2021 MLB Season Thread

The Trashstros and Barfs advance, no doubt through systemic cheating.

Lol it's been like this FOREVER IN SPORTS  DYNASTIES BULLS/YANKEES/BRAVES WITH DAVID JUSTICE AND TED TURNER AVALANCHE/COWBOYS 90s, RED WINGS/LAKERS/SPURS/RED SOX/CARDS 2000s/Blackhawks/WARRIORS/LAKERS/GIANTS IIN 2010s/LAKERS/DODGERS/RAMS/CHIEFS/TAMPA IN 2020S

Giants won 3t TITLES with stolen base runner AND Fmr Astro Hunter Pence, the reason why Giants may lose they don't have Pence

When Yanks started the 30M/yr and athletes get Endorsements too Curry gets like 15M a Yr end result of Teams, doing like what they did during Olympics teaming up with their buddies Curry/Durant and LeBron/Wade


Durant, AD, Westbrook, Curry get 45M/Yr due to Salary plus Endorsements, that's why they pay their agents 0so much money

Agents give them a script to read during Press Conferences and help them, Televise games

You don't think they do that from memory, they have a Teleprompter too, especially during Title runs and they do a speech on the Floor, Teleprompter by agents

White Sox signed LaRussa as coach, LOL, HE IS OLD BEWS THATS SO 2006

White Sox before Konerko won 2005 Wrld Series signed Thome and Belle whom were washed up already I'm 1998

White Sox have two Hall of Famers Paul Konerko and Thomas and 1994 robbed  FrankThomas of a World Series due to Strike

[sting in the rafters]

On one hand f--- the Astros. On the other hand seeing Pivetta win one would sting after the way he stunk up the joint in Philly. Go meteor.

[GeorgiaModerate]

The Trashstros and Barfs advance, no doubt through systemic cheating.

If that's your term for good pitching (in the Braves-Brewers series).

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

These players and Agents and Coaches get paid regardless and they get bonuses when they win titles just remember that

Once their training is over they go back home with their rich wives and kids and Mansions


AD, Curry, LeBron and Westbrook are getting paid 30/M a yr plus 15M on Endorsements, they have to pay for their agents that help them with Press Conferences

Cardinals surprisingly fired Mike Shildt today.

[NewYorkExpress]

Cardinals surprisingly fired Mike Shildt today.

Unless those philosophical differences impaired the running of the team, and it doesn't look like they did, this firing makes no sense.

Completely ridiculous that Shildt was fired before Aaron Boone.

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

It's just a game but Dodgers are gonna beat Giants without Home Field Advantage, the Dodgers are Road Warriors

[Sprouts Farmers Market ✘]

Let's go Dodgers!!!!

Loved the opener, but not sure I agree with the decision to put Scherzer in the 9th. Not surprised by it but the Wade at-bat was waaaaaaay too tense.

[Sestak]

The Giants definitely didn't deserve to win that series - entire offense was absent except for Posey and Bryant for most of it - but to end it on that call is extremely f**ked up. He absolutely didn't swing.

Still, ultimately a season that surpassed anyone's wildest expectations. Nothing to be ashamed of here.

[dead0man]

Cardinals surprisingly fired Mike Shildt today.

unless they have someone better lined up (or maybe if the players hated him) I'm not a fan of this move.  He made the playoffs with a very young team and a heavily injured pitching staff.  Sports orgs are too quick to fire coaches.

Curry sports a Brandon belt hat, the reason why Giants didn't win they don't have Hunter Pence he was a Dodger Slayer, he retired after Giants poor performance last yr and Happily in TX dealing with his baseball school


Hunter Pence owned the Dodgers

Kershaw is done he needs to do what Pence did retire and open up a baseball school

[The Dowager Mod]

Sucks for the Giants to have their season end with a bad check swing call.

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

Braves LOST TO DODGERS LAST YR THEY'RE NOT GONNA BEAT DODGERS WITH SCHERZER 4-1 DODGERS

RED SOX V DODGERS WRLD SERIES 4-2 DODGERS WILL HAVE HOME FIEKD IN WRLD SERIES TOO

No one is gonna beat Dodgers more than 2 games

[Lechasseur]

I'll pull for whoever wins the National League Championship in the World Series this year, that being said I'm pulling for Atlanta in the NLCS

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

Again Betts whom is overpaid isn't worth 30 M and  it show this yr because the Dodgers have the best records but  underachievers they lost the Division

The reason why Betts was so good as a Red Sox wasn't because of Betts per SE it was also due to Bougart too

How do you go from scoring 14/2 and 20 game routes and then go to scoring only 3 runs in Playoffs, Giants did too, it's called juice pitching or juiced ball

As much as I love baseball, this can be a big time commitment to watch a game from beginning to end, with lots of delays that can be excessive (batter stepping out, pitcher stepping off, etc).  The real issue that I have is how these games can go so late at night, to the point where I have to turn it off and go to bed in the 6th or 7th inning.  I say this as someone who lives in the Central Time Zone, and I can’t imagine how rough this must be for ET viewers.

It's very rough.  I don't even try to watch Braves night games when they're playing out west.  Even their home games go so late that I'm sometimes falling asleep before it's over.

Don't worry! MLB is addressing this by playing NLCS game #3 at 2pm on a Tuesday afternoon to maximize viewership.

I had the Baseball package this year so I could watch the Rangers, When they play on the west coast the games start after 10 p.m. here.

The saving grace for Dodgers they go home Jansen is old

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

Well, the Dodgers may get swept by Braves, that's why we say Go Rams/Lakers too

Stafford is gonna win the Ring I don't care how well AZ is playing

[Never Made it to Graceland]

The Rams are really not that good. You need to be putting your stock in Justin Herbert.

[Sprouts Farmers Market ✘]

Well, if anyone is going to blow a 3-0 lead, it's the team from Georgia.

But I don't know what's worse, a Braves title or a Red Sox(/ the narrowly avoid Giants) title. On one hand, it's the Braves, who cares. On the other hand, do we want to dilute baseball royalty further by bringing them into the 4 title club? And let's be honest, they'd immediately prance past the dying cities of Detroit and Pittsburgh hanging onto lore that almost no one recalls and very nearly past Cincinnati.

Dodgers need to widen the gap between the real clubs and the plebs ASAP or we might *gulp* be forced to have the Red Sox do it.

At least we can say Tampa was denied another year, if nothing else.

[Sprouts Farmers Market ✘]

Dodgers won't be swept, they have 100 wins, Braves 88 not gonna happen

Dodgers win at home but are road warriors for Game 7
