    Re: April 19th thru May 2nd Game Discussion Thread

    dodgers have gone 3-8 the last 11 games.

    I don't think this team is going to win 120 games like many 'experts' had predicted. 2001 Seattle and 98 yankees will still remain the highest

    and the giants have the best record in the NL. and the Royals in the AL who would have thought that at the end of April we would see that?? and Boston is up there too

      Now it's 'oh yeah we got a lead but we already have a ghost runner on 2nd now I am already nervous for it to be tied up within 2 at bats' or a homer loses it. psychologically it feels different. the whole point of the stupid thing was to save time. the dodgers Padres game of 5 hours long didn't speed it up. that rule needs to go. I can deal with the DH being in the NL it has pros and cons. but I can't find any pros at all for the ghostrunner rule


      That’s a stretch to validate your point.

      And the numbers suggest that the rule is serving its purpose in shortening games.

      There will always be anomalies to a rule, but that doesn’t mean the rule isn’t serving its intended purpose

        Cards put Adam Wainwright (Covid) and Andrew Miller (blister on foot) on the IL

        Harrison Bader has been re-activated and Kodi Wheatley recalled

            Chase Anderson and his 6.48 era is mowing down the Mets. we’re going to lose with Harper, Realmuto, Didi, and Segura all out of the lineup

              The Braves pitching has been all around f atrocious. It hasn't really been all too great in recent years not counting last year's fluke, but my goodness nearly every pitcher on this team is absolute garbage.

                  Jays with three 2 run home runs!

                  This is the Jays lineup people have been waiting for. First game all season with a healthy lineup.

                  Springer with 4AB, 3 times on base, through just 5 innings.

                    Despite being mediocre opponents. Yankees starting to break out a little bit. Won 2 series in a row. Taking it to the Tigers right now. Knew it was only a matter of time.

                        I'm late in starting the Braves game, but in the top of the second inning I just heard Caray say:

                        "The Braves are in their heart of the order: Albies, d'Arnaud, and Swanson."

                        Yeah, so much for Acuña, Freeman, and Ozuna..."

                          They are the 4-5-6 hitters, so it technically counts....

                            Games like Vladdys 3HR game and now this one, I hate how they cant play at home.

                            Every game feels like a road game. Most fans here are just watching baseball, not actually cheering on the Jays or anything. The ST crowd for March Breaks are way more lively. I'm guessing most fans here are just locals? Maybe Dunedin Blue Jays (A ball) fans?

                            I hope when they go to Buffalo they can have fans. More likely to see Jays fans there, especially if border restrictions ease up by June/July.

                              Gerrit Cole has been pretty unhittable. I love watching a true Ace. And the Yankees haven't really had a pitcher like this in a long time.

                                I only went back to the 2021 season, but if the Braves ERA stays around where it is now for the remainder of the season then it will be their worst ERA over a season in that time frame. I'm sure I could go back even further and it would still be the worst.

                                This is easily the worst pitching I've ever seen from a Braves team so far nearly 20% into the season.
