GDT: 2024 Regular Season Thread

[Marc the Habs Fan]

The Astros win the AL West...again. Congrats to our resident Astros fans.

The Mariners ownership and front office are the main reason why this happened. Wasting incredible starting pitching on the cheap. Joke!

MLB totally screwed the pooch with this. Could've moved one of the games to this past Monday (mutual off day). Could've had a doubleheader yesterday. Could've moved to a neutral site (Marlins, Rays, Rangers, Brewers all on the road right now if they wanted an indoor venue). But now in all likelihood they'll have to play a doubleheader on Monday, then one of the teams (if not both) will have to travel to start their wild card series the next day (with a cross country flight to either LA or SD a possibility).

Only possible saving grace for the Mets is that it might leave the Braves no choice but to use Sale and Fried against the Royals (who are themselves fighting for their playoff lives) this weekend (and with the weather, that series might end up having a doubleheader, too) while the Mets play the Brewers, who might only have seeding to play for.

 

[GKJ]

They’re going to have to end up moving the series.

What a shock the MLB was unprepared for this.

What a shock the MLB was unprepared for this.

If only there was some way to track storms and predict the weather ahead of time, someone needs to work on one of those things

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

It’s not like this forecast track had this storm going right thru Georgia since the weekend or anything.

The absolute least the idiots at Major League Baseball should do now is push back the NL wild card series a day so the Mets/Braves still have a travel day.

I'm alot less nervous being in a 3 game series when the 3 pitchers will be Valdez-Brown-Kikuchi. Just need our offense to be at least average.

really f***s over fantasy baseball too

MLB is such a goddamn shitshow

 

[GKJ]

They are going to have to move the Royals/Braves series. They can’t risk another rain out.

On the other hand, I’m curious about this double header, because my suggestion to the wild card series is that the first 2 games would be a doubleheader, so looking forward to seeing how that works out with two teams I wish to be made to suffer.

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

I think KC/Atlanta will be fine Friday night and beyond rain wise. Of course the Atlanta area could be dealing with damage and or power outages.

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

The troubled Twins are already trailing 3-0. Baldelli will probably lose his job. Meanwhile, the Tigers lead 3-1.

 

[GKJ]

Thanks to some dingers and a Brewers loss, the Phillies have clinched a bye. We’ll see how into getting home field over the Dodgers they are.

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

Much hyped prospect Jackson Jobe, in his MLB debut, gets the last 3 outs as Tigers fans keep riding the wave of euphoria. Royals won too. Twins basically in a do or die situation as they are tied 3-3.

 

[Halladay]

Tigers win!

 

[Halladay]

Judge hit 57. Os only up 2 now in the 9th.

Watching this A's game and just soaking in the moments around the Colusium and I'm getting emotional. This reminds me of the final Coyotes game back in April. F this ownership for what they allowed to happen, and that disgusting letter.

 

[SwordsgoneWild]

Never really paid too much attention but which WC team does the 3rd division winner get in the WC round? The last?

Looks like it will be either KC or Detroit. Hard to say which I would prefer . Detroit is hot and Skubal is crazy good.

Bad ownership indeed, also f*** the MLB for allowing this to happen.

 

[Jive Pawnbroker]

Tigers win again, this time in come from behind fashion by scoring two in the eighth. Their magic number for clinching a playoff spot is now 2.

 

[SJSharksfan39]

I'm a Giants fan who in the last few years really stopped watching the A's, but I'm emotional today. I spent many a birthdays at the Colusium. There are so many memories I have of that place. It's kind of like Candlestick in a way. It was a dump, but it was "OUR" dump. One Man's trash is another man's treasure. I wonder if they are going to play celebration whether or not they win or lose. They should. Today is about celebrating the place and the nostalgia.

Bad ownership indeed, also f*** the MLB for allowing this to happen.

f*** everything about Manfred. I sometimes wonder if he even likes Baseball. It certainly doesn't show.

The Whitesox refuse to lose that 121st game. It’s 7-0. Going to sweep the Angels lmao
