[quote=sdskinsfan2001;1342630]Fucking brutal series if you're a Mets fan. A 3-run lead in all 3 games, and you lose all 3, with the final game being the worst. They are fucked pitching wise. Their starters can barely get through 5 innings, if that, and they don't have the bullpen arms to regularly/effectively cover 4+ innings every night.

On our end, Strider was concerning last night. Velocity was down a couple ticks. And he just pitched like shit in general.[/quote]

yeah you nailed it, their starters aren't working deep enough and the bullpen is stretched too thin especially with losing Diaz.

Braves' Ronald Acuña Jr. becomes first player in history with 20 homers and 35 steals before All-Star break

I’ll take Acuna over Ohtani.

Hey, the National League won the all-star game. Rare.

Not that it actually matters anymore, since both leagues have the DH now.

No Braves players got injured, great game!!

Can we go back to the days of when players would simply wear their own uniforms in the all star game? Those were truly terrible uniforms.

I watched the whole game, and agree. I cant put faces without the uniforms…so they basically camouflage and sense of the individual

Also, it’s ridiculous the rookie phenom Elly De La Cruz couldn’t get somehow in this game, he’s been here a month is easily a top player in the NL

Braves are pissing me right-the-fuck off in the 2nd half.

Lol at Aaron Boone mocking the umpire last night.

Yeah, the overall umpiring is quite atrocious.

Re: 2023 MLB Season Thread
 

What's up with the Orioles and Kevin Brown? Suspending him for telling the truth on how they've struggled against the Rays? Seriously pathetic.

Punch, Yankees are so bad right now, I was actually a little bored watching tonight's game. Will Cashman ever get fired?

The main problem is Hal. He could care less about winning because Yankee Stadium will fill up every game every time no matter how bad they are. It is just like MSG and the Knicks. Tourist attraction. Hal is a businessman. Not a fan like his Dad. I finally get rid of Snyder and now am stuck with the new worst owner in sports. Cashman is never getting fired, and he should be. What he has assembled is an absolute joke. Even those 90’s teams with Jeter Posada Bernie and Pettite - were not his. He did not draft them. He was gifted that team and at the time had more money than anyone so getting the Oneils, and the rest of those free agents was just too easy. Cashman is the absolute worst. Our farm system sucks. He cant draft. His FA acquisitions are always hurt and just laughs. His trades are insane. Boone is just a yes man. I don’t think he is terrible, but he isn’t great. He will be the fall guy, and they will bring in another Boone.
It is by far, without a doubt, the greatest franchise in any sport ever, and what Hal is allowing to happen to it is beyond disgusting. This team is so locked into so many bad contracts and has no farm system. They are in trouble for the foreseeable future.
