MLB seriously needs to step in somehow so Twins fans can actually watch gamesquote:Minnesota Twins fans may have a tough time watching Wednesday’s game as Bally Sports Network is set to go dark on Comcast Xfinity after the companies failed to reach a deal.

Why doesn't the MLB require these network contracts to guarantee local fans an outlet to watch the games? It's money, obviously. But it's not helping the sport in the long run.

The Philadelphia Phillies have had their best April in possibly ever with 20 wins, and are somehow not leading the division Atlanta is such a drag, can Ozuna get busted for roids already?

mcmagic is right in this instance. On top of playing atrocious defense, Gleyber Torres has been a limp rear end noodle bat. He hasn't hit a homerun since September 7th and only has 4 extra base hits this year. Rizzo has been equally as bad in the field and is only sort of hitting. Oswaldo Cabrera has come back to earth, and Stanton is still doing the Stanton thing. Unfortunately counting on DJLM to come back looks to be a fools errand and Dominguez is still a ways away

It's a month in, and Corbin Carroll looks to have crashed to Earth. Hard slump to watch, he's not seeing the ball. Marte, Pederson, and Walker have been solid to keep the DBacks from bottoming out. And, of course, there's Blaze Alexander. The NL West is a won division but 2-4 is probably going to all win 75-85 games and disappoint their fans.

A bar almost touching the ground and they are still tripping over it. At least they arent leading the league in hitting into double plays this year (because no one is ever on base).

I was digging around to pull up some comparisons to the Yankees in an effort to pile on, but then I just got really, really depressed Note that the Pirates have the third-highest walk rate in the league, which is actually helping the OPS numbers look less bad than they should. I did find an offensive stat the Pirates are leading the league in, though! Infield hit percentage!! That surely must mean something good Note that the Pirates and Yankees both started 9-2

There is nowhere to play Dominguez even when he comes back, he'll be in AAA most of the season unless there is an injury. The roster is completely misbuilt as usual which is the Brian Cashman calling card.

zoux posted:What's going on with Cruz? He's still shy of a full year of major league at-bats, after exploding his leg last April. Teams have figured out that umpires ignore his colossal height and call strikes far below the zone on him all the time, forcing him to defend against those pitches, so he Ks constantly. Even without that, he's not a great bat-to-ball skills guy, so this adjustment period is brutal. It feels like he will never hit a home run ever again.

Happy to be entering May six games over .500 and with what feels like more boneheaded losses than lucky wins (though there are more in each category than I would prefer)

Also, if I may lament for a second, I would like to point out the absolutely cosmic level of cruelty of us losing/failing to develop our hilariously tall Dominican shortstop named Cruz while watching the Reds all jerk themselves senseless (deservedly) over theirs, who is four years younger

I feel like if de la Cruz isn't 100 arm strength, no one is. He had a 106.9 mph throw t'other day, the fastest ever recorded in the statcast era. Maybe a little overkill lol https://twitter.com/ShutUpCraig/status/1785266919165010050 Tony Phillips posted:How good is Seattle's pitching? Julio?

Chris Taylor has a -25 OPS+, I wonder how long the Dodgers will keep trotting him out there. And the alternatives aren't much better. Jason Heyward is hurt, and Kiké and Outman aren't hitting well either. Miguel Vargas is mashing in AAA, I think it's time to give him another shot.

Yeah, I think Oneil will sort himself out. Just gotta grind through it. I'm very happy with the Mets being above .500, if they're able to have a winning season after last year's disaster and having a chewing gum and baling wire rotation it's a solid achievement.

He is a bonafide major league outfielder that unfortunately probably lost his job to Colton "The Milkman" Cowser.

The guys we're currently leaning on most for offense are our 4th OF and Nico who's OPS'ing in .600's and still doesn't have a HR this year but he can smack RBI singles which is more than you can say for almost anybody else right now. That the Cubs had as good an April as they did despite this is a goddamn miracle.

zoux posted:What's going on with Cruz? He can't reliably hit breaking/low stuff nor does he reliably lay off it, and pitchers have figured it out. Also, he is not a major league shortstop but the Pirates continue to overplay him there, which puts extra pressure on him and takes attention and time away from working on the holes in his hitting. Probably not going to have a very significant major league career. If he'd come up with a better organization that would have moved him to right field where he belongs when he was still in the minors, things might've been different. e: Rumor has it he doesn't have the most impressive work ethic in the world, but I take that with a whole shaker of salt because it's awfully convenient how that absolves the Pirates of sucking at developing players Eric the Mauve fucked around with this message at 17:53 on May 1, 2024 |

What's funny is the Twins contract with Bally was up. They knew they were in deep financial trouble but opted in with Bally again just because the proposed payouts were higher than any other option and now the Twins cannot be watched locally at all and the Twins ORG is trying to spin this as its "not our fault." Well, it is. You don't buy a ticket to get on the titanic when its already hit the iceberg.
