2026 MLB Thread

Now that the MLB has opened the door for playing on Little League fields with the 6 games in Vegas, when do the Brewers start playing in Helfaer a couple times a year?

Maybe they can get another series with the Yankees

MVPete!

Unlike PCA, Miz could never catch a HR ball 50' over his head.

PCA is the best of both worlds for this board. He's a good player for the Cubs fans, but also provides plenty of entertainment for Brewers fans.

I bet Miz could catch a HR ball at his feet, though.

Looks like Edmundo Sosa saw MVPete's fWAR and decided to take a page out of his book.  Wonder how much his fWAR jumped after this incredible defensive effort.

I'm not a Brewers fan, and he provides plenty of entertainment for me, too. I especially enjoy seeing the greatest centerfielder of all time letting flies drop untouched and overrunning four-hoppers hit right at him.

Also, my son is a big-time Cubbie fan and, just a month ago, he was b!tching about how bad MVPete had been since last year's All-Star break.

MVPete is red-hot right now, and it's been impressive. If and when he goes into another long, whiff-filled slump and his team falls out of the race, we'll see how quickly the P-C-A chants turn into boos.

He's a very good player.

Early NL Cy Young race, from The Athletic ...

Prior to the most recent series, I had Sanchez slightly ahead of Miz in the Cy Young Race. The Miz was so dominant on Friday that I now think of him as clearly alone in first place (with obviously a ton of season left to be played).

That's also partially due to Blake ".111 BA" Perkins having a day against Sanchez on Sunday. Perkins being 6/7 in his career with 3 doubles and a homer against the current second or third best pitcher in the NL is just another example of why baseball is so random in the best possible way.

Pretty incredible to have Ohtani sitting on a near 1.00 ERA and sitting in 3rd place (completely justifiably too)

My wife and I went to the Mariners-Orioles game last night. We got to see Cal Raleigh return after nearly a month on the IL and deliver a go-ahead two-run single. Great vibes at the ballpark!

Just watched Jeff Passan's long interview of Tom Glavine, who threw "right?" into every other phrase.

It's become an epidemic these days, right? But this right? was probably the worst right? I've ever heard right?

The Brewers won again.  They may not have HR hitters, but they seem to score a lot of runs.  Chourio also missed time and is capable of thwacking bombs.  They're a cool little team.

A puma or a kangaroo couldn't have gotten that one.

Not surprising, but Priester officially out for the year.

Dodger stadium yesterday was a riot with Ohtani onthe mound  Some Japanese fans, mostly the men, were in elaborate , colorful costumes complete  with white face makeup
ithink they may have been cartoon characters
huge contingent of visitors much more than usual

Tigers pitcher Justin Verlander was scratched from his long-awaited return start with a hamstring injury. "I've always said I want to play until the wheels fall off, and I don't know, maybe they are falling off."

Snakebit team right now.   Inventing new injuries.   See: Perez, Wenceel.

Skenes is 0-5 with a 4.03 ERA in his last 7 starts.
