MLB 2017 Season Discussion

I still say the Braves didnt need a new stadium. The Nationals and Marlins I can agree with and the Mets...ehh...

Citi Field is gorgeous but I LOVED Shea.

 

[NYwdwfan]

I'm not sure if other teams did this - but Parking Field B at Citi Field sits where the infield at Shea was and there are plaques in the parking lot where the bases were. It's pretty awesome. I parked next to second base a few weeks ago.

I've visited Citi Field twice to see the Marlins when they were in town. It is a very nice field with incredible options for food. The 7 train can be a little... shaky at times, but it's not that big a deal to get there for me.

But you can't beat the placement of that train station!!

collectively, our division's got it going on.

Eat your heart out, rest of MLB. Eat your heart out.

I passed your message on to the 5 Old Coot divisions. Their reply:

Get off of my AstroTurf!

More Mets pitching drama - Mets suspend Matt Harvey without pay for 3 days for violating team rules. Apparently he didn't show up for yesterday's game, which you're supposed to do even if you're not scheduled to pitch.

Management has lost control of this team.

Giants put Mark Melancon on DL. He's their new $62m (4-year) closer.

Ya know...with the run the Orioles are making so far this year (I know, I probably just jinxed the hell out of them by saying this), they very well may have the team that wins it all....we just need to trade for some starting pitching in July for the love of god.

Tillman and Britton could be enough if they come back fully healthy.

 

[Dead2009]

Can't rely on just Tillman though, Bundy is proving to be a legit pitcher so far and Gausman needs to get his act together cause when he's on, he's dominant.

Now Mets closer, Jeurys Familia has an arterial clot in his shoulder and surgery is possible. The healthy pitcher's arm is becoming an endangered species.

Especially for the Mets this year. I wonder if they can just use a pitching machine when they're in the field.

^That was one of those moments where I posted something without first considering how painfully ridiculous it sounded.

Just put quote marks around it and attribute it to a famous dead person.

I wasn't surprised - he's been awful this year since returning from suspension. At least we have Addison Reed to close - and he's been killing it - but now middle relief gets even more taxed. It's shocking to me we're not 15 games out.

 

[NYwdwfan]

Although the back page of today's NY Post did make me chuckle.

 

[Lucky]

Phils' manager Pete Mackanin signed a contract extension. So he'll be with them in 2019 after they've signed baseball's first billion dollar free agent, Harper Machado.

Twins overcome a 4 minute squirrel delay in Cleveland to beat the Indians 4-1.

 

[NYwdwfan]

That moment you realize your team is 13-20...but only 2 games outta 2nd place.

The moment you realize your team just has normal starting pitching and your middle relief stinks.

 

[ShoalFox]

That moment when you realize your team is in third to last in the NL, but is still better than San Francisco

 

[NYwdwfan]

Big day today for Derek Jeter, as the Yankees will retire his jersey number... the last single-digit jersey number to be retired by the team. Pretty historic. Ceremonies going on between double-header against the 'Stros at Yankee Stadium currently.

Yeah they're going to need extra security to check the bathroom stalls after that first game.
