GDT: All things Baseball part 2, the one where the White Sox make history!

[HisIceness]

So it took us 7 years to fill up a Baseball thread. Can we do this one in less time?

Don't know, but one thing I do know is the White Sox are kind of very bad.

If you don't like Shohei, you don't like sports.

Needed 1SB and 2HR to be the only 50/50 man in the history of baseball.

Tonight he got 2SB and 3HR (all after the 6th inning!) and TEN RBI.

He is the Japanese Babe Ruth.

Was in Chicago last week and went a Cubs game and a White Sox game. Had more fun at the White Sox game.

He also went six for six in that game. Best game in the history of the Dodgers.

I don't like baseball but I like impressive players like this in any sport so fun to follow along from afar. That said, I f***ing hate the MLB's lack of a salary cap and LA/Ohtani being able to benefit from it.


Also, when will NC get a baseball team (whether triangle or Charlotte)? Then I might start caring a tiny bit more.

I'll always be an Orioles fan, but I'd pull hard for the Carolina Bojanglers.

I mean, MLB is eyeing expansion right now and NC is likely going to be a major contender. Dundon is leading the charge, too.

Personally I'm hoping they promote the Durham Bulls identity to the major leagues. Would be such a shame to lose it. Though I suppose you could also go back down to single-A and return them to their origins if it winds up being the Raleigh Oaks or whatever.

Wheeeee, first time since 2011!!

 

[HisIceness]

120 losses!

 

[HisIceness]

White Sox have been playing good ball since losing 120. I hope they continue this good play into October.

 

[Svechhammer]

In honor of the A's being ripped away from Oakland by a greedy cheap owner who raised payroll only $10m during a 20 year span that saw player salaries triple and inflation double the value of the dollar...



Oakland fans deserved better. They needed their own Tom Dundon to save them

Such a generous franchise the Sox are, losing 121 and gifting the Tigers a playoff berth!

 

[HisIceness]

Mets come back and beat Braves, clinch playoff spot.

Now Braves have to win game 2 of double-header or Arizona gets last playoff spot

That game ended up being pretty crazy by the end.

fun ass last two innings for sure!

 

[Derailed75]

Watching the game a guess I spy hanging out in the Braves dugout? None other than Hanna Yates!

As a Guardians fan I can't believe I am rooting for the Braves but here we are.

 

[HisIceness]

Braves win, are in.
