MLB '24 Regular Season Thread

In NY, for both stadiums, you can almost get cheap tickets, especially GameDay. In Pittsburgh they are $40+. Are they regularly selling out? Sounds like an odd business model. It's like this with the devils in nj too, which is why I rarely go to hockey games.

Hmm.

 

You see why Bryce and Philly are a match made in heaven.

 

No fair! And they never booed Santa, either! Ask them!

 

I’ve never seen this in 50+ years of watching baseball on TV. The Dodgers-Reds game went into a rain delay and on SportsNet LA Joe Davis said “instead of going to an episode of Backstage Dodgers that you’ve already seen we will stay here and be back with any updates.” So it’s just a shot of the stadium, tarp and fans with music from the PA system.

 

Looks bad for Acuna.

 

They probably have no one at HQ available to switch broadcasts.

 

That’s my thought. The game was moved to 9 am local from the planned later start so they probably weren’t fully staffed.

 

And miss fascinating programming like this?

 

Bradish goes out for the seventh with nothing happening. 80 pitches.

Garrett Crochet might have looked better than him until Rutschman took him over the wall in the top of the sixth for a 2-0 lead. Crochet left after six with 11 Ks, and was absolutely nasty.

 

Bradish through seven ... but 103 pitches. Brandon Hyde won't let him go much further, especially considering the scare back in April.

EDIT: Yeah, he's done. He's taking the accolades in the dugout.
