MLB General Discussion (Official Thread)

[Jaxbuck]

Top 5 and the ESPN crew makes the first mention of “the Cardinal Way” winning culture and Skip F Schumacher.

They have been duly muted.

Drink.

Wickman balks at ordinary move

MINNEAPOLIS – Bob Wickman has invented a new statistic. The intentional balk. The Indians closer christened the birth of that statistic during a harrowing ninth inning in the Indians’ 4…

“I did it on purpose,” said Wickman. “If he (Cuddyer) is on third, he can’t call pitches.”

Wickman was concerned that Cuddyer could have potentially signaled the location of his pitches to Stewart, based on where catcher Victor Martinez set up behind the plate.

Rays draw smallest playoff crowd since 1919, below 20K.

Year in and year out, they're at the bottom of the league in attendance despite fielding mostly competitive teams. How does this franchise remain in that market?

Rays see lowest playoff attendance since 1919

The AL Wild Card Series opener between the Rangers and Rays drew just 19,704 fans to Tropicana Field on Tuesday, the lowest for a postseason game since the 1919 World Series other than during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Will the Rays ever score a playoff run again? Comical. Giving their fans what they deserve.

A starter pulled in the 4th inning at 47 pitches. Ygtbfkm

Jays get what they deserve. Berriors should just keep on walking out through the dugout to his car. Clearly don’t need him.

It seems putting a team that struggles to draw anyway in the 3 PM slot on a weekday was something that could've been avoided.

The Phillies could've played at 3 PM and it still would've been a packed house.

Phillies game has a good vibe. Especially if Skip fucking Schumacher tastes defeat and humiliation. Fuck that guy.

Brewers vs Dbacks is a baseball meteor game for me although the attention whore behind home plate with the massive cans is always a good show.

Couldn’t care less about the two AL series.

With Arizona leading in game two I'm noticing I wouldn't mind seeing the Brewers get bounced out at home.

And The Trop is in an awful location....southern St. Pete, well away from where most of the people in the area really are....

If/when they build a new one, it needs to be closer to Tampa.

It appears they've learned nothing. I remember driving by the Trop during Spring Training. It was halfway between Tampa and Bradenton.
