MLB '24 Regular Season Thread

FRANCIS SCOTT OFF-KEY!!!!!

 

I enjoyed the new format ... and thought Witt's last ball was gone. Great show.

 

DP Show said Michael Buffer was paid $50,000-$75,000 for his appearance last night. I’d rather listen to that anthem again than have to listen to that buffoon.

His rumble is more dated now than Berman’s back, back, back.

 

I enjoyed the format and the Derby last night, and having it come down the last swing and a ball off the wall was outstanding. But really enjoyed every interview with Teoscar Hernandez. He seemed very happy to be there and was really easy to root for,

 

I remember reading an interview he gave 20+ years ago, and he said he charged $10K an appearance back then. He said fans would come up to him asking him to do the line and he said he tells them he’s happy to do so if they pay him $10K.

 

Not sure if this is baseball or politics, so I’ll post it in both.

 

John Kruk or Theo Von?

 

I don't have a big problem with any of those rankings. Although I imagine that if you disliked the Phillies, you would want to throw something through the TV screen if exposed to the Krukster's fanboi shtick.

 

They're seven games off the last Wild Card. That's gonna be a bit of a lift, but if they can play well enough after the break to get to maybe 84 wins (37-28), I think you could say it was a positive season whether that's a playoff spot or not. Heck, I'd be happy to land at .500.
