Dolfan in NYC Posted August 8, 2025 Author Posted August 8, 2025 Don Sutton probably has thoughts about seeing his #20 on... whatever evil(?) Hello Kitty character that is. Or maybe he's decided to live his truth.

Now, Kenley Jansen may issues with Hello Kitty in his jersey. But, he's with the Halo's now, so it doesn't matter. 1

SirSmUgly Posted August 9, 2025 Posted August 9, 2025 I was at the Mariners game last night. Seven innings of offensive ineptitude followed by an exhilarating home-run bail out in the eight and a save in which the closer worked three straight full counts and struck out the side for a one-run Mariners win is par for the course. This could be the least fun-to-watch baseball team that is also somehow pretty good. Go M's!

Craig H Posted August 11, 2025 Posted August 11, 2025 The Brewers will never lose again and the Cubs fucking suck. I can't even be mad at the Brewers.

The Brewers are now the first team since 2019 to have two separate 10 game winning streaks in a season They are the 10th team to do that since the 1969 expansion

RIPPA Posted August 12, 2025 Posted August 12, 2025 MLB announced that the World Series will start on Oct 24. If the series goes seven games - Game 7 will be Nov 1 They dropped the idea of flex scheduling if both LCs end early
Dolfan in NYC Posted August 13, 2025 Author Posted August 13, 2025 Pete Alonso is now the all time HR leader in Mets franchise history. (253)
Contentious C Posted August 13, 2025 Posted August 13, 2025 Weird there isn't a Met with more HRs than that. AZ having a low career leader makes sense. And SD has just always stunk.

And SD has just always stunk. I think we had this conversation awhile ago for some reason where a lot of it has to do with injuries (or drugs) and folks not staying with the Mets for longer periods. Like Piazza or Beltran would be way higher if they had played their entire careers in New York. Plus Shea Stadium was also a pitcher friendly park For context - the Astros' (who started the same year as the Mets) leader is Jeff Bagwell with 449 (Alonso would be 4th on their list just ahead of Jose Altuve of all people) So in conclusion - more Mets should have been on the juice
Dolfan in NYC Posted August 13, 2025 Author Posted August 13, 2025 Polar Bear got another one last night after, so he's now at 254. I genuinely would have thought the record was held by David Wright (242) or Piazza (220), but it was actually Daryl Strawberry. We go now to his reaction: 3
RIPPA Posted August 13, 2025 Posted August 13, 2025 The Pohlad family put out a statement saying they aren't gonna sell the Twins now Yes this is exactly what happened with the Nats too So - yup - two more teams who refuse to spend but refuse to sell as they wait for Manfred to force through a salary cap

odessasteps Posted August 14, 2025 Posted August 14, 2025 One of those invisible sniper injuries where the guy just goes down.

RIPPA Posted August 14, 2025 Posted August 14, 2025 Amaya is already back on the IL - it apparently is only an ankle sprain as the X-rays were negative for a fracture The Cubs called up OF Owen Cassie to fill Amaya's roster spot. Cassie is the Cubs top prospect (or one of them depending on whose list you look at)
