2021 MLB Regular Season Thread

Word is out that the Yankees have chosen to play Boston in the event of a 4 way tie.
Also both Boston and the Jays have chosen to play one road game instead of two homes game if that scenario comes to be.

The local tv and radio calls of the big hit last night:

[MaxWebster]

man - i'm on team Jays but watching those gave me chills. Absolutely awesome.

Bring me the chaos! 4-way tie today LFG.

M's are not holding up their part of the deal...down 6-2 in the 5th.

It’s hard not to be happy for the Yankees right now. And if Boston joins them in the next few minutes, well that’s just a win-win.

[mister d]

I know we were fucking around acting like Stanton might have competition for the AL MVP but … does Stanton have competition for the AL MVP?

In all seriousness, if you can’t get monster TV ratings and buzz out of Yanks-Sox and Dodgers-Cardinals, just pack it up and convert every ballpark into a cricket oval

Would love to bet my retirement money on Red Sox-Yankees being over 4 hours, 9 innings or not.

No, no it isn't.

Cricket would get even lower ratings wtf

Crisis half-averted

This is the regular season thread. Mods please lock.

[Ryan]

Sorry, I never had to figure out what the Wild Card was before

[mister d]

Yeah, probably because the most “Wild Card” game in New Hampshire is GO FISH!!!

I read this in Norm’s voice and it killed.

[Rex]

Oh yes Brian he's doing an excellent job boy you guys are really lucky to have him and it would be a real whopper of a mistake if you were to let him go now if you don't mind I have an ALCS game to attend to bye

[mister d]

I kinda get it? Theirs and a lot of teams' managerial role is strictly to manage the players as humans where the majority of decision making is done by/with the front office and before the game ever starts. I don't think Boone is great by any means, but that's probably more on a front office that gave him an entirely right-handed lineup and only Brett Gardner behind the injury prone Keegan Michael Key in CF. If the players like him (and they seem to), I don't know how you're going to improve there if you're maintaining the same job description.



(Basically, firing Boone would be Cashman shadow firing himself since he constructed the roster and scripted how to use it.)

[Johnnie]

PETA should get fucked. Forever and always.

[Brontoburglar]

PETA knows exactly what it's doing and did it to you

[brian]

Was going to say the same thing.

[Brontoburglar]

tbh though, "arm barn" is pretty good

[GoodKarma]

I agree...I can get behind that...I like arm barn better

[A_B]

maybe get a local prosthetic provider to sponsor it.

[Reaper]

maybe get a local prosthetic provider to sponsor it.

If we're talking sponsorship, it should just be the armpit. Most of them stink anyway. And I'm sure you can get many antiperspirants to fork some money over for that.

[A_B]

OOOH...Arm Pit. I like that too. I'll call Axe.

[govmentchedda]

OOOH...Arm Pit. I like that too. I'll call Axe.

You know how to get ahold of Axelrod? Call Chuck Rhoades!

Major props to the first middle reliever to wear a fur coat
