GDT: 2024 Regular Season Thread

[Unholy Diver]

Who has pitchers to trade for Jazz Chisholm and Luis Arraez?

Do they want the pitchers to be healthy, or should they already be out for the season to save the Marlins the trouble of filing the IL transactions?

They should be already hurt so they’re closer to coming back

Orioles do the right thing, Jackson Holliday back to AAA.

Just 2 more seasons left at <checks notes> 38 M a season.

Woof.

Ross Atkins needs to be held accountable for the Jays putrid offense. Not that the pitching was good today, but “internal” growth as an off-season strategy is looking like a comedic failure.

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

I am all for bashing Atkins, but if Vladdy and Bo are going to hit like bench players, it really doesn't matter in the end. The foundation the house was built on sucks right now.

I'm at the Orioles game and they are playing Kool and the gang celebration

big troll as this is the Oakland win song

This month couldn't end soon enough for the Blue Jays.
Just completely getting torched by the Dodgers.

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

Holy **** a 2 game winning streak for the White Sox as they beat the Rays again.

This may be the season the Rays don't defy the odds.

 

[GKJ]

Ranger Suarez has a 30-inning scoreless streak.

doubt they were doing it to troll. you'd have to be really, really desperate to be trolling the A's at this point

It's astonishing the Braves have the best (or 2nd best?) record in the MLB. Some of their main hitters, Acuna, Reilly, and Olson have been garbage in the batter's box so far. Couldn't hit a beachball. It's nice that good pitching (even without Strider) and Ozuna and Arcia have helped bail them out, but I don't see that sustaining.

Trolling the A's is kind of the equivalent of going to the prom with your blow-up doll.



I mean, I heard that's the equivalent.

Acuna is not hitting like an MVP, but he's a leadoff hitter with a .390 OBP, so there's that.

The real key is that they have no weaknesses. Riley is hitting the worst with an 88 OPS+.

Wouldn't you play Viva Las Vegas or something if you wanted to troll?

 

[PanthersPens62]

Not even a 7-0 lead is safe for the "new and improved Marlins". And Skip can feel free to leave any time he likes since he is 176% checked out of this shit show. Yeah, its not his fault but he is doing nothing to help the situation either.

Olson batting .212. That's brutal.

103 OPS+ - exactly league-average OBP and slightly above-average SLG.. That's below-average for a first baseman and well below his standard. It's also only 25 games.

Well, yeah. It's only 25 games...the point is that the team is very lucky to have others picking up the slack.

Top of their rotation out for the year and some of their best hitters stink right now. I'm sure they'll turn it around, but it's amazing they have that good of a record.

 

[SwordsgoneWild]

If we could only play the Rockies 19 times a year.... Sigh. That was the most fun I've had all season....Now back to reality. Gotta keep climbing out of this fine hole that we've hilariously dug ourselves.It was nice to actually come through with RISP for once.

7-21 Rockies @ 6-24 Marlins in front of a crowd of maybe 43 people. Messi might be there, maybe not. This is where legends are made.
