Houston, We Have Rule Changes! The Official 2023 MLB Season Thread

[Remote]

Seems like very quietly Corbin Carroll is feasting in Arizona. He's probably their best position player at this point.
I don't know what to think about what Lourdes Gurriel is doing out there. He's having a fantastic season but I'm less likely to believe this is real for him. Seems like he's worked hard to cut back his strikeouts and the power has come back a bit. I'd expect somewhat of a regression but I think he'll be solid the rest of the way.

There has been quite a bit written about the turn-around that Yoshida has had in Boston. Less attention has gone to Seiya Suzuki in Chicago. As excited as Cubs fans are for Chris Morel, the reality is that Suzuki is probably their best hitter.

I don't understand how Baltimore is 31-17. This team just doesn't look that great to me and I'd be shocked if they kept this up all season long. But the longer they do play well, the more suspicious I'm getting about how they are winning these games.

It looks like Tampa Bay Rays pitcher Tyler Glasnow is nearing his return to the MLB roster.

If he remains healthy for the rest of the season, he projects to be one of the top pitchers in the game.
He could be an absolute steal if by some miracle he's on the waiver wire in your fantasy league.

Less sexy is getting Joe Musgrove. He's not really an Ace, but he's projected to win games for the Padres. There's value there.

I like it, though the black pants and inside palette are w/e to me. Gritty simplicity. I figured it'd be something involving "Charm City" and the Calvert flag, which would've been predictable and played.

Besides, I still remember before the Nationals arrived when people around town griped that the jerseys never read "Baltimore". I'm good with these, def copping the hat.

Lazy ass design. And I didn’t know it was this easy to get something like this thru

Would rather Nike donate 10 million pounds of concrete, 10 million pounds of asphalt and 10 million pounds of bricks to Baltimore instead of doing these little commercials and jerseys.

City probably needs that alot more

This one looks lazy as hell.

There was a rumor that the Mets one which I think would be next year is gonna be all black and I hope that's bullshyt. I don't really get it. None are gonna touch the White Sox ones so just go for wilder more creative uniforms. Different patterns/fonts, bold colors etc etc.

MLB is letting Nike do whatever and it just ain’t hitting. Leave the jerseys alone. Or improve existing ones that suck. No legacy team like the Yanks or Dodgers needs a special edition jersey. Leave that shyt for spring training and get fans hyped to cop it for the upcoming season.

Baseball literally has unique something no other sport has and that’s every single stadium is different with its down character and dimensions. Cook up some apparel and gear based on these stadiums and the quirky shyt inside of them

Defense up the middle is sound. Add to that a dominant closer and they'll be in games. The pitching may eventually take a dive, though it does help that they play less AL East games this year.
