MLB 2021 season: Corn-Driven Humidity

Congrats, Marlins...you managed to trot out uniforms EVEN UGLIER!

Dude, they look like they should be delivering ice cream. What the actual fuck?

Yeah not a fan of those unis at all. I really wish they would bring back the 90s uniforms. Those were always great.

 

[Mr. Laser Beam]

At least the Marlins are continuing to get rid of some of that frou-frou horseshit at the park, like the Clevelander (WTF is a nightclub doing at a baseball stadium? ) and the fish tanks behind home plate.

I need a pic, the Brewers are wearin' one of those really fugly uni's from the 70's early 80's tonight.

Let us contrast and compare.

 

[tomalak301]

I just liked the old logo.

As for Milwaukee, yeah they look like cub scouts.

Yeah nice unis, i'd wear em' but wouldn't play with 'em. Jack McKeon is gone, R.I.P.

They're in tribute to the old uniforms of the Havana Sugar Kings, who were Cincinnati's AAA team prior to the Revolution. (source: The Palm Beach Post)

Nobody's saying you have to like them, but if you'd bother to read up about the various City Connect uniforms, you could at least save us the trouble of having to read your ignorant hot takes. This is twice now you've spouted off about them without knowing what you were talking about. It's becoming tedious.

Mariners backup catcher Jose Godoy made his big league debut last night and became the 20,000th player in MLB history.

 

[The Nth Doctor]

Only 20,000? Seems low.

I'm not angry about these losses. I saw this series as a test to see how the Giants stack up to the "Best Team Ever". So far they have a negative 4 run differential. We know the Offense can be anemic at times and the Dodgers have a hell of a pitching staff. I still will think this series was a success if the Giants pull out a win tomorrow. If not, it's not a big deal. I'm actually enjoying the fact that when push comes to shove, the Giants can stay close to the Dodgers and it's Baseball on a Saturday Night. I wish it was Saturday Afternoon but I'm always glad Every Sunday unless it's on ESPN, will be a day game. I like Day Baseball.

Not seeing anything wrong with the uniforms. Maybe baseball in Miami would've been embraced by the community more if they leaned harder into the history of Cuban baseball, instead of calling them the Marlins.

 

[Mr. Laser Beam]

Aaron Judge got the first walk-off of his career today.

 

[tomalak301]

Not sure I'm looking forward to the "Giants are Pretenders" talk that will probably happen this week. It was not a good weekend, and today was a lot worse than what the score indicates. Tomorrow is a good time for a day off.

That NL West division is insane.

 

[Worf factor9]

The NL West division is insane.

Just the NL West?

This swingin'--upper cut-- for the fences every friggin' at bat ain't our Daddie's Buick* or real baseball.

*sorry that was an old ad campaign.

I'm not a fan of the three true outcomes either, but that's the direction the game is going because of sabermetrics.

I know call me an old fart, but I like teams that can bunt, hit behind the runner and beat the fuckin' shift, steal a base...next man up!! Keep the line-up moving.

I am a dinosaur apparently. And I have not seen how any of theses Manfred rule changes have done much of anything to "speed" up the game.

btw, being a selective heretic I was in favor of the National League keeping the DH.

I still am.

When guys who bunt and hit lots of sac flies get paid for doing so maybe you'll see things change, as long as people are paid to hit home runs that's what everyone will try and do.

Yep, the baseball chicks dig the long-ball.

Generally I agree.

Angels scored the winning run in the 8th yesterday with a walk, bunt, single, sac fly.

You gotta love that kind if stuff.
