4merper4mer Posted March 28 Posted March 28 MLB takes a lot of criticism. IMO most of it is from impatient children who demand a sport with instant gratification. That said, opening day should be a big deal/marketing opportunity. Today’s schedule includes: Angels at Orioles Brewers at Mets This year is way better than most so maybe they’re learning but couldn’t those games have flipped who was home? It’s not like they’re not playing each other later in the year. I get it’s not easy because there are road trips that involve multiple hops but still. You can plan the first week to 10 days with dome and good weather teams at home and go from there. Quote

Pretty sure Brewers Mets was moved to tomorrow, just like Atl at Phi And I agree, Atlanta always seems to start the year in colder areas Quote

BADOLBILZ Posted March 31 Author Posted March 31 Nice start to season with sweep in Houston. Soto and Whereswaldo had big series' and bullpen and defense were excellent. https://www.mlb.com/yankees https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/39848939/juan-soto-rbi-single-9th-gives-yankees-sweep-astros Quote
LeviF Posted April 1 Posted April 1 It's early and they definitely stole a couple of those games...but you have to love what Soto is bringing so far and the effect he's having on the other guys. 2 2 Quote

It takes a lot of criticism because it's a slow sport with a lot of routine plays and that gets boring. Quote

Well, there’s that whole “winning in postseason” thing. He can’t hit against decent pitching. There’s more of that in the post season and his bat goes more silent than Helen Keller. Quote

Notably he has zero intentional walks in the playoffs. Quote
Gregg Posted April 2 Posted April 2 5-0. Keep it going. I think it was Yogi Berra who said every team wins 50 and loses 50 (barring an extreme case like the 62 Mets.) It's what you do in the other 62 that determine what kind of season a team will have. I am enjoying this great start so far. Quote
Gregg Posted April 4 Posted April 4 Start the season with a 7-game road trip and come home 6-1. Great start to the season. Looking forward to the home opener on Friday. Let's Go Yankees. 1 1 Quote
Gugny Posted April 5 Posted April 5 And down goes Loaisga. https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/39879321/yankees-reliever-jonathan-loaisiga-lands-60-day-il Quote
Mike in Horseheads Posted April 6 Posted April 6 ...and they get shut out in their home opener 1 Quote
Gregg Posted April 9 Posted April 9 Nestor with 8 shutout innings. Volpe and Soto with 3 run HR's. 9-2 record. So far so good. Long season and there will be bumps along the way, but I am loving this start. 1 Quote
US Egg Posted April 9 Posted April 9 Wonder if Vegas has an over/under on Tommy John surgeries this season? Pitch clock or not, humans routinely and regularly throwing anything 90-100 m.p.h. is pushing the limits of the arm. …..then adding the wrist wrenching spin? Somethings gonna give. Quote
