The Official 2024-25 MLB Offseason Discussion Thread

I saw a stat saying they had their second most runs scored in the first three games in team history too, probably RBIs as well

I really like the culture that Minnesota overall has managed to create. It feels like the guys are all genuinely having fun playing for the team. I think Rocco Baldelli has the potential to help lead the team to the ever elusive World Series title. Admittedly the White Sox are not prime competition, but if the Twins continue to play the way they are playing against other tough teams such as the Yankees, Red Sox, Dodgers, and others, I think they'll really be the team to beat this year.

Plus, we'll be getting Byron Buxton, Jake Odorizzi, and La Tortuga Willians Astudillo back soon, so we haven't even peaked yet.

I can definitely get behind a Twins bandwagon especially come playoffs. Just know I'll still probably shit on them until then to upset you whenever I can

MLB postpones all Marlins games through Sunday

MLB announced a series of scheduling changes after postponing Miami's next six games amid the team's coronavirus outbreak.

4 more Marlins have tested positive so now all their games until Sunday are postponed. This is a shit show, and the NFL also might start to look at their "bubble-less" plans for this season more closely IMO with how baseball has went so far

Man, if baseball gets pulled and then football is canceled. I’ll be so sad.

I would take some solace if the NBA are able to finish their restart with no big issues bc I've said for years they're ran better than all the other leagues even if they're nowhere near perfect themselves.

Shoot I'm hearing half of the Roster for the Marlins has come up with positive results. Sucks hard because now my Phillies players hopefully are not effected by this, and it screws up the Schedule hard too. My Phillies won't be playing The Yankees if all goes well Friday might be their next Game.

they'll just do a bunch of double headers

 

[RDK]

Red sox are looking um..yeah

 

[Grimoire Lenin]

Twins are up 0-5 in the 3rd rn. Color me excited.

 

[RDK]

Damn Joe Kelly just threw a fastball at Bregman and then a breaking ball at Correas head. Houston started chirping at him so he dips with this



Benches emptying now. How sanitary

Agree with the decision tbh, Astros got some punishment too but man those pitches were just terrible. Never been a fan of retaliating anyway, just makes you look like a petty bitch trying to be cool to me and I don't like allowing baserunners bc of it.

That said, Astros should expect this for a few more weeks at least bc of what they did and they really have no right to complain but the MLB did say previously they were going to come down hard on "headhunting" against them so teams should probably try being a bit more subtle than Mr. Kelly

 

[Hidden Blaze]

I mean, I'm not sure where I stand on it. Like with one thing, What punishment did the Astros actually get for cheating? The players who took part in it still got to play and didn't get suspended right? I feel they should have. Once they didn't, they had to know this would happen. The players are mad that they basically got away with it, got to keep their World Series win. Yeah some fines and shit happened, but that's probably nothing when you look at the amount of money they make.

At the same time, Joe was on the Red Sox cheating team so he got's really no room to talk.

 

[RDK]

I love Joe Kelly and I respect the passion he showed last night. Also calling Correa a bitch is something we would all love to do...

The pitch to Bregman was too far though and merits the suspension

 

[Chris]

The Bregman pitch was scary af tbh.

I've just never liked intentionally hitting anyone for any reason, a bitch way to go about anything from my POV, more batters should beat the pitcher with their bats and we might see less of it. But all teams do it, i remember the Astros doing it as well in the past so like they can't sit on any high horse about it lmao just a thing I'd like to see done away with in baseball as a whole
