Around Baseball 2021

[Brownie19]

Pretty nuts. Tony LaRussa publicly shamed him for swinging 3-0 then Mercedes spiralled into ineptitude and depression before getting demoted and retiring, all within like one month, and after having a historic debut month.

 

I just read he's back in the lineup tonight. He must like attention.

Suspend him for being a little girl

Meadows again for the Rays like yesterday

[JFD]

oh look another miracle comeback by the cheatsox

[Spanky__99]

There's been a lot of good games tonight. Me likey.

[Spanky__99]

Actually, aside from that game, sloppy ass s*** game.

[InvincibleTiger]

Lol Yankees bum reliever. Red Sox come from behind to win.

 

I'm so jealous of the Rays and Red Sox resiliency to constantly come from behind.

[Stangstag]

Yankees blow 2 saves in the same game (9th and 10th innings) to hand a win to the Redsox

[Spanky__99]

Hahaha... F U Yankees! Shades of Chatwood.

[Spanky__99]

MLBN reporting one team after Story want him to play CF... let me see, hmmm...the Yankees!

Could be the Redsox? Or Whitesox too...

Roberts and Jimenez will be back soon. Kike's killing it out there, they only need a replacement against Lefties off the top of my head. The Yankees hole is glaring, though. And they have a great system. If it's them, he'll be a Yankee. I'd put money on it.

[Stangstag]

Holy s*** lol, Giants tie the game 3-3 after a bases loaded walk on a check swing that was definitely a swing

 

EDIT: and now a single makes it 5-3 Giants. Feel bad for the Dodgers, they had the 3rd out. Brutal check swing call

[Spanky__99]

OMG!!! This game should be over???? Bwahahahaha...

lol... now a basehit, the Dodgers were robbed. That should be reviewable, lol. I can't believe that... Wow!

[Stangstag]

Absolutely awful call on that check swing. Also Neuse could have stretched more to get that force out on 2nd for the final out.

lol... his bat almost pointed at the pitcher.

[John Balkabella]

Certainly extenuating circumstances, but that’s three blown saves in a row for Jansen.

[Ray]

Okay seriously though, how are the Giants as good as they are. They’re spitting in the face of every projection system ever devised.

[Spanky__99]

Brewers

 

Brew Crew can't flex on the Pinstripes.

So the Cleveland Indians are now the Cleveland Guardians (of the galaxy?)

 

not a big fan initially, maybe it'll grow on me

In 2018, the Indians stopped wearing the contentious Chief Wahoo logo on their jerseys and caps. However, the team continues to sell merchandise bearing the smiling, red-faced caricature that was protested for decades by Native American groups.

 

I know they are going to lose merch sales here in Manitoba. Plenty of these lids here, mostly by Indigenous peeps who don't give a f*** about baseball lol.

Same in the NWT.

I don't like the name. Is there some kind of connection to the city or it's history? Seems like they pulled it out of a hat. Spiders was a nearly unanimous choice amongst Indians fans.

Cleveland Spiders made perfect sense, the Guardians is stupid.

[glory]

Spiders sounds better IMO. Maybe Guardians ending in "dians" played a part in their decision, or maybe they just tried to find a word that wouldn't trigger anyone in the future.
