2024 Major League Baseball season (Page 21 of 91)

Just when our Puds were showing some life, an ump makes a hairbrained motion and freezes a rally into a triple play. Dodgers pitcher tosses a beanball, batter puts his hands and bat up as he ducks to avoid it, ball hits bat and caroms off plate. Ump signals foul, batter and runners on 1st and 2nd freeze, ump then changes his call to fair and catcher pounces on the ball in front of home plate and starts the triple play.  The league will " review and take it under advisement for possible future changes".
Oh brother!

The Giants had members of the 1962 World Series out on the field the other day, some I saw play later when I realized what a great game this was and all the pioneers.....fast forward, I feel sad.....they will all be gone and I too will be history, but the stories of the game I remember, I share to this day.....one story is a game at  old Candelstick Park and Willie McCovey hit 2 consecutive pitches completely out of the stadium, but both were fowl.....McCovey had the most feared swing I have EVER seen, he was 6 feet 5 inches, 240lbs and you could hear the air swish when he would unload.....today he's in a wheelchair and I tear up sometimes when I see him on TV, I cant believe he lived down the street for a very short time in the late 60s, I saw him walking one time and could only stare in awe of the big man with that soft southern gentlemans voice

Oh the memories...."where have you gone Joe Dimmagio, our nation turns its lonely eyes to you......"

Oh man, this is going to be  a veeery long season. Record setting performance again as they folded to 49 year old Moyer. We can now say "We're #1" with a firm lock on worst in baseball. This harks back to the expansion days for futility. I see a mid 50 win season looming. (if they're lucky) To make it worse, I'm caught in cable hell with my TW provider locked in an impasse with the new host and a blackout on games is the result. Well, maybe that is not so bad since I don't have to watch them.   One of my Padre fan neighbors is looking into a breach of contract issue to get sat DTV instead of cable since they touted the games as part of the package for signups last year when he and I renewed. Here's hoping since that would get me some of that Joe music on Palladia, which is not in my package.
Look out Shreddy, them danged Dodgers are looking pretty good. Kemp is already making a case for MVP.

it's still a little early George, but I do think they have a good chance of competing in the east with my Braves. I like their chances better than ours right now. I knew they would be better this year, as well as Miami. didn't count on the Mets making any noise but they have done well so far.
side note, ATL picked up Levon Hernandez, he came in yesterday in the 9th to close out the win over the Mets. I always hated facing him at WSH.

yes, thank you Matt and Melky (former ATL Brave), we need all the help we can get. We get the Phils the first of May, but don't play SF until after the break, July 17 in ATL. Hopefully Matt will have cooled off a little by then.

Maybe the Cubbies will win that due to time difference but with a 4 game series with the Phillies, I expect our boys will be leading the pack at the end of the weekend. This team is realllllly bad!

Phil Humber of the White Sox pitches the 21st perfect game in MLB history and the third in White Sox history. Nothing even close to a hit. I didn't see it all, but obviously a dominating performance.

The general reaction is, 'who'? But of course, a stunning achievement.

There's more truly amazing stuff going on out there today. Joe's Yankees scored 15 runs in three innings to turn a 0-9 into a 15-9! Incredible. I think that's more runs than the Nats have scored in total in winning eight of their last 10 games.
