Well, the Padres suck.

Re: 2023 MLB Regular Season
Kicking around the idea of heading out to SF to catch that O's series at the start of June.
Crap will come up and we'll downshift into some random AAA town in the Ozarks.

If you do come out, let me know and we can get a beer or something.

Re: 2023 MLB Regular Season
Last night, Padres down 4-0 in the 8th. 7th and 8th hitters get on. Melvin asks the 9th batter Azocar to sacrifice.
Reasoning: I wanted my best guys Bogaarts, Soto and Machado up with runners on 2nd and 3rd.
Bogaarts hit a sac fly and Soto struck out. Padres lost 4-1.

Re: 2023 MLB Regular Season
It's a little strange that every single MLB game but one is being played in the daytime on a Wednesday, right? On a day with a full slate of games?
It's...weird.

Re: 2023 MLB Regular Season
A lot of travel days because I think there are a ton of home openers tomorrow.

Re: 2023 MLB Regular Season
Theres a shit load of day games tomorrow too
Hold on, I'm trying to see if Jack London ever gets this fire built or not.
Re: 2023 MLB Regular Season
I was thinking the travel days.
I really think that MLB Should consider having at least one game every weekday have first pitch around 3 pm to 4:30 EST. Just to allow people to fuck off work early as so many people now wfh.

Re: 2023 MLB Regular Season
On the occasions I go to a game, it’s almost always on a Wednesday afternoon. It’s usually getaway day on the last day of a series, so lots of day games on Wednesdays.

Re: 2023 MLB Regular Season
Yeah, I get it, travel days etc. Just beyond weird to seen literally the ENTIRE SLATE of games save 1 set for daytime on a Wednesday.
Re: 2023 MLB Regular Season
Not super unusual for this time of year. They usually don’t schedule ANY night games in northern cities (without domes) until later in April.tennbengal wrote: ↑Wed Apr 05, 2023 11:03 am It's a little strange that every single MLB game but one is being played in the daytime on a Wednesday, right?

Re: 2023 MLB Regular Season
Next someone will try to claim the Pirates played a couple of night games in Boston this week and swept the series!
I felt aswirl with warm secretions.
Re: 2023 MLB Regular Season
O’s do what’s called “business man specials” a few times a year and start games on a weekday at 12:30 pm. BTW, if any local frogs would want to hit up one of these, I’m in. Last time we all went to a game a hellacious El Derecho blew through.
The AA team in Bowie will have occasionally have games at 10 am on getaway days where they have long bus rides.
ETA- 4/13 vs Oakland or 4/26 vs Boston at 1:05 pm are the April matinees.

Re: 2023 MLB Regular Season
I love those. Today was the Astros first one and if I didn’t need to be home to get the youngest off the bus, I would have been there.

Re: 2023 MLB Regular Season
Should have said SOME northern cities but it’s true in Minnesota and Detroit at least.

Re: 2023 MLB Regular Season
I predict the As announce their move to Vegas by the All-Star Break.
Not sure where they’ll build the permanent location (my guess is the current Rio site with some kind of people mover across I-15 on Flamingo) but they’ll temporarily expand Las Vegas Ballpark to accommodate 18,000 for 2024 and 2025 while it’s being built.

Re: 2023 MLB Regular Season
Yeah the owners clearly don’t want to stay in Oakland. Manfred wants them out, too.

Re: 2023 MLB Regular Season
It’s too bad but the market is probably better for one team.

Re: 2023 MLB Regular Season
And I’ll go on record that there are probably better markets than Vegas for MLB (NBA is a different story). Montreal, Portland and Charlotte are probably all better.

Re: 2023 MLB Regular Season
Incredible start by the Rays, 8-0 all wins by at least 4 runs. We were talking about the Tigers 35-5 start in 84, this is heading there.

Re: 2023 MLB Regular Season
That season is my only really great experience as a Tiger fan. Other seasons were OK but it’s different when you win the WS. That Tigers team started 9-0 IIRC.

Re: 2023 MLB Regular Season
Tuesday Craig Counsell becomes the longest manager in Brewers history (1,181).
Fun Facts
* Counsell is the only player to come to bat in the bottom of the ninth inning of a Game 7 with the winning run on base — twice. Both times, he extended a rally and his teams went on to win.
* As a boy, he helped out at old County Stadium, sorting Robin Yount’s fan mail and operating the speed-pitch booth

Re: 2023 MLB Regular Season
I kind of wish I had the ability to tune out the NFL as much as I do MLB when the Tigers suck. Would have made being a Lions fan sooooo much easier.

Re: 2023 MLB Regular Season
I like that he battled and never gave in to try and throw heat by hitters. His off speed stuff disappeared as he got more tired.

And Adley is hitting .395.

Re: 2023 MLB Regular Season
McDonald was touching on it a bit. The fact all the hits he gave up were on 0-2 or 1-2 counts, and the # of hitters he got to those same counts 16 of something like 21? Suggests he's not wild enough in the zone. Don't let the hitter focus in on a section of height in the zone. Like I said, he'll figure it out.

Re: 2023 MLB Regular Season
I was at the Yards. Weird night from him - the first six hits he allowed he had 2 strike counts on the hitters and could not put them away. And he did strike out 6 otherwise. Not sure what the issue was.

Also, since my seats were down the RF line I could not see side to side and don't know if he was getting squeezed or not. Top of the zone was not being given from where I was sitting in any event.
