You can’t spell ‘no big contracts’ without RSN: 2024 regular MLB season thread!

Impressed to see them come back from 5-0 in the 1st to win 9-7 in extras

looks like the mets are gonna start out 0 and 4 :[

NL east now 5-16 and -32

This theory about why the A’s sent down their best player is insane, and when I saw it yesterday I honestly thought it was a tasteless April Fool’s. But no!

Rooker benched, Ruiz sent down.

The Yankees bullpen has given up one run in 19.2 innings thus far.

Pirates 5-0, all 5 on the road

xp my favourite pitching stat atm is the Red Sox rotation giving up one walk in 28 innings.

Struggling to think of a more appropriate surname for James Outman...

lol

tbf, he's been plenty unlucky this game

Sister’s cat yowling his head off woke me up an hour ago unexpectedly and so I was awake to see Cedanne Rafaela make this quite literally game saving catch. I’m in awe of this kid!

welcome to pittsburgh (or more likely indianapolis) joey bart, erstwhile Next Buster Posey/Previous Adley Rutchman

fwiw i had a dream about tony sanchez a couple nights ago; probably an omen

I posted about this in this necro thread:

The Oakland A's of Fremont new stadium talk

but it looks like the A's are heading to....

Sacramento for 2025-2028 (with an option for 2029) at the same stadium that used to be their AAA affiliate (currently SF's AAA affiliate).

It appears Vegas is still an eventual option but this makes me think that there are additional concerns, despite the Fantasyland-esque stadium concept art.

They should just move to Sacramento and skip all the other stuff.

i would love for that to happen

metes fail to walk it off, leave 2 on base :(

I’m watching. I think this is a rescheduled rain delay game right? Nimmo is so fast I’m kind of surprised they didn’t send him again.

yeah it's gonna be a doubleheader

nimmo is fast but that was a terrible jump he got

eury perez has been defeated by tommy john :(

The undefeated Tiggers rallied back from 0-3 deficit to tie the uh... defeated Metropols.

tigers pen has some great facial hair... eastbound and down lookin crew

Tigers are 7000-1 to win the WS.

bold move to put the guy who lost the last game to the tigers in extras in so he can also lose this game to the tigers in extras too

Angel Hernandez at the plate here but although he’s had some shit calls you can’t really stick this one on him

mendoza looks constipated. he needs a W!

Who are they even going to bring out to relieve in the night game?

this game'll be over before sunset. no night needed

“Jake Burger sends that one into Big Mac Land.”

If I was a broadcaster for a team that had a dude named “Burger” I would also be incapable of not going wild with that name.

Mets getting no hit by Detroit's #7 SP/AAA-call-up is something.

nm, they just took him out after 90 pitches, thought he was gonna go all the way.

METS WALK IT OFF

the sac bunt is back baby!!~

Small ball and long ball gets it done

What a relief, really thought they were going 0-6 there.

Now if someone can get the Marlins a win…

Bobby Miller.

User felicity if you’re around I’m watching the Cubs game & Mark Prior just had a mound visit

Bobby Miller.

...gave up a home run to dansby swanson
...threw a wild pitch that led to a run scoring
...took almost 60 pitches to get through 1 2/3 innings
...got pulled before he got through two innings

Yeah, but did you see the 1st? 😍

(Poor kid, on his birthday, in front of his whole family 🫠)

i wasn't trying to be mean, btw, he's obviously a talented pitcher. i just think it's fun when you see bobby miller vs. kyle hendricks and expect one outcome and then something different happens

As soon as Dansby hit that absolute bomb, it was all over. Big hole in Millers game is that when things go bad, things go bad

Athletics putting four earned runs on Skubal I did not expect to see

Skubal looked great the first couple times through the order but his velo dropped in the 7th and they left him in to overcook.

Kinda like Miller who looked great for about 5 mins.

Oh, he gave up 2 home runs as well, he had just 4 last year in 80 innings (returning from injury)

xp Skubal is one of my favourite lefties, I love watching him pitch
