2021 MLB Regular Season thread

They have one RBI combined. The Braves will be fine.

 

RIBBIES!!

 

Joining Soroka. Where have you gone Mike Foltynei;lgjv;rigu;eirug

 

Foltynewicz has taken his inconsistency to the Rangers these days. (I just checked and surprised myself that I spelled it right.)

Speaking of spelling challenges, Huascar Ynoa has arguably been their best pitcher so far. They still have Morton and Anderson. Maybe they stretch out Newcomb or Tomlin?

Edit: I just read that the Braves called up Kyle Wright to start today's game.

 

Beginning of the end for Sandy Alderson:

Sandy Alderson must go

 

His rant “not every instance of harassment is a firing offense” (paraphrase) was so tone deaf.

Thanks Guy, I was not at my keyboard, but here's the exact quote I read in The Athletic:

In an interview, Alderson criticized some of The Athletic's reporting on the culture within the Mets organization.

“Let me try to make a point as strongly as I can, OK? Not every instance involving men, women in the workplace is a capital offense, OK? Every time something happens, it doesn't mean somebody has to be fired,” said Alderson. “There are a lot of intermediate steps that can be taken and we've done that in a variety of different cases.”​

 

Agreed, but that's not the quote.

 

Nick Punto alert. Where IJAG be at?

 

This didn't last long. I dealt with Tim years ago when he was doing PR for the Angels. He's a good dude.

Understandable. Too bad this is the situation. Tim is one of the best people anybody could ever know.

 

The new baseball will be tweaked by July. Again.

 

I feared he’d get whacked upon the revelation of the sordid details of an Angels PR staffer serving as a drug mule for the pitcher who died. Did he move to Cooperstown?
