The Official 2024 MLB Season Thread

I’m at the game. So cool to see dude’s first HR in Dodger Blue.

How much are tickets?

How much are tickets?

Depends on the opponent and if they're giving away anything. Yesterday was free hoodie night. Paid about $60 a ticket (with fees) to sit in the loge.

For the record,

I don't think the Tigers have a chance in hell of getting a wild card spot.
What COULD HAPPEN is that the Twins are so injured or so bad, that Detroit ekes out the AL Central title.

While I think Cleveland has a real star in Jose Ramirez and Kansas City has a borderline MVP-caliber player in Bobby Witt Jr, those teams overall won't be very strong. Better than Detroit? Yeah. Probably. But I'd say they're all in the hunt if Minnesota stumbles hard.

So things just got interesting.
A week into the season the Twins lost DeSclafani for the year and Royce Lewis is out for at least a month.

This is a golden opportunity for the Tigers and Guardians.

and this is why

a) teams never wanna pay pitchers, even elite ones

and

b) why you can't apply a template to every pitcher uniformly. Not everyone can and should be coddled.

Mlb needs to force a sale. There has to be some Mormon billionaire somewhere who can buy the team and bring them to Salt Lake

This is like the Nets promo commercials talking about seeing the other team's stars at the Barclays

When you have no stars, gotta mention other players

THE DETROIT TIGERS ARE 5-0

Opponents are a combined 1-9 with 22 total runs scored on the season. In regulation, the Tigers have scored 1, 6, 3, 0 and 3 runs. Three of their wins are in extra innings.

The pitching, especially the bullpen, has been fantastic. This lineup is not good enough to stay above .500 although maybe they can since the Central is a tire fire.
