jack presley

With the season starting tomorrow in Japan, time for the annual regular season thread to be started. Off season thread still relevant for the other 28 teams I suppose.

Network is going to get more revenue from ads from that matchup.

MLB is also going back up against NFL from this week so they need that marquee matchup, especially when SNF is Steelers @ Pats this week.

Ah yeah, as I said I know it's all about ratings it'd just be nice to see the Red Sox/Yankees in a Sunday afternoon spot for a change. With that SNF match up and the position of the Red Sox, the ratings are going to struggle anyway.

A little harsh if what he was using it for is true

kmart6

You think that's harsh? Look at Golden Tate for the Giants in the NFL. He got a 4 game ban for a drug that he was taking to help with his fertility to conceive a kid Would have more sympathy for that than a professional player who isn't keeping his weight down.

mlb.com 'predictor tool' saying de Grom wins the Cy Young. I don't see it - another year on a team not making the playoffs with maybe an 11-8 record (3 more wins in I think 5 more starts.) It could happen, it'd be cool.

Well Max Scherzer just stole a base!

(I know, I know, it has no impact on the CY)

Dave Dombriwski has been fired by Boston less than a year after winning the World Series. I know it’s been a (relatively) poor year for Boston but surely he deserved another shot.

Very hard to repeat as WS winners in baseball and being in a division with the Yankees doesn’t help.

I would have expected Boston to have at least made the WC. He did make a couple of errors though - giving Pearce and Eovaldi new contracts was an awful idea in hindsight (Pearce in particular).

Good to see David Ortiz throwing out the first pitch in Boston last night.

Big blow for the Brewers with Yelich going down for the year.

Not that it was unexpected, but the Dodgers won their 7th NL West title in a row last night.
There's a good article on ESPN discussing how this feat was achieved, not just because of their financial backing.
It listed the players that they picked up cheaply (like Chris Taylor and Justin Turner) and players they drafted

This is a pretty cool stat.

When you prevent an out of the park home run but they score an inside the park home run instead

Also 1044-1044 with the Giants.

Igotadose

On September 11th, Mets had 9 runs and 11 hits.

(oh they won, too)

jack presley

A bad couple of days for knees. First Yelich, now Otani

Scoring 2 runs on a strike is pretty rare I'd imagine

Pete Alonso was 0-3 so decided he needed to change things up a bit so shaved off his moustache mid game.

https://twitter.com/Cut4/status/1172229717619089409?s=20

Didn't help. He ended up going 0-5.

jack presley

17, 14 and 13*. The amount of runs scored by the Cubs against the Pirates this weekend.

*and they're only in the 7th inning today.

Edit - 17, 14 and 16 it ended up.

AL Wild Card race is....wild...no better word for it.

As it stands (W/L):

Oakland 89/60
Tampa 89/61
Cleveland 87/63

Really really hope the Athletics make it

NL kind of tight at the moment too to be fair. 2 from 3 it looks like

Washington 82/66
Chicago 81/68
Milwaukee 80/69

Mets and Phillies a further 2 and 3 games back and probably out of it.

Just seen a stat that Gerrit Cole has struck out 300 batters so far the year. Wow!!

kmart6

Germán on administrative leave for an accusation of domestic violence.
Looks like Yankees will be without him for the post season.

Padres fired their manager. Guess someone had to be held accountable for missing the playoffs by a long way despite them spending big on Machado.

Manager always carries the can. But some of their players didn't exactly cover themselves in glory

Hoping that we're saying the same about the Mets once the season ends.

Joe Madden will probably be looking for a job in about a week's time too.
