OT: MLB Thread 2024

[Machinehead]

Legit, how are the Yankees tied for the most wins in baseball?

It feels like they lose 2 out 3 since the end of May.

Mets seems to be back in "we suck" mode. I am more convinced than ever that they're no more than a .500 team. Might be better if they don't get that wild card spot.

Pretty inexcusable to be outplayed 22-1 over 3 games in Seattle. Feast or famine offense and the team wilts almost every time it goes up against quality pitching.

MLB has reached the NHL point of no one really being great, also tons of bad you can beat up on in MLB.

Every team at the top of their division right now has been ass for a prolonged period of time this season.

No team is on pace to break 100 wins.

Just took a quick look but, as of right now, no team is on pace for 100 wins. First time that would happen since 2014 (not including 2020 covid year)

Got what he deserved.

Yanks 1 for 94 so far with runners in scoring position through 4 innings

Great bunt by Verdugo

Can’t believe the De Los Santos trade didn’t work out.

Cashman actually gave a quote that there’s “no lane” for Dominguez this year. So I guess he has no idea they’re trotting out a sub 1 WAR outfielder every day

my guess is they are holding him back for Sept. so he can keep is ROY eligibility for next season

If they won even half of the games they've blown or shouldve won they would be so far ahead of everyone in the league, its so weird - but there have been a few teams like that.

That’s fine given that he’s insanely rusty coming off injury and might not even be fully healthy yet but then why is Cashman even saying that?

Can believe that the Yankees got embarrassed by a historically bad team.

Yankees 3B Jazz Chisholm Jr. likely headed to IL due to UCL injury, might need surgery

Chisholm injured his left elbow while sliding into home plate on Monday.

Soto insane game, hilarious they have no other runs though. Nice to see Nestor have a much needed great start.

Would be a killer to lose Jazz to Tommy John surgery, hopefully it’s not that bad, he’s been great.

I give Stearns a pass for getting bamboozled by July, because he’s new here and not yet familiar with how the Mets Met.

Yankees slugger Juan Soto torches White Sox in first 3-HR game of his career

Juan Soto has hit a lot of home runs in his relatively brief MLB career. But he's never done this.

[sbjnyc]

Judge and Soto have 75 homers combined with 41 games remaining. If they average 1 homer per game they will break mantle/maris record of 115 by teammates.

The Grimace-Pimp-OMG-whatever else bubble of magic that the Mets were living in popped, I think, when Senga tried to run to first base. That was just a huge blow, to the rotation, to the collective psyche, to the group's confidence, that took a while to foment but knew was going to manifest eventually.

It's the second law of themodynamets. It's a statistical tendency for the mets to screw up even if they manage to get it together for short periods.

 

[Bob Richards]

I did enjoy that the Mets gave us a nice run of fun baseball though.

I was beyond jaded at the end of May so it was a welcome surprise.

They've see-sawed all year...going from horrid to torrid back to horrid, etc....there really has been no in between.
