Running 2017 MLB regular season thread

The NL needs to go ahead and adopt the DH already, so you don't have farces like Schwarber playing left field and Freeman playing third base.

 

Fuck that. I'm an Indians fan. He was terrifying every time he stepped into the batter's box in that series.

 

Conversely, the AL needs to ditch the DH so more people are coming through minors who can actually play the field ...

 

I'd be fine with that too. What I hate is the two leagues having different rules. It's really unfair when it comes to free agency, because no NL team is going to have a chance at signing a David Ortiz or Victor Martinez.

 

Did Manky buy all that Marlins swag for naught?

I'd like to see an overhead closeup of the batters box after the 3rd inning to show the massive orgy of loogy and dirt and chaw and seed shells and other stuff.

 

This Jason Jackson kid plays a nice centerfield for the team in Cleveland.

 

Seven-inning Jake!

 

Thank God that Chicago has the White Sox again this year.

 

Cool trivia: Curtis Granderson hit lead-off home runs two days in a row in LA. They came at almost the exact time, 7:11.09 and 7:11.11.

 

Joe Davis called out Angel Hernandez for his crappy umpiring on the Dodgers broadcast. Granderson got called out on a pitch low and away and Davis said "Curtis Granderson got Angel Hernandezed"
