MLB '24 Regular Season Thread

Ollie Perez vs. Jeff Francis vs. Edwin Jackson…who ya got?

 

Hardly. I’m saying the way the Giants used analytics was bad. But you go to 11 anytime someone dares to criticize their use. Sometimes criticism is warranted. You of all people should know that, you do it enough.

 

Funny thing is, which I learned during a trip to the Bay Area, is if he was a Giant, they probably should have named him Joey Muni Metro. The BART stops right outside the Coliseum. Not so much with Oracle Park.

 

And proud of it, man!

 

Depends on which team he was on.

Gopnik on New York and baseball and the Polo Grounds, among other things.

Excellent.

When New York Made Baseball and Baseball Made New York

 

Ryan McMahon strikes out to end a 13-pitch AB. Eight foul balls in all.

Then Elias Diaz whiffs on three pitches.

 

Is it just me, or do MLB pregame and postgame shows just get dumber and dumber?

 

Cubs getting their money's worth today from Imanaga. Weather helping.

 

Turned on MLB Network around 12 EST and saw a segment called "Cup O' Joe" with Joe Madden; nice concise discussion from Madden's POV about the Hoskins incident ("just hit him on the thigh 1st AB after, don't wait").

 

I can only surmise he wasn't putting enough fannies in the seats.

 

Somebody whose first name I had to look up has caused nothing to happen in Houston through 7.
