Both very funny though. On the subject of embarrassing things for the Mets, happy Bobby Bonilla day! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig fae the Vale Posted July 1, 2023 Share Posted July 1, 2023 (edited) Phillies have just crushed 5 runs in the third to lead the Nationals 6-1. Been an enjoyable watch so far. Edit: make that 6 runs for a 7-1 lead and a runner on second. Nationals pitcher MacKenzie Gore has been pulled. Edit #2: A grand slam makes it 19-4 in the bottom of the fifth. Jeez.

Boo Khaki Posted July 8, 2023 Share Posted July 8, 2023 Padres are now 0-8 on the season in extra-innings games. Outscored 24-6 in that time, team batting just .135 Basically a microcosm of why this team is so underwhelming. Really poor situational baseball time after time, and utterly hopeless with RISP. Despite that, I still expect they'll waste even more of Seidler's money prior to the deadline. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't seen that one before. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wile E Coyote Posted July 9, 2023 Share Posted July 9, 2023 Watching the Braves Rays game. Wade Boggs is being inducted into the Rays hall of fame. He was a great player for Boston and the Yankees but I am not sure playing for 2 years for a team means you should be in their HOF. His speech is a load of self indulgent pish as well 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig fae the Vale Posted July 9, 2023 Share Posted July 9, 2023 Just watched the Mariners beat the Astros to claim a first 4 game series win in Houston in 5 years. Have won 7 of the last 9 games and go into the All Star break above .500. Could there be another playoff run this year? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His speech is a load of self indulgent pish as well Ted Williams is in the Padres HoF despite not even playing two full seasons as a Padre. Of course, this was 30 years before the Pads were even an MLB franchise, and Williams himself was a Baseball HoF'er before the Pads were an MLB club. Just screams of 'we'll have a bit of that for marketing purposes'. Surprised the Pads didn't try and poach a bit of Ricky Henderson's legacy as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boo Khaki Posted July 9, 2023 Share Posted July 9, 2023 (edited) Kinda hoping it kicks off in this Pads/Mets game because I wouldn't put it past Joe Musgrove to charge the Mets dugout and kick f**k out of Buck Showalter after last years' playoff horseshit. and just as I post that, Musgrove hits Alonso in the helmet with a curiously mislocated curveball. And he hits the next batter with another curve Edited July 9, 2023 by Boo Khaki 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zanetti Posted July 9, 2023 Share Posted July 9, 2023 44 runs and a 5 game win steak going into the All Star break for the Orioles, including a sweep against arguably the best rotation in baseball vs the Twins. I've said it before but this team so unbelievably entertaining to watch. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ignoramus Posted July 11, 2023 Share Posted July 11, 2023 It’s quite entertaining for about 10 minutes and then you kind of lose the feel for how impressive for these guys to hit homers when they’re launching hundreds in an hour. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just find it incredibly boring Utter tedium. I can't really be bothered with the ASB at all, but at least the game itself is usually given a little bit more respect than the likes of the Probowl game is by NFL players. Still convinced the Home Run Derby was entirely responsible for Soto's batting slump post-ASB last season, and he's only really recovered from that in the past few months. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torpar Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 The Home Run Derby is much better than the game itself. The Roid era derbies were a great watch. Good to see a Canadian winner too! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
placidcasual Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 The ASG was better when it decided who had 4 home games in the WS. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I thought it was a good move, but the players’ association hated it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
