MLB Regular Season Thread

Nice job, Swihart.

 

[Swervin81]

Neither team will be out of this game as long as Dickey and Porcello are still in.

Some awful fielding from Bautista there.

edit: Maybe some bad luck for Bautista rather than bad defense.

That error aside, Bautista really is horrible in RF now and should be moved to 1B ASAP. I'd rather see what we have in Pompey and give him some nice run.

The Pirates run the bases like a bunch of beheaded chickens. 2nd & 3rd and no outs...nada.

You either run on contact or you don't...you don't get doubled up on a goddamned dribbler because one guy goes and the other guy doesn't

With the obvious exception of the Marte grand slam last night the batting with RISP is just painful to watch. Too many outs just given to the Reds.

Man I love Eugenio.

I don't know why Pirates doesn't play adequately against Reds but if Pittsburgh and Detroit lose, O's are the last team without loss.

 

[Voight]

Joey Bats is making Porcello his bat boy.

 

[YNWA14]

Reds are legit.

 

[SladeWilson23]

Betances looks filthy today.

And then there was 1.

At least it'll stop merlin cat from making continuous threads like he did on football board.

 

[darko]

Reds are legit.

It's 5 games.

 

[SladeWilson23]

Impressed by CC's performance today.

 

[Tecumseh]

Reds are legit.

Lower your expectations, buddy

 

[Big McLargehuge]

Reds are legit.

Legitimately not the worst team in baseball, yes.

Bucs played like damp ass today...which will happen more than a few times over the course of a 162 game schedule. You don't get a medal for sweeping the Phillies at home, either.

What a shot by MadBum

 

[rangerssharks414]

MadBum!

 

[TootooTrain]

He's a bad bad man.

 

[SJSharksfan39]

Is it safe to say that Madbum owns Kershaw?

 

[darko]

Would love to see Kershaw return the favor but don't think that'll happen lol.

 

[YNWA14]

It's 5 games.

And? It's not based on their record. I've been saying this since spring training.

 

[TheBeastCoast]

It's 5 games and spring training. sss

 

[robert terwilliger]

yeah man, i mean every team that does well in spring training games does well in real games.

 

[Tecumseh]

It's only fitting that MadBum scores the Dodgers run too. And no he didn't lean into that

 

[Big McLargehuge]

yeah man, i mean every team that does well in spring training games does well in real games.

Cincinnati and Milwaukee went .500 in Spring Training, pacing the NL Central teams...Pretty safe to say those results won't be mirrored in the regular season...

The Pirates and Cubs went a combined 19-40

Rockies started 4-0 last season and look how that turned out for them.

I'm comfortable betting my lunch money those two will be in the playoffs.

yeah look, cincinnati has some pieces. they also have aging guys they won't trade so they won't bottom out like they need to. their core isn't good enough to win. phillips is heading down, bruce isn't great and votto is signed until the year after the end of time and has no interest in moving.
