Arena The Major League Baseball Thread

for some reason i don't remember it killing me. maybe i had other things on my mind

 

Yankees rookie Jordan Montgomery gets hit in head with ball while signing autographs.

 

I got married that summer, so I had a very happy distraction. But I was looking forward to seeing the Yankees back in the playoffs. I guess I forgave baseball quickly since the Yankees had so much success after that.

 

Couldn't disagree more about your assessment about the greens, but that's a debate to be had elsewhere.

 

MLB Xtra Innings Is giving me tons of Trouble I cant get HD to Work and Costumer service at Comcast Xfinity is horrible now I got Xfinity calling me nonstop and not saying anything at all when I pick up and say hellow, I am thinking of getting rid of Xfinity all together and going Dish Network?
But my question Is what Is MLB TV on MLB.com like, Is the HD picture good, Is there a lot of Pixalation, Is It worth It?

 

it's true that the division was awful, but i was especially bummed because the mariners (despite not being great) had a chance to make the playoffs for the first time ever (they would make it the next year). also griffey was chasing maris along with matt williams. he had 40 home runs through 112 games.

i think ken griffey jr. was really the only reason the strike didn't kill my love for baseball. once the next season started and i got to see him play again it wasn't like all was forgotten, but i wasn't going to miss it. the steroid era on the other hand has hurt my love for the game until this day.

 

Well, the strike didn't hurt the Mariners. They beat the Yankees the next year in the ALDS (which led to the managerial change from Showalter to the man the New York press initially labeled as "Clueless Joe", who in turn was succeeded in St. Louis by Tony LaRussa).

The Expos got hurt the most by the Strike though. They went from the NL's best record to the road to relocation in one fell swoop.

MLB actually provide the streaming services for the WWE, NHL, ESPN and PGA Tour (and HBO). Their tech is definitely the gold standard.

 

Concerning '94: being a young kid (7+ years old) definitely helped in not becoming bitter towards the strike; also, the developing O.J. Simpson murder saga provided lots of distractions, even if I didn't understand most of it/was shielded from some of the nastier details.

 

A lovely look for Granderson; going to fit in seamlessly with this team.

 

yeah he did exactly what joc did every game

 

i posted a week ago on the dodgers facebook page it will be great to have Agon back and immediately i got attacked and told that he would ruin chemistry and pederson or forsythe can't be taken out of the lineup because of chemsitry and 'they're doing a great job." smh

two games back and gonzalez is looking great , pederson is in AAA and it's pretty obvious the outfield in national league parks will be Puig, Taylor and Bellinger.
Granderson gives them a pinch hitting bat mostly i think.

 

I think he'll get more starts than you think he'll get.



I've got a feeling MLB is going to make this Little League Classic an annual event, and I dread if the Dodgers are ever in it; could barely get through the segment about it on yesterday's Quick Pitch.

 

oh i think he'll get starts. roberts has enough parts he's juggling lineups to keep everyone fresh. that's the outfield lineup i'd expect come playoff time.

 

Was responsible for their only run today!

 

The concept and game were fine. ESPN, of course, can't help itself, so it was overproduced and the actual game was largely an afterthought. At one point, there was an in-game interview with Lance Lynn, during which they cut to a cameraman walking through the stadium so you heard a bunch of shouting Little Leaguers, while there were things happening in-game.

I'm sure they'll continue doing this and the game last year at Fort Bragg and they should, because it helps build the game. I'm in favor of expanding it, I think they should play the Future's Game at Doubleday Field in Cooperstown the same weekend as the Hall of Fame induction. But with ESPN invariably being involved, it's going to be brutal.

Amazing.

 

Andrew Miller hurt again.

 

Sorry Tunes. This is almost certainly a jinx that prevents your team from winning the World Series:

 

Perhaps (concerning the playoffs in general for the Dodgers, my birthday jinx is more ironclad ), but as I've mentioned previously here (sorry JEDI-RISING), I wouldn't consider this season a failure if they at least win the pennant; that would still be something rather special, lots of excitement provided, etc. Now, should they not, then it's a whole different story. Baseball has always been, and will always be my favorite hobby/passion in life. Have greatly enjoyed many a World Series appearances from a lot of teams over the years, for a lot of reasons. Would be rather nice if I get that experience at least once* with the Dodgers.







*Eventually, duh, a World Series title before I die.

 

DarthTunick if i ever get over to l.a. again during baseball season we will have to go to a game. although usually when i went in the past they lost.

 

What an absolute joke. A perfect game ruined because of an error. This is why Turner should have been at 3B......
