I am very excited for baseball except the part where half the games are illegitimate travesties because the DH hasn't been made universal

gently caress the Cubs

Also the DH is terrible, but without it we'd have far fewer clips of old fat guys huffing and puffing as they waddle run to first

But with the DH you get to see old fat guys huff and puff around FOUR bases?

As a Yankee Hater I'm not embarrassed or wrong to say Jersey Bro and gently caress You Guy are icons and will live forever despite respectively dying of an alcohol related incident and congestive heart failure.

wow, cinci fans really not turning out huh?

Eh, losing in the 9th, Easter Sunday, and it was like 45 degrees with fog and mist. Plus Reds bad. I'd say forgiveable.

Lost in Cubstalk was that Tyler Mahle went six and struck out seven with a hit and two walks.

I've liked Mahle for a while now, no one would ever describe his stuff as electric but he's got everything else going so it plays up.

This seems like a bit of an overreaction to 6 IP, 3ER. It's not a terrible start.

This is a good joke, but I do want to say that 200,000 people requested tickets and the A’s gave away 60,000.

The Coliseum is going to loving collapse.

The poor plumbing :(

Does anyone have the pdf of the Baseball Mogul saga?

I didn't know there was a saga surrounding Baseball Mogul other than they stopped being assed to really update it in any meaningful way.

I remember playing MLBPA Baseball by EA Sports, which I think came out in 1994, and discovering a glitch where if you loaded the bases and bunted directly towards the pitcher the ball would die and no one would attempt to field it and you could keep advancing runners for the bunt grand slam.

gently caress baseball, let's talk roads.

Asphalt > gravel IMO but you can't discount a gravel road's character.

Kyle Schwarber has a higher defensive WAR than Jason Heyward this season.


Just curious why it's still critical if he's stable and talking. Like can something bad still happen?

He seems like such a good guy based on all the nice things players have said about him.

Because his brain was bleeding and is probably at very high risk to do so again without proper, constant observation.

The Reds had a "on this day in history" trivia bit for a dude named Ice Box Chamberlain who was the first Reds pitcher to hit a grand slam in 1892.

This has nothing to do with anything other than old timey baseball names being cool as gently caress.

Ice Box Chamberlain.

Currently has six fewer K's than Chris Sale and seven fewer than Corey Kluber in 18 innings pitched.
