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
Extra runner is so ****ing bad and gimmicky.
Extra runner is fine honestly.
I don't miss 18 inning games in the regular season.
14 years $500 million for Vladdy to stay with Jays. Signed this morning.
I hate the free base runner in extras. If you needed an extra inning gimmick I think 4 outs per inning would work better.
Jeez I forgot about that auto base runner in extra innings. Yeah, bogus.
I'm looking for the most times being shutout for a team in the live ball era. The all-time record is 33 and 32 in each league well before 1920. Haven't found since 1920 record.
I'm starting to be a believer in Ohtani. One more season of like 45 homers and 35 doubles/triples with OPS around 1.000 and leading the league in OB% and he passes muster straight up.
I don't watch many Tigers games, but from what I've seen Colt Keith is a horrific 2nd baseguy. 3 easy play errors in 2 games.
Colt belongs in AAA and might find himself there when Torres returns.
Tigazzz looked great in person today. Torkelson is locked in and could be an all-star this year.
Skubal looked great, too, shutting out the Yankees.
Octavio Dotel died in D.R. nightclub disaster. Guy played for 13 teams. Dotel, Brad Lidge, and Billy Wagner Astros 2003 bullpen is without a doubt one of the GOAT, at least for Ks.
Top career save earners from Dominican Republic would be a good trivia, but probably too difficult for yall jingoist Americans, even though the top 20 are 2000-present players.
All pitched for Det at some point in their career at some point, except number 4.
1. ('99-'12) 329 saves
2. ('02-'19) 327
3. ('87-'07) 321
4. ('94-'08) 289
5. ('03-'14) 288
Cycle watch for Schwarber.

Keith is only playing 2B because Torres has been on the DL. He spent the entire offseason repping at 1B. But he might not get his job back when Torres returns if Torkelson keeps hitting like this.

#3 only had half a season in detroit, with many forgettable tigers seasons it isn't much of a clue, Jim Rome like his name translation too much. 9 teams total.
#4 has an L and a SV in his 3 WS appearances in the same series repping the NL
K Rod???
wrong country
M's announcer brought up a decent point. Every M's home game is U7.5 pre, and ends up a one or two run game at the end. That's a **** load of stress for your supposed home game advantage.
#3 is almost definitely Jose Mesa.

Hate to break it to you mclovin Yankees are walloping shitty pitching like they are supposed to and getting dominated by good SPs like we knew they would. Mets seem to be squeaking by both.
Spoiler
neither goes deep in playoffs.imo
txdome what is your opinion of Houston's bullpen right now?
#Mycubbies fans are going to realize Pressly hasn't been a Major League closer for years. Hader is a dud, which sucks because he can still strike guys out. Everyone else sucks marshmallow.
