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

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

...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

Some big defense on these cubs

Nico Hoerner made a near identical play to that when I saw the Cubs-Cards game in London & I’m pretty sure the Cards fans in front of us didn’t enjoy the did you fucking see that?! I came out with. Like the stuff you’d hear at any MLB stadium is the height of class, gents!

DET-PIT World Series -- book it

Don't love watching Skubal throw a dugout fit

The jays are 3-0 up against the Yankees but only have one rbi - the other two came off wild pitches with bases loaded.

I was at lunch! But that's exciting, I will review. I am sure it will be in the MLB condensed replay of the game ;)

I mean it might be notable that they had a mound visit in the first two innings! I wonder how many people in the crowd are wearing his shirt.

Sounds like a total serve. Wish I were there!

It looks breezy there, everyone’s wearing snoods

It was snowing a few days ago.

I remember, it was freezing when we were there in March. Wind is No Joke. At least the hotdog sellers will be doing a brisk trade, except for when Morel is up to bat.

It’s too bad Ohtani didn’t hit his first Dodger home run at Wrigley, they’d have thrown it back on the field for free and they could have avoided the unnecessary pr bungle.

yeah the sun is out but it's still pretty chilly, april baseball in chicago is not ideal

those dangly earrings that a lot of the dudes on the rays wear make me nervous, feels like someone's lobe is going to get ripped out during a slide

My thoughts exactly! Throw it back and be legends. It is wonderful thinking of Mark Prior on the mound at Wrigley again too.

xp I was there in March two years ago (great city btw, can understand exactly why Imanaga fell in love with it) and the wind was like a free chemical peel every day. 😭 Wrigley is on the list for sure.

Steve Shasta outed as Cubs announcer

Ohtani flies out

Announcer 1: it’s gone a little quiet on Ohtani’s announcer
Announcer 2: FOR SURE IT’S GONE QUIET, we were hoping to hear…

Thank you for mentioning the fact that infielders don’t wear cups anymore!

After seeing Millers first game, was not expecting him to have gotten lit up today before I could even turn the game on. His stuff is just filthy.

I guess today that boy ain’t right.

God having an infield defence looks so nice

Vry good game

Omar, felicity, what is that song they play for the win 😭

Aaron Judge said that he felt the earthquake this morning. Asked where he was and what he was doing, Judge laughed and said: “I don’t want to say.”

watching o's-bucs. three rivers stadium looks pretty cool! some sort of octagon spiral staircase thing in left field. kinda like the NYC hudson yards schwarma thing except i hope nobody has jumped from there.

one of the announcers has a silver tongue. i like him!

gyac are you disparaging “Go Cubs Go”?!?!?? jk it is an awful song

gyac are you disparaging “Go Cubs Go”?!?!?? jk it is an awful song

Rays Rockies is wild, Rockies were winning 6-2 going into the top of the ninth, and now the Rays have scored 5 in the top of the ninth and they’ve batted around. However if any Rockie (Rocky?) can walk it off or force extras it’s probably Nolan Jones.

Yeah that particular song really nails a specific era in Chicago music history, I don't know what else you can call it except Northside hand clap music, a really really specific subgenre influenced by probably both The blues Brothers and centerfield by John fogerty and channeled through Steve goodman after one too many Bud lights in the bleachers. Respect to goodman, but it's not a good one.

Nah I’m not disrespecting too hard, it was cute seeing all the kids in the crowds singing to it. It’s definitely for them!

It's better than the Beach boys song "here come the Cubs" (1987)

It makes Kokomo look like God Only Knows.
