I couldn't care less if they doctor the baseballs, but as long as the rules generate funny scenes like that I'm all for it. Joe Niekro throwing the nail file was an all time great moment.
Phillie legend Matt Moore pitching for the Angels in the 10th inning against the Yankees. It ended just as you'd think it would.
with the a's off to vegas and tampa closer to a new stadium, expansion is revving up. theyre going to add 2 teams.
nashville seems in really good position. utah, charlotte, portland in the mix. then theres vancouver and montreal.
id anticipate a switch to 4 divisions of 4 in each league when this happens. would bet against an east/west alignment, i think they keep AL/NL however antiquated and meaningless it is.
I was in St Pete this week for a conference. The hotel was a few blocks from that hulking piece of concrete shtein of a stadium the Rays have. It's worse than I remembered. What a shame that such a good team is resigned to play in such a shteinhole.
The irony is St Petersburg is now incredibly beautiful. Total transformation since the last time I visited.
This is a hell of a way for a guy to lose a perfect game. Another former Phil - Drew Smyly.

Because regardless of what the Phillies do there's always "Uncle Steve" and his historic payroll getting their asses beat
Mets down 5-2 in the 9th and the Rays BP imploded

Cards are blistering the ball lately
Fun game.
Losing 2-0 to up 9-2 to up 9-8 and now up 16-8
Braves have lost back to back to Oakland
Baseball is something else
Braves traveling party probably bigger than actual announced attendance at Oakland Mausolem.
san diego is the first team to essentially be dropped by their RSN, so mlb took over the games.
this is a preview of where the distribution model could be going...if you have cable its a different channel# but otherwise the presentation is unchanged. if you dont have cable, the games are paywalled but accessible.
this is the type of balance teams need to strike, though id advocate for putting at least some games on broadcast tv. the appletv/mls thing is a disaster, paywalls kill sports.

That's one demoralizing loss there.

The Houston-Cleveland game was something. Cleveland won in the 14th after coming back in the 9th, 12th and 13th innings.
Amazing day of baseball! 9 one run games!
Moniak looks like he's starting to put it together a bit. He's 3/4 with a HR tonight and is almost at .300.
On another note Manfred's comments on Oakland today were farging tone deaf and just shows how zesty he is. I know commissioners have to cap for owners and all but settle down, little man.
The Braves offense is something else. They're all crushing it.
Go away.
chase anderson! i cant believe someone is still employing him
Just goes to show how zesty pitching is as a whole league wide. Guys who have no biz being major league pitchers are out there serving up slop daily.
The Reds are on a nice little run. Love seeing them sweep the Astros.
They could end up running away with the NL Central
its just unfathomable to me that the astros, reds, marlins, braves, orioles and mariners can do tear down/rebuilds in the same vicinity as the phillies and come out with stars and true building blocks while the phillies came out with rhys hoskins and aaron nola
the reds are a minor league franchise and they are overloading on ML ready talent
Well yeah - how long have the Phillies neglected international scouting when compared to other teams? And how long did they not really improve their scouting department? Forever.
i saw jhaliyn ortiz play today...he was in the same signing period as tatis, vlady jr and soto. hes back in AA and incredibly fat.
the phillies
Stop fat shaming.
The Marlins are crushing it lately too.
They should fade once their schedule gets harder though. Hopefully.
MLB continues to be a joke.
Zero reason for Jankowski's throw to get Andrus should've been overturned. Gimme a break with the clear lane shtein. Dude was a dead man walking.

its a completely insane call, the runner was an inch away from being safe and has a clear lane. the only good thing is the rangers are a maga fest team with horrible toxic fans so womp womp

The f'ing Reds! So loveable but now that dick face is back in the lineup, gonna be tough.
Man there's a lot of bad baseball going on
Twins hit about as well as the Phillies do. Just whiff after whiff.
Of the 51 outs in that game 24 of them were strikeouts.
angels put a 13 spot on the rockies in the 3rd inning...chase anderson lit up. what a world

A reminder how farging dumb the blackout rules are
No Astros game on to compete with and I still cannot see the Rangers on mlb.tv
it has nothing to do with competition, the rangers are for some reason allowed to claim the entire republic of texas and some of the neighboring states as their territory which means you have to watch them on local rsn (which isnt possible).
its a scam!
also lol mets
Whatever the reason it's dumb.
Mets are gonna have to be sellers aren't they?
the reason is unchecked greed...i.e. the state motto of texas
the mets have some moveable pieces like scherz and maybe even verlander, not sure if uncle steve has the hubris to just call it. the worse it gets, the more desperate hes gonna be for ohtani
I wonder if he cans Buck?
Yankees
Mets
Dodgers
The bidding war for Ohtani is going to prob reach $700m
Braves good lord
Six runs on five homers
The launch angle dgaf about contact hitting has to change.
Giants and Blue Jays have struck out 19 times through 5 innings
Up to 27k's between the two through 8.
And Toronto has five doubles and is 1-12 with RISP and has zero runs
Them and the Rangers bats have died all at once
Final K Tally in the Jays and Giants?
30 of the 54 outs were strikeouts.
Ugly baseball
The College WS was crazy.
Game 1: 4-3 (11 innings) LSU wins.
Game 2: 22-4 UF wins.
Game 3: 18-4 LSU wins series.
How is that even possible? I even watched a couple of innings of Game 2 just because a team scoring 22 runs is pretty unusual, but then LSU comes back after that epic asswhooping and drops 18 on the Gators?
It's a beautiful thing.
You wanna crown their asses?! Crown them!

White Sox and Blue Jays
Offensive to the eyes. Just a hot mess. 0-0 in the 11th. Jays are back to striking out like crazy.
Funny game...give straight singles by Toronto all of them dribblers and they've put up four runs
Moniak looks like he's turning into a good player
Too bad the Angels are such trash. Shohei, sayonara, get the farg out of Anaheim as fast as you can.
It's a shame Trout has been buried there. But he had to take that money they offered simply bc he cannot stay healthy.
And I cannot fathom what Ohtani would fetch via trade. That's complicated bc if you're the acquiring team you aren't emptying your system out for him if you cannot sign him long term. And what's that price tag - $700m?! So the Angels likely will get maybe half of what they should get for a player like that.
Combined no no by Detroit.
The Blue Jays are so up and down. Vlad at one point, down two, swung 3-0 at a ball by his forehead and it ended in a lazy fly ball.
Hinch took his started out after 6.1 and 91 pitches. Lame.

you want a farce, check out the angels
they arent even going to trade ohtani. all theyre gonna get for him is a farging comp pick
No doubt. That's what I was saying yesterday. They're farged.
They should trade Trout and Ohtani. Just blow it up.
Bring the Rally Monkey back and get gimmicky.
Blue Jays getting worked again by the Tigers. At least they have a couple hits today though. Working on getting shutout for 18 innings by them.
A's and Royals also putting together something today. Throw in the Rangers regression too. The bad teams are beating up on the "good" teams.
Home run derby, getting hit by a city bus is less painful.

If he can learn to hit lefties (currently 1 for 15 on the year), this could end up being a steal for the Angels.
Agreed. I've been watching them quite a bit and you're right.

There are some bad contracts out there but that Kris Bryant deal is pretty awful.
He's stunk or been hurt his two seasons there and there are still five years after this.
He's not even tradeable.
he got jobbed by the cubs...called up 2 years later than he shouldve and he was broken by the time he hit free agency. rockies were the only team that gave him a bag.
i just dont get why MLB players dont hold out. he shouldve in the middle of his cubs deal. ohtani shouldnt be playing on his deal right now. hes worth 3-5x what hes getting paid

He was looking at mad messi money before all this. Listening to Dan Patrick this morning and Jeff Passan from mother ship was a guest. He thinks, and obviusly, now that price will drop a lot of teams will be in the mix. Just don't go to the Mess or Atlanta, those fan bases already unbearable enough.
Yeah I was listening to Steve Phillips on MLB radio and he said that teams will bid on him as a hitter only and that the pitching will be an add on type deal.

Woof. Orioles.
It's criminal that Minnesota doesn't have the TC logo on their hats all the time. These look like bootleg Marlins lids.
Also hate the Astros fat ass ad patch.
Dodgers are woofing their way to a sweep.
Maybe the DBacks will go cold while they wait for the Phillies?
Side note that god damn ballpark in Arizona is a house of horrors for the Phillies.
But the Phils would come out of this if them and the DBacks pull it off with HFA.
Doyers up 2-0 or the series is tied at 1-1, Chase Feild is 90% Dodgers Blue. Cheaper to fly to Phoenix, stay at a descent hotel and by a cheap playoff ticket than to attend a game at Chavez Ravine with Mary Hart.
Dodger fans are past suicide watch, now it's all fire Roberts, get rid of a lot of these players, GM is an analytic tool, etc. Dbacks Nation may finally actually dominate that park on Wednesday for first time since 2001.
I have to think that they fire Roberts if they, or now when, they drop this series.
But then again the nerds in the front office haven't exactly built a pitching staff worth a shtein.
I'm sure they're going all in on Shohei. Even though they need a lot more than him (as you said J, a new starting pitching staff - Urias the habitual lush/abuser, Buhelr is broken, Kershaw out to the pasture, and a lot of ???), Dodgers are run by a financial group. They know with merchandiding and the Japanese population watchng every game, they will win alone overseas. ROI will be off the charts in Japan. Just keep him away from the Mess in Flushing and the Bronx.
I'm sick of the Astros. Go away.

Dying to see if Dodger Blue takes over Chase Field but is it really going to matter?
Thanks for nothing, Twins.
So how about the Doyers completely choking?
Pretty amazing.
Zona is hot.
Rangers and DBacks have dreary awful stadiums
i dont know if the dodgers are choking rather they ran out of pitching and their big bats have gone cold for a random 3 game sample size. baseball is such a random and silly sport that quite literally any result can happen over a short period of time.
this is why and i guess only i love the idea of a larger sample-size postseason
Betts has been cold for awhile but for he and Freddie to go 1-21 these three games was shocking.
And WTF Dave Roberts? Lance Lynn was toasted after the second home run, get him the hell out of there.

It's a shame they'll lose bc if they could've eeekd this series out they're very beatable. Other than Alvarez none of them are hitting.

he dropped off over the summer. suffered some kind of injury and has been pitching through it. still had a decent run in the 2H, he threw a no hitter and helped me get to the fantasy chip.
but close!
Close...as in he hasn't been zesty?
he had a sub-4 ERA in aug/sept. was sub-3 the first 3 months of the year. terrible in july. so not horrible but not as good as he generally is.
like i said, hes been pitching injured. not as his best + hot team + team that knows him super well = ball go boom
Maybe he quit doctoring the ball?
Astros came out fighting tonight. Not too surprising bc Scherzer was pitching for the first time in a month.
And now the Rangers have put a couple runs up.
Damn Taveras went up and over to rob Yordan of a HR.
Rangers have flipped the momentum
Adolis Garcia is the mayor of Houston. He's ripping their hearts out of their asses.
Seeing J6 loving, election denying Mattress Mack have so much $$ on the line and being miserable has been nice so far
im sure he loves watching your POS team take a giant dump on the field
Idgaf what he enjoys bc he's a crumb bum Trumper
Hope the Rangers celebrate so much they're too hungover to hit this weekend.
Garcia is on another planet right now
Ted Cruz attended 5 Astros playoff games. They went 0-5.
He also gave props to Dallas for the Rangers winning.
I need someone to hold me! About to go ask my neighbor for a hug. UPS truck just drove by maybe I'll ask him
This is a Turner we booed, correct? He's back. He has been completely disgusting the last two nights.
Holy shtein that stat put it all in perspective:
Game 2 RISP 5 for 7
Rest of series: 7 for 43!(.163) 14K
I see that clown Sewald got got by Seager
Good

Great costume there
Good!
Game 1 of the Rangers-Diamondbacks World Series was the least-watched ever.
The series opener drew 9.17 million viewers across FOX — less than the pandemic series in 2020.
Pfaat getting ripped.
Imagine that.
Scherzer left early and so did Adolis - back injuries
I can't imagine watching or thinking about another second of baseball until next year. Even clicking this thread was a mistake, and I regret it.
I haven't watched one second of it. I see clips and news when scrolling FB and Twitter.
I have watched glimpses of it but I bet NIU/Central Michigan and Buffalo/Toledo have better ratings tonight.
Reports out that the Padres had to take a $50m short term loan out in Sept to cover cash flow issues, including payroll.
That's what's in.
No TV contract! MLB.com subsidized their asses. Bally Boo!
i smell financial tomfoolery
they sold a ton of tickets and still got enough of the tv money, of which they knew thered be issues. theres no way the money people were scrambling in september to make rank. this is some kind of game or whatever, i dont know money talk. but them motherfargers is fine.
The only bit of this series I've watched as the 9th inning.
Beat it DBacks.
spencer howard is going to get a ring
what a world we live in
Travis Jankowski too
I was at soccer training and quickly turned on YouTube TV and saw Jankowski at the plate top 9th up 3-0. My last impression of 2023 WS. Total WTF moment!
farg you Kimbrel, Topper, KTurner, Kerkering and his fat papa, Castellanos, Rojas. Just go farg yourselves.
I didn't see a single second of that series. Judging by what I've read about viewership, my complete indifference was shared by most Americans.
And I'm not even salty about the Phils not playing in it either. Just don't give a shtein about pro sports other than when Philly teams are involved anymore.
I was totally salty. Still am. It'll hang with me for awhile.
Cubs have paid Counsell 5/40M to be their manager - helluva way for David Ross to find out he gone.
Carlos Mendoza named Mets manager (Boone's Yanks bench coach)
Stephen Vogt is the Guardians new manager
Ohtani to the Dodgers
No real shock. At least it wasn't the Mets or Yankees I guess
10 years $700 million
Sheesh
$70M/yr is more than the entire payroll of some teams. It's a joke but whatever.
Go money!
I say he doesn't finish season.
its only going to be like $50m a year, i think? a lot is deferred, hes going to be getting paid when we're all dead
betts-ohtani-freeman is comical, but in the micro manageable with a good lefty reliever. watch them fail again in the nlds. but shtein they are gonna win 120 games.
Wait a farkin minute
Ohtani is only taking a $2m yearly salary and has deferred $68-70m per year until like 2030-2045?
i think $46m is counting against the CBT, which is still a lot, but just not quite $70m
So homie is making $70M a year but only pocketing $2M?
hes pocketing $2 per year over the course of the contract, then the rest after bobby bonilla style
hes going to make over $50m per year in endorsements and already has plenty so the specificities of his baseball paychecks arent exactly relevant to his life
I read up on this and it's actually brilliant on his part. His "salary" in California will only be taxed at that rate. When the deferred income starts, he can live in a place with zero state taxes or even in a country without income taxes.
Yamamoto reportedly to the Dodgers for $300m
if this dude is getting that, wait until you see what sasaki gets
my hope is the phils kicked the tires here to set the japanese table for HIM
they can attract middle american maga meatheads with the best of them but phillies are not getting a progressive first world asian anytime soon

Orioles looking to make up for the ravens
not sure any team has had a better 5 year non championship run in sports history
built the best prospect pool in the history of the sport
won a hundred games while a bunch of the kids were still in diapers and a bunch still in the minors
went from one of the cheapest owners in sports to a local billionaire oriole fan owner so they can keep them all
i dont know if theyre going to keep them all, but theyre certainly going to keep more than the 0 they were under angelos
the got burns for like their 4th best SS, a relief pitcher and a 2nd round pick. crazy
their o/u for titles in the next ten years is 3 which is more than the phillies have won in 140
there are 2 things you cant be rational about
1. philly teams who your mental illness under inflates
2. dmv teams who your mental illness over inflates
"gotta love that Dan Quinn hire"
Havas
I could win with jayden daniels...right this second hes already at least twice as good as hurts...really doesnt matter who the HC is and its a good thing they got a very good defensive mind because hes the DC and not much more
Montgomery signed with the dbacks.thats a great starting rotation
if they can throw gallen-monty-pfaff-erod vs the phillies, the phillies may not win a game
bums can't win in Phoenix even if I pitched against them blindfolded. Now that can't even beat AZ at home. Less' Go!!!

Do tell
Backstory to the rant on Hoskins?
did not have havas hating on the most likable phillie in a decade on my 2024 bingo card, but here we are

The backstory goes back 40-some odd years.

hes annoying as farg in general but it def started with that stupid ass wave to the dugout after getting a hit thing he started...he just really needs a hard throat punch or two...hes the nerdy loud mouth who thinks hes cute and funny but gets chin checked and you never hear from him again
lol never change sir
Btw he was the one who started the wave?
yes...you think anyone else would come up with something that corny?
Stott, Turner, Bohm...all possible
fair
Todd's boi Manfred continues to shtein on fans.
Add in the debacle with the A's and what are we doing here

Im confused...why do you need to watch a game at the same game?
They play the TVs in club sections and around the stadium.
I don't wander during games. Especially with pitch clock.
But that's not the point here. It's the fact that it's blacked out at the damn stadium
thats probably a human error thing...whoever is supposed to put the game on is accessing the channel on the wrong package. but its fun to have fake internet outrage!
manfred is just a useless suit like any other commish. he let john fisher, an idiot, do whatever he wants and this is what hes doing. so did roger, so does silver and did you know the arizona coyotes are playing in a 4500 seat college arena.

The nba throws owners out tho
the nba threw out an owner for being a white supremacist, not because he was a vanglorious POS
Braves offense is unfair
