OT: MLB Thread 2024

[Bob Richards]

Aaron Judge is an absurd baseball player.

But I always get a kick out of the stat pulls where some guy having an ridiculous month stretch is always the highest in (insert stat categories) since Barry Bonds who averaged that over a several year span lmao.

Stupid he’s not in the Hall.

Anything is better than Kay

agreed. Judge should be in the Hall already.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Stupid he’s not in the Hall.

Yup.

The argument to keep him out died the second Ortiz was elected in

Yankees teeing off on KC again

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

The 2-3-4 hitters of the Yankees have are now out homering 6 teams in the league.

Brutal loss.Rizzo and Holmes cannot allow that infield single..that HAS to be an out.Another thing is why they didn't have DJ protecting the 3rd base line?Just a bad loss all the way around.Defense stunk the last 2 innings

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Clay Holmes will go through periods where he locks down everything.

Still a guy who doesn't miss enough bats for me. The bullpen is an easy area of focus for the FO but I'd look for someone else to close out games.

Clay Holmes is the worst best closer in baseball.

If I'm Cashman I'm trying to do a package deal with the White Sox for Crochet AND Kopech. Needless to say Dominguez is off the table in any deal, which is complicated by the fact that they just lost Pereira for the season with some unknown malady....he was placed on the Scranton full season IL today.

Nice 5-1 homestand for the Mets. This is a nice plot twist from the team usually sucking as soon as the calendar switches to June.

Luckily the majority of baseball is average and if they can manage to get back to .500 they're right in it with just about every non Phillies/Dodgers/Brewers/Braves team in the NL.

 

[LeetchisGod]

Absolutely brutal from the Yankees with bases loaded and no outs. Been seeing this bullshit in the playoffs for years.

Why does it seem like Torres is always part of that bullshit?

 

[CTTribe73]

The Yankees are starting to give off a very strong fraudulent smell. I smell a collapse coming these next two-three weeks.

He's another Sanchez. Tons of talent but lacks the work ethic and proper mentality. They can't get rid of him soon enough for me.

The order is hot garbage after Judge. Stanton is still a terrible hitter despite the home runs. Dominguez needs to be in the lineup by the playoffs. He can't seem to stay healthy though.

Good starting pitching, half the lineup sucks, and too many holes in the bullpen.

This is every season since 2018 on loop.

It's wild to me that the Yankees got this 28 year old with a 1.0 WAR off the scrapheap in 2021 and went "this is our closer for the next several years."

The Mets have taken the Grimace pill.

The World Series is happening as long as that purple abomination is around.

That's what happens when you take both pills.

Grimace reversed the hex Timmy Trumpet put on the team in 2022.

Mets up 7-0 after 3. Nothing stops this train.

 

[80shockeywasbuns]

DJLM is an unprecedented level of washed at the dish

 

[rangers1314]

Ben Rice reminds me so much of Greg Bird

 

[LeetchisGod]

We need to buzz one of their guys after that.

Just heard Willie Mays passed
