Around Baseball 2023

First 2 pitches were called strikes, then he fouled off the rest and hit a dinger on the 12th pitch of the AB.

 

Green ones are balls, mate. Should’ve been out #9 for sure. Borderline #3

[G-Snarls]

Seems like some weird scheduling today. Every team has played already except the Jays-Royals. I don't think I've ever seen that before.

On getaway day a lot, plus teams having their home opener.

Meant to say he fouled off the rest of the strikes. Typo

Olli marmol doesn’t seem like the smartest guy

 

O'Neill stepped on the bag as it was picked up by Acuna in shallow RF, terrible manager. He said all that s*** before seeing tape, an idiot, he forced himself to save face and hurt the team.

Wednesday Night Baseball on ESPN

It's honestly pretty shocking to me that a team like the Yankees is starting Franchy Cordero in 2023. Like yeah Harrison Bader is injured, but that's your best internal option to fill in the outfield for you?

 

They always seem to be able to pull good BP arms out of their ass, but if I cared about their fortunes, I feel like I'd be concerned about their depth everywhere else.

Also seems unnecessary to blast your players publicly. If you’re gonna bench them you can do it quietly without having to tell the media. Tell the player he’s benched, tell the media he’s tired and needs a day off.

I just watched highlights of the Red Sox/Pirates game, and boy are the Red Sox really bad.

Yeah, that's what I mean before seeing tape, that call was on the 3rd base coach.

Man, I'm so glad we have replay now.

 

There was a time when a call that obviously f***ing bad would have just stood with no recourse...

Yeah except for some dumb f***ing reason you still can’t call a replay on foul balls that bounce over the bag.

 

Replay is great but they need to make it available for everything, not just some calls.

He wasn't even watching the ball

I haven't seen all home openers, just Mariners and Tigers (today) and they both brought out 4 sports icons (not specific to baseball) to throw 4 opening ceremony pitches.

 

Is that a new thing now? If so, who's TOR bringing out?

[G-Snarls]

So happy for him!!!

Shows what you know, a Canadian actually won one of the shot put events at the 1996 Paralympics.

Was the 5th place guy a Canadian as well? He's the one we want.

Did anyone get MLB TV this season?

 

They never renewed my subscription which is weird, but was contemplating anyways whether to get it or not again this season.

Of course

 

Was yours renewed automatically? I recall previous seasons I always was renewed but not this season.
