Even those of us who were paying attention found out yesterday, so don't feel too bad.

Is that good? It sounds good.
And his one problem is he didn’t go to Russia that night because he had extracurricular activities, and they froze to death.

Throwing a no-hitter in your first career start doesn’t leave a lot of room to improve.

But when you are a 27-year-old who was a Rule 5 add, you might as well throw your dream game because who the fuck knows how long your career is going to be. That was really cool. His family being there was unreal on top of everything else.

By Sunday we should know if the Reds really do have a chance to sneak a wildcard. Three against cubs, four against Miami in a 7 game homestand. 2.5 back of Padres at the moment.

Oh the Reds are capable of fucking it up all by themselves, so no worries there. But it's a fun team to watch try to figure it out.

According to reports, Cubs-Reds is the next Field of Dreams matchup. The obvious pairing is White Sox-Reds. Pete Rose could throw out the first pitch!

Re: 2021 MLB Regular Season Thread
I don't mean to be a bummer, but my math has the 2003 Tigers (119 losses!) sporting a -123 run differential over 45 games for your choice of games 111-155 (Aug 6-Sep 21) of games 112-156 (Aug 7-Sep 22).
If you're going to suck, really go for it. I mean, you're talking about a team that has already won more games than that '03 Tigers team and it's there's 6+ weeks of season to go.

You can add "racist" to "misogynist" on Jack Morris' Hall of Fame plaque.

I really hate those fake, half-assed, "I apologize if I offended anybody" pseudo-apologies. Is it that hard to make a real apology?

Not only is that patently racist, I don’t even get the joke. A steak?

Re: 2021 MLB Regular Season Thread
After also being confused by it, this is where I landed on it. I think Morris was mixing stereotypes of people of Arabic and Indian descent and tying in "sacred cow". I don't think he's smart enough to realize the hijab could be worn by a woman of the Islamic faith who is from India.

I wasn't even giving him that much credit. I assumed he was "jokingly" accusing her of stealing.

So, aside from and apart from Jack Morris being a racist asshole, Shohei Otani is having literally the best baseball season...ever. Right? Like, EVER?
Re: 2021 MLB Regular Season Thread
I might go as far to say if not the best than at least unique for any of the four majors. What would be a good comparison in another sport? Like the guy who leads the league in sacks also catches 80/1100/9 from the TE slot? This is some Don Hutson shit, when he would win the receiving triple crown and finish top 5 in INTs.
