Tigers/Skubal became second team in MLB history yesterday to hold opposing team to 0 runs, 0 walks, 0 extra-base hits and 10+ strikeouts on Opening Day.
Other time was Bob Gibson in 1967.

Acuna is 50 bombs / 49 steals away from history, if you’re banking on those numbers in fantasy.

Re: MLB 2024
We’re just not a very good March team. And that’s ok.

Re: MLB 2024
The Yankees have as many wins in their last 7 games at MMP as the Astros do in their last 33.

Not every team can be as dominant as the Pirates and Tigers.

Re: MLB 2024
couldn't believe when i was watching that last night that the Astros have had 17 - that's a crazy high amount, no?
Great story last night and after the game was a runaway we were all rooting for the no-no. Blanco was dominant and quick.

4 since 2022 when the rest of the league has 3 overall. That dude has had quite the week. Found out on Wednesday he was making the team after striking out 10 in 4 innings just hours after the birth of his kiddo.

Meanwhile the Jays have been no hit 8 times, 6 in the last 10 years. They have only thrown 1 no hitter ever.MaxWebster wrote: ↑Tue Apr 02, 2024 6:41 am couldn't believe when i was watching that last night that the Astros have had 17 - that's a crazy high amount, no?

Re: MLB 2024
pretty sure he got down to the last out on consecutive starts too.
Definitely on the list of best players not in the Hall and if he had the exact same numbers 20+ years later he might be first-ballot. Lack of wins killed him (and maybe lack of those no-nos)

From the Fun With Early Season Stats Dept., Bryce Harper added 800 points to his Slugging Percentage after tonight’s game.
(0 for 11 coming in, 3 for 4 with 3 bombs tonight)

Re: MLB 2024
I took my son and brother last night. I run the Phillies 5K every spring, so I get 4 free upper deck tickets to select games. Last night was BOGO dog night. There’s a minor brouhaha around here that they are doing this instead of dollar dog night. It was just nasty weather: cold, drizzly, and windy. We caught the top half of the 1st in our seats, then watched until the bottom of the 2nd under cover. Got a good view of Harper’s first bomb to left center. We then figured the tickets were free so leaving early was no big deal, so we got round 2 of dogs, inhaled them, and headed back.

Re: MLB 2024
It looked awful on TV weather-wise and my part of northern maryland backed that up. What a terrible set of days weather-wise for me to have the Reds in philly, gave it absolutely not a second glance at driving up for any of this set.L-Jam3 wrote: ↑Wed Apr 03, 2024 10:20 amI took my son and brother last night.

Looks like the A’s will now be the last psychedelic band from Sacto, Northern Cal
Re: MLB 2024
Nice reference. And like most Triple A stadiums, it’s better than the Coliseum.
As a Las Vegan I’m kind of cynically bummed they didn’t just play in our new, relatively state of the art Triple A park for four years but since I DGAF about the As and won’t even when they’re here, whatevs.
(They’re only playing in Sacto so they can keep the money for their regional TV deal.)

They plan to play in Sacramento in 2025 through 2027. Seating capacity 10,624. 325 feet in right field, 330 in left. Sounds like a bandbox to me.

Is the end game actually for the A's to play in Las Vegas? It's not official yet right? Pressure to stay in the Bay Area somehow?brian wrote: ↑Thu Apr 04, 2024 3:51 pmNice reference. And like most Triple A stadiums, it’s better than the Coliseum.

Mookie Betts succeeding at shortstop is ridiculous.

Re: MLB 2024
Yeah, it’s pretty cool he’s still elite in the field 10 years into his MLB career…Though he was a very good 2B in the minors, who really was shifted to CF/RF because the Sox had Bogaerts at SS and Pedroia at 2B. They moved him to RF cuz they had JBJr in CF.
They got rid of him because the Sox are run by a private equity group, and not a single owner who is impassioned about his team.

Re: MLB 2024
As mister d has said several times pedroia should have seen the bench or a trade vs Betts in OF. Also is Bob Lobel still alive? No way he's still on TV. And they got rid of him cause $300mm. I would dump that into the best farm in baseball too. Chaim tried. Success questionable.
Re: MLB 2024
They got rid of him because the PEG (FSG) tied one of Chaim’s arms behind his back. Don’t sugarcoat that nonsense.HaulCitgo wrote: ↑Fri Apr 05, 2024 7:43 am As mister d has said several times pedroia should have seen the bench or a trade vs Betts in OF.
