TV Zombie posted:5 pitchers for the Mets in the 8th inning where they give up 6 runs. Geez. The bullpen was going to have a bad day at some point, just a shame it was against the Nats.

iospace posted:Because It's probably more just Yankees fans. How on Earth is his MVP season looking to be a fluke after 66 PA's in the year 2018. He was MVP-2 in 2014 and has a 146 career OPS+. Unfortunately the only years he has been fully healthy were: 2011, 2014, 2017. Still 4th best ever AB per HR behind McGwire, Ruth, Bonds. It's easy to boo in New York when the team is .500 and Boston is 13-2. Thom P. Tiers fucked around with this message at 16:15 on Apr 17, 2018 |

Can the wagering goons explain for me? So we got some Price v Ohtani tonight. The line (from somewhere) is Los Angeles Angels -137 / Boston Red Sox +127 --- Over/Under: 7.5 What are the neg/pos numbers and Over/Under? What does that mean?

+127 means you have to bet $100 to win $127 -137 means you bet $137 to win $100 Over/under 7.5 runs means you bet on whether the combined runs are greater or lower than that number e: edited then edited back after I second guessed myself

Would these be brand new teams/additions or relocations of existing teams? Assuming any of them happen, of course.

Cpt. Mahatma Gandhi posted:Would these be brand new teams/additions or relocations of existing teams? Assuming any of them happen, of course. I think the focus is on relocation particularly with the A's having such a terrible stadium. As a KC fan I'd be happy with the A's moving to Portland. They've been kind of a nomadic franchise so I would feel less guilty about them moving and they have those old pre-Royals ties to Kansas City. It's never going to happen, though.

I feel like we discussed the options for an MLB team moving last year and concluded that there were no realistic straight-shot options. Here's a list of markets larger than Milwaukee (currently the smallest market in baseball) without an MLB team: Montreal Vancouver Las Vegas Orlando San Antonio Portland Sacramento Austin Indianapolis Charlotte Columbus Hampton Roads There are no straight-shot cities. California, Florida, Texas and Ohio already have 5, 2, 2, and 2 teams respectively, so it's unlikely we'll see another team in those states. Indianapolis would get whining from the Cubs, White Sox and Reds. Charlotte just had its AAA team move into a near-MLB-quality stadium, and the Orioles, Nationals and Braves all have territorial claims to the area. Orlando isn't a viable baseball market. Hampton Roads would run into the Nats, and Vancouver would make Seattle raise the mother of all tantrums. Portland hates baseball so much that it turned its AAA stadium into a soccer-specific one. There are a number of issues with Mexico City (the peso's in the shitter, corporate sponsorship would be hard to come by, and there are significant safety / security concerns). And, finally, Montreal has a huge stadium issue: Olympic Stadium is not a realistic option, and there is massive political resistance against any sort of public funding for a new one. I mean, poo poo, the most realistic option is probably Vegas, and given the sport's history of gambling scandals, MLB is understandably wary about going there.

Remember, the A's have a site ready to go in San Jose but the Giants keep blocking it because it's their territory, and they have their single A-Team there. A few years ago it might have been viable when the Sacramento team was the affiliate but now there is no chance. I'm tired of the Giants being lovely about territory to be honest
