2020 MLB thread

There's a Manscaped ad on the left field wall at Petco.  You stay classy, San Diego!

Sorry for whatever sexual partner you may have in your life (other than your hand) that you're not comfortable enough to manscape.

Setting the table for your boy, who is the early MVP favorite.

Tingler’s just happy he doesn’t have to answer questions about sitting him against lefties for another week or two.

127’ from HP is where Chapman plays, that’s literally home to 2nd. 

[Pato del Muerto 52485]

Oakland has a ring central ad and a bud light seltzer ad printed on the field down the 3b and 1b lines. First advertising on the field of play in mlb?

[clapclapclap 9000]

Angels could use Marquise Goodwin.

[ss13 1832]

Jason Castro goes yack in top 9 to tie it in Oak.

Oakland v LAA is the first time we get a look at this extra inning rule

Edited July 25, 2020 by youdunnf'dup

[Guadaloopy 10960]

Here we go with the new rule.  

[Blotto 23488]

WTF....this rule snuck up on me. Not sure I care for it. 

Edited July 25, 2020 by Blotto

[clapclapclap 9000]

I hope this stupid rule goes Aggy-LSU

[Guadaloopy 10960]

And the first runner in 2nd promptly commits a TOOTBLAN. 

[ss13 1832]

That was pretty goddamn awful, Shohei.

I feel like it was a subtle way of the baseball gods telling us this rule is fucking stupid.

[youdunnf'dup 2147]

Seems like the home team should bunt the runner over 99 times out of 100 in this extra inning situation. Unless you have 2-3-4 hole up, it seems like the right move.

[Guadaloopy 10960]

I would think IBB is your first move if you are the visiting team and didn’t score.

It’s the automatic move in that spot. That run doesn’t mean shit 

[Pato del Muerto 52485]

And hoby Milner enters for the angels

[Guadaloopy 10960]

Boom

[ss13 1832]

This Longhorn bout to get fucked.

Yet it didn’t happen. 
actually, neither the ibb nor the sac bunt attempt happened.

Ho lee fuk, I’ll say so. 

[clapclapclap 9000]

Welp

[Longhornmaniac8 255]

Whoops.

[youdunnf'dup 2147]

Annnd that. Baby. Is. Gone

[Pato del Muerto 52485]

Aaaand his earned runs allowed per pitch is not great. 
well only 1 is his but you get the idea.

What a goddamn fucking awful pitch. Jesus fuck.

Side note, with my limited mlb tv knowledge, this is my favorite hr call. When one of the A’s guys get a hold of one, I love his “And, that baby is gone”

Hendricks damn near threw a Maddux on opening day.  103 pitches.  Good on Ross for leaving him in.

He's the most boring player in MLB that they need to market towards for fast games. 9 innings, 9 ks, 0bb, 74 out of 103 pitches as strikes. This used to be an actual thing 20 years ago with Maddux and Pedro, why not care now?

Lol Cubs fail

[WBT 20561]

 

[Beau Vine 54207]

So there's not even an error recorded on that, right? even though Baez fucked it up twice.
Also, Milwaukee 's unis are the tits.

[mdmost 42999]

So Fox, if you're going to try to fool me with fake crowds, try not to have them being apparitions that the players walk through. 

[Bartles 769]

Guess that's why they virtual fans are socially distanced and not in the lower rows whether the players might walk. Seems like a lot of effort, and probably money, for an effect that's barely noticeable.

Nope, fielder's choice because they did prevent Cain from going to 3rd is the way I think you would score it.

[Scraps 13560]

Cubs being pussies

[Scraps 13560]

And now getting rocked

[WBT 20561]

Yu must be tipping his pitches again

Yu must be tipping his pitches again

Brewers getting signals from a fake coach sitting in bleachers with fake fans.

[cabowabo 4484]

Opposing team just hit a home run in Wrigley and the crowd cheered. That’s a first.

Someone never played middle infield. Can’t see what kind of shift they were in, but Bryant fucked that up by not covering 2nd. RF went full tard as well.

welcome to 2020 Yelich!

Glow puck. 

Virtual fans.

Quote

Washington Nationals ace Stephen Strasburg will miss his scheduled start against the New York Yankees on Saturday because of a nerve issue in his hand, manager Davey Martinez said.

The Nationals are hopeful Starsburg, who had a cortisone shot to treat the issue, will be good to go in a few days, according to Martinez, though the manager also cautioned the Nationals would be "extremely careful with him."

Right-hander Erick Fedde will start in Strasburg's place against New York's James Paxton.

The 2019 World Series MVP, Strasburg signed a seven-year, $175 million extension with Washington in December.

Now is not the time to bitch about baseball coverage, dude.
