2022 MLB thread

The Yankees are legitimately at rock bottom and digging as deep as they can go. 1-19 in the last 20 games, or something close to that. Cue some dork with no life that’s actually gonna google that & say I’m wrong by a game or whatever. 
 

The Padres are right on our ass with their own shovel. But they gutted their farm system to be this bad, we still have our top 4 prospects. I look forward to seeing all 4 of them get called up in 6 years. God forbid they ever replace a useless veteran player. Motherfuck.

rangers crushing. kinda.

^^^^^^^^

One of the replies said Nick Madrigal would have had 20 homers.

Holy shit, Angels have Angel'd the fuck out of this top 9. 

[Beau Vine 54238]

Holy hell, Angels?

[shadow_operative2.0 15987]

Beau killed Stassi with that WAR post the other day. 3 total fuckups back-to-back-to-back. 

[Beau Vine 54238]

OMG.

I've always thought Stassi sucks.  That post was just to show how utterly shitty AL catching is.

Jeez Angels, have some respect for yourselves.

[shadow_operative 15932]

hilarious 9th inning.

[shadow_operative2.0 15987]

Hopefully we get a Twitter montage of all the fuckery soon. 

[shadow_operative2.0 15987]

For Beau. 

 

[shadow_operative2.0 15987]

What a fucking fitting ending, Adell Ks on a ball that may have broken his thumb. 

[shadow_operative2.0 15987]

 

And they missed the first play that started it all, Stassi threw a ball into RC when the runner was going back to 1st.

The shot of their fans.  LMAO.

[Helobious 9454]

Saw that this morning. Good god. At least I’m not an angels fan I guess.

That’s not even Little League quality. We are talking Tee-Ball hijinks.

Idiot Pirates’ rookie is appealing his one-game suspension for phone in his pocket. Just take your medicine & shut up, kid.

Winning in baseball is just stupid luck most of the time. The angels have 2 of the best players in the game and they suck. On any given night the Yankees start 4-6 of the statistically worst players in the game & they’re 30 games over .500 (for now anyway). It’s stupid.

Looks like the Yankees are getting unlucky early tonight. 

[Helobious 9454]

The Red Sox flat out suck but they try. We seem to be legitimately throwing games. What even is this effort. 
 

 

[TonyTexas 10515]

Maybe baseball IS all luck

i'm trying to remember a story here, and hopefully one of you regulars (or anyone else) will know what i'm talking about. the long and short of it is that a guy held a grudge for like ten years before getting a chance to get revenge on another player who had wronged him in some way- maybe the guy pimped a HR, or he the guy had plunked him, can't remember. i just remember that they didn't play each other again for like a decade, but the one guy was still out for revenge and went after the other guy. any of y'all know what i'm talking about?

You mean like a fight, or the hitter took a P deep or something? 

 

Giancarlo yacked Fiers 4 years after he drilled him in the face, but that’s probably not long enough.

yeah, like maybe a pitcher got big-timed, and he didn't see the guy again for like 11 years, but when he did see him again he beamed him. something like that. i think one of the games may have even been spring training lol.

Hunter Strickland -- Bryce Harper?

[shadow_operative 15932]

i want to say it was back in like the 70's. i'm trying to find it on google, but no luck so far. 

[shadow_operative2.0 15987]

Yeah, every combination of search terms I tried just kept bringing up homers by dudes that were pissed. 

[ztejas 43457]

Hit up /r/baseball @shadow_operative.

I tried some googles but that's a tough one to nail down for myriad reasons. 

[ztejas 43457]

1 on 2 outs B8 Judge grounds out.

Smells like another NYY loss.

this stat is unbelievable to me:

This fat little fuck is throwing a perfect game.  He looks like an O-lineman from an RGV high school.

Welp, there's a hit.

[shadow_operative2.0 15987]

2 Ks, GIDP so far tonight for Stassi. Maybe tomorrow off, Nevin.

Hey that’s pretty uncalled for man 

*looks up Suarez and sees he’s 5’10 225* 

well shit we could really use that at LG this year…

[Sbbruin 21858]

Dodgers take the lead in the 11th only to hand it to Kimbrel.  That won’t last.  One question I never thought of.  Is a reliever charged with an earned run if the runner who starts the inning at second scores?  He didn’t put him on, but I guess yes?  
 

This game isn’t here if CT3 doesn’t make a great game saving catch on McCutchen .  Oh and a Gallo home run!

Kid from LT.

And of course Kimbrel loses it.  We absolutely cannot go into the playoffs with him at closer.

I think he’s a good fit… like Jansen was for y’all in ‘17.

Dude, really? Yeah we are off this year. Yankees have been off this entire century. Going to love seeing Baltimore beat you in the Playoffs. Or the Astros. 

Or who knows. We go on a run and we get to do it. That would be sweet. Shit, only player for you with an RBI tonight was an Ex-Sox (and a WS winner) who I hate that we got rid of.
