Have the Pirates been mathematically eliminated from the POs yet? 

Probably. So have the Royals.

Clemente and Mays were my favorite players when I was a kid. I have followed those two NL teams as a result.

[Helobious 9456]

Cole just mowing these bitches down. I know it’s pretty early but holy shit I think we have something special this year. 

[shadow_operative 15932]

11 of the first 12 hitters in yankees vs giants have k'd.

annnnnd he's back! LOL helo, you are too good man. "oh shit, gerrit cole is striking guys out through his first two innings of the season, 162-0 here we come, suck it losers!" 

[WBT 20559]

8 Ks through 3 for Cole, if that's any good.

Volpe walks in first PA

[shadow_operative 15932]

logan webb has k'd 5 through two IP in the same game.

[Beau Vine 54203]

Volpe on pace to break all of Rickey's stolen base records.

Yeah last I checked 8 was more than 5, but that’s still neat!

Need an update after a few games when they run out of 2022 Judge AL HR Record goldilocks balls in the Yankee Stadium Humidor 

[Biff Tannen 45661]

Did anyone see that Sandlot commercial with Ham Porter, Trout, and Griffey?  It didn't have sound on my end for some reason.

sweet, thanks for the totally tangential response to my post that had nothing to do with cole or the yankees.

gerrit cole has 2 bb throughout 3 ip, he's clearly going to have a career high whip and the yankees will probably only win 65 games.

verlander to the IL with an upper arm injury. not a great start in NY for him. 

[shadow_operative 15932]

austin riley on pace to finish the season with 0 HR, 750 BB.

[VirginiaLonghorn 4767]

Rutschman .. HR first swing of the season.

1.000 OPS. Not too shabby. 

[Helobious 9456]

Yankees-Giants in the bottom of the 6th inning exactly 1 hr & 30 mins after the first pitch.

[Vic Mackey 47006]

Most of this board is understandably AL-focused. Let’s throw out an NL team that you will be watching. 
I’ll go with the Rockies just to be different. 

Brewers for me.

And 12 is more than 11. From a guy you didn’t have a clue existed.

I just keep picturing Jeter’s smiling face next to your username. Now you probably wish you had waited a few hours before making that bet after seeing how today’s been going.

Speaking of teams that should be in the AL...

[Vic Mackey 47006]

Speaking of teams that should be in the AL...

Agreed. And put Houston back in the NL.

2:33 time of game for Giants-Yanks

[shadow_operative 15932]

i'm watching as many games as I can and to this point the new rules are causing havoc on the base paths all over the place. I love it.

[shadow_operative2.0 15942]

Yep, 4 steals for Balt, Bos’ C has yet to make a throw. 

[shadow_operative 15932]

the O's have 4 sb through 14 outs. 

Adley Rutschman already in base four times. 👀 

[TonyTexas 10504]

The new pick off rules need some tweaking. The advantage to the base runners is too extreme. Steals are great but so is caught stealing. 

[Beau Vine 54203]

I don't think I've ever seen a major leaguer being the anthem singer before his team's game. 

Have now.

Waino kicks ass.

[shadow_operative2.0 15942]

Another steal for Mullins, another hit for Adley. 

[VirginiaLonghorn 4767]

Rutschman 4-4, 4 RBI, SLG 1.750

[tx 3 putt 76862]

 

[BrazilHorn 6586]

Orioles killing Red Sox 10-4 in 8th. It’s cold as ass here in Boston today. Super windy. I bet Fenway is miserable. 

[shadow_operative 15932]

I called the Hall of Fame for him last year, and now I am seriously going to be disappointed if he doesn't end up being as good as Johnny Bench.

 

[WBT 20559]

Greinke gets Correa to popup with runners on 2nd and 3rd and 2 outs.  Scoreless headed to the bottom of the 5th.

Now it’s 10-8 bottom 9. 1 out. 

[VirginiaLonghorn 4767]

Final .. 10-9

[BrazilHorn 6586]

orioles hang on to beat Boston 10-9. Almost a huge comeback for Sox. 

[Huckleberry 32845]

Speaking of pace of play, a 10-9 game won by the visiting team (so 9 full innings) featuring a dozen pitchers finished in 3:10.

Pitch clock is awesome. 

[shadow_operative2.0 15942]

Phillies/Rangers will fuck up today’s average with the commish in attendance.
