JSngry Posted March 30 Author Report Posted March 30 Here's hoping that that Devers guy can wait one more game before snapping out of it. Quote

Nobody does unless their name is Abreu or Campbell. What a horrid start. I hope you are pleased with the Red Sox middle reliever you signed. Wil hardly walk anyone, quality strikes, and plenty of swing and miss even at 39. Quote
ghost of miles Posted March 31 Report Posted March 31 (edited) No surprise that I've greatly enjoyed the Yankees' bombs-away start to their season. Their offense may prove to be better than expected in the wake of Juan Soto's departure, though that's highly dependent on some of the younger players realizing their potential at the plate (Volpe, Wells, Rice, Dominguez), Judge and Goldschmidt staying healthy, and Jazz continuing to thrive in his New York setting. The rotation is a whole 'nother story, and therein lies the bigger vulnerability. Past Rodon and Fries, it's pejorative-worthy at this point. Even with Gil's eventual (hopeful?) return by early summer, there'll be little to no depth for the inevitable injuries. I gather that Milwaukee's in a much worse position regarding the health of their rotation? It's taken me awhile to get into the spirit of the new season this year (for various reasons)...pretty much ignored spring training and have little sense of who's seen as strong in the AL this year, though I've noticed Baltimore and Boston namechecked the few times I've glanced at anything online. And of course the new evil empire in southern California is supposed to reign supreme in the NL and inevitably in the WS as well...and they may well do so, but first they have to actually do it. Anyway, thanks a lot, NY. Edited March 31 by ghost of miles Quote

GA Russell Posted Saturday at 04:15 AM Report Posted Saturday at 04:15 AM The average salary is now $5 million. I wonder how that compares to the other leagues. MLB’s average salary tops $5 million for first time Quote
Dan Gould Posted Sunday at 12:51 PM Report Posted Sunday at 12:51 PM Riddle me this: MLB.com schedule page does not include MLB Network broadcasts for TV availability, only national cable/over-the-air broadcasts plus home and visitor TV. WTF? My elderly Mom needs to be reminded if and when the Cubs are on TV and now I have discovered that I have to go to MLB Network to see schedule and make a note to call her as close to broadcast time as I can (with her mental state calling her the night before is unlikely to prove effective).

JSngry Posted 9 hours ago Author Report Posted 9 hours ago Too early to get too excited about the Rangers, but they are starting well enough to be fun! Quote
HutchFan Posted 9 hours ago Report Posted 9 hours ago Braves looking HORRIBLE (so far) at 1-8. I know that it's early, but SHEESH. Quote
Dan Gould Posted 8 hours ago Report Posted 8 hours ago Getting excited for Wilyer Abreu (who should be next to get an extension locking him up for 8 years or so) and the 22 year old kid, Campbell. More talent on the farm and not sure where to put them. Cedanne Raphaela needs to prove he can hit major league pitching, cut down on Ks and get his walk rate up (which seems to be happening a little) to stick. If you have someone who can play CF effectively and hit for power and average and get on base, how can you keep a guy who is a great defender but strikes out a ton, never walks, and very occasionally hits a homer? He's only 23 now, I think but there is talent coming up and I feel like he is the weak link in the OF for well-rounded game. Quote
