2014 MLB Season Thread: Throw another shrimp on the barbie!

[Rhinox]

These people have no fucking shame lol. They are seriously patting themselves on the back

[Cail]

Havent watched a second. Sucks for both teams though, with it being Patriot's Day tomorrow, having to play a night game and turn around and play at 11am tomorrow

[BadKarma]

Big win for the sox. Pedey had no idea where the fuck he was going

[archibaldcrane]

Down 1, 9th inning, BRAUN up to his old shenanigans again. That's home runs in two consecutive 9th innings while down 1 run. Brewers ended up winning in 14.

Ah Boston on Sunday night baseball otherwise known as another opportunity to milk the #bostonstrong bullshit slogan and sell the remaining inventory of t-shirts while parading around victims.

Sick to my fucking stomach after that game. I had an awesome day and that very nearly ruined my night.

The ESPN announcers were so biased it wasn't even funny. When the O's were up 5-0 they couldn't talk about the game at all, so they talked about the marathon and Boston strong the entire time. Then as soon as the Sox begin to mount a comeback, they keep saying "Could score here! Comeback otw" the entire time.

The only thing I can say to their credit si they recognize that the Flaherty "error" call was total bullshit. What they didn't recognize is how badly that affected the game, because the game would've been 5-4 and played completely different at that point.

Nonetheless, a humbling night for Zach Britton. He's a very important piece to the team, and I'm sure he'll brush this one off. Still lights out for the most part. Fuck Boston.

Orioles schdule is so fucking unfair, now we have to play them in an hour during #bostonstrong and you know there's no way anyone but Boston wins this game. Then it's off to Toronto for more AL East bullshit.

The worst team that the Orioles have played so far is the Red Sox.

Just got the tv so I'll have to catch up on games via bg and other internet outlets. If anyone knows a good place to catch games, specifically Tigers, let me know! So I'm obviously out the loop on the ESPN Boston thing. Just another episode of a team/city's dick in ESPN's mouth?

Midterm week + 13 hour time difference means I didn't get to see any of BostonStrong weekend. Hopefully the team realizes that being under .500 isn't really that strong.

Wrigley Field turns 100 today. Con: every morning show is there talking about a century of losing. Pro: it gives me an excuse to watch my favorite Wrigley memory.

also "he's a cheater, he should be banned from baseball!!!!"

[Cail]

I wonder how his catcher, Mr. Baseball Unwritten-Rule Enforcer himself thinks of this

[archibaldcrane]

Pretty sure the unwritten rule of spitballing is "do it as much as you can get away with *wink wink*" for some reason.

In typical Cubs fashion, they blow a 3 run lead in the 9th to the lolDBacks and Ruggiano hurts himself trying to make a catch.

umpire clearly tampered with the residue on his neck. also he's a member of the KKK, hates blacks and loves the orioles.

The talk between the commentary guys was along the lines of "Both teams are using it, both teams know the other are using it, both teams are okay with the other using it just so long as they're not being so blatantly obvious about it"

Yeah but is he Jewish? He could claim the ump is an anti-semite.

Somebody on ESPN said 30 starting catchers have Pine tar on their shin guards to throw back to the pitcher with the ball.

Everyone knows everyone does it and no one cares cause it means more strikes as long as its not obvious. If it's cold, wear long sleeves.
