Really can't wait for a full baseball season with fans in the stands. Also can't wait to get to a game this year.

Re: MLB thread
 

Opening Day! One of the best days of the year!! Good luck this season everyone.

I too am bummed. Heard one player tested positive on the team plane back from spring training and now 5 other players are quarantined.

Shit sucks after they went the entire spring training without a positive test.

Seeing the snow falling in Detroit was cool scenery.

Ya know...i think as vaccines are now rolling out, why not have the baseball, basketball players get the vaccine? I really think we are at a point where high risk people and the elder have gotten there opportunity to get the shot.

There is some personal responsibility to get this done...the many excuses are bullshit (as usual)

World Series - White Sox vs. Padres

Re: MLB thread
 

Orioles are 3-0.

They do have a great farm system (ranked #5 in MLB), so success could be in their future.

Suspend them both. That was some of the weakest shit I've ever seen.

Suspend Conforto for not dodging a strike that barely glanced off his elbow?

Come on. That's totally ridiculous. Is Conforto the first batter to lean into a pitch? And in real time you could barely even pick up on the lean.

Not dodging?? No, he twisted his arm purposely into the strike zone. Weak ass shit.

Ump should have called him out, no doubt.

But saying Conforto cheated and he should be suspend is just silly.

Obligatory #fuckJoseTabata

Mad Max lost a perfect game because of that asshole.

Seems like umps in general never call it when a player leans in to get a HBP.

Definitely on the ump. Still think he will get some chin music when Mets go to Miami

Re: MLB thread
 

I say don't even worry, karma will swing back around and screw over the Mets at some point this year. Guaranteed.

Spoken like a true long suffering fan

Re: MLB thread
 

Punch, how do you like the new Yankee Stadium?

RF is a joke imo. It's difficult to hit a single there, because the fence is so close, you can play super shallow. But any decent fly ball is a HR. Our 3rd baseman hit a routine fly ball and got a HR instead, and it was his 1st of the season.

Note - It was a short series split. If Yankees won both or we did, I wouldn't ask. But it feels like the perfect time to ask a Yankees fan about the stadium.

Yeah, he's a stud.

The NL East was supposed to be the best division. Everyone so far is mired in mediocrity. Still early. Should be a fun race.

John Means with a no no. The birds go 4-2 against Oakland and Seattle on west coast. Means with two great starts. Not a bad week at the office.

Congrats to the O's, still hold a soft spot for them despite their general disdain towards us for abandoning them when the Nats arrived in town. I still want them to do well though. Peter Angelos can go fuck himself though.

Re: MLB thread
 

Peter Angelos is not well loved but his sons seem pretty good so far. They come on radio shows and do a lot of Q and A. I have no hate for Nats rooted for them in the WS and love the city of DC. I am a bit bitter about MLB reneging on the MASN contract they signed when moving the team to DC but businesses do that all the time and I get it. Having a successful franchise in DC is a national brand issue.

The hate for the Astros is strong. My best friend is a Dodgers fan, and he hates them still, with every fiber of his being.

It hits a bit different for AL or Dodgers fans. Rightfully so.

Dont touch my shirt was a walkoff homer on a slider against Chapman and that little fuckin cheater Altuve was just sitting on it.

Ha…y’all lucky I don’t go scalper on the half the shit I want too. I coulda written for days on the violence within and associated with Marxism. Historical receipts and quotes directly from the horses mouth (or ass, Marx himself) and his students

But Chico is calming down as we enter the roaring 20s with my mask off these days

Re: MLB thread
 

Sorry brother not sure what you’re talking about. I was referring to what you thought was funny commercials and what was good beer. This being out of the debating with the enemy forum and all.

Re: MLB thread
 

So had a cool experience today. My kids baseball and softball games canceled due to rain this morning so when weather cleared up I took them to the high school and did some hitting drills on the turf. There were other people walking, doing drills etc. We were headed back to the car when this older gentleman tells me he is so happy to see younger players being taught proper swing mechanics. He then tells us he had been a hitting coach in the majors for 30 years. I look at him and realize it was Terry Crowley. He took my kids gave them some swing pointers, told me how to continue to work their follow through.

Then he talked a little bit about working mechanics with Nick Markakis and Adam Jones too of my favorite players in recent memory. What a fun and lucky experience.

As Bruce would say #winningoffthefield

Re: MLB thread
 

That is very cool. Just meeting him is a big deal but him taking the time with your sons is a memory they'll never forget.


Similar fun story, my son took some hitting lessons with a former MLB draft pick and local Independent League star Jason Aspito. He was good, had 24 HRs and 105 RBIs one year. Helped my son's hitting tremendously.
