They just changed tuck's hit to a single and a 3 base error wtaf

If anything the error was on the play of the line drive which should've been an out so giving him a hit makes no sense at all.

This is actually the most preposterous of the outcomes.

Are we in the clear with Neris on any repercussion from the JRod incident? Honestly with Manfred I have no clue.

the final numbers on Jose Abreu per baseball reference...

-0.1 WAR --- almost got into positive territory at the end, but not quite

OPS .680 -- the lowest of his career by more than 100 points

OPS+ 87

his strangest split:

when batting with the bases empty....OPS of .564
when batting with men on base.........OPS of .812
Series like the Arizona one make it obvious he was hurt for much of the season. All arms and no pop

He probably had as many hard hits in these 3 games as he did the first 2 months combined

Wonder how the time off will affect him in that regard...

A buddy of mine sent me an audio clip of the Mariner broadcasters during the final out yesterday and one of them actually says "Can I be honest? I've never wanted a Mariner pitcher to give up a 2 run home run more in my life."

I'm not sure how to embed the clip and apparently it's on mlb.com but I don't have an account.

What f***ing lunatics. With all the broadcasters who get fired for some pretty tame stuff this is pretty egregious but I'm sure their collection of freak fans were probably thrilled to hear it.

Well the RF made a pretty halfhearted effort but the ball didn't touch his glove so it can't be an error. Can it?

When MLB and the players' union settled the lockout in the spring of 2022, the new collective bargaining agreement allowed teams to sell advertising on their jerseys for the first time. But another little-noted provision also allowed for ads to appear on batting helmets during the postseason.

These would be sold by MLB, not individual teams, so we'll see if they do it this year. They didn't last season.

Predicted Record: 102-60
Team MVP: Kyle Tucker
Team Cy Young: Framber
Rookie of the Year: Yadier Diaz

Surprise Player of the Year: David Hensley

Make 2 or more Positive Predictions:
  • We have our first 40 hr season since 2019. We will have 2 players hit over 40 hrs.
  • We have 3 pitchers win 18 games.

Make 2 or more Negative Predictions:
  • Unc Mike doesn't play 120 games this season. They nurse him through the season.
  • LMC has another set back missing a majority of the season

Yeah you didn't choke, you just lost 3 of 4 games to end the season including being shutout where you couldn't scratch a single run the last 3 innings off minor league pitching.

Pitch clock absolutely improved the game for the majority of fans. I'm just not convinced it belongs in the playoffs.
I don't think you do away with it, but maybe add some time. I think the pitch clock was a HUGE success this year. Agree playoffs should be treated differently, but I don't think you completely get rid of it.

Ags beat Bama
Sips lose to Boomer on a bad call
Astros take game 1

Gooner - ManDhabi match abandoned after both teams are carded below the minimum 7 needed to play.

And now from south Oklahoma:

3 things I just learned whilst perusing the Arlington thread:

1. Houston fans are the scum of the earth, easily the worst fans in the country, maybe in the history of mankind.
2. They really are better off they didn't get the bye because waiting around for 5 days getting your rotation set and playing at home is worse than 3 straight on the road with 1 day off
3. Cal Raleigh stirred up some trouble in Sea Town when calling out mariners management for not adding players like all the fabulous deals the arlingtons did

Will Servais survive the off-season? Seattle had high hopes this season and with all the All-Star Game hype as well. Big let down not making the postseason.
