Look at Ray Ray Run

That Anderson error makes me irrationally angry.

? Good form here.

Capitalist pigs. Lol dont ask, I didnt make the name

They deserve this. Claiming to be going for it and throwing chuck knoblauch out at second base.

Let's. Go. 0-0

Wish grandal would have gotten another one of those overrated rbis.

That is 2 runs given up by the Sox in one game already that occurred because they went with Leury over Madrigal. 2 runs in a 60 game season already.

mlbstreams still exists if you ever redd it before.

Must win tonight boys!

Lucas throwing a 7 inning+ gem, and Timmy dropping two today. That's my absurd bold prediction.

Game time boys, let's go. Let's have a great season of positive thoughts and good times..

Rosters are bigger than ever. I dont know man... with more teams making the playoffs it seems to me that everyone will be trying equally hard.. and with more guys in the league that means worse players will play thos year for everyone than they would in a standard year.

28 wins will get you in.

If everyone is trying their hardest, isnt it the exact same as everyone trying a little less hard?

College basketball teams play 30-35 games, not 40. 30 is 18% of 162. People like the college basketball format because unknown schools and the little guy can upset the giants. In professional sports, everyone is a giant. Basketball upsets are a lot less likely; it's why 16 teams can make it in the NBA and the 1 seed has a near bye. In baseball, the difference between the best and the worst in the playoffs - in a short series format - is a lot less than in the NBA.

Yeah, agree with you here. 60 games it's not as big of a deal, but you could be talking about 10 win difference. 162 would be a travesty though.

This is one of the worst takes I've read on a baseball board in a while. Play 162 games so you can lose in a 3 game series to a team that won 20+ fewer games than you.

I think it would be worth it. You can get some rest too for your arms in the modern game. While the delay of about 10 days isn't great, I think it's a lot better than playing in the first 5 game series.

On second thought, this makes sense given that you don't play outside your divisions this year so taking the best representatives from each divisions is all you can do.

Should do 7 and 8 play a 3 game series to be the 7th team. 1 seed gets a bye to "third round" but really the 2nd after the play in round. Then 7 plays 2, 6 plays 3, and 5 plays 4 in a 5 game series. Lowest seed plays 1 in a 7 game series and two middle seeds play. Would be a lot of time off, but it would reward the best regular season team at least.

lol this part of it is awful.

I would hope the top 4 seeds in each league are getting a bye.

I don't hate the change, I hate the timing and I'd hate if it were permanent.

So terrible for them to announce a major change to the rules like this 4 hours before the season starts.

I would accept Mendick starting as well, but starting Leury at 2nd just seems wrong. Leury isn't a very good infielder at this point in his career and his bat doesn't exactly play to make up for it.
