2022 MLB Thread

It's no surprise that the Dodgers are leading in attendance as Dodger stadium can seat about 55,000. The Yanks, even though they have performed poorly the last two months to my amazement, always draw well. The stadium is not an easy commute by car, parking is a premium and taking the subway these days is not so safe; yet Yankee fans always feel their team will play in the post season and winning the the WS is never out of the question despite the 13 year drought. Looks like #28 can actually happen this year. We shall see.

"The subway is still undeniably safe — most of the time. According to police statistics, the same number of deaths had been recorded by this time last year. Major felony crime on buses and subways represents just 2 percent of overall city crime, the same level as before the pandemic"

The Yankees are super banged up. Hopefully the Brewers can take advantage.

taking the subway these days is not so safe;

Riding the D train or the 4 to Yankee Stadium surrounded by a car full of baseball fans, is about as safe as it gets.

Rocco Baldelli is going to go down is the worst manager in MLB history

Yet another Twins starter cruising(Ober been ramping up in his rehab starts and was said to not be on a limit) and gets pulled after 5.

This is 1 day after our bullpen had to pitch 5 innings last night.

He goes to Fulmer/Thielbar/Jax/Duran. All of whom pitched last night. With Duran throwing like 20 pitches.

Keep in mind even if this works and they win. We play a doubleheader tomorrow with Cleveland and also Sunday and Monday

The guy is world class stupid. Clevelands starter goes 2 more innings even though he allowed 3 more runs. Been a trend all year and hasnt worked..........all year.

Do you think the worst manager in MLB history will be back next season, or is there a big drive to dump him?

Oh hes gone. 100%.

Even though hes Falvey and Lavine puppet, they are also going to face the heat to prove their hype. No chance Rocco stays.

His contract also isnt something to let you take the cheap route and keep him either. Hes not locked in long term.

Will Judge break Maris' record? The way he is hitting I think so.

[Shaka Shart]

I don't get why people are pitching to Judge. Seems like every game he's getting hanging curves or sliders that he rightfully pounds.

[PGsHeroes32]

Hes a lock to break it.

Im more curious where he ends up. If he can get to 65+

[MU82]

Will Judge break Maris' record?

Maybe by Wednesday.

He only hits the easy HRs?

Really, only going with the most serious crime to make a point? Well, murders are down...from 3 to 2. Other than that...

Rates are up from the past two years when there were far less riders due to COVID. Rates are still significantly lower than they were in the 80s, 90s and 00s and lower than the 2010s as well.

Anyways, hope the Brewers can keep wining games and keep things interesting.

Would not cite the Post to report on any kind of serious survey. They can't even link to the survey that they are talking about. In any event there were a lot less folks ring the trains during the pandemic year 2021 than now so it stands to reason that there will be increased crime.
The Post is good for a few laughs but don't take it seriously.

The Post is good for a few laughs but don't take it seriously.

Most famous Post headline ever:

[shoothoops]

The Subway is safe. And it is most certainly safe to and from a ball game. I can't remember a time over many years when I haven't felt safe riding it. It can get a little quiet in certain areas during odd hours and locations. That's about it. Safe from rats? Can't help you with that.

If it makes one feel any better all 6,455 Subway Cars will be getting 2 security cameras each. ($6 million)

60 for Judge.

Count me in the camp that finds it absolutely comical MLB is allowing the possibility he goes for 62(or even 61) on Appletv Friday.

60 for Judge.

So do we assume that Judge is "clean," and that he is about to become the all-time, non-roided HR king?

I do.

[MUBurrow]

If any power hitter is, its him right?  He's an absolute monster.

[MU82]

I do.

I want to believe it too, Lenny.

Judge is on the precipice of having a 65+ HR season, possibly as part of a Triple Crown performance, as well as being the unquestioned leader of a division winner. It's really one of the most remarkable offensive seasons in history. Truly uncharted territory. I sure hope he doesn't make fans like you and me regret being awed by those accomplishments with revelations that surface down the line.
