2023 MLB Regular Season

All of that is great, bfj!

[Steve of phpBB]

That’s awesome.

Palmer would probably be like a 7th inning specialist in today’s game

Please shit on another hero. Anything nasty to say about Eddie Murray?

[mister d]

Seems like he'd be an incredibly boring guy.

Don't take the bait. He's 38th all time for pitcher's WAR.

[Giff]

I’m pretty sure it was a joke based on some recent convos here, guys.

[Ryan]

The underwear might be back in style, I’ll give him that

[mister d]

Yeah, it’s just for fun, otherwise someone would point out he’s directly behind Kevin Brown and Rick Reuschel who pitched 700 and 400 less innings, respectively.

Palmer was a great pitcher, no doubt. But I don’t get the thin-skinned Baltimore responses. Nobody said Brooks Robinson wasn’t great, but yes we’re allowed to use facts to question an assertion that he was the greatest ever at his position.

On his death thread? I got yelled at for saying Mary Tyler Moore wasn’t that funny.

And I was just joking w Ryan. I don’t care what you fuckers say!

Yes. I get jokes.

Yeah, not on the day the guy passed. And then Brian went all woke like the takes were anti-Latino. Screw that nonsense.

Seriously, at the end of the day, Babe freakin Ruth wouldn't make it in today's game.

[Giff]

I’m sure it’s not as rare as I’m thinking, but I wonder how many times both opponents clinch playoff spots during the same game.

[mister d]

Feels like its probably pretty rare.

[Giff]

[A_B]

That’s pretty funny

[travzilla]

Can probably think of 10 Blue Jays seasons where they missed the playoffs that were more enjoyable than this year. Of course that probably means they'll end up riding these bad vibes right to the ALCS. Can't even tell if they mini-tanked to get the Twins or if their weird schizophrenia landed them there anyway, but Minnesota ending the 18-game playoff losing streak is a safe bet.

Positing that XYZ player juiced because they’re Latino is sine qua non anti-Latino

What the hell are you on about here? Adrian Beltre’s name was on the list that got leaked. The fact that a chunk of the names on that list are of Latino descent doesn’t mean anything other than the fact they got popped for banned substances during a sweep that promised no reprisals other than the risk of harsher penalties down the line. It’s also indicative of the # of Latino players in the sport.

FFS dude.

[degenerasian]

Probably should start a playoff thread.

Why does baseball insist on staggered schedules on weekdays? Who's watching baseball playoffs at work?

Play 4 games all at night like normal, viewers can handle it.

I love it. have an extra laptop just for this

[Giff]

I enjoy it too. Makes for a good reason to skip out of work early.

So apparently Wander Franco fired his legal team on December 20th, was not found at either of his known residences in the DR this past Tuesday, and blew off a court summons for this morning.

Uh…

[A_B]

Not ideal as the kids say.

[mister d]

I don’t know if he got some PT assurances, but on a one year deal I would have loved Bader back in a soft platoon with Grisham. Instead it’s Judge covering massive territory and fucking Verdugo.

[Giff]

Yeah probably my least favorite U2 single but not real sure what it has to do with the Yankees OF situation.

[mister d]

Hmmm … just reread that and the phrasing isn’t perfect.

(5? people will get that)

I feel very close to thinking I get this but can’t get the tush push across the line.
