MLB 2018 regular season thread

Back when you could judge pitchers based on wins:

 

DeGrom just threw 45 pitches in first inning without giving up a run.

 

And they’re pinch hitting for him in the second inning.

 

Small sample size.

 

Pink uniforms, hats, umpire masks, and everything else look like utter garbage.

Dylan Bundy had a historically bad start Tuesday, allowing four home runs and seven runs without recording an out against the Royals.

Advice: Yikes. Bundy became the first pitcher in major league history to serve up four home runs in a game without getting anyone out. Jorge Soler, Mike Moustakas, Salvador Perez and Alex Gordon took him deep, and Bundy also permitted a couple singles and two walks. He threw "only" 28 pitches in the disastrous outing, as the Royals were swinging early and often and obviously had no trouble squaring the righty up. Bundy got off to an excellent start this season, but the wheels have suddenly fallen off over the last three outings, as he’s allowed 19 runs over nine innings. It wouldn’t be a surprise to see the Orioles at least push back his next start, but if they don’t he’ll get the Rays on Sunday at home. (Rotoworld.com)

MacGregor once asked why sports? Here's another example.

 

2 of those complete games were 12 and 11 innings.

 

For one day, I can live with it.Unlike the NFL.

 

The Angels' two best hitters (Trout and Ohtani) not hitting today.

Ohtani 9ks thru 4.

 

He had a career ERA of 2.91.

 

Spectacular Shohei strikes again!
