The Official 2024-25 MLB Offseason Discussion Thread

Padres came so close to their first ever no hitter today

They hit six homers today though so I can’t be too upset.

Acuna's having a day hitting three homers in both doubleheaders against the Phillies, resulting in both wins!

Fernando Tatis Jr hit two grand slams last night. That gave him 11 home runs for the season so far.

He leads the mlb in homers, runs, and RBIs. After last night he had to apologize because our manager is soft and didn’t like that he swung at the pitch for the second homer and ran up the score. I guess it’s some unwritten old man rule in baseball, that rule can kick rocks.

Yeah I'm a Rangers fan but fuck 'em for that and the suspensions are worthy. If you don't want a player to hit a grand slam then don't throw him a pitch that's easily hit for a home run

That's always been my argument for any "running the score" argument, like if you don't want them to score then don't let them but don't bitch about it if you fail lmao. There's a benefit in most sports to not running up the score even for your own team such as giving backups time to play to prevent injuries when it's a blowout, so it's not actually an optimal strategy to run up the score most of the time but in this situation fuck it lmao dude swung on a 3-0 pitch bc you threw him a strike, he just supposed to wait until it's 3-1?

 

[RDK]

Yeah how you gonna expect a guy to not swing on a 3-0 count with 1 out. You watch a good pitch for 3-1...now what? You watch another or swing and miss and ur at a full count?

Now you gotta swing and possibly into a double play to end the inning?

Nah. Pitch better.

Kenta maeda

 

[Bobby Barrows]

FUCKING PISSED.

 

[RDK]

This burt guy announcing for the twins never heard of jinxing a no hitter lol?

 

[Bobby Barrows]

TWINS WIN! TWINS WIN! TWINS WIN ON A DESPERATION BUNT!

 

[Jimmy King]

Padres made MLB history tonight by being the first team to ever record a grand slam in four consecutive games.

Sorry Chris, still

 

[Jimmy King]

Milwaukee Brewers and Seattle Mariners will be joining the NBA’s Milwaukee Bucks in boycott tonight

 

[Hidden Blaze]

I still hate I miss the Braves games, because I keep forgetting to find the stream on Facebook. Fucking hate that Dish and Fox Sports South still ain't worked shit out.

Holy shit @Hollywood! The Braves' one run away from reaching 30 runs against the Marlins.

It's 29-9 going into the eighth inning!

Extremely impressive to see them dominate the Marlins.

I had to pull this up on facebook. holy shit.

 

[Apoho Creed]

I hope my Phillies beat them down as they are playing them for like 7 Games because of them needing to postpone their previous games with the players on the Marlins getting Covid left and right.
