Not every team can start out strong like the Seattle Mariners

First place in the AL West has a run differential of -7. Last place has a run differential of -8.

I think a lot of it is a real superiority complex some of the fanbase has developed over teams like the Rays and Jays over the last couple of decades. So "losing to the Rays" is supposed to be some kind of indignity. They're not a good up and coming playoff team. The Jays aren't loaded with exciting young players. They're just the teams the Yankees are supposed to beat because they have for awhile. So its a "disgrace". Which is an insane thing to say about a simple baseball game.

If the Orioles ever start winning the Bronx will burn again.

So you're saying the Bronx will be fine

So why is Yankees twitter declaring the season over after one lopsided loss to the Rays when they're .500 and its basically 3 weeks into the season?

Because the Yankees aren't very well built and haven't been for years and they basically did nothing to change that this past offseason.

I'm helping!



I wonder how much shorter this season will be, in terms of innings played, because of the 7-inning doubleheaders and shorter extra innings. I want Vladdy to get all the at-bats he wants.

For that matter, why the hell is Semien batting first for the Blue Jays when it should be Bichette-Guerrero leading off? Is it that they want Springer to lead off, and don't want to mess with the batting order position for their best hitters?

Neil Huntington was a loving idiot and the single playoff season was a fluke using the previous guy's draft picks.

Telling strike out stuff guys like Cole and Glasnow to pitch to contact in a one size fits all approach should have gotten them all fired years before they were.

Every April that mirage of hope looks might tempting, but I think we know we're just Charlie Brown lining up to kick the ball. It's more of a self deprecating enthusiasm.

17 of those original 34 had scored on home runs and 12 of today's 13 were also on homers. 61.7% of your runs coming on homers is sustainable, right?

Wouldn't the fans at games right now be overall the worst of the worst because it is the people who would attend a baseball game during an ongoing global pandemic? Like how the first people back to restaurants were all of the assholes who don't tip but demand perfect service.

Given that Rosario was almost back in the dugout at that point, Votto could have strolled over to third and gotten the unassisted triple play.
