Those guys should have had interpreters...or just been better at baseball. The irony of the league shoving betting down your throats at every opportunity and then having issue with these guys betting on games they were not playing in (and with all but Marcano in a league they weren't part of).

It's a new forum and almost a new year. Not directing at anyone in particular, but can everyone at least attempt to turn over a new leaf and stop with the constant bickering? We are all too old for th

Flaherty and Profar would both be good signings. High upside and no QO attached. They'd be my targets. But Pivetta and Tony Taters (Santander) are almost underrated at this point. The QOs suck bu

I feel that's literally giving a GM no credit, where credit is due. He doesn't just print contracts for people to sign who want to play here.   I think there's a lot of reasons players choose not to

I went to Camden Yards to see a game back in 2017 or 2018 with a group of guys. Loved the park - it was incredible, but I remember thinking how sad it was that the place was almost empty. I was recently thinking about how much more fun it would be to go watch the O's play now, given they're coming off a 100+ win season and on pace for another this year. I just saw a stat they still only average 25K fans, which is 56% of capacity. It is up 26% from last year, but still rather grim. Hopefully the shithole that is Baltimore starts to support their new dynasty and fills that gorgeous ballpark.

 

It sad that Pittsburgh's attendance is also s***, but more justified by a cheap owner and middling team. The dome is still on average 83% full these days (albeit that is dropping).

Camden Yards is definitely a gem nestled in a pile of s***. Top 5 park in the MLB easily

I'm still waiting for the day Mark Cuban buys the Buccos, I hope for everyone's sake.

The league said Marcano bet more than $150,000 on baseball, with $87,319 of that on MLB-related wagers. Most of his MLB bets were parlays, and he won only 4.3% of them.

 

Bet365 or BetMGM definitely want his business and aren't complaining.

 

If he won big, he would have been booted off.

Just reading a Yahoo article on guilty plea of Ohtani’s interpreter. About 75% aren’t buying it. I’m wondering if that’s indicative of a larger sample size

Baltimore had great attendance in the 90s. In their up-cycle from 2012-2016 they averaged something between 2.2 million and 2.4.

 

They started at about 1.3 million at the bottom of their cycle, and I wouldn't be surprised if they finish at 2.2 to 2.7 million this year being in a crazy 110 win division title race with the legendary NY Yankees.

 

Probably will end up being a 2.5-3 million a year attendance team for many years.

 

The market is not as good as the Jays market but unfortunately the Jays market is very picky. Jays could easilly be under 1.5 million in 2026.

 

Jays have the potential to be the 3rd best market after Yankees and Dodgers and that is why Shapiro should be send down to live in a van by the river.

 

Instead they will make him commissioner.

 

The only solution is the next GM has to be either Canadian or young enough they still need to make their mark. They need to care more than the disfunctional malcontents on this message board and Shapiro does not.

Tehran would need to be added to the 40-man. And his AAA numbers were not good. I think he is just emergency depth. It's Cade Povich's turn to pitch Thursday. Much more likely to see him if Bradish is pushed back another day.

Where are all the people that last year were saying the Yankees were in trouble and would be hard pressed to be a contender anytime soon?

 

Yes those people existed even though it was clear all they really needed was a good left-handed bat and maybe a little more pitching depth.

 

Anybody going to raise their hand on that one?

Rodon has won his 6th straight start and is 8-2 with a 3.08 ERA with 71 K's across 73 innings. FIP is still quite high however and was at 0.6 fWAR before tonights start.

He’s pitching fine but his Ks are down big time compared to those 2 years where he was elite. Getting lucky with his BABIP and LOB%.

5 teams within 3 games of the final wc sport, Yankees beat the twins

 

Incredible. With the Legends once again playing like legends, the 105 win Baltimore Orioles may end up 10 games out and basically in the same situation as the 83 win negative run differential winner of WC3 (hopefully our Blue Jays).

Yeah having a decent bounce-back season but nowhere close to looking elite like he was in San Francisco.
