[MLB] 2023 Major League Baseball Season (MLB Thread)

I love MadBum, but we’re long past the point when the Giants should be trading their handful of great players for good prospects. The Giants depleted their farm system during that great run from ‘09 - ‘14 and never rebuilt. They’re not going anywhere with their current lineup (despite whatever our delusional CEO thinks) and there’s no young talent coming up. I say trade anyone other than Posey for good prospects and draft picks and start to rebuild. Besides, players like MadBum, Belt, Panik, and Crawford deserve another chance even if it means doing it with another team. We had a great run and it’s time to move on to the next phase.So... trade speculations say that the Brewers are eyeing a certain pitcher from the Bay Area to add to the squad in trade.
Just wondering for our Giants fans out there: is this "Bumingardiner" guy any good?
I guess I won't be travelling to Milwaukee to watch a Jays game.
The Giants are back in their 2005-2009 mode: pay too much for one or two older players who used to be good but are now over-the-hill, and then ignore the rest of your numerous problems. I managed to stay a fan through those dark years, and I will do it again now.
But it ain’t easy.
Well, yeah! He has to have the worst first half of a season in a his career, so his value goes down and the Giants get fucking nothing. THEN he’ll go to another team and win another World Series singlehandedly or something. It’s the Giants way!
But we’ll only let with him if you give us a backup infielder over the age of 30. We’ll throw in some draft picks and our best AAA player if that guy was good 5 years ago (but hasn’t done much since).

You want Eric Thames?
So, Bryce-a-Roni, anyone?
Don't get me wrong, it would be exciting to have someone as good as Bryce Harper come here. But the Giants are sooooooo incredibly fucked up right now, this would be a case where they blow most of their budget on one player while never really filling needs at 4-5 other positions. It would be a disaster for all.
Fuck you. Fuck you so very very much.
I was on board the USS Yorktown, a day out from returning to Norfolk and a day out from going on leave. My friend and I had tickets to Game 1 of the World Series at Three Rivers Stadium.
Instead I snapped my glasses in half on my way from the ship's library to my bunk, cried myself to sleep, and was greeted with a chorus of tomahawk chops at quarters the next morning.
FUCK FRANCISCO CABRERA.
Which is the origin of the meme.I'd still say Bonds was in the wrong position to field the ball.
Computer lab, University of Kentucky, working on a term paper. I seem to remember being pissed about it, but that makes no sense since it was only the Braves' 2nd year of prominence & the intense dislike for them wasn't built up yet. I would think my hatred for all things Pittsburgh would have been fully manifested by that point of my life.
Watching the Blue Jays.
