2025 MLB Season Thread
The Tokyo series is March 18-19th, will air on FOX, and is between The Cubs and The Dodgers.
The Regular Season starts Ma
That thing looks like an Ewok on steroids.
The math checks out
Judge being 32 is crazy to me. Seems like he should be 28 or 29.
Braves look soooooo bad.
Thankfully, it’s a very long season.
In other news Yankees are on pace to go 162-0.
Spoiler
Which they assuredly will.
Somebody got me this big baseball history book. Trivia:
In the 10 decades since the Yankees got Babe Ruth, who is the only team besides the Yankees to lead the American League in wins for a decade (1920-29, 1930-39, etc. ... up to 2010-19)?
Spoiler
I was a bit surprised to see that in the Mattingly Yankee slump decades of the 80's and 90's, the Yankees still led the league in wins for those two decades (obviously the early 80's and late 90's saved them, still was a bit surprised).
70's A's?
A's weren't good after like 1975.
I'll guess 70s Baltimore Orioles.

My first guess was 2010s Astros, but I thought about it for 5 minutes and I guess they had to tank super hard to get all those players so that's probably not right

Cleveland?
Spoiler
I just saw the spoiler, but I thought the Indians of the 90's was a good guess
The Orioles are a good guess, but I'm not sure how those teams split decades.
Guessing-
Boston Red Sox for the 2000s.
It's definitely not the Red Sox.
They finished above the Yankees twice in that entire decade.
I'm almost certain it's the Orioles. They were generally big winners in the Earl Weaver era. Can't see it being anyone else.
Got the split i was hoping for, just not in the way i wanted or expected. Either way I'll take it. West coast trips are always rough and the Cubs have a brutal schedule through April.
The Cubs had a 15 mile trip from Sloan Park to Chase Field. The Diamondbacks had a 20 mile trip from Salt River Fields. I'm not sure "west coast trips" are part of this one, lol
