2018 Around the MLB Thread

Do Not Sell My Personal Information

How unprecedented is that, through 120 games, Seattle is 18 games over .500 with a -23 run differential? I always thought that a team with a +/- 0 run differential roughly equaled a .500 team. Am I wrong?

They've been extremely lucky or clutch, take your pick, in close games. 30-15 in 1 run games, 10-1 in extra innings.

Well it kind of is a fact they vote that way, and right now they still have that 300 wins, but with Morris going in and once Mussina goes in then the facts may be changing but for now, I am only gonna speak the truth about the voters.

Mussina will be in by 2020 at the latest. He got 63.5% last go around.

Coach, you're not speaking the truth of the voters; you've dug you heels in on this position and while it may have been true years ago it's simply is not the case anymore.
 
A's are 2 games back of the Astros...

The reigning NL Champs (Dodgers) have been tanking lately as well.
 
José Urena is a punkass bitch. Hitting Ucuna deliberately like that should result in a suspension, he could have hurt that kid. What a bitch.

That pussy deserves to have a ball thrown at his head next time he comes up. What a ho.

Completely fucking bush league. Intentionally hit him with a 97, almost 98 mph fastball, which also happens to be the hardest pitch he’s thrown all year.

He should be suspended the same length of time that Acuña misses, at the very least.

Don’t like a guy homering off you? Pitch better.
 
Speaking of playoff races, there are currently 8 teams competing for the 2 NL WC spots.

In fact, outside the Indians (12.5) and Red Sox (10), nobody else has more than a 3 game lead in their respective divisions, either.

Should make for a fun month and a half of baseball.

Personally I agree Mussina will make it but a bigger argument could be made for Jim Kaat as Costas felt at his HOF moment

Mauer?

Mauer won't get in honestly. He will get a few votes, but never enough to get in since he lacks anything to actually get him in. Last 5 years has hurt him since he has just been above average with the bat rather than Hall of Fame levels like he was before he turned 30. He will end up with final career numbers similar to Lofton really. Enough to get on the ballot, but not enough to get in.
 
Mauer should get in. He’s clearly a HOF player when you look at the other catchers in the Hall.
 
Liking this Dodger collapse (if you want to call it that)

Oakland is tied with Houston, crazy story.

Houston vs NY play in game should be fun.
 
Altuve is supposed to be activated from the DL today, Astros really need their lineup to step up:

OPS 2017>2018
M. Gonzalez: .907 > .727
Josh Reddick: .847 > .705
Correa: .941 > .778
Springer: .889 > .763
Gurriel: .818 > .717
