2023 MLB Season Thread: Hurry the Fuck Up

[Melena]

This Patrick Bailey guy is good at throwing out base stealers.

10 base runners through 3.1 innings for the Jays so far, and only 1 run to show for it lol. They're so fucking bad at scoring it hurts.

Edit: Bases loaded in the 4th with 1 out, zero runs scored lol.

Jarred Kelenic lands himself on the IL with a broken foot.

How'd he break it? By kicking a cooler.

When you suck so bad, it literally hurts.

[Melena]

Could be worse. Marlins 3rd base coach got drilled in the leg on a foul ball and broke his leg.

The Angels owner has just made the fans very nervous.

Dunno what there is to be nervous about, and I'm sure Angels fans know that better than anyone. The team is bad, the team has been bad, the team will continue to be bad. This is really just doing the whole of basbeall a favour by not pissing away every productive season of maybe the best player ever.

[Mertron]

it’s also “we have a generational player who is going to absolutely be out of our price range this off-season and if we don’t do something we will get nothing for him”

unless the angels can convince themselves they are going to win the World Series there’s no point in keeping him

[Obsidian]

I'm sure they also think they can re-sign Ohtani if they really wanted to. They've already had the best hitter in recent memory agree to continue to live in irrelevance, why couldn't they (from their perspective) convince Ohtani to stay too?

[Krandor]

Ohtani has made it very clear he wants to win and that he's frustrated losing so much on the Angels.

[Melena]

Honestly, universal DH is the worst thing that happened to the Angels. If I recall, they were one of the few teams that were willing to let him both pitch and hit cause they could just use him as a DH. Now that any team can, and has seen what he can do, competition has gone up.

[Mertron]

also even if the angels have money, he wants to stay on the west coast and the giants just missed out on sending a boatload of money to judge, so they probably get outbid anyway

[NynJa]

Sorry Xno
Not sorry

Is Judge's OPS actually below .800 or are they just not counting players on the IL?
