GDT: 2024 Regular Season Thread

[BKarchitect]

Bobby Witt Jr with a grand slam to save the Royals butts against the just pathetic White Sox.

And single handedly got two outs in the ninth on the field. Just another elite all-around game. 4-5, 4 RBI, 2 runs, go-ahead GS in the 8th and electric, flawless play at short.

I don’t care how much the national media is starting to write about him this year. It’s not enough. There’s not a more complete player nor a player who carries his team more this year in baseball.

Hader gives up far too many homers.

McCann somehow stayed in the game after this. That's NHL-level toughness right there.

It was the first inning of the first game of a doubleheader, and he caught all 9 innings. They apparently tested/monitored him for concussion symptoms all game long (which he continued to pass.) Manager said post-game that they were pretty sure he had a broken nose.

Never been more embarrassed as a White Sox fan

This is lowest of lows in my fandom. Even after White Flag trade at least we had good prospects to look forward too

Robert Jr. is not in the lineup tonight. Pity party with Crochet?

Now he's listed as back in..

Phils disaster stretch continues, Jazz goes yard and the Yankees suddenly lead.

4th homerun in this series for Jazz.

 

[Halladay]

It's literally everything that can go wrong will go wrong with the Phillies right now . Lucky the Braves have been a .500 team since May 1st.

 

[GKJ]

Jazz Chisholm has jacked 4 dingers in 24 hours

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

Mets will at worst be a half a game behind Atlanta for the top spot in the NL wild card

 

[GKJ]

Phillies and Yankees going extras.

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

There is nothing more Padres than going 7-2 on the road, make 2 big deals to win now...and in your first game back home, you quickly trail 5-0 to the Dodgers without Freeman and Betts.

 

[GKJ]

Yankees win it in 12. Longest game in MLB this season at 3:47

 

[Taro Tsujimoto]

White Sox took a one-hitter into the 8th... and still found a way to lose.

#16 baby!

God, I hate what has become of my beloved Sox

 

[PanniniClaus]

Is Ron Washington not the most ridiculous, cantankerous backwards manager?

They trade Estevez and Garcia... Joyce presumably closes but people know Washington is not going to go with conventional wisdom. But ... But... Joyce goes for the 8th and throws 6 pitches to get out of the inning. So you would think given the workload he would take the 9th? No ... No sir .. Hunter Strickland.. you know.. because he was a failed closer back in the day. How can the Angels carry on with this guy? Strickland sails through but it seems so ridiculous you would not let Joyce take the ball in the 9th.

The Dodgers then proceeded to not score again, blow the lead, and lose in 10.

I want to see a 6 way tie for the wildcard spots in the NL. All 6 teams won last night

Excellent. Excellent.

Before the pitch clock, 3:47 would only get you into the 5th inning of a Yankees-Red Sox game.

Seriously, when I first heard of the pitch clock idea I was against it, but it has been great having games that last 2 and a half hours is so much better, nice to not having them ending so late anymore

 

[BobColesNasalCavity]

Crazy that after the TDL the Marlins are running a $14.7m payroll

Do they even have enough guys to field a team after all those trades?

 

[Filthy Dangles]

Yanks sweep the Phils

Yanks sweep the Phils

Confirmed. Philles are crap.

I've come around big time on the pitch clock. It does help speed up games. I haven't noticed the mound visit rule effect much either.

However I still hate the ghost runner in extras (start it after like the 11th or 12th if you must) and 3 batter minimum.
