2024 MLB Thread - Permitted to Talk Baseball Now That Mother's Day is Over

If we get swept by the A’s I’m self imposing a season ban on myself in here

 

look at this bullpen effort from Oakland. The backend is incredible

 

This is Miler before tonight's 3-batter 3-strikeout performance

 

Miller doing that against his hometown team while we are stuck with fat ass bednar just isn’t right

 

they aren’t even bad anymore

 

Fine, you convinced me the deal is off

 

Have you seen Jose Abrue this year? It’s like the bat is a shovel.

 

Never left. Just a bit less frequent than we would prefer.

 

I’ll be honest, I didn’t know a negative FIP was possible

 

I’m surprised you even knew what FIP is

 

that’s how you know it’s a fake stat

 

In an ending befitting two elite teams, there was a HBP with the bases loaded to bring it to 5-4, and the winning run required De La Cruz to plow over the catcher and scramble to tag home.

 

Occasionally Twitter is a hilarious place

 

I really expected Bee Guy to throw a perfect strike

Very cool of the Dbacks to lean into the moment

 

He’s my early nominee for sportsperson of the year

 

Tough to watch

 

Greene has already had TJ once though, so maybe that’s why he’s gotten by so far

 

I feel like there’s a place Ohtani could play but idk

 

Yeah, the newly remodeled Yaamava Casino!

 

Tommy Pham revenge tour

 

We all need to thank fucktx for talking me out of this!

 

thank you fucktx

 

if they get swept by the white sox or marlins though you might have to reconsider

 

They're calling Jurickson Profar "we have Juan Soto at home", folks

 

POV: you lost a series to the Padres

 

that shit would make even Jamie Moyer blush.

 

Buxton couldn’t let trout get all the news. Limped off in the second with some leg/knee issue.

 

Perhaps the best way to avoid getting shut out by the leagues lowest payroll is to not be 29th

 

Mets just got boned hard.

 

Clearly out. Great call

 

Tbh I think he blocked the plate and he was still safe lol

 

The most blatant plate blocking violation in MLB history

“Catchers can legally stand in fair territory in front of the plate without possession of the ball. But they can be called for a violation if they don't have the ball and set up in foul territory, straddle the foul line or home plate, or have a foot on the plate or the foul line”

 

That is correct. Atrocious call

 

I mean he had a foot planted on the plate the entire time and dropped a knee prior to getting the ball. And his hand still got to the plate.

 

This year I have seen several reviews of plays that clearly should've been overturned but inexplicably were not

 

Couldn’t

 

What's the point of rules if they refuse to enforce them lol

 

He’s so awesome, I wish we still had him

 

Really makes you think

 

That's been a thing the last couple years. The umpire crew in NY on replay duty are afraid to overrule their colleagues
