Zanetti Posted May 20, 2023 Share Posted May 20, 2023 Also, the Blue Jays made an absolute mess of that Varsho trade. He has been terrible for them and they gave up for too much. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The new rules are absolutely a massive positive for the sport. They really have been. The pitch clock in particular has been an excellent development. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boo Khaki Posted May 21, 2023 Share Posted May 21, 2023 I think the Pads are another couple of losses away from a complete implosion. Mass firings, players calling each other out etc. The entire hitting lineup has turned into Eric Hosmer. That's jobless Eric Hosmer, who the Cubs DFA'd 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zanetti Posted May 21, 2023 Share Posted May 21, 2023 One year ago today Adley Rutschman made his MLB debut; since then the Baltimore Orioles (who had just come off three 100 loss win seasons, not including the COVID year) are 98-71. What an outrageously entertaining and talented team to watch right now, the future for these guys is seriously exciting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's fantastic. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boo Khaki Posted June 1, 2023 Share Posted June 1, 2023 Pads coming into this series hitting .185 with RISP on the season. Gone .500 over these three games. Who are these impostors? Still managed to lose game two having held the Marlins scoreless through 8 and ultimately only giving up 2 runs. Peak Padresing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wile E Coyote Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 To the surprise of absolutely nobody Jacob deGrom is injured and out for the season. Questions surely must be asked of the Rangers management for thinking this contract was a good idea 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GNU_Linux Posted June 10, 2023 Share Posted June 10, 2023 (edited) One of the intersting notes from the 2022-2026 labour deal made public last month is that it allows for expansion of the league to 32 teams. There's zero chance of a team being added by 2026 as expansion is unlikely until the A's & Ray sort their ballpark situations. The DH being universal makes re-alignment easier.

Didn't the Cubs try and erect advertisement boards and get shot down by those owing the seats outside? the seven inning stretch is cool though, a good team to follow if in UK with all those early games.. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expansion is an interesting one for me. Think it'd be cool to see another Canadian team, but it seems pretty unlikely. Other than Vegas which still seems to be getting the A's, Nashville and Charlotte are often mentioned in the conversation. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know how it works with MLB but I'd guess any new franchise would need approval from whichever incumbent team has the locale classed as part of their market e.g. Utah is the Rockies 'market'. Mexico City is another that gets mentioned. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zanetti Posted June 18, 2023 Share Posted June 18, 2023 Ohtani will eventually be considered the best player of all time, I'm absolutely convinced of it. He's just ridiculously talented. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's just ridiculously talented. Different era.. The Babe wasn't a bad pitcher.... Babe Ruth's career pitching record was 94-46, 2.28 ERA. 147 Games Started, 107 CG, 17 Shutouts, allowing 7.2 Hits/9. His average Won-Loss record over 162 games is 21-10. 107 complete games with a 2.28 ERA is some going..... He then became too valuable to lose his hitting ability.. Today's pitchers, how many innings? It's all pitch counts nowadays... Arms must have been hanging off... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
