MLB 2023 Season - Page 9

Tigers and Yankees literally use the same blue (#0C2340). Them wearing the same blue jerseys for spring training has driven me nuts for years.

Syd Thrift · 03-17-2023, 04:54 PM

Yeah, they should be able to wear like 12 jerseys a season. Hell. let them wear 162 different styles a season plus one more for every spring training game. Unfortunately, Nike has spoken.

Should be the home team, the gray away team, one single had for almost all games, and then the Sunday hat. That's it.

Oh..screw advertising on them. The teams make enough money.

Rhys Hoskins torn ACL. In a contract year too. Really bad break for all concerned.

Nah, "Vogelfat, the Terror of the Basepaths" has been on regular TV. (And non-Twitter users can usually see videos like that; it's users who get blocked by people they've annoyed.)

Funny as anything, but having to resort to "look! We've changed the game! Aren't you excited?" ads is rather pathetic, IMO. But y'all know how much I loathe everything Manfred has done, so…

I still say it was a crock that Judge won AL MVP. If he had had two less HR's Ohtani would have won easily.

I think it is absurd anyone could be an MVP candidate from a team out of the hunt before NFL players reported to camp.

Cobra Mgr · 03-30-2023, 12:14 AM

Anyone else besides me disgusted it took til 2023 for MILB player salaries to reach $35,000/yr?

Not ohtanis fault the angels are so poorly run.

Boomcoach · 03-30-2023, 12:37 PM

Despite everything the Reds have done to discourage me, I still find myself excited for opening day. Especially with the possibility that I may, at some point, in the near future, maybe, if the stars align, actually get to watch them play for the first time in 2 years.

Westheim · 03-30-2023, 02:00 PM

Just a few more minutes!! Opening DAAAAAAAY!!

monkeyman576 · 03-30-2023, 02:16 PM

Gerrit Cole is on point.

monkeyman576 · 03-30-2023, 02:19 PM

He needs to pitch to contact more or it's gonna be a short outing.

dsvitak · 03-30-2023, 04:33 PM

The Clydesdales are circling the stadium now at Busch. If you're a Cardinal fan, this will tug a bit at the ol' heartstrings!

Adam Wainwright is singing the national anthem. Place is going nuts.

rudel.dietrich · 03-30-2023, 05:56 PM

I gave the Braves-Nationals a chance and the game was moving with some pace.
I may find myself watching more baseball this year

I acknowledge that. I also acknowledge that the pressure to pitch or hit is greater when games down the stretch mean something other than just a chance to pad your stats. Judge carried his team to the postseason. Ohtani carried his team to Cancun. Numbers in a pennant race mean more than numbers to finish out the season. I'm short just one homer from tying Ohtani & Trout's total combined in the postseason. I would never give players like that MVP consideration.

I like to watch baseball in the background while I'm working. Plus any Mariners game.

I wonder if the pitch clock will lead to more injuries if pitchers are forced to pitch before they are ready.
