MLB 2018 regular season thread

Brewers-Cardinals starts like this ...

Fowler, Pham go back-to-back

... and ends like this ...

Must C: Yelich, Braun beat Cards

First time an MLB game has started and finished with back-to-back HR.

 

Or in Ohtani's case, one of each! They are identical!

 

Have to admit, I didn't realize how big Ohtani is. I guess I imagined him looking more like a Byung Hyun Kim or Ichiro type. He looks more like Chien Ming Wang.

 

Brian Dozier keeps on going.

“When they didn’t hold our runner on, they conceded to the fact they didn’t want us to steal, so we didn’t steal,” Dozier said. “We could have very easily stolen and put up more runs, so therefore in return you don’t bunt. That’s what everybody is missing in this whole thing.”

That unwritten rule is so unwritten that it doesn't even exist.

 

Why is MLB scheduling the Mets and Yankees at home at the same time, and in April?

 

Hey, global warming was supposed to eliminate this problem!

 

THEN DON'T FUCKING SHIFT UP 7-0 IN THE NINTH DICKBAG.

 

I really wish bulldozers dug into dirt instead of just pushing it, because there'd be a better Dozier/digging himself deeper into a hole joke there.

 

It happens from time to time, and sometimes, they're both on the road.

 

Stanton strikes out 5 times last night, gets booed, and hits a really hard and long home run in his first at-bat today.

 

The Braves are 4-2 and have scored 55 runs in six games, having just taken two of three from the Nationals. I don't really know what to think about that, other than that it's probably a mirage.
