The last Brewers series vs the Braves was great, because Ryan Braun got injured and Freddie Freeman dropped a bomb on Miller Park.

Rad Valtar posted:Guys I think the Indians are really good. I saw some offseason question about which young SS you'd want to build a team around - Correa or Lindor - and in my mind it felt like such an obvious choice for Correa. Lindor really looks superb though. Lotta fun young talent in the league.

bawfuls posted:I wonder how much better Corey Seager has to be than Addison Russell to overcome the Cubs WS tidal wave of fandom and win the NL SS starting spot. If the pre-world series fandom was any indication from last year, I'm pretty sure that every non-Cub NL team will get exactly one player each and Cubs will fill out the rest. Hope you're looking forward to Brian Duensing coming in for mop-up duty after John Lackey gives up 9 first inning homers.

RCarr posted:I was at a game where a guy struck out and made it safely to first on a passed ball. That was cool! Elias should make an app where you enter the games you went to and it tells you really stupid stats, like "this is the first time you were at an extra inning game" or "this is the first time you saw a 34-year old second baseman hit a triple in the fifth inning"

I saw Bret Saberhagen's comeback game in 2001 and John Smoltz's first game as a Red Sock. The latter was the day Michael Jackson died so the organist just played MJ songs the whole evening. I also saw Wil Nieves hit a walk-off homer against the Cubs

Bird in a Blender posted:I was at the game too, and it also was my first time seeing a balk. Well, I didn't actually see it, I looked away, and turned back to see the ump signalling everyone to move a base. I was pissed I missed it, and they didn't show a replay. Yeah, I think showing a replay would be a lot like showing a replay on a called strike 3 - they don't want to show up the ump so they don't do it on the videoboard. holler at us next time, we can meet up. Really if anybody goes to Wrigley I can just show my badge and come into the ballpark and find you if I'm in the area

bewbies posted:On August 26, 1991, the Royals played the White Sox. I had won some sort of stupid writing contest and so got to go into the Royals clubhouse to meet some of the players. I got to meet George Brett and Danny Tartabull which was badass and I clearly remember, but my favorite player on that team, for whatever reason, was Mark Gubicza. I do not remember this, but my dad was very fond of retelling it: I saw Gubicza off at his locker and decided to go say hello. In order to get there, I had to walk by Bret Saberhagen's locker. Apparently Saberhagen stood up and said something like "hey buddy!" or something else totally awesome and friendly. I completely ignored him in order to try and talk to Gubicza (WHICH I DID AND HE WAS SUPER COOL AND I GOT A PICTURE WITH HIM). This is the best one yet. I don't think I've been to a game with an ejection, I need that

Mike_V posted:Cubs SP last year was improbably good. Now they're regressing a bit and also they got even older than they already were. Didn't they also have incredibly good injury luck last year, aside from Schwarber? Yeah, our injury luck is still pretty good right now since Brett Anderson on the DL is probably addition by subtraction and nobody else has died I can't wait to see our starting lineup today, guessing Rizz and Baez are both out since they were both ended up gimpy from that game.

Citizen Tayne posted:I come here to share news and views on my favorite baseball team, the Pittsburgh Pirates, i.e. that the ownership and management let a very good team sink by being cheap. Anyone who gives a poo poo about decent baseball in the NL should be upset at how hosed this team was over the course of two years. You're not wrong! As much as I want the Cubs to win I'd prefer the pirates over any other alternatives in the division

Julio Cruz posted:loving truth. Before 1998 (which is when he started according to Game of Shadows) he had 7400 PAs with a 162 OPS+, 3 MVPs and 91.5 WAR. pff, that's obviously just because they gamed his order in the lineup to enhance his Hall of Fame likelihood Going to see Giants/Cubs next Tuesday now, it will be billed as an NLDS rematch of Cueto vs Lester but now that both teams are garbage who knows what will happen!
