I don't miss him. He drove me crazy taking out pitchers that were doing well and putting in guys that gave up homers. He really played favorites with his pitching staff. He won a ton of games but his system failed in the playoffs and I don't recall a lot of tears being shed by the players when he defected.

He's been doing just the opposite for the Cubs. Leaving in the pitchers too long until there's no coming back.

Re: MLB Opening Day today! - 04/10/24 12:42 PM

What I like about todays MLB is there is a lot of new stars getting a chance to show what they can do Only time will tell but a lot of not so good teams over the past 10 to 12 year have some exciting 20 some olds that can make a difference on the field the base paths and in the batters box Right now the Pirates Reds and Orioles are all off to a good start In the old In the past 20 or so years the game became aging former good players that had used performance enhancing drugs so hey could get paid millions of dollars The athletic ability had long since been lost by the time the player reached the age of big dollar contracts .With the new rule changes good defense and stealing bases is a very valuable way of getting and keeping playing time And speed in the base paths is much more exciting than watching and old ball player strike out Many of the younger guys are glad to be on the field and want to win AND THEY STILL THINK MAKING $750000.00 to $1.5 million to play baseball a really good way to make a living With the young really talented guys getting a start in a more
fast pace game I think MLB could be at the beginning of a large growth in the sport With lots of impressive young players all coming on the scene at this time baseball could quickly become the sport to get interested in If I could pick a group of rookie and 2nd year players to play against a team of players that have been playing al all star type baseball for a long period of time I would dfeel petty confident that my all stars would be able to hang with the best of the best t am a Yankee fan but there aere sme soon to be great young players all over both leagues Ad that will be good for the future of baseball

Told you he sucked and was extremely happy he left. Can't stand how he coaches and his analytics. Good riddance, Brewers scoring more runs now then half of last year.

Posted By: salemtrapper

Re: MLB Opening Day today! - 04/11/24 11:31 AM

Too my surprise the cards are hanging around 500, and hanging with some teams. I had no hope for them this year, all the moves they made were old arms to the rotation.. gray had a good year last year but what about every year before I wasn't impressed with that add on, maybe if we added a true number 1 pitcher and he be number 2. But hey they are hanging.. and the young guys will only get better with more reps. I still dont have high hopes.

What aggravates me with baseball it's becoming home run or bust. The cardinals never stole a base last year, I think edmans lead the team with maybe 20. When acuna Jr. Had over 50 when we had 14. Small ball wins games. Not as fancy but you win.. last year example. Walker started the season with him being a rookie 12 hit game streak. He started to struggle,as a rookie would. they sent him back down.. not to help him see the ball, throw different pitches to him that he was struggling with, but to work on launch angle so he can hit more hume runs.. he just came off the greatest streak as a rookie had seen..

Matt carpenter one year led the league with most doubles, sprayed the ball all over, also showed some pop had like 30 homers.. next year lowest batting avg, most strike outs and pulled the ball every dang time.. because all we worked on was homers.. Nolan Gorman is the same way, everytime he gets up I say there a strike out.... last year early he seen the ball and was hammering it to every part of the field, wasn't enough Homer's you need to be dead pull hitter and strike out 70 percent of the time.

Wins don't sell tickets any more home runs do.. me personally I rather watch a game of singles, steals and bunts over 3 home runs and 30 others striking out.
It's sad that they had to take the shift out of the game, these guys make millions of dollars you think they could hit it some where else other then a team knows to stand because you only hit it one direction. Rod crew, Tony Gwen pete rose, would have a hay day with the shift... back in the day no one would have thought about a shift the whole game. The shift was ruining baseball, no the over paid players who don't know how to play the game lime it should be are. Heck 1 team goes in high and tight, both teams get warnings. Makes the other team scared to pitch inside because you get the boot you have to use a bull pen. Bob Gibson would drill the ump between the eyes if he was waned from the other team pitching inside lol.


Lol sorry rant over! Just miss the good old days, most of you are older then me so you experienced even better ball.

Re: MLB 2024 - 04/11/24 02:39 PM

Yes I am a baseball fan I remember when Warren Spahn Gaylord Perry Phil and Joe Neiko Whitey Ford &Bob Gibson owned the pitcher's mound And if you did not agree get ready to be reminded of why that was and how that fact would be drilled into your ribcage That way you would still understand how it felt for the next few days And the great hitters would show their thoughts about who owned who by putting a pitch over the outfield wall I think I think I see some of the old school ways of baseball coming back to the fore front of the sport Players giving their best effort so their team wins And a tp of the cap when the opposing team makes great play The Orioles have 3 or 4 young super stars with Adley Rutshman Gunner Henderson and Jackson Holliday (JUST SAY THEIR NAMES TOGETHER SLOWY BECAUSE YOU WILL HEAR THEM A LOT FOR THE NEXT DECADE OR MAYBE 2) along with a dugout full of other young players just a notch below the stars wanting to get their chance to show what they can do Likewise the Pirates have a really good player at 3rd base next to a astounding star to be in O Neil Cruz a 6 '11' short stop with a rocket for an arm And he is built to launch balls into the stands And even with the new rules designed to protect the fielders on tag plays imagine a 6'11' 300 lb pound player sliding into home plate with the winning run in the balance of the outcome of the game depending on is he safe or out ? And at first they have
RowdyTellez about a little below average player that goes all out all the time The kind of guy that is at his best when the situation needs the best effort possible They could surprise many by taking a wide open division Also the Reds played well the second half of last year before falling back at the end of the season last summer Ellly de la Cruz and Spence Steer burst on to the scene last summer with eye popping athletic ability And so far this year have shown it is for real Along with some other good young talent and some hopefully reliable pitching will have a team to be reckoned with ever time they take the field it will be a lt of exciting games, plays and great young players for the fans to want to root for their team

Cubs have 2 of those guys too and a couple more just barely over the 200 mark. They'll need to hit tonight to stay ahead off the runs Hendricks gives up. He's off to a terrible start this year. Lots of folks wondering if he's going to be able to continue.

Good news is everyone else lost yesterday in the NLC but the Cardnials, so the Cubs moved up in the standings, Still a very close race.

Thompson does things I don't understand. He is big on using right handed batters when the pitcher is left handed. Last night his starting lineup had 4 hitters batting below 200 in it. I think they get Harper back today. Even with that lineup and without Harper for the 3rd day, they would have won if they would have a decent bullpen. Turnbull has been a lights out starter thus far, but guess what. With Walker going off the disable list Turnbull is being moved to the bullpen. I doubt Walker will even get close to matching Turnbull's numbers, but then again, the bullpen needs help. I actually think the bullpen could be effective if it was used properly. Turnbull's ERA is 1.33 pitching in 5 games. Walker will be lucky to have an ERA under 5.5.

I don't know why they don't ever listen to us. lol Leaving pitchers in too long, taking them out too soon, bringing in the wrong ones, etc... same for the hitters, I tell them to take a pitch they swing, I tell them to swing, they take the pitch.

Some Stats for the Phillies. Their starting pitchers have been lights out. Wheeler 1.93 ERA, Suraez 1.36 ERA, Turnbull 1.33 ERA, Sanchez 2.96 ERA and Nola 3.16 ERA.

Relief pitchers used in the two losses to the Reds, Pinto 10.97 ERA, Soto 8.22 ERA and Dominquez9.72 ERA, relief pitchers not used in the 2 losses, Hoffman 1.59 ERA and Kerkering 0.00.

Batters in the line up in the 2 losses to the Reds, Schwarber .194, Merrifield .179, Castellanos .177, Pache .133 and Stubbs .125.

I wish they would have signed Rys Hoskins and traded Castellanos. Harper could have moved back to right field and Hosking could be playing first base. Hoskins is a more consistent hitter than Castellanos.

People will say Thompson is doing a good job. However, I feel with the talent he has they should be winning more games.

Quite a game, they looked good, then looked like crap, then came back to look good again and pull off the win. Castellanos looked pretty good tonight.
Posted By: Nittany Lion

Re: MLB Opening Day today! - 05/01/24 06:20 AM

The bottom 3 hitters pulled it out. Once again, Thompson almost gave it away with the way he used his relief pitchers. They have a young reliever by the name of Orion Kerkering that supposedly has lights out stuff, he has only appeared in 5 games. I have no clue what they are saving him for. If Castellanos and Harper start hitting they could make things interesting. I guess their record might be a little misleading and they have been playing mostly bottom feeders, they are only 4 and 6 against teams with better than .500 records That means 21 of their 31 games have been against sub .500 teams..

This is like the 4th or 5th game in a row that Alzolay has pitched and blown the save, he does that on a very regular basis. I can not believe they are stupid enough to put him in in a close game but I've never been impressed with Council or his decisions. frown

Once the cubs get the bullpen figured out,,, they are a legit playoff team.
The best starting pitching rotation in baseball right now… and the top notch defense of Busch,Swanson and hoerner on the infield (2 gold glovers) happ, bellinger/Armstrong, tauchman/Suzuki outfield…(1 gold glove)
I’d love to see another cubs World Series.
The cubs also have depth… lots of top prospects in the minors as well.
I can’t remember exactly how many cubs prospects are in the top 50.. but I know it’s quite a few.

I thought Kansas City had it in the bag… I could not believe it when I saw that bottom of the 9th that the brewers took the lead.
Imanaga pitched another gem tonight.. 42 plus innings and eventually gave up a homer,, still not too shabby.
I think counsel should have brought in Ben brown instead of having shota go over 100 pitches, to keep his era intact…but he still has a phenomenal era and we got lucky with Busch’s bat

The woes for the cardinals continue to plague them,,,
Loosing Wilson, today, to a broken arm is bad.
And what makes it worse,, is that the injury could have been prevented.
The coaching staff suggested that Wilson move up a little closer to the batter to get more calls on the low strikes..
The backswing from the batter caught him squarely on the forearm.
Cards fans already want marmols head on a pike…
Ill bet they are lighting the torches and looking for the pitchforks tonight

Man that ump sucks NL. Glad he’s calling your game and not mine. Alway frustrating when they are bad.

Off day for the Cubs today. They needed it apparently the way they have been playing the last few games.

Yelich finally back in the lineup yesterday for the Brewers. Knocked the rust off and now offense is scoring a little easier. Also helps the brewers are playing the lowly cardinals.

I wish those lowly Cards would beat them a time or two. Cubs beat the Pirates, who seem to have completely fallen apart, lost at least 10 of their last 11.

The Cubs get to face Paul Skenes debut today. He is the number 2 prospect in baseball. I understand he has a triple digit fast ball. Supposedly has a 5 pitch arsenal. With the buildup he is getting he will probably disappoint a lot of Buc fans today.

Bellinger hit one of those triple digit fastballs 343 yesterday into the bleachers in right field. Big leagues can be a little tougher than AAA. Hopefully the Cubs can get him figured out early.

Embarrassing loss today for the Cubs. How'd the Phillies fare NL?

The Phillies beat the Marlins, probably the worst team in baseball. I wanted to watch the Cub/Pirate game just to see the Pirates rookie pitcher that was getting such a build up in my neck of the woods, the game was blacked out in my area. The Phillies have some sort of a contract with a Philadelphia TV station, I hardly ever get to watch them because most of their games are blacked out, I only ever get to see them if they are on Fox or ESPN.

Looks like they blew it today NL. frown

Cubs did get the win but it wasn't pretty. Even the Cards managed a victory today over the lowly Brewers. lol

The lowly Marlins got to the Phils best pitcher today.

The Mets hit a walk off home run in the bottom of the 9tj inning last night to beat the Braves, thank you Mets, I enjoyed that. We are about to find out how deep the Phillies are, the injuries are starting to mount. Turner is out for what appears to be 5 more weeks, Realmuto has a bad knee and is day to day, Schwarber has back issues and is day to day. Someone will have to step it up.for the series with the Mets.

I wouldn't hold my breath that the Cubs help you with the Braves NL. They have a good pitcher today though, if they can score a few runs to help him out.

Good thing the Phillies pulled off the win. As predicted the Cubs sucked it up again today.

Yes, it was a good come back win for the Phillies. I hope the Cubs take it to the Braves tonight.

I see the Pirates beat the Brewers, that should make the Cubs loss a little more bearable.

I was happy to see that. Phillies play early today. I may watch some of it. They are becoming a favorite of mine when they aren't facing the Cubs. lol I don't care for the Mets much, even more so now that they have Bader. I never could stand him and his prancing around in the outfield like a homosexual unicorn. laugh

Click here to stream the games for free on your computer. About 10min before the games are scheduled to start, click that link. You may have to verify you're not a robot. It'll have a list of the games that are available. You don't have to sign up or register or anything like that. Then you click on the game you want to watch. (this is the same for many sports, not just baseball) You'll see a list of places that stream the game. I always choose "thestreameast". When you do you'll have to close a pop-up ad probably, and when you click play another pop-up ad, and another when you try to turn up the volume or go to full screen. But once you get there, you can watch the game. It's a little bit annoying with the ads before you get there but the adds are why you can watch it free.

I'll add a video to this to help walk you through when the game is about to start today, if I can remember.

Thank you, I will try it for tomorrow's game, Phils won today 4 to 0, now I hope the Cubs take care of Atlanta tonight.

Cubs won’t be much help from the looks of things already.
