[MLB] 2023 Major League Baseball Season (MLB Thread)
- Thread starter jwhouk
- Start date
I talked shit about the Giants last year, and their season turned out okay (I guess), so I'll do it again.
The Giants are seriously fucked in their starting rotation, which used to be their strength. Sure, Bumgarner's great; he has been for years. But after that you've got a guy coming off major surgery (Cain), a guy who has to recapture former glory AGAIN (Peavy), a guy who just turned 40 (Hudson), and a guy with serious mental problems with his mechanics (Lincecum). So what do they do? Sign another older player who seems to be fading (Vogelsong).
Ugh.

The Astros might be .500 this year???
You would have to be a millionaire to afford enough ballpark food to hurt you.
At current prices that's what, one homestand, maybe two?
Oh, admit it, you want to try Nachos on a Stick - AND that Churro Dog in 'Zona.Nice rant from KO about ballpark food. "Because life expectancy in Milwaukee has gotten a little too high."
Damn right, 'cause why not?
This (sadly) happens all the time in soccer. Believed to be a first for MLB.
GO ASTROS
Tampa Bay does that at least once a week.
Why not cancel the game? or move it to a temporary location?
You can't cancel. Every team has to play 162 games in a year. As for moving it, I don't think they had any realistic options. They already moved the location for their weekend series with Tampa Bay.
Is it too early to start shooting pitchers? Our big upcoming pitcher from last year pulled a "Wild Thing" on us and came back for his second year completely stuck in his own head. He went from just blowing pitches by the batters to trying to throw 4 seamers, and sinkers, and curve balls, and such - and now he's almost completely useless. Case in point, tonight's game against the Padres. I turn the game on 18 minutes after it started and it should be over by that point, 4 - 0 Mariners in the bottom of the 1st with 1 out and 1 on. The Pads get out of the inning with their starting pitcher throwing just a few more than 20 pitches in the first (35). Second inning starts off looking good, get's a pop out, then a fly out, and then the wheels fall off. Walks the next 3 consecutive batters, loading the bases, and gets luckier than any man has a right to on the 4th batter, who pops out to short on a (4th consecutive) full count. Short of buying the douche a Harley and getting him to sleep with a hot young teacher, I really don't know what can be done for the poor fucker if he can't get out of his head sometime soon.

Rest of MLB asks: "What did they do with the other 40,000?"

Least your manager didn't get tossed while turning in his lineup card 
Working as intended.
I'm the smartest person alive
No, it went with Cameron.
Yippee. Put the Crew back in your shoes and I bet situations are reversed.
And Tapatalk STILL doesn't do blocked posts...
