Around Baseball 2023

[Terminator]

FTJ is going through a Springer like slump the past few weeks, just terrible.

 

Can you use normal names when referring to players? I had to take the unnecessary step of googling FTJ (which resulted nothing of note) and then FTJ baseball before I figured out who you were talking about.

Can we make playoffs considering the Mariners are on fire?

 

No. Pack it in and tank for next year

[Brownie19]

Ohtani is now in the Top 6 in the triple crown stats for BOTH hitting and pitching. Insanity.

[John_Havok]

Yep and it starts way before pitchers enter pro ball

 

Kids, whose arms are still developing, are pitching way more than they used to. Instead of taking breaks from pitching and playing other sports to give their arms a break, they keep pitching nearly year round. They’re also throwing breaking balls way younger.

 

Kids arms are being broken before they ever get to college, then tortured even more by college coaches. Pitch counts in the majors are just the last line of defense.

Think he's having one of the best ever MLB seasons in history? Definitely has to be up there IMO.

absolutely I do.

[jaysblue]

absolutely I do.

 

Who else would come close in baseball history? Off the top of my head Barry Bond's 2001, 2002 and 2004 seasons were the best I witnessed in my lifetime, but just with the bat and defensively.

 

Babe Ruth did pitch earlier in his career with the Red Sox but stopped pitching with the Yankees. He never really had both an MVP and Cy Young type season in the same year as we're witnessing with Ohtani.

Glad he’s still on the Angels!

Freddie Freeman is gonna steal 20 bags lol

[Ehjays]

 

I think he is being told to say this to turn down the heat on the Os ownership

Knob-gobbler

[Laika]

Yeah there is a gun to his head

[Ehjays]

yeah more like "You tweet this or you are done".

 

I found it funny that he says all good in birdland meanwhile he is still suspended.

[Ehjays]

[G-Snarls]

 

Didn't he JUST come back from a long IL stint??

[Ehjays]

Yep, I think he threw 4 or 5 innings in one start and back to IL he goes. Unfortunately, it couldnt happen to a better team.

[Spanky__99]

 

They're done. Yikes.

[BCZ]

Bellinger back on whatever drug he was on before... my guess is Adderall.

[Jimcanuck]

Waino gonna hang them up tonight?

 

Not the way he wanted it to end

[BTS]

It's just sad at this point. I can't see how anyone benefits from him starting another game.

[Spanky__99]

Cal Raleigh 2 run bomb... Welp.

[Jonn]

Cal Raleigh 2 run bomb... Welp.

 

Mariners get good pitching and timely hitting at the right time of season.

 

Meanwhile the Jays got their heads firmly stuck up their ass and pissing away the post season.

I don't understand why he even came back this year. Last year would have been a perfect way to end it. This year has been a disaster.

Stay away from bridges tonight, Jonn.

Gibson got his tits lit... looking like the M's will pull within a half a game back.

[BTS]

Amed Rosario is hitting cleanup for the Dodgers tonight

[BTS]

Baltimore is going to win 95+ games and go into the playoffs with a #2 starter with an ERA pushing 5. Absolutely embarrassing.

[L54]

Cal Raleigh 2 run bomb... Welp.

 

Raleigh is clutch

[BTS]

Raleigh is clutch

 

Big Dumper rakes when the game is on the line
