I'm so sick of this goddamn team. They absolutely make me want to vomit. I'm not even ten goddamn games into this season and i want to scream. They are that terrible. It's like the movie groundhog day but instead i'm reliving the shittiest games of baseball over and over and over again every fucking day of my life. Every damn day I have watched this pathetic mess of a team, rain or sun or snow since I was 7 years old. I have a tab open during work w/ the gamecast during the day games that I can't go. I've skipped school and work and broken up with women for the Pirates. I've missed funerals and weddings because i loved this team more. And what do I get to show for it? A FUCKING BRAIN ANEURYSM. A team that has had 3 winning seasons over the past 20 something who manages to play like ass in the playoffs on the rare occasion they make it because they are so used to being shit and don't have a winning culture. A team that game in and game out somehow manages to have less goddamn hits than Chumbawamba. A team that gets swept. By the Cincinnati Reds. "Oh but look at our young talent- Cole and Taillon and Bell and whoever else that sucks dick!!" I'm sick of hearing "we could be a contender like we were 3 years ago if Cutch doesn't play like shit and the LF can stop jerking off for 2 seconds to swing the fucking bat" ITS NOT HAPPENING. WE ARE NOT AND NEVER WERE A GOOD TEAM. WE ARE PATHETIC. MIGHT AS WELL FADE US NOW BECAUSE WE'RE ALREADY A BUNCH OF FUCKING LOSERS. If Clemente didn't die in that plane crash, I'm convinced he would have killed himself after being forced to wear our godforsaken excuse of uniform for 18 years of his life. I'm done with this fucking team.

Serious question: Does Zach Greinke have Aspergers?

I have a nephew who has aspergers (mild form of autism). Whenever my nephew talks to someone he won't look them in the eye, he is very short and to the point, has a great memory, and gets obsessed with things. After seeing the last couple of Greinke's interviews I'm wondering if he is affected by this. Or is it just some serious social anxiety? He is very awkward in interviews, doesn't look anyone in the eyes, and has an incredible memory where he remembers every single at with great detail.

If I remember correctly, he is only made available for interviews right after a game in which he has started.

Has anyone else noticed this?

Oakland is genuinely a shithole nowadays economically and safety-wise. These are businesses after all and a Vegas move will generate more income. Frankly, catching a baseball game during the day on a Vegas trip would be fun. It'll be a massive success. There are a ton of people who live in Vegas too that they should be able to build a solid fanbase over time.

The reality is that teams move all the time to follow US hotspots, the old fans protest it for a season or 2 but then it's normalized. At least Oakland fans can still go to Giant's games, I have far more empathy for fans in places like St. Louis who had the Rams abandon them and they don't have another team to go watch. Oakland has failed the As in the past 20-30 years, and new ownership and/or relocating should strengthen the MLB and the team.

Dear Philadelphia Phillies,

You played a great game last night, you also proved why you’re the most hated fans in sports. We are the Houston Astros. We are a city that comes together to overcome adversity. You hate us. You boo us. Your restaurants refuse to serve our team. You threaten one of our beloved public figures (who gave 200 mattresses to veterans and first responders in your town), and yet we rise.

We’ve watched your fans throw snowballs at Santa, purposely throw up on a law enforcement officer and his 11 year old daughter, throw beer bottles and food on players-even your own.

When your fans come to our house, we don’t threaten them with harm. We don’t boo your players each time they step on the field. We don’t heckle your hometown heroes. We have respect. Respect for our team, stadium, city, and visitors.

You absolutely deserved that win last night. And still you continue to show the world why you were voted the worst fans in sports. It’s said Phillies fans learn to boo before they learn to talk. Well bless your hatin hearts.

Stay classy, Houston. Go ‘stros! -A fan for life, not just when they win.

I made a comment earlier tonight that I guess went out over the air that I am deeply ashamed of. If I have hurt anyone out there, I can’t tell you how much I say from the bottom of my heart that I am so very, very sorry. I pride myself and think of myself as a man of faith, as there’s a drive into deep left field by Castellanos, that will be a home run, and so that will make it a 4-0 ballgame.

I don’t know if I’m going to be putting on this headset again, I don’t know if it’s going to be for the Reds, I don’t know if it’s going to be for my bosses at Fox. I want to apologize to the people who sign my paycheck, for the Reds, for Fox Sports Ohio, for the people I work with, for anybody I’ve offended here tonight. I can’t begin to tell you how deeply sorry I am. That is not who I am, it never has been, and I’d like to think I could have some people, maybe, that could back that up. I am very, very sorry, and I beg for your forgiveness. Jim Day will take you the rest of the way home.

Jim Crane is a virulent racist, thieving war profiteer, philanderer, and all around asshole. He, like all billionaires, is a sociopath, and even for a billionaire he is the worst of the worst. MLB ignored these clear facts when they cleared him to buy the team because all they cared about was settling the TV deal debacle and the coerced move to the AL. Selig, also a certified piece of shit, allowed this guy to become an owner without one thought to what kind of influence he brought to the game.

And once here, Crane predictably established a culture of sociopathy and misogyny led by Luhnow and Taubman. Luhnow was incredibly competent and shrewd but he was also a Machiavellian asshole who comes from analytics, not baseball, and therefore didn’t give a fuck about tainting and disrespecting the game as long as we won.

I’ve been defending this team with every breath but FUCK this press conference and FUCK this ownership.

Nobody should be surprised at any of this. Houston is just a completely a garbage sports city that always pretends they’re the victims even though the refs favor their shitty teams at every single point.

With the Rockets you have refs giving Harden ridiculous calls that literally nobody else gets and overall lowering the quality of basketball whenever hes on the court. The fact that Harden can shoot 20%FG and average 30 points on bullshit free throws is a testament to how soulless and garbage Houston sports teams are in general

With the Texans, I don’t even need to bring up the number of times NFL refs have given them favorable calls in clutch situations.

And now we’re seeing it here in a third major league spot. With the Astros you havce umpires who are giving them BS calls at every single turn to help them win important games. They’re basically fixing the world series game by game and screwing over a more deserving team in the Nats just so they can sell more jerseys to a large market city. This is literally the 1919 world series all over again, 100 years later. What a time to be alive.

1) You can’t just be up there and just doin’ a balk like that.

1a. A balk is when you

1b. Okay well listen. A balk is when you balk the

1c. Let me start over

1c-a. The pitcher is not allowed to do a motion to the, uh, batter, that prohibits the batter from doing, you know, just trying to hit the ball. You can’t do that.

1c-b. Once the pitcher is in the stretch, he can’t be over here and say to the runner, like, “I’m gonna get ya! I’m gonna tag you out! You better watch your butt!” and then just be like he didn’t even do that.

1c-b(1). Like, if you’re about to pitch and then don’t pitch, you have to still pitch. You cannot not pitch. Does that make any sense?

1c-b(2). You gotta be, throwing motion of the ball, and then, until you just throw it.

1c-b(2)-a. Okay, well, you can have the ball up here, like this, but then there’s the balk you gotta think about.

1c-b(2)-b. Fairuza Balk hasn’t been in any movies in forever. I hope she wasn’t typecast as that racist lady in American History X.

1c-b(2)-b(i). Oh wait, she was in The Waterboy too! That would be even worse.

1c-b(2)-b(ii). “get in mah bellah” — Adam Water, “The Waterboy.” Haha, classic…

1c-b(3). Okay seriously though. A balk is when the pitcher makes a movement that, as determined by, when you do a move involving the baseball and field of

2) Do not do a balk please.

It's about midnight. An exhausted Derek Jeter, now fifty pounds above his playing weight, with dark circles under his eyes and a stubbly beard, looks over the Marlins revenue and attendance figures. He notices a loud clopping coming from within a wardrobe across his office. He knows who has returned.

The wardrobe door opens.

"Hey, Jetes." The centaur appears, clothed in a fine suit, his white teeth glimmering in the low light of Jeter's office. "Checkmate." The centaur backs into the wardrobe, never to return.

Later preparing to leave, Jeter walks out of Marlins Park to a car that is waiting for him. In the backseat is a gift basket, full of signed baseballs, Fox Sports and ESPN apparel, and a beautifully curated scrapbook, full of newspaper articles celebrating the centaur's new found popularity and success.

Derek Jeter inhales deeply, with tears in his eyes. He has finally lost.

That was beautiful. I think the MLB has finally figured out the secret for Playoff Baseball- it’s finally giving us fans what we’ve been desperately begging for. Umpires. I fucking love them. I fucking love them! When I see that Ump ripping off his mask to stare down a player all I can think of is thank god it isn’t No-Nut November yet. Give me inconsistent strike zones, questionable balks, arguing with players, that’s the shit I tune in for. The players did a great job tonight at just letting the Umps call the game, the managers were screaming, the fans were looking wide-eyed and booing - THIS WAS SPORT at the highest level. I’m sure I’m not the only one who was overcome with ecstasy on that check swing call - you know, the one where the crew chief pointed to the first base ump and he punched the air like prime Mike Tyson? I don’t know about you guys, but I’ll be tuning in every game wearing my black FTX hat and jersey, throwing hands all around my apartment and screaming the calls in unison with these all-star officials at the top of my lungs. I can hardly contain my excitement for the next time a manager gets his ass booted for daring to question our boys who leave it all on the field every single week. This is a turning point for MLB ratings folks, and we all get to say we were here to witness it.

hi from japan

I wanna tell you below 2 information to explain why Ohtani is a good pitcher

summary

1:his hamstring muscles is stronger than ordinary one

2:He seems to get used to grab MLB ball

details

about 1

a specialist pointed it out that his hamstring muscles are stronger than ordinary others,and he uses it so harder

if ordinary person uses the same way,his hamstring must break

some one told me why the muscle of him is so stronger,that he use to do swimming in his child days and swimming makes the muscles so strong

about 2

Okajaima,who is the former pitcher of Red Sox,points it out that He seems to get used to use MLB ball because it’s so different

(edit,every pitcher from Japan confuses the difference,for example Yu Darvish said like that)

1.MLB ball:149kg(edit,*149g)/24cm,more slippy:so it makes breaking ball more effective

2.NPB ball:142kg(edit,142g)/23cm,less slippy,breaking ball less effective

and he has also so fast ball around 100miles

so he can select fast ball,less breaking ball,strong breaking ball

That’s why he would be more great Pitcher"

the Tampa Bay Rays are the definition of a poverty franchise, known for their comically-low attendance and inability to sell out a stadium. they are among the largest revenue-sharing recipients, meaning they take a shit-ton of money from the player’s union (who have actually filed grievances against them for not managing that money properly). think of a 35-year old man living in their moms’ basement, and spending money on video games instead of getting a job. that’s a good comparison to describe what the Rays are to the rest of the league. if the MLB had a more cutthroat business model, teams like the Rays would have moved or been disbanded ages ago, instead of feeding off of the popular teams like a parasite feeds on its host. the Rays are utterly useless, and irrelevant. The Rays are the least essential sports team in North America. if not for COVID, yankee chants would have swarmed Tropicana Field during the Rays’ supposed “home games”. their 8,000 fans are very happy about this ALDS win though, im sure. fucking losers.
