2022 MLB Season Thread

[BhamToTexas]

I was able to watch a little bit as I brewery hopped in Colorado. Acuna’s pitcher was awful. Rodriguez’ pitcher was fantastic.

Julio Rodriguez is the next superstar of MLB. I was able to watch him play in Arlington this past weekend before last night's HR derby. The ball simply comes off this kid's bat different than ANYBODY on the field and at 6'3 and approximately 200+ lbs, moves like a cheetah in the outfield. This kid is something special.

 

[bvandegraff]

I think I heard on the broadcast that Rodriguez was making the league minimum this year, which made me root for him vs. Soto, who's about to make bank from some free-spending contender. Rodriguez will get paid soon - makes me think of little of Griffey, Jr except from the other side. Seems like a nice, well-spoken kid, too.

Well the MLB draft went largely unnoticed. I only saw who the Braves drafted and not much else. Did any Tide players get drafted?

Prelip was drafted 2nd round.

 

[TexasBama]

Well y’all will probably win both.

You got that one right

yeah I don’t buy either New York team just yet.

Dwight Smith, a member of the 1995 Atlanta Braves World Series winners, has died.

Not a typo. An inside the park grand slam at Fenway.

Red Sox just need to end the season after that. Good Lord that is a beat down.

Even when we put 29 on the Marlins it didn’t feel this bad.

Well, that was partly because that season was so messed up all the way around that it was a clear anomaly; most folks weren't even paying attention (which is bizarre but whatever).

I always love saying, though, my "two teams" (Braves first, Rangers second) have the two highest run totals in modern MLB history.

My question is how do you hit an inside the park grand slam at Fenway… and it isn’t your organization’s first time accomplishing that feat at Fenway.

Also with all of the missed balls in the lights at Fenway this year might show the need for a modern stadium

I was not watching at that point, and that was my immediate thought - "how in the world do you hit a grand slam in Fenway Park?" I mean, that's nearly impossible you'd think. The one way I imagined it could be done is if someone hit it into that triangle in cut area, the fielder leaped for a catch and fell down, and the ball careened away from the outfielder and either shot past the other pursuing fielder OR just died on the spot.

I would have never guessed the way it happened - where he basically lost the ball in the lights.

But it just seems to only happen in stadiums like Fenway and Wrigley. Is the lightning that bad?

Yeah, they need to be euthanized and put out of their misery. It is the only humane thing to do at this point.

 

[TexasBama]

Lance McCullers Jr has started his rehab assignment. Pitch 2 innings at AA Corpus Christi Friday.
I think he might be back up mid-August.

This didn’t age well
