2016 MLB Regular Season - It's an Even Year...

Not open for further replies.
Braves have lost three straight games after having a lead in the 7th. A. J. Pierzynski single-handedly lost two of those by not being able to catch balls.
 
I realize that the 2016 schedules were set well before the 2015 WS ever took place, but it still felt like the Royals were rubbing the Mets' faces in it.
I don't agree, they won and it's customary to receive the rings on the field. As with all awards that were handed out at the beginning of the season.
 
The Giants might just be entering the Dodgers heads and it's only week one of the season. How can you take a pitcher who has a no hitter through 7 1/3 out of the game? I've been hearing both sides of the argument about pitch counts and it was a rookie, and he just had Tommy John, but a No Hitter kind of trumps all that doesn't it? It's also the first week of the season where the Arm should be fresh. This was a move that indeed backfired.

The Mets received their 2015 NL championship rings in a private ceremony.

Hear that, Royals? A private ceremony?
The winning team always get their rings on the fields. It's for the fans. The other teams don't give a crap.

Your Yankees have done this 20+ times. You're such a hypocrite.
 
I think it's safe to say Madbum owns Kershaw now. Another math up another home run for Bumgarner. He's still not his dominant self yet but he was much better than on opening day.

Not in front of the losing team, they haven't...

The Kansas City Star compared it to "sending your ex pictures of your honeymoon." :lol: And I shouldn't blame the Royals, either. Like I said, the schedule was worked out way before anyone knew who'd be IN the World Series. So it's not like anyone did this on purpose. And hopefully it'll light a fire under the Mets for awhile now.

Jake Arrieta hit his 3rd home run in his last 21 starts, while only giving up 2 HR's in the same span.

Ah well, there's the 3rd HR given up.

The Cubs have acquired 26yo LHP Giovanni Soto (not C Geovany Soto) from the Indians for cash considerations. He's going straight to Iowa for now.

Harry Caray would be so confused about how he learned how to pitch left-handed in just a few seasons.

Cubs beat the Reds 8-1, move to 8-1.

Only that bullpen breakdown in Arizona kept them from being 9-0 right now.
 
Today, Jon Lester got the first extra-base hit of his career.

Later, he barehanded a bunt and lawn-darted the throw to first.

That is all.

But, like many other times in his career, he got zero run support. I was hoping he wouldn't be "that guy" again this year.
 
Former Cub pitcher Milt Pappas dead at 76

Pitching for the Cubs on Sept. 2, 1972, Pappas, then 33, had a perfect game against the San Diego Padres at Wrigley Field. With two outs in the ninth, pinch-hitter Larry Stahl worked the count to 3-2 before plate umpire Bruce Froemming called a close pitch a ball.

Pappas then began yelling obscenities from the mound, half of them in Greek.

Pappas got the next batter out, securing a no-hitter.
