MLB 2024 Season

[Lennys Tap]

They had a friendly back and forth that didn't call for a response. You decided to question someone's fandom. Which is insane.

And if responding to someone on a message board is "stalking" and "creepy"...well that's insane too.

Unintentionally funny. LOL.

I used to be able to recite the results of every Brewers game from 1982 with stats.

Sew watt happened, dude? Case of da olds, hey?

100%. People who need the guy who just hit a grand slam in a playoff clinching game to do cartwheels around the bases to get excited about it shouldn't be going to baseball games. "Professional" Wrestling would be more to their liking.

Why "professional" in quotes? Aren't professional wrestlers "professionals" . And do they celebrate more than "professional" baseball players?   

[tower912]

Damn Yankees.

There are real wrestlers - high school, college, Olympic - who play a very competitive sport.

And there are "professional" wrestlers - who are actors in who follow a predetermined script - often one that is very much over the top. They do everything dramatic more than baseball players, including but not limited to, celebrating.

Fun ride.  House money.   Philosophical question.   Would you rather have home field or Skubal starting?

May have to do it without Carpenter.   Hamstring.

I am not a stat guy so I don't know if playing at home is an edge. It certainly did not help the Orioles, and the Royals lost both games at home.

I don't think home field matters much anymore in baseball. 

[The Hippie Satan of Hyperbole]

Yeah, outside of the slight advantage of having the final at bat, I don't think it matters much at all.

I think basketball is the one sport it still matters.  I'm not well-versed in hockey to offer an opinion but based on how many lower seeds advance in the playoffs on a yearly basis, I don't think that matters either

[Lennys Tap]

I don't think home field matters much anymore in baseball.

Regular season, given long road trips and a crammed schedule it's a factor.

Playoffs, not so much.

[muwarrior69]

Damn Yankees.

Number 28 would be sweet, but it looks like the Mets are playing great ball right now. If they meet in the WS the Mets won all six against the Yanks this season. The Golden age of NY baseball, 1947-1964, will never be repeated: 1948 and 1959 are the only two seasons a NY team did not make the WS.

Judge who has the highest on base percentage of around .450 in 2024 is still struggling in the playoffs. Baseball in general favors the team in the field.

Agree on the regular season

[wadesworld]

Well....

LOL

Based on that, maybe "wrestler" is the word that should be in quotes. We can all agree that they're professionals; I'm not sure that they're actually wrestlers.

Eff Tim Lawless and his bay flip in '87

Start time for game 5 between Cleveland and Detroit has been changes from 8:08 EDT to 1:08 EDT.   Plan your day accordingly.     I will probably not see a pitch for the second straight game.  Alas.

MLB has really gone out of their way to bury that series.  Well good luck, Tower, though I'll be rooting for Cleveland as they are my son's favorite team.

They had to move it up. Weather.

Plus. Putting it at 7 was gonna have it going against Ohio State/Oregon.

Noon is probably better regardless.

[PGsHeroes32]

Yamamota dealing.

Got a feeling Roberts, is gonna roberts this one.

[SoCalEagle]

Go Dodgers!!!

[HutchwasClutch]

Good riddance to the Padres, especially Tatis and Machado

[tower912]

Carpenter available for pinch hitting.   Probably wouldn't have started against Boyd anyway.

[tower912]

It appears Vogt is going to steal a page from the Tiger playbook and start running relievers out early.
