OT: MLB Thread 2024

[Crease]

Trout has been one of the most irrelevant great players of all time.

I keep forgetting Trout is in the league.

I wouldn't be surprised if he gets innings with the Mets by seasons end. He's been dominant in AA. Will be their #1 prospect at the end of the season and I'd anticipate fighting for a spot in spring.

If Soto doesn't accept an deal from Cashman this summer, it's a failure, TBH

Granted, there is a limit, but like...Soto is freaking great and should be signed it any deal TBH

I'm probably wrong, but I vaguely recall seeing (either somewhere here or in some article) that Soto has a connection with someone on the Mets' staff....is that true?

Another grand slam for JDM!

Another grand slam for JDM!

And another blown lead by the bullpen.

The White Sox have lost 20 games in a row.

They are 27-87 and can break the Mets all time loss record lol.

Japanese advertisers in Anaheim's ballpark got f***ed over with the Angels not reupping Ohtani lol

[RangerBlues]

Just dont pitch to Soto or Judge and your winning percentage increases by 99%

I've never seen another team from this era with so little power.

If you told me they played in 1966, I would believe you.

 

[RangerBlues]

Let the whitepox be a loser franchise. It will guarantee them nothing.

Volpe not hitting every ball into the dirt since the ASG is a huge upgrade to the lineup.

Agreed. (Off topic, he hit .209 last season) He's up to .261 now.

Cole scratched again..I guess he's still having "body fatigue"

Cole pitched 3 days ago. I think Nestor would’ve been starting on normal rest today but they decided to go with the Make a wish spot start

 

[mrmovies779]

I can't ever remember any Yankees team being this brutal at home.They couldn't beat the White Sox in a series..it's pathetic

P.s The Cinderella ride is over for Cortes

Line looks bad but he looked good to me. Stuff was electric. He looked terrific through 2, and then allowed 6 runs in the third--including 4 with 2 outs. Then he pitched a solid fourth to close it out. Obviously not how you'd script it but nothing concerning. Tough league to pitch in, too.

Nestor is no longer fooling anybody and he does not have good enough of any pitch to dominate.

He's not getting called up to the Bigs this year and the MILB season is over in like four weeks. More experience and prep is good.

Letting Cole get an out, and then taking him out with no one base is the most normal Aaron Boone blow up moment in his face.

 

[17futurecap]

I wonder if by pitch 50, Boone would have realized Clay maybe didn’t have it?

 

[Irishguy42]

Watching the last out, and it totally looked like Gleyber was about to fumble it and trip, causing the tying run to score.

And would I be shocked? No. Would it be the first time Gleyber has fumbled an easy out like that? No.

A wins a win, but....yikes. Most normal save of Clay's career.

 

[majordomo]

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.
