MLB General Discussion (Official Thread)

Shohei Ohtani is having an incredible season. 40 home runs to go along with a great year starting with 8 wins & only 1 loss. Dude has AL MVP locked up with 6 weeks to go, yet he is on one of the shittiest teams in the AL. Its all incredible.

If they can stay healthy next year, a line up of Trout, Ohtani, Rendon and Walsh has to be able to win. Right?

Not with that pitching staff they won't....

An LA Angels communications director was dealing drugs to MLB players, including the ones that caused Tyler Skaggs' fatal overdose.

A-Rod, interviewing Angels manager Maddon mid-game, claims the AL West "can be had" by LAA. Maybe if the Astros move to another division.

Not with that pitching staff they won't....honestly they are about 5 or 6 games better record-wise than they truly should be and I think that mostly has to do with how bad Texas is...

For sure. The Angels have to remodel their pitching staff and replace a lot of guys. They have an uphill battle as Houston is way ahead of them right now, and Oakland is also more well-suited to contend for the playoffs because their pitching is better than LAA. For the near future, the Angels are basically looking at trying to beat out Seattle for 3rd place.

Yes, their pitching staff is horrible. But Cleveland only allowed them 2 runs in a 3-game sweep. That's not much offense either.

But the Angels scored 14 last night! [Against the Orioles]

The Orioles have 1 win in August ... and a week from now it will be September. 19 straight losses, currently trailing again and just 2 Ls shy of tying the record losing streak.

Uh oh, the birds could win one. 4 runs in the bottom of the 8th has the O's on the threshold of victory.

This Dodgers padres game is nuts. Still going at 12:30 AM on the west coast. Looked like the dodgers finally had it won in the 15th but Tatis Jr had different ideas

Another MLB "first" occurred today - first game in history with 3 go-ahead grand slams. Fittingly, the Pirates were on the short end of it.

Fucking A. John Wayne. Audie Murphy. Cy Young. Leading the way like a man is supposed to!
