MLB 2024 Season

[MU82]

Young up-and-comer Louie Aparicio is available!

[Biggie Clausen]

Since the season could not possibly get worse, the Sox should just hire Ozzie as the interim for the last two months.  In the spirit of Bill Veeck (or "Veeek" as Jon Schriffen would say) it'd be a move made to sell tickets and get headlines.

[Jockey]

LaRussa is still available.

I hear that he is a hall-of-fame baseball person. He's not up to snuff on some of the written rules, but he is the only person on earth who knows ALL of the unwritten ones (except for maybe 50,000 Cardinal fans.

And he does stay awake in the dugout most  of the time.

[Biggie Clausen]

I don't know if I can share the story publicly, but I have a pretty good Jon Schriffin story that I'd love to share that I witnessed in person back in June in Detroit.

If it involves him looking like a boob, I'd love to hear it.

[Jockey]

This Chourio kid ain't too bad.

[4everwarriors]

Rookie of the Year, aina?

[BM1090]

Rookie of the Year, aina?

Nope. But he's awesome.

[4everwarriors]

Well then, peddle his ass, hey?

[MUBurrow]

Well then, peddle his ass, hey?

This made me lol.

Whoa! Hold on with the snarkiness. The Chicago White Sox are playing for keeps now..... they also fired the Assistant Hitting Coach.

If that doesn't demonstrate the commitment to becoming the next great franchise in all of sports, I don't know what does. 

And equally as important, they are switching from Coke to Pepsi. This is some serious $h!t.

I hear Cash considerations is progressing quickly through the minors though

JR's favorite player. Almost as loved by JR as "<blank> to pick up a potion of the salary".

Matt Wallner last year on a division winning playoff team: .877 OPS and a 139 OPS+ in 254 PA

This year: Starts the year with a 2/25. Not good. But bizarre 2 week sample size for a guy with the above track record

Rots in minors for 3 months. *slugs .800 with 12 homers in June alone*

Gets called up when Austin Martin(cant hit the ball 10 feet) get hurt.

Matt Wallner entered todays game with a OPS+ of 189 which includes the 25 Abs that got him demoted. He hit a 3 run bomb to beat the Guardians.

Moral of the story, Twins are fu cking stacked even ignoring the injuries. If they paid less attention to the Kyle farmers and Manuel Margots. And just let the talent do what they do.

Brew Crew really helping the run differential the last few days.

[lawdog77]

Dumb and random question. Why does the total bases stat not inclued walks and HBP?

Total Bases is strictly a hitting stat - the number of bases a batter gets through their hits. Similar to batting Average.

OBP includes walks and HBP.

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

It's August 11th and the Brewers have a 10 run lead for best run differential in the National League. If you tell me you predicted that before the season started, you're a liar.

It's August 11th and the Brewers have a 10 run lead for best run differential in the National League. If you tell me you predicted that before the season started, you're a liar.

But the bigger surprise to me is their pitching. Lost their best starter and best reliever. Nobodies like Tobias Myers and stiffs like Colin area have been fantastic.

But offense is what makes a team fun to watch. And yes, it was unexpected - especially with 5 first or second year players starting.

[tower912]

It is one game.  But welcome back, Kerry Carpenter.  11 weeks out.  Two dingers in his first game back. Now get Riley Greene back.    Maybe the anticipated offense finally shows up.

He's nice

They gotta let him face lefties and see if he can figure them out.

[PGsHeroes32]

Juan Soto is having a massive game and season

Being overshadowed by Judge. But man, what a year.

[Jockey]

Sizemore already making Grifol look smarter.

[WhiteTrash]

Sizemore already making Grifol look smarter.

It must be in the water at 35th and Shields.

If you think walking Soto makes sense (I can understand that), then why not walk Judge also? Two IBB in a row is not so crazy that it would never be done. I think some teams walked Bonds with the bases loaded. 

[PGsHeroes32]

If manfred is truly even considering this 6 inning pitcher rule, he should immediately be impeached

And not dramatic, whoever came up with the idea should literally be lit on fire. Scary there's this kind of stupid out there.

[tower912]

Agreed.




Proposed exceptions:  100 pitches, 4 runs, injury requiring a stint on the DL.
