We back.. MLB Thread

Wait, they’re gonna get rid of the shift? That’s a dumb move.

People been calling for a ban of the shift for years

Yes this is what gets me , solid hits aren’t hits because of this bullshyt, like yeah That can happen with bad luck like a line drive right at someone but we shouldn’t promote that shyt and that was never part of the game it was never super computers positioning players totally completely out of position on every play , now people want to act like that was always how the games been played just because technically you could’ve done that but nobody did .

Then people act act like it’s so easy to just hit it the other way , it’s not 20 years ago you are facing a different pitcher every time throwing 103 mph, this isn’t your fukking beer league.

I’m not saying it’s not fun at times to see a pitchers duel I don’t want Homerun derby every game but clearly it’s shifted too far in the pitchers direction the past few years and this shyt is boring as fukk

You have regulars in lineups with 158 batting average shyt is crazy

I was talking to my boy about this earlier. Of course he isn't for it because he was a pitcher in school. Same argument: Batters need to adjust and go the other way... it's kind of hard to do that when guys are pitching you into the shift. And like you said, hard af.

Mike Trout has 33 HR.
The same as Shohei Ohtani.
In 35 fewer games.

What are the odds the Dodgers sign both Judge and DeGrom? Of course I hope this doesn't happen but I wouldn't be surprised if Judge and DeGrom get signed to the same team and form a baseball super team with ethier the Dodgers or Padres

DeGrom has said his goal is to end up in the HOF and the Mets rarely give them run support in most starts, he probably can't wait to bounce

deGrom need to sign to whoever got the best medical staff

OPS across the bigs is .707 right now; 15 years ago it was .758. BA is .243 and 15 years ago it was .268. The game is regressing and something needed to be done to promote hitting again.

That's because of home run swings tho... that's all about the BS 3-run home run school of thought that the NYY are still deploying and why they haven't won since 2009

I like that video they posted of the minor league pitcher and the major league pitcher. The pitch clock is my favorite of the rules changes

 

[Canada Goose]

One change for the 2023 season I don't like is every team will play eachother in the regular season.... and there will be LESS divisional games (used to be you play one team in your division 19 times). Division rivalries is one of the best things about baseball I don't want there to be less divisional games

 

[MenacingMonk]

Man, didn’t know Fox was airing the Angels game. Just tuned in.

 

[GilSho]

Trout might have hit 60 this season if he could've stayed healthy.

Seeing Pujols still have that raw power makes me wonder what the hell happened to Miguel Cabrera. He hit 38 HRs in 2016 at 33 years old and then he just LOST it after that.

60 HRs in SIX seasons since then.

 

[Jim Cornette]

Pujols is seeing it like a beach ball right now.. every time I'm seeing him smack a HR it's almost out the zone too

 

[blues_funk_reggae]

At this rate Pujols might get it by next week.

 

[ineedsleep212]

Just give Michael Harris the ROY already. Ridiculous
