Around Baseball 2022

[Solaxys]

Altuve hits a bomb, 2 - 0 Yankees; Yankees still getting no-hit.

[JFD]

King's in shock that he didnt get a ball called a strike

[Solaxys]

And of course, first pitcher out of bullpen? Walks the lead-off hitter in Hicks.

[Dagagad]

You’re like the guy that was pushing crypto shrugging his shoulders lol

 

What happened to those Questrade crypto ads lol? The ones telling me that I’m a dumbass because crypto is just like when they invented the wheel. That ad made me so angry lol.

[connorp]

Mark Appel never pitched in mlb? Thought he had a brief bad stint. Guess not

[connorp]

Definitely got spell corrected trying to type apple different

[JFD]

This ump is on glue

"Ball 1" to Judge.

No-Hitter intact still! Judge fielder's choice!

Astros beating Yankees + Umps

[Dagagad]

Rays losing by one to pirates going into the 9th. Honestly, I’d swap a pirates win for an astros loss. I don’t care about how much the Yankees win the division by.

 

Brujan is really scuffling. Pretty serious prospect too. Not sure if they are concerned about it or not.

[Solaxys]

Yuli RBI-Single, 3 - 0 Astros.

 

Pressley coming out in the bottom of the 9th lol

[Dagagad]

Bednar absolutely melting down vs the rays.

 

Full meltdown. Gave up walkoff to paredes. Very blue jays reliever type outing. Walked two guys including one guy who is MAJORLY scuffling until he gets to the guy who is hitting and then he can groove strikes.

 

f***ing rays always get this kind of luck. Why don’t we run into elite relievers that melt down against us?

[Solaxys]

Yup, that's a win for the Rays.

Os en route to sweeping the White Sox.

Yankees got no-hit!!!!

Astros win 3 - 0!!!

 

Insane, that they could've won the first game too if Pressly didn't wake up to pitch the worst half-inning of his career.

[Dagagad]

Yup, that's a win for the Rays.

Os en route to sweeping the White Sox.

 

The rays are good but they seem to get a ton of late game luck. Bednar walked some guys who are massively scuffling to get to the one hot hitter on the rays there.

 

The rays are super injured but they will win a ton of one run games like this somehow.

Oof... that sucks for many reasons.

[Solaxys]

Sox down 2 - 0 atm to Guardians going into 6th; maybe they take the L.

Winckowski looking decent in this one. Weak contact for days.

jk. Verdugo hits 3-run bomb, 3 - 2 RSox.

[Dagagad]

Sox starting to look very Rays like. Weird relievers out the yazoo and always seem to be in games.

 

I wish our window had of lined up to get their gm.

Sox should take the WC spot 1 today barring no Guardian heroics in the bottom of the 9th.

Thankfully, we have Gaus/Strip/Manoah lined up against them - so maybe, just maybe, we can take 2 if not all 3.

Franco returning to the Rays series just in time for us, fun.

 

I am just as well concerned about Orioles; 4 Game Win streak, 5 games off .500, 6 GB WC - sweeping the WhiteSox

These 16 games coming up against them are not going to be walk in the park for the 'strength of schedule' argument especially when their bullpen is putting up some incredible numbers (2.69 ERA)

 

Even if not this year, next year Os are going to play .500+ ball in AL East.

f*** this division tbh. Every loss hurts.

Our problem is that we have average to good pitching dev and we are in a division with two teams with excellent pitching dev and two teams run by people from orgs with excellent pitching dev.

 

It’s the difference between the consistent winners and the others. We need to get better. A lot better in that area.

Do you have any hair left? lol... no need to stress, Jays are good.

I don’t want to be good. I want to be the astros (possibly minus the cheating).

[Spanky__99]

I don’t want to be good. I want to be the astros (possibly minus the cheating).

 

Yes, we're that good.

[Dagagad]

Yes, we're that good.

 

When we start banging out cheap starting pitching like they do, I’ll believe we are as good as the astros as an org. We might end up being better than them as a team this year, but they will be good for a long time the way they are run.

You do know how they got that way right?

Extremely good analytics and development. I guess. What do you mean?

Several 100 loss seasons, loading up on 1st overalls. Meh... I don't really care mate.

I think all 4 of their homegrown pitchers were international free agents. I see what you mean man, and maybe I’m being a downer here but they’ve sustained success WAY beyond that at this point.I think a lot of that first wave or two are gone at this point.

 

Also, the jays might get there but I expected us to be farther along in this particular area by now. We still could get there tho.
