He finally got his first hit. A 67mph infield single.Steve of phpBB wrote: ↑Fri May 05, 2023 3:20 pm Miguel Amaya, who the Cubs just called up, has a hard-hit percentage of 100% after six at bats. But no hits.
And his one problem is he didn’t go to Russia that night because he had extracurricular activities, and they froze to death.
Re: 2023 MLB Regular Season
Any idea as to why Cano wasn't out there to pitch the in the bot 8 with a one run lead vs the meat of the Braves' order? If Bautista was going to be given a night off considering his shakiness of late so they wanted to pitch Cano in the 9th, then why not have him pitch to the heart of the order in the 8th, and either turn to him again in the 9th, or let a lesser pitcher toss to the backend of their lineup?bfj wrote: ↑Fri May 05, 2023 3:43 pmHe’s leading off tonight.

He went down like a sack of dirt. Stayed in the game for a couple innings in RF, but was replaced when he was due up next. He's day-to-day now. But by the looks of it, that son of a bitch is gonna be hurtin' tomorrow.tennbengal wrote: ↑Thu May 04, 2023 4:54 pmSo took two of three from the mighty royals then.
That was a head-scratching loss, to say the least.

As bad as the AL Central has been the Tigers are inexplicably 9-1 against the NL.

I’ve probably said this before, but ffs, there should be no such thing as a run-scoring balk.

Is this new site essentially just 2 blocks east (and across the interstate and strip) of/from the earlier proposed one?

Their AAA farm team, the Norfolk Tides, are 25-9 and sit atop the International League East Division by 6.5 games. That 25-9 record is best in all of the minor leagues, too.

Re: 2023 MLB Regular Season
So, I was there. Best atmosphere at Camden I’ve seen since 2016.
25,000+ in attendance - I think people locally are starting to realize this is a genuinely interesting and potentially quite good baseball team.
When they swap out Stowers for Cowser…

My oldest was also there. “Best game I’ve ever been to” was the very excited text I received after the game. I was seeing a show at a local music venue, but was monitoring the game the whole time.tennbengal wrote: ↑Fri May 12, 2023 9:40 pm So, I was there. Best atmosphere at Camden I’ve seen since 2016.

Re: 2023 MLB Regular Season
Tyler Wells (leading MLB for starting pitchers in lowest WHIP) goes 7 shutout, Cano and Bautista take it from there and solo HR in first and second from Adley and Gunner Henderson and Orioles get to 26-13 with the 2-0 win.
I am rather enjoying this as Steve Phillips shit on their start mid-week. Fuck you, Steve Phillips, as ever.

Re: 2023 MLB Regular Season
I took my dog out for a walk after Henderson connected on his solo shot in the 2nd. As I got back to the house, I saw a couple of young guys (seriously, 80% of the population in Canton is 30-35) wearing alternate O's jerseys (black). the driver was wearing Rutschman (#35), and when his buddy appeared from around the corner, he was wearing Gunnar Henderson's jersey (#2).tennbengal wrote: ↑Sat May 13, 2023 8:12 pm Tyler Wells (leading MLB for starting pitchers in lowest WHIP) goes 7 shutout, Cano and Bautista take it from there and solo HR in first and second from Adley and Gunner Henderson and Orioles get to 26-13 with the 2-0 win.

I thought about saying something but then realized it was better to just recognize it's cool that the kids in town are wearing O's gear again.

Re: 2023 MLB Regular Season
Mitch Keller pitched as good of a game as I've seen pitchers who've thrown no hitters. Just total control over the K-zone and that slider is just silly.

Re: 2023 MLB Regular Season
Mitch Keller being really good is one of the more surprising things I've seen, and he didn't even have to leave the Pirates to become good!

I went on Monday when they were in Colorado for McClain’s debut. Other than that this team is still incredibly painful to watch. Will Myers popping out with the bases loaded yesterday was completely on brand.

He's getting slammed by Bellinger in "the battle of former RoYs who moved to new teams in the NL Central and look like they're perpetually high".

Yeah, good thing the Cubs only signed Bellinger to a year and haven't extended him, so he can be a free agent again this fall.
And his one problem is he didn’t go to Russia that night because he had extracurricular activities, and they froze to death.

Re: 2023 MLB Regular Season
I have no idea. I'm more bitching about the fact that the Cubs don't appear to be making efforts to extend him. (Which maybe he doesn't want either, to be fair.)

Looks like there’s an official deal for the As to move to Las Vegas. A $1.5B retractable roof stadium with $325M in public funds. More importantly as a Clark County resident only $120M in county funds. (The Raiders got $750M from the county.)

True, but that should be a formality. They (along with the governor’s office) were the ones that negotiated most of the terms.
