The Official 2024 MLB Season Thread

Speaking of RBI,

The all-time leader is Hank Aaron with 2,297 RBI.
His single season high was just 132 RBI in 1957. That 132 ranks 185th all-time for a single season.

The Washington Nationals are a surprising 19-19 on May 12.
They're tied for 2nd in fangraphs' Pitching WAR, but 21st in Batting WAR.

Of course, nobody expects this to hold up but it's a great start.

Jesus Luzardo is a guy likely to be traded according to Ken Rosenthal.

Makes sense because the Marlins have already traded Luis Arraez and Luzardo is one of their best pitchers...and one of the few making any real money (at least in Marlins terms)

Luzardo projects to be one of the better pitchers this year and he just got back off the IL yesterday, going 5.2 innings, 4 hits, 2 ER, 8 K against the Phillies.
He's got 2 years of arbitration left so I would imagine the draft haul would be considerable.

Detroit has a Little League lineup but Verlander is carving them up with 93 MPH fastballs and 75 MPH curves.

I see Spencer Torkelson finally went yard today.

In the bottom of the ninth of a 9-1 game.
