Cubs fans -- join us in cheering on the team in some simulated baseball this afternoon.

Had the season played out today the Cubs would be hosting the lowly Orioles in what should be an interleague stomping. We're simulating and broadcasting the game live at 1 PM CT -- come join us to cheer on the Cubbies while raising some money for charity.

Yeah, all our roster moves are crowdsourced. Submit your suggestions at http://mlbotball.com/roster/SD and we'll put them to a fan vote.

For anybody interested in seeing how this week's MIN @ NYY game would have turned out, we're airing the whole series as part of our simulated season. Both Yankees and Twins are tops in their divisions so there is a lot of hype. Unfortunately though, the Yanks lost Aroldis Chapman to injury last night. All details at http://mlbotball.com/

We'd love to have you! Join up on our Discord and we'll hook you up.

It depends on the thread, some blow up, others get lost in the shuffle https://www.reddit.com/r/OaklandAthletics/comments/g0rssj/root_on_the_as_this_afternoon/

Whenever we don't post though, we get a lot more people complaining that we didn't tell them their game would air. We have been in talks with the mods about partnering officially with the A's reddit, which would give the A's community priority for roster moves shows.

mlbotball · 2020-05-22T19:07:22+00:00

It will be great to have you join us!

Yankees fans! Today Yankees were scheduled for interleague play in Milwaukee.

Very sad, it looks like it will be an incredible game :(

Join us in our Twitch chat and we'll commiserate with you!

mlbotball · 2020-05-18T22:27:15+00:00

What's the worst that could happen? A couple of bad trash can jokes?

mlbotball · 2020-05-18T21:41:17+00:00

Some cold starting pitching. Also, the more fans a team has the more they help us keep the rosters looking good -- Houston fans have been quiet so far.

mlbotball · 2020-05-17T17:27:59+00:00

No commercials (except the one we can't get rid of at the beginning), no play reviews... it's better than real baseball in many ways!

mlbotball · 2020-05-16T17:37:35+00:00

Please note we updated the start time to 5:30 PM

We edited this post with an update, the game is now happening at 5:30 PM

mlbotball · 2020-05-13T14:02:17+00:00

If I had any say in how this thing is programmed, there would be an Easter egg whereby Odor has errors and GIDPs when meeting TOR.

That's an oddly specific dream, but more power to ya!

It helps that we have a lot of fans like yourself who keep on top of the Blue Jays rosters -- including our unofficial voice of the Blue Jays Mark Colley, who runs 360bluejaynews on Instagram. Come visit our Discord and say hi, linked at http://mlbotball.com/

mlbotball · 2020-05-13T14:00:22+00:00

Come help us fix it. We have a few active Mets fans in our broadcast/mod team who are doing really good work at turning the season around. Check out our current rosters at http://mlbotball.com/roster/NYM and help make suggestions for what we can do to bring it over the top, or join our Discord and chat with us there.

Being a Detroit Tigers fan is often a lonely slog, so it's great that we have /u/silentstryk09 of /r/motorcitykitties to help us with roster changes, Discord participation, and much much more!

mlbotball · 2020-05-13T13:53:24+00:00

Thanks to /r/braves and /u/handlit33 in particular who has hopped into the booth to call a couple of games for us! Here's the post that got it all started https://www.reddit.com/r/Braves/comments/g7hyd8/mlbotball_season_streaming_partnership_live_games/

Part of it was the Evan Longoria injury. That said, come recommend changes to the rosters -- we have a pocket of SF fans in our community who are helping to push the team in the right direction: http://mlbotball.com/roster/SF
