+ Lucky Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 This is the teasing time of the year. I miss my daily baseball watching so much that even bits of information can keep my interest. Spring Training starts next week. More baseball news and then soon I'll be back to watching the games. https://www.mlb.com/news/2024-spring-training-schedule PiSquared and + WilliamM 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samhexum Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 I saw a headline that the Dodgers signed Will Smith to a $140,000,000.00 contract. Does that have anything to do with his upcoming Bad Boys movie with Martin Lawrence? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Welshman Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 Following the success of baseball in other parts of the world last year, there will be a number of regular league games in London this year. The games will be held on June 8th and 9th between the Mets and the Phillies at the London Stadium (host of the 2012 Olympics). Whilst these will be shown in the United States, there is still a question mark about whether they will be shown in the United Kingdom (as is the case with the NFL games in London).

BuffaloKyle Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 I haven't played Beat the Streak on MLB.com in many years but I'm trying again this year. You can pick two guys a day to get a hit to get your streak number up faster. My one pick was Luis Arraez who went 0 for 6. Ouch! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samhexum Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 (edited) New MLB record: HR on opening day 5 years in a row. Surprisingly, 3 others did it four years in a row. Yogi Berra, Gary Carter and Todd Hundley (oddly, three catchers) Nobody knows where his interest in working out comes from. I suggest we ask his father: (first posted in 2021 by @purplekow) Edited March 29 by samhexum just for the hell of it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+ Lucky Posted April 13 Author Share Posted April 13 I was watching the make up game between Cleveland and New York, the latter ahead 3-2 in the bottom of the ninth. The count on the batter is 3-2 and the pitcher throws ball 4. Cleveland would now have the bases loaded except that the umpire called the ball, clearly outside, a strike. No bases loaded. No excitement. The last batter limply grounds out. Yankees win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
