2016 MLB Regular Season Thread: I'm the Captain now

[Cail]

Tim Lincecum 1 year to the Angels

[Akiyama]

Braves fired Fredi Gonzalez

Thank the lord.

[Cail]

Joe Nathan signs with the Cubs

[Cail]

Odor suspended 8 games

[Melena]

Odor suspended 8 games

And Bautista gets 1

[Obsidian]

Odor got 8, Gibbons and Chavez got 3, Bautista, Andrus and Leiper all got 1 game, and a bunch of players and staff were fined.

Personally, I think it's a joke that Banister didn't even get a fine, but whatever.

Chris Sale is just outright destroying the American League. He's given up as many runs in his last 7 starts as he did the first two starts combined which is nuts.

THEO

So the Padres invited a gay mens choir to perform the national anthem, and while they were out on the field, a woman singing the anthem was played through the PA system. Padres blame it on their contractor, but I think Manfred should come down hard on them to remind the teams they are responsible for the actions of all employees, including contractors.

lol

lol

to be clear, the lol is because you posted about his avg a month into the season projecting MVP. THis lol is because it's May. At least wait until July, but really it doesn't matter until September.

[archibaldcrane]

Well, it's never going to matter for MVP voting even if he's #1 in baseball because the Brewers are bad this year.

[Obsidian]

Kershaw has more shutouts (3) than walks (2) this month.

[Soa]

Gotta Love Jeffrey Loria

[Obsidian]

It blows my mind that they upheld Bautista's 1 game suspension but reduced Odor's by one game.

What the fuck, MLB.

[Obsidian]

Red Sox catcher literally just cost them the game.

[NynJa]

Thor ejected for throwing behind Utley...yet Bush got a warning for actually hitting Bautista. I know, they're trying to adjust the precedent they set, but considering Thor didnt even hit Utley, a warning would suffice.

MLB isnt even trying to hide their bias against Toronto lol

[Obsidian]

White Sox blew a 6 run lead in the bottom of the 9th. Teams down 6 runs in the bottom of the 9th are a combined 5-2810 since 2010.

Bad day to be any kind of Sox, I guess.
