OFFICIAL 2023 MLB THREAD!!!!

Was Cory Kluber supposed to be good? Every time I turn the game on he’s giving up seven runs

[irul&ublo]

Helloooo….Boston….pitching is important. Love, Theo

[BmillsSkier]

Speaking of flexibility,

Today the Guardo’s Jose Ramirez was at the plate with his bat on his shoulder while the Detroit pitcher he was facing was walking around the perimeter of the mound. Only when he climbed that mound and toed the rubber did the ump call a strike on Jose.

WHAT THE FUCK? The pitcher wasn’t on the mound yet Jose was in the box but he got a strike the second the pitcher hit the rubber just cause a clock bit 8 seconds!?!? Yeah, no. Fix that MLB.

Fwiw. Josey hit a HR in the AB.

He was so good in 2016.

gwynn made 50% more money than boggs despite being worse at baseball.

[BmillsSkier]

The Las Vegas A's.

I guess they can be closer to the Raiders now if anything.

Oakland going from three teams to zero in five years is brutal for them.

Yeah, that's got to be some kind of record right?

[Supermoon]

Part of it is that anyone who is an actual Oakland fan has been gentrified out of the area by a bunch of tech bros who don’t really care about Oakland sports.

The game I saw in Oakland last summer had probably the fewest fans, but they were all die-hard. Feel bad for the tens of them left in the area.

It’s good for baseball, though to get that team somewhere fresh.

One down, one to go. Now what’s going to happen to the Rays?

wade boggs, man!

Sounds like they are just going to actually move to Tampa, which is a bummer cause St Petes >>> than Tampa, and the Trop is in a great spot there.

The Rays are a really good organization in an incredibly shitty stadium that's in a place where no one can easily get to it.

Montreal?

[ex-powderbroker]

the sox did him wrong yanking that 7/37 deal away from him they’d agreed to but it worked out in the end.

four consecutive years of 200 hits 100 walks

.415 career obp

pretty pretty pretty inner circle if you ask me

there were plenty of A’s fans, but the stadium was shit to get to for almost everyone because of traffic, and unlike whatever the current name of the Giants park is there’s nothing around it really so you can’t pregame the same way

[mcski]

It’s a self fullfilling outcome created by the owners and the ghost of Al Davis. Turned a decently nice looking stadium for fans into the Mt Davis pos monument that remains, no decent upkeep or upgrades, and increasingly bad Bay Area traffic. The As fan base is huge and would be a money maker if they could get a decent stadium built somewhere and a team that wasn’t made up of disposable parts. Hard to stay engaged when you don’t know any players will stick around once they are valuable. The ownership is on par w Cohen of the warriors wilderness years

[Supermoon]

Woah. Mad Bum DFA’d with $38 mil left on his contract. Yikes.

[mcski]

ERA over 10. Wow

[BmillsSkier]

Nothing about Scherzer getting suspended for foreign substances?

Granted the story doesn’t seem to add up, but we’ll see.

[Woodsy]

Mookie Betts is a hell of a shortstop...

[cinnepa]

Phillies blow.

[Supermoon]

Phillies blow.

Luckily Harper could be back in two weeks

[ex-powderbroker]

fire the manager and get super lucky again

Shitty umpires vs shitty scherzer is a let them fight
