2019 MLB Regular Season running thread

According to Forbes, 4 of the least valuable teams are the Rays (30th), A's (26th), Brewers (25th), and Twins (22nd).

 

Tough talk from a guy who runs a team that lost 225 games for the last two years. The guy who runs the worst RSN and who is intentionally breaching g the contract with the Nats until his shithole of a father dies and they can sell the team. Tougher still from the guy who signed Chris Davis

 

No, that’s what happens to Florida Gators fans.

 

Pete Alonso breaks the rookie home run record with his 53rd. I know the baseball is juiced, but still impressive. And really seems to "get it."

Now, will the Mets screw him up or will he suffer some awful injury?

 

He’ll suffer an awful injury and then the Mets will screw up his rehab.

 

They waited 108 years for a World Series title but three years without another was too long to wait (missing playoffs was kicker)

Hurdle's out, too. Huntington to stay GM, for some reason.

 

I am absolutely losing it watching the Giants' post-game ceremony for Bochy.

 

Watching the feed from Facebook to get caught back up. Saw Panda's tribute and it got dusty. After all Boch did for him and how he came back with tail between his legs, that thank you was special.

 

Seeing those names come out - I'm still astounded the Giants won three series.

 

Rangers had Vladimir Guerrero, who spent one season in Texas, on hand today to say an emotional goodbye to their 20-year-old stadium. Yeesh. What a joke.

 

I think it is a true testament to Bochy that he got the best out of a large amount of bit players to win three titles. He had a core of pitching and understood how to use the pen, the rest of it was getting career effort out of some of these guys. Pence and Scuttero in 2012, Cody Ross, Edgar Renteria and Juan Uribe in 2010, Ishikawa and Gregor Blanco in 2014. Of course, having Tim Lincecum, Matt Cain and Mad Bum in 2010, Bum in 12 with Zito and finally Bum with Vogelsong in 2014.
