MLB General Discussion (Official Thread)

[Mike80]

So I'm watching spring training on MLB network and they are currently showing Red Sox/Rays from NESN.

Are Red Sox fans so fragile they need to have their players constantly complimented? I realize it's a home team broadcast but the verbal fellatio is over the top on this broadcast.

Jesus - I thought Red Sox announcing was bad.

Listening to the broadcast from NBCSports Chicago is basically trying to listen to a WWE broadcast. It's awful.

You talking ChiSox or Cubs? BC Cubs announcers are awful just like their fans

I've been out of the loop on baseball for a while, who the F are the Guardians and when did the national league adopt the DH rule?

Indians and this year.

I'm glad we have baseball and that it started on time, so I'm not going to be too upset about this, but I thought they were getting rid of the "Ghost Runner" rule in extra innings?

They added it back in for this year due to trying to cram in the full 162

I'll take another year of it if it meant starting the season off on time.

It's not like every game goes to extra innings anyway.

Agreed

If starting a week later than the original schedule meets your definition of “on time” then I’m glad you don’t work for me. And you probably are glad about that too.

Positional pitcher.

 

[OHSportsFan]

Oh boy. Let the discussions begin.

 

[Jake]

Oh boy. Let the discussions begin.

 

[OHSportsFan]

And for the rebuttal.







Kershaw himself:


We’ve crossed the threshold where these guys’ arms such expensive investments that won’t be put at risk.

It is what it is, but old school isn't having it. Fergie is a great follow, by the way.
