MLB '24 Regular Season Thread

Mets lose to snap a five-game winning streak heading into the break. But I get to have a rooting interest for a while longer, which seemed impossible six weeks ago.

They won’t, and shouldn’t, do much at the deadline. Try to get a bullpen arm or two. But don’t give too much up. It has always been about next year. Playoffs and any postseason success would be a fun bonus this year.

Senga looks like he’ll be back soon. Rotation is pretty good. They can hit. Bullpen blows. But who knows?

And I really want people to love the Jose Iglesias story. Went 4 for 4 today. Hitting .380 with a .999 OPS. And is phenomenal and entertaining in the field. Won’t last but fun now.

I now await @BYH 2: Electric Boogaloo to destroy my good mood.

 

Oh God, they’re having Rob Manfred walk through saloon doors to announce picks.

 

So Saint Anthony of Hackensack, who is Indistinguishable from Gunnar or Witt, commits an error that keeps the game going? And Alex Verdugo, who reveled in the HBP of Gunnar last month, misjudges a fly ball that costs the sanctified Yankees?
Say it ain’t Soto.

 

Chris Sale got the win today

Go Beavs!!! I hope his walk-up music is "Down Under"

A's get a Yahtzee and still don't have a celebration ritual for the dugout? No belt? No chuggerator?

 

I get to tell my five-year old that the Guardians big star will sound like he is on “Bluey.”

 

“Devil Inside” by INXS might also work.

 

I'd love to see he and Kwan start a game together. That would be something.

 

Clearly I was autocorrected from Snell.

 

I've worked for the local wood-bat summer collegiate team since 2011. Travis is our second alum to go 1/1; Adley was 1/1 in 2019. We'll have two alums (Kwan, Adley) in the AL starting lineup on Tuesday and another (Travis Anderson) on the AL team. And another alum was called up earlier this month (Brooks Lee).

If there's a team near you, go to a game. It's fun and you really do see the stars of tomorrow.

 

Oh, my, tonight's Anthem singer is ... unfortunate.

 

That was fucking HORRENDOUS. I'd like to see the MAGA types get worked up over someone butchering that in an idiotic all-star uniform instead of their usual nonsense.
