MLB '24 Regular Season Thread

Find yourself something as hopeless as the New York Mets.

 

Being a New York Mets fan?

 

They put in a lot of work verifying the numbers before doing this. I've already had people of color pushing back against his, saying it seems dubious at best, but these guys played a lot more games than are showing up in the official numbers. Their statistics from the barnstorming tours were left out.

 

This is the first time I got to see four guys hitting on the Orioles' home-run hydration station simultaneously. Striking visual.

 

They are the cure all. Dodgers lose five games in a row? No problem, go to New York and sweep a doubleheader then put up double digits the next day.

 

Any mention of Hunter Wendelstedt will make me recall him ejecting Aaron Boone for something a fan said.

 

My Dad saw the exhibition game in DC at the old Griffith Stadium between barnstorming major league stars (nobody made any money in baseball in the '30s) and a Negro League All-Star team. Dizzy Dean vs. Satchel Paige, won by the Negro League team in the 12th 1-0. Always sounded like a pretty good game to me, but of course no official stats. At least both sides got a payday. Stands, BTW, were segregated.

 

City Connects?

 

Let's see how the postgame meeting went for the Mets holy fucking shit

 

Interesting to see certain MLB teams claim for themselves the achievements of certain Negro Leagues players who didn't live long enough to see integration.

 

And now DFA’d. Strong career move (not said sarcastically).
