2025 MLB running thread

3 things.
1. Giants just walk it off against SEA
2. Mariners RF just made one of the most incredible catches against the wall/net you'll ever see and broke/tore something in his arm in the process.
3. #9 for the Giants. His name is Mike Yastrzemski. Quit calling him Yas.
He is not Yas. I know that's his grandpa. Yas was Yas. Mike is not.

IDK, it's perfectly reasonable to expect he was called "Yas" or "Yaz" by his friends and teammates while he was growing up or on every team he's ever played on. It's a pretty natural nickname if that's your last name.

I speak only to what his grandpa has been spelled here in New England since like 1960.

Yes, I was addressing the nickname part.

Revenge of the 1/1s?
Small sample size but Casey Mize beat the Yankees and is 2-0, giving up one run in 11 2/3 innings. Spencer Torkelson has had a great start too and the Tigers have won 6 of 7 since getting swept by the Dodgers

Sometimes guys take longer to develop. Saw Torkelson play a lot in the Pac-12, he could rake, but you never knew how much playing in Arizona inflated his numbers. Glad to see him succeeding.

One of the best hitters I saw in the last 10 years was Andrew Vaughn, at Cal. He hit EVERYTHING. I'm surprised he's not doing better with the White Sox.

The Giants opened the season at Cincinnati and tonight play the Reds in the first of three in San Francisco. And that's it between the Giants and Reds fir the season.

Friend of mine really wanted the Tigers to take Vaughn but they picked behind the White Sox that year. They "settled" for Riley Greene. When Tork, who has a homer and a double today, is hitting like this he's a lot like Vaughn

According to reports I've seen, Dotel was crushed to death when a nightclub roof collapsed during a concert in the Dominican Republic. Nelson Cruz's sister was also a victim.

 

[mpcincal]

I read Dotel was actually rescued from the rubble. I'll go back and check. Same story said there were other major leaguers there.

EDIT: Apparently, he was alive when pulled from the rubble, but was pronounced dead at the hospital. And, yes, Nelson Cruz's sister, as Maumann posted, was another casualty.
