The Official 2024 MLB Thread


Recommended Posts

With the Super Bowl behind us, and pitchers and catchers reporting even as I type, this seems a good time to turn the page to 2024.

 

Baseball!

 

Will the Cardinals and Royals rebound? Will it be the dreaded dead cat bounce? 

 

How will Ohtani look if he's just focused on hitting? Are the Dodgers and Astros inevitable? Will the A's win fifty games? Will I ever again fill out a complete Immaculate Grid? So many questions.

Oh, when it comes to sports, I'm fully polyamorous!

I've always rooted for the As from the AL and Dodgers from the NL.  The As aren't even trying to win anything, and the Dodgers have become an unlikable behemoth of a franchise.  So 2024 has me vacillating between complete ambivalence toward MLB and rooting for the Mariners.

The Brewers' favorite son, Brandon Woodruff, won't be pitching this year, but the team still signed him to a 2-year deal.  

 

They have Faith.  :thumbsup:   If Woodruff makes a successful comeback, he'll be a lock for the Brewers' Wall of Honor.

Spring training means nothing! But didn't the Dodgers punch the Padres in the face, though? And Ohtani didn't even take an at-bat! No pressure this year, Dave Roberts.

Shohei Ohtani's interpreter has been BUSTED!  

 

Huge gambling debts and theft.  He reportedly took lots of money from Ohtani.   :wagfinger:

Ohtani speaks, doesn’t say much, people still doubting his word!

Opening Day!  Brewers @ Mets!   :thumbsup:  :thumbsup:  :thumbsup:

 

The Mets are already trying to start fights!  The Brewers' Hoskins slides hard into 2d base.  Shortstop McNeil goes off on a tantrum, benches clear....

So today, Hoskins goes 3 for 4 with 4 RBI's and a big homer.

 

In Hoskins's at-bat after his homer, the Mets' pitcher throws the ball behind his head.  EJECTION!!    :biggrin:

Christian Yelich channeled his inner Gwen Stefani and hit a No Doubter to center.  :biggrin:

The Angels are gonna finish above 500 this season and Arte will finally sell the team.

 

 

  Reveal hidden contents

Yes, I'm watching some 1986 movie with Biff from BTTF and some valley girl.

 

 

This was Ben Lindbergh's prediction on the Effectively Wild podcast. Well, not the selling the team part, but the .500 part.

What a week I'm having!

 

Brewers reliever Trevor Megill got hit with food poisoning, which made him pass out and fall over at a phone store. 

He hit his head and now has a concussion.  He's out for a week.     :ohmy:

Spare a thought for the Diamondbacks' fans: they score 14 runs in an inning to start the season, and have now lost in extra innings with a pitcher batting! Ah, the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune.

 

Meanwhile, in the Royals four losses, they been leading or tied going into the ninth in all four!

 

And the Cardinals continue their quest to make giving Kid Marmol and extension look like an iffy decision. 

 

Baseball!

Attention BluesChica!

 

I kinda like the looks of this hot dog:

 

A foot-long hot dog and bun, topped with potato pierogis, pot roast, pickles and onions in a Pirates paper wrapper.

 

I'll pay for the shipping, of course . . .
