2024 Other Games/Playoffs

The showdown between the Dodgers lineup and "Miles Mikolas: Opening Day Starter" is going about the way you'd expect

[squally1313]

The Angels starting off the year by being more on brand than anyone possibly could be, losing 8-1 in the 7th with the sole run coming off a solo Trout home run in the first. 

[Derwood]

D-Backs are 16 for 23 with 16 runs in the first 3+ innings

[Derwood]

Matt Chapman had 2 HR, 5 RBI last night

JD Davis hit 2 HR as well

OMG CUBS WOULD BE 10-0 ALREADY WITH THESE GUUUUYS

Early things I did  not expect. the Astros being 0-4, the Pirates being 5-0 and Mookie Betts being at 1 fWAR after 6 games.

On opening day I saw one of the writers I follow (Mike Petriello?) do his bold predictions and one of them was "Mike Trout has one more legendary season in him" and man I really really want that to happen.  Good start.

Marlins 0-7. Ouch

[PackLandVA]

One week in the books, and the Tigers, Marlins, and Mets remain the only “perfect” records. Sort of.

[PackLandVA]

Rockies home opener, and they take a 6-2 lead into the top of the 9th. Bullpen implodes and gives up 5 runs, Rays take7-6 lead. Bottom of 9th and the Rays walk three straight batters.  KB up to bat - stand by…..

[PackLandVA]

Kbwhiffs on three breaking balls, but Ryan McMahon walks it off with GS off of former Cub Jason Adam.

Javy Baez is beyond cooked

And he’s still due $98M through the 2027 season.

In the early going Javy is chasing 55% of pitches out of the zone, which is astronomical

Going all the way back to 2008 when high quality pitch tracking is available only four guys with at least 150 PAs have ever cracked the 50% barrier, and the worst is 2008 Pablo Sandoval at 53%.  

[Derwood]

He has 5 hits, 11 K's, 0 BB's, and an OPS in the low .300's.

[Bertz]

 

I think the Astros actually being bad is more likely than the Royals actually being good, especially since you can so directly point at a list of injuries a mile long, but wowza.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Funny enough, I had already started pondering the prospect cost to get the Astros to give up Pressly + cash at the deadline if they're out of it.

[Derwood]

Jordan Montgomery fired Boras (lol)

[Derwood]

The Reds' lineup construction sure is....something

[Derwood]

White Sox with 2 hits and 15 K’s

That feels like a balk
