Not this year no. Cincinatti, Baltimore and Pittsburgh are still coming up this season though to add to atlanta, texas and seattle's unveilings. 20 teams so far in total (including those ones) have the city connect stuff out.

 

I'm confused why all teams wouldn't be unveiling a jersey. From what I seen for the Jays it just has TBA.

Yeah the original announcment back in 2021 said all 30 teams would be expceted to have a City Connect jersey by the end of 2023. Not sure why there is such a staggered roll out or why certain teams went first

Padres have been huge underachievers and playing like s***.

Dodgers have been mediocre. They're not the same powerhouse in the NL West as they were in previous seasons. Dbacks are my pick to win the division.

I'm happy to see the Pirates off to a good start, though doubt it lasts.

Cardinals need to turn it around before they dig themselves too far of a hole. The Brewers and Cubs in the NL Central are for real IMO.

 

Fun to see the AL West competitive between four teams. Hope the Angels and Rangers can remain in it all season.

AL Central sucks. White Sox, Tigers, and Royals will be easy teams to beat up on.

AL East is a powerhouse. I don't think Boston finishes above .500, but would be something if all 5 teams finished above .500.

 

If they did it probably be with a huge failure rate vs AL East teams.

Love the balance schedule!

Oakland with a -113 run differential geez.

 

I've been betting teams against them run line, and have been pretty successful most of the time haha.

Lol

 

 

I think that's a dirty move. I get that you shouldn't trust an opponent and he should have confirmed with the umpire or his own coach, but that guy is an *******. Show some sportsmanship and have some morals. It's a regular season game in April.

Yeah definitely a bush league play. He’s a rookie too which makes it worse IMO

The lettering is based on the Seattle Pilots' font:

It even looks funny on that jersey. Ball Four by Jim Bouton is one of my favourite books, but I haven't seen much of the jersey.

 

The Vancouver Canadians play in Sicks Stadium where the Pilots played. It was moved to Vancouver after they left and renamed Nat Bailey Stadium.

I completely disagree. You have no reason to leave that base until you know you have to. You check with the umpire before you leave. I was taught that in little league. Its all fair game with your opponent.

I have no problem with this. No different than a catcher trying to get under the skin of a batter.

Don't trust anything your opponent says or does

Its unsportsmanlike. Probably get a fastball in the ribs for that back in the day.

Maybe. But winning always trumps being nice.

Its gamesmanship. An out is an out. You’re not trying to help out the other team. You can be nice and friendly when the game is over.

 

Someone really deserves to be drilled in the ribs because you asked the other team what happened lol.

Its really not its competitors competing. You want to win you will take any advantage you can get.

 

My advice to the base runner develop a better game sense. You got umpires and coaches, and an entire dugout of teammates to help you out. The opposing team isn’t your friend. Don’t expect them to do you any favors.

The bullpen ain't looking too bad right now.

 

 

 

Swanson in particular really seems to have found his command.

 

Yeah he’s downright nasty at times. Pop seems like he’s found some swing and miss. Yimi has looked pretty decent despite the s*** people give him. And Pearson could be a weapon if he finds his command.

Oops, meant to post that in the Blue Jays general thread.

 

 

 

 

The pen faced the minimum 12 batters in their 4 innings with 8 strikeouts. Dominant.

Second time in three starts he's pulled early. It's always something. I don't think he's capable of starting games over a full season.
