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

Okay, I'm going to indulge in one completely petty and nasty post for the year because this has been stored up for a while:

Haha Astros

HERE COME THE MARLINS

It’s great to see Luis Arraez start hitting again

I wasn’t watching the Cubs-Dodgers game but wow Imanaga was cruising until the rain delay. Shame that’s probably him done now since he won’t get the win if they resume.

The Giants have played the Padres, Dodgers and the Padres again. The Padres are a really good team, hard to believe they couldn't put all together with Soto and Snall.

*it

Jackson Merrill had 4 hits in the game! Unreal.

I still don't understand what happened to the 2023 padres

they were choking dogs

they weren't clutch

heard there's a n*-h***** going on right now? 🤫

now a one-hitter 🤧

YOU

Joey Bart with another "Bart dart"! These pirates know how to hit

Oneil Cruz just hit into a triple play. Vid in a sec...

Lies!

nimmo breaks out of his slump in a big way!

Byron Buxton has an all time defensive play every game. Man is ridiculous

I don't know if I've ever seen someone make that play Alvarez just made - a wild pitch went by him ricocheted off the backstop back to him, then he threw out the guy running from first to second on the wild pitch.

Yeah that was sick

WELCOME BACK TO CENTER FIELD BYRON BUXTON

Baseball is better when Byron Buxton is playing Center Field

Cya later

Jackson Holliday getting called up

might be a little early to avoid super 2! which is cool

(if that's even still a thing in the new CBA; i haven't been paying attention)

a podcast feed of all the old radio broadcasts people have uploaded to Youtube would be cool

current California baseball standings by win%:

LAD .714
The Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim California .545
SDP .429
The Oakland Athletics of Sacramento/Las Vegas, Nevada .364
SFG .333

I haven’t really seen Holliday before and he looks 12

Looks like he should be in a very unpleasant production of death in venice

I totally missed Hader going to Houston, why is he in the game when they're down 4?

Even when you're on a losing skid, you need your 7/8/9 guys to get work.

I like that there's a guy named Shane Bieber. whenever I see Justin Bieber I think "that guy looks like a Shane"

w/r/t Houston, they are currently:

2.5 games behind the Oakland Athletics of Sacramento/Las Vegas
4 games behind the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim California

If it wasn't for the White Sox (2-11), the Astros would have the worst record in the AL (4-11).

Angels are .5 game out of first in the ALWest. #freeIppei

Rough inning for third baseman and pitcher Zach McKinstry

Twins Top 12th
Ryan Jeffers reaches on a fielding error by third baseman Zach McKinstry. Willi Castro scores. Christian Vázquez scores. Austin Martin scores. Ryan Jeffers to 2nd.

Z. McKinstry pitching for DET

Matt Wallner homers (1) on a fly ball to right field. Ryan Jeffers scores. Manuel Margot scores.

over/under on a dodgers/padres game being delayed due to rain? doesn't matter who's home. wonder how many times that's happened.

Will Smith calling JProfar "irrelevant" is gonna come back to haunt him (WS) imho.

cutch 300 homers <3

Was hoping to see that next week but good for him I guess :(

JProfar didn’t wait

He missed a GS by about 15".

That would have been the end of the season.

Turns out Soto was what was holding this Padres team back

Will Smith calling JProfar "irrelevant" is gonna come back to haunt him (WS) imho.

profar getting pissy about an inside fastball when the pitcher had a perfect game going was next-level

Oh he’s a clown no doubt but it’s the bulletin board material thing isn’t it

Hader got lit up

My condolences

Earned runs Hader has allowed:

2023: 8
2024: also 8
