2021 MLB Regular Season thread

Tigers-Astros tonight already rained out and rescheduled as a split DH tomorrow; heavy rain forecast for the next nine days.

 

If I were scheduled to play the Astros, I’d postpone every chance the weather could plausibly allow.

 

Three homers fir Tatis tonight. And it's only the fourth inning.

 

Did I read where the Diamondbacks have now lost 24 consecutive road games? Hello, 1962 Mets and 2003 Tigers. You've got competition.

 

They started the season with a 9-8 road record and have lost 24 straight since. It doesn’t help when your only relief in the division are the Rockies.

 

The Orioles just ended a 20-game road losing streak last night. And neither they nor the D’backs have the worst road records in their respective leagues.

 

Thank God for the Rockies

 

Casey Mize shut them down in the opener
But Mize will be shut down himself soon
He pitched 32 innings last season
88 so far this season
Back in 1971 Mickey Lolich pitched 376 fucking innings
Never got hurt
True freak of nature

 

Last road win was Bumgarner's not-no-hitter. Karma? A little, maybe, but that is one bad ballclub in the desert.

 

Ummmm ...

 

Mike Maddux. Harvey Haddix. Steve Sax.

 

Yeah but he had a run in with the law
