2023 MLB Thread

Lol, nah. You're projecting again. You're the one with the angst. It explains why you post the way you do. It must be exhausting.

For someone that doesn't partake in such things, you sure have a lot to say.  That has to be exhausting, no?

I'm not sure "irony" does this post justice.

I said I don't take part in the bashing of Milwaukee despite the plethora of threads here doing so. I expanded to say the same.about cities, teams, schools.

You just don't like being held accountable.

It's very impressive, for sure, how you avoid the tribalism that permeates this board.  It's a feather in your cap.

And thank you for holding me accountable.  I'll try and avoid the tribalism that you avoid.

Accountability is about incomplete or false narratives and throwing stones when living in glass houses.

We're at this point today because you tried to make a joke about drinking and driving.

Yes, I'm sure. We can go back if you wish.

You have 7,000 posts in 8 years. I have 1,700 in 12 years. This is what you do.

You posted about drunk driving and baseball. I said it wasn't a good thing and I provided baseball examples in the baseball thread.

Then you pivoted to steroids. Again, I didn't defend or condone steroids in baseball.

Brewers swept, Cardinals swept, Pirates swept, Cubs lose 3/4.  The NL Central is stacked.

Absolute train wreck of a series, especially today. INEXCUSUABLE!

Bryant's first dinger in how long?  Sad!

[Silent Verbal]

The difference is, I have zero problem admitting the best Brewers in recent memory have used PEDs.  Braun?  Yup.  Yeli?  Well, is it a coincidence he came to Milwaukee while Braun was still playing, saw his power go off the charts, signed a giant contract, saw Braun retire, and now gets an extra base hit every like 10 games?  Hmm...

The guy did it right.  Use PEDs, see your performance skyrocket, get paid generational money, and then stop using PEDs.  You will still get paid even if you aren't producing.  The only thing that'll stop the checks coming in is if you get caught.  So why risk it?

It's really not a big deal.  If you weren't doing PEDs, chances are you didn't make it to the MLB.  But for some reason people think it was all just the pitching coach that took Jake Arrietta from a journey man to the best pitcher in baseball out of nowhere.

I think Yeli might've been stealing signs.  I agree with your post as a whole, though.

The 2018 Brewers were one of the best sign stealing teams of all-time

Taking away the ability to review video + his injury = player that doesn't deserve his contract.

But 2018 was fun.

Terry Pluto's book "The Curse of Rocky Colavito" tells the tale of Herb Score.  Score took a liner to the face and was never the same pitcher after.  Score insists he was the same but those that watched him swear his mechanics and release were never the same.  Guys can say they're the same after freak injuries but all it takes it one small change in how they play and they're never the same

Brewers need to get Burnes and Woody back and then trade them as quickly as possible.

Cardinals play the Cubs 100 times a year ... and they're surprised that Contreras ain't Yadi now?

As a Cubs fan I'm really enjoying how things are going so far in St. Louis.  Contreras was a big part of the Cubs success from 2016 - 2020 but there was a reason (or reasons) the Cubs made no effort to extend him.

Maybe he should take time off to go watch basketball in another country

Tigers: 2-9 when Baez gets yanked from a game for losing track of outs.

13-9 since.   And Baez has finally started hitting like he has historically.

[Dish]

I forgot that the Cardinals traded both Alcantara & Gallen for Marcell Ozuna. That trade isn't discussed enough for how awful it was.

[PGsHeroes32]

Dylan Cease washed?

Correa may go down as the worst FA signing in MLB history. Guy got the bag and has completely stopped even trying to improve.

Not sure why the Twins are not benching him for like 3 games and sending a message.

2 on 2 outs in the 7th down 2.

Ks on 3 pitches. Now hitting .145 with RISP.

No wonder the Astros didnt miss a beat when he left. Some dudes just dont have the mental make up.
