OT: 2021 MLB Regular Season Discussion Thread

[My3Sons]

Apparently the Mets got a steal at 10 in the draft with Kumar Rocker, a RHP from Vanderbilt

Hes already going to be 22 this year, so may not be long until hes in the show

I'm amazed that Vandy can compete as well as it does in baseball. That's a tough school to attend. My kids' friends that have or are going there have all had to change their majors from their ambitious ones to some general lesser stuff. I can't imagine that playing high end D1 baseball is conducive to studying. I am very impressed if someone can handle both at that school...

Brooks Kriske tied an AL record by throwing 4 wild pitches in the 10th inning tonight. Tied a record set by Rick Vaughn of the 1989 Cleveland Indians.

At least Cleveland's new name makes sense for the city

Cleveland Guardians | Cleveland Indians (mlb.com)

 

[Zajacs Bowl Cut]

the logo with the G and wings SUCKS

Apparently those bridge guardians are called the guardians of traffic lol I don't care that they changed the name but to me if you have you go into this much detail to explain everything then it shows it's a pretty bad choice. With all the creative people and artists we have in this world they should have been able to come up with something better design wise, name and logos.

It reminds me of when the Devils unveiled the current uniforms with all the explanations of what everything was on it.

It’s Cleveland. What were they going to go with? Factory of Sadness?

Baseball deadline week is even nuttier than the NHL FA frenzy or deadline day

 

[bobilly45]

Guess the mets will just wait and watch what other teams do..

So I love baseball, I still play it, I coach it. Its been in my life since i was 3. It is my favorite sport (Hockey is second).

As I get older and I see the things that these ultra large baseball markets are doing. I really start to believe that a hard cap with a cap floor needs to happen in Baseball. The parity of the league would be so much better. Teams this year like the Dodgers, Padres, and Yankees are just to much. Its baseball anyone can win on any given night but it just feels like the chips are so heavily stack against like 2/3rds of the league.

I know it wont happen, Baseball Owners are cheap and wouldnt want to be forced to spend to a certain number (cap floor) and the rich teams wouldnt want to be limited so they can keep building All-Star teams.

So yeah, I love Anthony Rizzo. Thank you for helping save this Yankees season for now.

That Field of Dreams Game was amazing.

Gave me vibes from the first ever Winter Classic Game.

Just overall a great experience and great game no matter who you are a fan of.

i watched a bit, it looked great...

…..now bring the decimated cubs to the field for a "let's play two" next season

..or not….no national audience wants to see a gutted team in prime time

 

[hacksaw7]

Wonder if the Field of Dreams game will become a yearly thing or a one off with some other gimmick game happening next year. I really enjoyed the visuals of it all

 

[ChicksDigTheTrap]

Ripping the team on Twitter - the "New Age owner" at its best.

I watched all of the Twilight movies with my wife last weekend (it was her idea and I’m a huge wuss) and they should do a game in central Washington that evokes the vampire baseball scene.

Ripping the team on Twitter - the "New Age owner" at its best.

Can you imagine George Steinbrenner in the Twitter era? It would be absolutely glorious.

10 games for the Yanks

 

[Emperoreddy]

Yanks are 17-3 since the Rally Cat game.

 

[billingtons ghost]

Yanks are 17-3 since the Rally Cat game.

That Velazquez homer made me cry too. (sap)

They looked like the most ill-constructed team I've ever seen up until they got Rizzo and Gallo. Now they can't do wrong.

I still think that when they face really top level pitching, they'll falter. LeMachina, Judge, Rizzo, Odor, Urshella, Gardner know how to have good, long at bats - but I still think Voit, Gallo, Sanchez, Torres, Wade, Velazquez, Higgy and Stanton are way too susceptible to the K against a true ace pitcher.

 

[Emperoreddy]

11 in a row! Leave Chapman in Atlanta

 

[Emperoreddy]

Girardi doing everything he can to justify the Yankees firing him this season.

Rojas pulls the reverse Joe with the Mets tonight.

 

[RangerDoggo]

Do what now
