2021 MLB Season

[bpo57]

Hot take: The Blue Jays will end up being the best team in the AL East.

Seems like the Jays haven't won a game since you made this prediction. Can you please predict great things for the NYY?

Soon as CuseRunner got booted, the Yankees started playing to their potential and the overachieving Red Sox came down to earth.

And the Jays still have that impressive run differential.

Clearly I didn’t account for the difference that leaving the wonderful city of Buffalo would make.

 

[Cowtown]

From Axios Sports: 40 individual MLB players will make more money this season than the entire Orioles 26-man roster, which is being paid a grand total of $19.5 million.

The suggestion is that under GM Mike Elias they're following the Astros "tanking" model from a decade ago, where Elias was asst GM.

 

[bpo57]

That's quite a coincidence because it seems the Os have been tanking for about a decade.

Last Baltimore victory was 8/2 @ the Yankees. The O's have lost 18 in a row, 17 of them by at least 2 runs. Saw this too late and didn't bet it, since the day I go against them they'll win. Would have cleaned up taking the run line (the only value going against this big a dog) for the first 16 games of the streak. Finally had a 1 run loss this past Saturday. Some books are now making the run line vs. Baltimore -2.5, so that would have lost Sunday.

My fantasy team needed that Eovaldi win. Suckhole Barnes blows it.

Least the Sox could do at that point was lose the game. Bunch of jerks.

Luckily for Boston the NYY castoff came in and bailed them out. Barnes is leaking oil in a big way. Maybe he and Whitlock can change roles.

Yes after they get done beating the Braves set him free.

Me too. Orioles-Phlllies in 1983 is probably the first one I can remember. I was 7.

Fernando-mania for me. I was 7. And I hated every minute of it.

1988 for me. Arguably one of the greatest events in the history of western civilization[(c) Bill Walton] IMO.

I was five when the Yankees lost to the Dodgers in 1981. I remember being devastated, but I don’t remember any game action. I do recall the pictures in Sports Illustrated.

 

[cuseattle]

My Mariners with a big win over the A's tonight. 30th comeback win. 3 back in wild card. 5 1/2 back of Astros
Ty France has been hot. Haniger and Seager with 29 and 27 hrs respectively. Going to my 5th game Tuesday, so far I'm 0-4

Actually, I had just turned 8 when the World Series started. For some reason I had Fernando-mania as 80, but that was the Phillies, which I don't remember but hear about all the time (married into a Phillies diehard family).

In hindsight, I'm glad the strike didn't turn me off to the sport that year.

 

[Capt. Tuttle]

I don’t blame MLB for milking this for all that it’s worth, but there will surely be diminished interest with each year.

IDK. Just went to the Christmas Story house in Cleveland: it was packed. Nostalgia is a constant, and baseball has the most nostalgic fans.

1 year younger, so 1984 Tigers-Padres is the first one I can remember seeing on the TV.

Actually my first recollection of the World Series was back in 1946 listening on the radio when Enos "Country" Slaughter scored all the way from first base on a single and the Cardinals beat the Red Sox in the seventh game of the WS.
