Mega Thread MLB season 2024

[Jatz]

It will be our turn over the next 3 days. We can compare notes.

I wish you the best of luck, you'll need it!

Yeah, Braves are scary good. Our starters need to be in top form because our bullpen would easily be amongst the worst in baseball.

A hell of a call

Adolis García drops a routine fly ball | 05/17/2024

Adolis García drops a routine fly ball in right-center that results in a two-base error for the Angels

That's about as bad of a drop as you can get.

 

[Jatz]

We won today but yesterday we blew a 4 run lead in the 9th innings yesterday to lose against Miami.

Team makes me want to pull my hair out.

 

[DEVO]

What's going on with the Braves, they are getting slaughtered by San Diego, 9-0 at home.

 

[Jatz]

That won't happen too often this season.

 

[MatthewB]

Yankees with a 7-game winning streak, getting a little gap on Baltimore, makes a difference scoring runs compared to last year

 

[DEVO]

Three home defeats in a row for the Braves including a 7-1 loss to the Cubs and 9-1 loss to the Padres.

Philly are now 5 games clear on top of the NL East but have played 6 more games.

As a team the Braves hit 307 home runs last season to lead the league, this year they are 19th with only 43. They also had a SLG over 500, this season its just above 400.

The whole batting line up is horribly out of form including Ozuna who started the season so well but has been quiet the last week.

Doesn’t help when haven’t really changed the line up this season. Expecting Acuna and Olson to keep their insane 2023 season stats every year.
Olson batting .222, 5 HR and 23 RBIs
Acuna .242, 3 HRs and 11 RBIs

 

[Upstart Swan]

A's have lost 8 in a row, and 13 out of their last 15. So normal transmission has now resumed.

 

[Jatz]

Currently struggling against Cleveland.

Need a complete rebuild of this side.

Man the Giants have given up some big leads in the 9th inning this last week.

I should know, I lost money on both of them haha

 

[MatthewB]

love the bat flip

 

[RPCB]

A second ACL for Acuna Jr is just brutal.

 

[Jatz]

Oh hadn't seen that, that sucks!

Not normally a sport you'd expect to see a high level of ACL's in.

 

[Dixie Flatline]

Especially as he thought he'd miss a month max in his post-game interview.

Good news for Australian baseball with LHP Jack O'Loughlin getting called up from Triple-A by the Oakland Athletics and making his MLB debut for the A's in their loss to the Astros this morning. O'Loughlin is the 38th Australian MLB player in history. He got Astros' Jon Singleton to strike out looking for his first ever MLB strikeout.
