OT: 2025 MLB Thread

  • We sincerely apologize for the extended downtime. Our hosting provider, XenForo Cloud, encountered a major issue with their backup system, which unfortunately resulted in the loss of some critical data from the past year.

    What This Means for You:

    • If you created an account after March 2024, it no longer exists. You will need to sign up again to access the forum.
    • If you registered before March 2024 but changed your email, username, or password in the past year, those changes were lost. You’ll need to update your account details manually once you're logged in.
    • Threads and posts created within the last year have been restored.

    Our team is working with Xenforo Cloud to recover data using backups, sitemaps, and other available resources. We know this is frustrating, and we deeply regret the impact on our community. We are taking steps with Xenforo Cloud to ensure this never happens again. This is work in progress. Thank you for your patience and support as we work through this.

    In the meantime, feel free to join our Discord Server

It took many years, but I finally was able to sneak away from work for a 1pm opening day game. Buddy offered me a free ticket although with the unspoken expectation that I buy him beer. Four beers later (plus two more after the game) and he probably came ahead in that transaction.

The group behind us had an interesting ongoing side game. Prior to an at bat, somebody can claim "I have a good feeling about this" and if the player hits a home run they have a communal pot that would be used to purchase a jersey of that player. If the player doesn't hit a homer, the person contributes $5 to the pot. One of the guys did this for Gavin Sheets who proceeded to hit a game tying pinch hit homer.
