@WiggumFan267 the Lindor signing should make you happy for once, yes?

Shall we do some divisional predictions?

Fangraphs announced a few weeks back the Orioles are practically already eliminated (0.0% chance of making the playoffs) so this season will obviously be fun for me.

They're clearly not worse than the Pirates or Rockies or anything, it's just, you know, AL East being what it is this year.

The runner on second in extra innings rule is still bullshit and Rob Manfred is still the worst commissioner in sports history.

Thanks for listening.

Rangers-Royals 5-5 after one inning.

10 batters for each team.
11 hits
4 walks
80 pitches
1 pitching change
and I think about 50 minutes to finish

Absolutely. This is probably the most disgraceful rule change to baseball since interleague play.

Watched the first Phillies game in years.

So I don't like the new rules of not having to throw to intentionally walk a player, not being allowed to block home plate, and having a man start on second in extra innings.

The heck are these things.
...
yeah It's been a looong time since I watched baseball (Outside of a few random games/world series games)....but the Phills haven't been good in a looong time...

yeah i forgot about that and raged all over again when the 10th inning started in the Yankees opener. i sorta understood it for a shortened season last year, trying to make sure they can get all the games in, but this year it's absolutely unforgivable. between that, 3 batter minimum for relievers, and them considering banning the shift it honestly makes me not want to watch.

Oh yeah, runner on 2nd is super stupid. I think 3 batter minimum is good though. Makes baseball players actually play baseball.

intentional walk is whatever. I think IWs are dumb to begin with and think they should have a stiffer penalty, but if we arent doing that no reason to waste everyones time

Runner on second in extra innings has to be the worst rule change in my liftetime. I could live with it in the shortened 2020 season, but that has to go. Intentional walk rule is fine though

Fuck the fucking nationals. Fucking relegate these assholes. And of course because some dumbass anti vaxxer nats had to go and get covid, they fuck up our schedule completely, we lose off days, and now the Braves get to face the Nats AAA team for 3 easy wins while we just get fucked over. Shit sucks man. Following fucking protocols. The nats are scumbags.

....... anyway hell yeah I'm head over heels in love with extending Lindor. On my birthday too! What a great gift! Too bad its now marred by losing opening day due to nats scumbaggery.

My general though on the mets offseason is while they did a lot of great stuff, they didnt do a good job of addressing outfield defense and the bullpen is probably a push from last year (which is not good). But they should have one of the best offenses in the league and the behind degrom pitchers are solid (as opposed to abysmal last year). So I put them at 91 wins. Wild card team. Braves are really good and not being predicted high enough, I think they win 97, they are significantly better than us as it stands now. 3 free wins vs the nats doesn't help.. Anything can happen though sure!

Also yes the runner on 2nd in extras rule is still garbage and Manfred is a moron for thinking this is going to attract new people. All this does is pass off most current fans. But I've long since stopped thinking he is doing anything out of best interest for the game.

And I know some Yankees fans are probably just saying it cuz its probably the direct reason you lost yesterday but regardless those people are right in the end anyway so I'll allow it lol

I mean, it sure didn't help, but the reason the Yankees lost yesterday was the same as it has been for a few years - stranding a small army of runners by inability to play small ball when they need to.

They could win every one of the remaining 161 games this year as a direct result of the rule and I'd still hate it.

Something's kind of hilarious about the A's playing music making fun of the Astros' cheating while calling their lineup before the game and then proceeding to get ripped apart by them.

Watch the last 2 seconds of this one then. I just didn't link it because it has the Royals' broadcast crew, which is 18x worse than the Angels'.
