2024 MLB Season Thread - Catch All

[UTexasFight 9431]

The juxtaposition of beautiful sunshine and Skenes steadily turning to wet and dark as the bullpen pisses it away is quite comical

That was a brutal way to start your star rookie career. Yikes

Well, he was a fucking badass, so...

Looks like we've found another starter in James Paxton. If our pitching holds up, we've got the best team in baseball.

[Gil Bang 25944]

And you'll still lose the season series to the Padres. 

 

Many years ago, Lasorda ranted about the Dodgers' bad luck against the Padres.  

Something like "the cocksuckers are 15 games under .500, but when they come up here they turn into the '27 Yankees"

[Beau Vine 54211]

Hey, he homered today and he has a higher BA than Matt Olson.

Plus, swings like that mean he's just fucked in the head, not over the hill...

[Derka 6175]

helo has a higher batting average than matt olson.

[shadow_operative2.0 15965]

Well, one way to end SNB.

Can you do for Olson whatever it is you did for Michael Harris last year? that would be swell.

Hated those Mets but I was doc gooden fan ….

 

[Beau Vine 54211]

20-yo Doc Gooden had such absurd shit that it was like watching a cartoon.

[shadow_operative2.0 15965]

This is for @Zonahorn.

Quote

Right-hander Adbert Alzolay, who opened the season as the Chicago Cubs' closer, was placed on the 15-day injured list on Monday with a right forearm strain.

Right-hander José Cuas was recalled from Triple-A Iowa.

Alzolay is 1-4 with a 4.67 ERA and has four saves in nine opportunities. Héctor Neris, who has six saves in seven chances, has moved into the closer's role though Alzolay earned the save in the Cubs' 5-4 win in 10 innings at Pittsburgh on Sunday. Neris was the winning pitcher.

Alzolay becomes the eighth current Cubs player on the injured list.

Cuas was recalled from the minors on Saturday when Yency Almonte was placed on the IL with a right shoulder strain. Cuas was then sent back to Iowa one day later when Kyle Hendricks was activated from the injured list.

I’ve been to well over 120 games and have never caught a foul ball.

The odds of catching a foul ball are slim to none, the odds of catching 2 have to be close to impossible. The odds of catching 2 on back to back pitches...

[Scraps 13561]

I've caught one in my life and I wish I could have authenticated it somehow cause the last person to touch it before me was Ohtani because he was pitching(obviously).

[ConferenceRoom 6141]

I won tickets off 1300 for this game:

and got a foul off Chris Burke, I think.

Damn Rose is so far off the plate. I could’ve dotted him with a fastball on the outside corner I bet. And I’m only half-joking. He’s just so far off it though.

Hey, the Out King is 83 years old now.  I'll bet Helo could throw one by him.  

[Underdog 28611]

Pete would take that bet. 

[tx 3 putt 76905]

Prayers that Paul Skenes has energy left for game day …..

Same for Verlander 🙏🙏🙏 …..

God bless Youtube.  The pitch at 17:30 is the one I fielded.  Was on front row and snagged it as it went by.  Camera didn't catch it, though.

That was a sharp looking uniform … my favorite since the original Colt .45 with the smoking barrel.

Nola threw MLB's 5th CGSO of the year tonight

[Pato del Muerto 52489]

Wonder if he used illegal stuff on his glove like the guy that has one of the other 4

The Astros pitcher clearly had a different substance than the other pitchers. Also, when your team is known for cheating you don’t get any benefit of the doubt

speaking of old.  still one of the more amazing things I've seen on a baseball field. 75 years old, wood bat, real park.

Pete was actually looking for a FB outside corner.  look at his first step.  He'd have taken Helo to right for a single turned into a double.  Rose actually used a 36 inch bat much of his career but he choked up a bit. dude probably has 2500 opposite field singles.
