The Official 2022 MLB Season Thread

Also, nice to see LaRussa's stupid 1-2 IW blow up in his face even if it's against my local rivals.  Screw your unwritten rules and retire, Karen.

The Brewers won!  And it wasn't a nail-biter!

CB Bucknor makes Angel Hernandez look like a robo-ump after 25 more years of improvement.

Oakland A's are 21-41, just 16.5 games out of first!!!

Brewers on-field reporter Sophia Minnaert was announcing the team’s latest roster moves.  
 

When she announced the Brewers claiming pitcher Chi Chi Gonzales from the Twins, she stumbled and called him “Chi Chi Go…driguez”….

I'm still kind of shocked the Angels run differential isn't bad.  It's a reverse of Mariners (miss you, driventotheedge) last season with their winning season but negative differential.

 

I notice the A's are a reverse Cincinnati.  Their record at home is way worse than on the road.  Reds are just below average at home but a wreck outside of home.

The Mets’ Jake Reed has quite the unique sidearm delivery.  
 

He starts off holding the ball up, then quickly corkscrews his arm to throw the ball laterally.  His elbow must be bionic….

Thanks to a 10-2 victory over the Mets, Craig Counsell has become the winningest manager in Milwaukee Brewers history with 564 wins.

However, Harvey Kuenn still holds the Brewers managerial record for drooling tobacco juice all over his shirt in 323 consecutive games.

Ah, the A's v. Royals match-up -- the essence of baseball!

This Cubs team sucks ass.

 

Morel has been a nice surprise, though.

Simply because they've lost ten in a row doesn't necessarily mean the team su- . . . well, maybe you've got a valid point, there.

 

The Cubbies are trying to recapture that pre-Theo non-magic.

Another wasted contract because of injury.  Thanks for nothing, Arte.  Would be even more pathetic if Justin Upton was the reason they lose any games this weekend since Seattle just called him up.  Speaking of bad contracts.

They broke up the Braves' streak, though!

The Brewers said goodbye to Lorenzo Cain in an amicable roster move.  Always a class act, Cain knew that it was time to go.   
 

THANK YOU, Lorenzo, for everything you’ve done for the Brewers.  You’re one of the best center fielders I’ve ever seen.

First series win for my team in over a month.  At least they'll always have Seattle and Trout's dominating numbers against them.  He's basically gonna pass Palmiero's home run visiting record at T Mobile by season's end.

[Principled Man]

You're in trouble now, Jerar.  The team is gonna expect it every day.....

It was a classy move by the team to let him reach 10 years of major league service prior to releasing him.

The Pirates called up their hot prospect - SS Oneil Cruz.  
 

He is 6’ 7” tall.

Dammit, the Yankees are actually good, aren't they? Ugh . . .

It's even worse since they face the Trashtros.  It's like watching Cowboys face Brady era Patriots.  Whoever wins, we lose.

And the final line score from the Bronx:

 

Houston 3 runs 8 hits 1 error

The New York Yankees 0 runs 0 hits 0 errors

The BFIBs doing the wave?

 

Yadi cannot be amused.

If only the Yanks were no hit by a team that I don't completely hate as well.

Two straight losing home game series against teams with worse records.  They have a habit of being a hare to these turtles and now have a worse record than Baltimore ffs.  BALTIMORE!
