MLB 2024: This season is already a disaster why is this happening again

Agreed. That's one thing that irritates me about spring training, they have so many damn interviews. Sometimes lasting an entire half inning!

I am also not AT ALL a fan of players being mic'ed up. I don't give a crap what they have to say!

That reminds me of something that happened in the playoffs last year. The Braves were playing in Philadelphia and some of the Philly fans had shirts that said IS THIS TOO LOUD FOR YOU, SPENCER?

I thought it was really funny, but I didn't get it. What did he do to earn their ire?

 

What an idiot.

Him, I mean. Not you.

Seriously, though, why the hell would he ever expect MLB to do that? The pandemic is being managed, people are getting vaccinated, so there's literally no REASON to keep fans away.

 

As opposed to Harry Carey's "it could be....it might be...it's....caught on the warning track !!!!"

Or occasionally "it's...off the wall !!!!"

 

RIP Whitey Herzog

 

To a certain extent he's not wrong. I've been to a couple of post-Covid games and it does seem that there is a certain segment of fans who are overly loud and obnoxious; whether that is in part because of alcohol consumption or they think they can get away with their behaviour without consequences.

 

Cubs DBacks was a high scoring affair, but Hendricks gave up 7ER in 4.1IP. He's getting progressively worse.

 

You would think now that money is involved in these sports leagues, they would want to make sure everything was above board and beyond reproach where officiating games is concerned.

It seems none of them give any more of a fuck than they did before.

 

Up here in Canada, Sportsnet loves to buy YES & NESN games and we've had to suffer through both of those, I feel your pain.

 

Anonymity factor has a big impact.

 

And now the METS are into this City Connect crap.

 

Far from the worst.

 

I suppose they're the least butt-ugly of the CC uniforms.

Just hope the Yankees don't get into the act...

 

Seems like a classic, New York look. Apparently inspired a bit by the subway?

I don't know. I don't buy jerseys but this has a good look to me. Maybe someone can do a Star Wars version.

 

Here's a name I never expected to hear again. Former Yankees mega prospect Hensley "Bam Bam" Meulens, now the Rockies hitting coach, took a video of himself sitting in the pilot's seat of an airplane during a flight, which is a big no no. Now there's an investigation and the video has been deleted. The pilots in question cannot fly while the investigation is going on.

So when the A's play in Sacramento the next two seasons, what name are they going to have on their away jerseys?

Reason I ask is that I've been told that when they are playing in Sacramento, they will just be called "the A's". Not the Sacramento A's, just the A's.

Will they just have special away jerseys made with "Athletics" on them, like their home jerseys say?

Edit:

Hunter Wendelstedt warns that Aaron Boone will be thrown out if he says anything more.

Boone returns to dugout, says nothing, but a fan behind him yells something.

Wendelstedt throws Boone out anyway. Boone protests that he never said anything, Wendelstedt says "I don't care".

WHAT.THE.FUCK.

Even Angel Hernandez wouldn't stoop that low
