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
Torkelson is hitting the ball hard almost every at bat.
Stop the damn regular season right now. The San Diego Padres are 14-3.
I'm tired of jokes like...
Q: What's the difference between dirt and the San Diego Padres?
A: Nothing...they both always get swept.
It's insane the best team in baseball has Yuli Gurriel, Martin Maldanado, and Jason Hayward in the starting lineup.
I asked AI what is the record for most outs made on the base paths by a player in a game. It said it didn't understand the question. I came up with Robby Thompson with 4 times caught stealing in a game, the only player ever to do that in MLB. But that isn't conclusive about total outs on bases if you include pickoffs and thrown out otherwise at a base.

4 times thrown out in a game is pretty epic. I'm assuming he went 0/4?
How do you try again after the 3rd failure?
At the start of play today only three teams in MLB had a better winning percentage than the Arizona Diamondbacks. All three are in the NL West.

I looked a the standings yesterday and thought about how the hell do the Braves make the playoffs.

They don't. Giants are legit and deep. Central obviously only gets one team and Braverinos are on the wrong side of the battle royale that is the NL east and west.imo
Giants offense is legit. Say what you will about Farhan’s slavish devotion to analytics with zero room for compromise that created this unwatchable cesspool for years but he nailed it on Chapman (which posey extended to an albatross contract as well as adames) and Lee
The pitching is a fiasco. It’s Webb and a bunch of #4s
Still, this team is going to be entertaining. And because of that the west is gonna be ****ing wild

SRM likes it ****ing wild.
Yeah the Braves really haven’t looked encouraging right from the start this year.
Strider coming back, Acuña maybe a month away so it might get better,
But it’s rough right now.
Blue Jays right fielder Addison Barger had three outfield assists, including two in the fourth. Barger’s throw to third to retire Tellez trying to advance on a fly ball in the fifth was measured at 98.8 mph, faster than any pitch thrown in the game.
Lad has an arm......
Free Paul
Wouldn't they get more for him Now rather than later?
When should the Pirates actually trade him? He's there until 2029, but they need to trade him soon since there's no ****ing chance in hell he's staying and the Pirates wouldn't want to pay him anyway.
guessing he'll wind up with the doyers or yankees before the end of the season somehow someway. Unless Livvy Dunne wants to retire somewhere less glamorous.

All nine Reds starters had a hit, a run and an RBI today. Eight players scored multiple runs for them, and I guessed that the record for that is 10, which was a wild guess. (Rangers v. Orioles 30-3 game Rangers had 9 players with multiple runs.)
* AI again doesn't understand the question, and goes to players with multiple home runs in a game.
Judge 4 for 4 today...thankfully in a loss. While it will revert over time, it nonetheless feels unfair though that the best power hitter in the game is batting .412
I didn't realize what a brutal schedule the Cubs have had to start the season:
LAD in Japan
@ARI
@ATH
SDG
TEX
@LAD
@SDG
ARI
LAD
The A's are the only team on that list that isn't above 0.500 and they're just barely below. The rest of those teams are among the best records in the league so far, and 20 of their first 26 games are against the NL West, which is stacked this year. And after this LAD series they get PHI.
It's really impressive that they're 15-10 after a big comeback win against the Doyers tonight. Cubs are legit.
Mets win their 6th straight tonight.
They employed a secret weapon for tonight’s game.

I was in attendance!
