V: What are my odds of being stabbed for wearing a Springer jersey?

Nah, it's not as bad as it used to be. I sat in the left field bleachers in the Bronx and had a lot of fun at an Indians/Yankees game when I was in town last August. They were too busy shouting at the drunks trying to start a wave to go back to Queens.

In postgame comments he took responsibility for the whole "forgetting to tell anyone to warm up the pitcher you're impulsively about to call on" thing, and also said the Phillies would make the playoffs this year.

So things seem to be going well.

Kapler is being reported to MLB for it, too. :lol:

The Cubs are the most god awful major market team in all of sports. This team needs to be blown the gently caress up. Unreal that time and time again the Cubs who are supposedly loaded with firepower get limp dick bats time and time and time a loving again I will make a prediction that no other team in MLB gets shut out against both the Reds and the Marlins all year. Its not about losing a game here or there, I'm so tired of the Cubs limp dick bats all seeming to get hard in unison or just being completely flat all together.

The Rays are bad and can’t hit.

So I was flipping through rosters to look at all the dumb trades the AI makes in my RTTS game, and look who I found bumming around in the minor leagues!



Wait does that mean

YES

“Bobson” and “Dugnutt” are both available audio for player names. They made Matt Vasgersian say Bobson Dugnutt.

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.

So that’s how they’re getting their new stadium!

I remember the Rays slashed all the available tickets to $5 to raise money for the Pulse Nightclub victims, even un-tarping the super duper upper deck seats, a few days after the shooting and drew 40,000. :unsmith:

MLB Power Pros and 2020 Super Baseball are the greatest baseball games ever made.

Also Ohtani hit a bases-clearing triple today, more proof that Japan is better than us at baseball games.

Orlando hasn’t even had a minor league team of any level in the city in almost two decades. Plus the city is firmly in Rays’ territory.

Which still seems a little weird given the Disney sports complex. You’d think they’d be able to fill up a small minor league baseball stadium during the summer.

Is this where I come to complain about the Twins losing to a team consisting largely of Former Twins? Because god drat c'MON guys. THE RAYS.

The Rays started 1-8 and are 5-5 since. Progress! Probably helps that Chirinos rules and they’re not running a goddamn 3-man rotation anymore.

This loving team makes no sense and I kinda love it.

Mallex Smith's bat is making up for his amazing defense, Denard Span, Daniel Robertson has a totally sustainable .500 OBP through 20 games, Denard Span, Blake Snell is an ace, Chris Archer is a pumpkin, the 3-man rotation experiment is finally over, Johnny Venters is back, Denard Span, and the closer has a 2.000 WHIP. This team is a trip.

Denard Span.
