This is the year Red Sox will save baseball from the Evil Empire Dodgers before the lockout. They beat them twice in the World Series, 1916, 2018. AL East should take notes.
mariners are going to the world series this timethey'll lose itbut they're getting there this time
>>153536371they had their chance and they blew it. A team that went 5 games against a team with no position players isn't making it again
>>153531482The Reds are going to the World Series this year, I feel it in my soul.
>Buehler and Marquez can immediately opt-out of their contract if they don't make the rotationNeat set up for them, but let's not act like if you can't make the Padres rotation in its current state that some other MLB team will be itching to put you on their rotation
>>153536398they almost took it home but dan wilson pooped his pants for some reason
Why is there such a strong push for instituting an International draft? Puerto Rican baseball was destroyed when their players were added to the Amateur draft, and you can argue they still haven't fully recovered all these decades later. Do these people just want LATAM out of baseball?
>>153536466blame woo
>>153536110>One year it's gonna happen. Sorry haters.
>>153536472it's more to put a balance on the obvious bias Japanese/Korean players have coming to MLB. Since many can already tell they have the same couple teams in their mind when they choose to come over, they want other teams to feel like they have a chance of courting them over.
>>153536503It wouldn't really solve that issue, since most of those guys (Ohtani, Lee, Yamamoto) come over as true blue free agents rather than as international free agents so the draft wouldn't apply to them. >The same couple teamsi.e. the teams in cities with notable Japanese-American populations
>>153536478why would i blame woo
>>153536529it was a bad choice when he got injured and sucked in relief
>>153536525i think most people are under the assumption that guys in those position would be subject to an international draft, even if it's not the case with some of those guys
>>153536478NTA but I wouldn't blame Woo, Kirby wasn't locating his fastball and paid for it. Same with Gilbert.
>>15353656925 year old npb veterans would be subject to a draft?
>>153536503we desperately need to sign the next José Ramirez when he is still 16 and then get him to agree to sign a team friendly 14-year deal in the next couple years so we can maintain the appearance of doing our best to try to stay competitive
>>153536590I'm just saying what people have been saying. Because I remember seeing people clamoring for an international draft when Roki and Murakami were posted because they were like "without it, they're obviously going to just go to the Dodgers" even though their cases wouldn't really work like that.
Can't wait to feel sorry for myself in October.

>>153536753It's lousy but it's local.
>>153536801Yeah that tracks. Local beer drinkers only drink it to rep their locals - it all sucks. I'll stick to my mass produced slop.
>>153536631I think your organization is top notch, but it doesn't matter because your history is the poster child of disappointment and underachievement. To the abyss with you until you win a world series.
>>153536811I'd rather enjoy a bud heavy tbqh but I'm not big on lagers.
>>153536811Yeah, it's supposed to be a cheap beer. For me it's Mac & Jack's African Amber. It's been a while since I've drank Red Hook, but they had an ESB that was good.

>>153537047I thought that was because of the people dodging trolleys in brooklyn.
>>153537067they had to find a reason to keep the name when they moved
>>153536972cheers
>>153536472>>153536503I remember during the last lockout MLB tried to slip in the international draft at the last minute. I think the idea was that teams were investing in academies or instructors abroad and I guess they would just pull out if there were a draft, saving money but getting less talent

GARVERGANGCatcher Mitch Garver and the Seattle Mariners are in agreement on a minor league deal, sources tell ESPN. Garver, 35, spent the last two seasons with the Mariners and will compete for the backup catcher job to AL MVP runner-up Cal Raleigh.>t. Peff
>Harper still seething 4 months later about being called not elitecrybby
>>153536360Correct!
for me it's obscure 25-year-old math metal and bottom shelf bourbon
For me, it's Ireland, Catholicism, Fenway, and another World Series championship.
>>153532840The Simpsons
>say there is a runner at second with none out, and the batter is in a full count. The 3-2 pitch is thrown and called a ball, while the runner attempts to steal third. The runner beats the throw from the catcher and is called safe at third, but then the catcher challenges the ball call. Upon review, the pitch is revealed to be a strike. Rather than send the runner back to second base, the runner gets to remain at third, because the initial ball/strike call did not impact the catcher’s ability to try to throw him out.so its still going to let your team get buttfucked by bad callsgot it
>>153537463kinda makes sense tho
>>153537463I mean, either way if it's a ball or strike, if the guy was safe at third, then he was safe. This scenario suggests the guy stole 3rd either way
>>153537463Why should that runner have to go back to second? The strike out has nothing to do with an unforced runner on second going to third.
>>153537486>>153537491>>153537495but the catcher is almost certainly going to be the one requesting the review and they have to request it within 2 seconds of the call being madeso how is the fact they have to make the challenge with a physical movement not a detriment to their ability to throw to third?
>>153537561eh this seems like a 1% of 1% edge case
alright /mlb/ who is YOUR prediction for BREAKOUT PLAYER OF 2026?
Bruce Meyer has been unanimously elected as executive director of the Major League Baseball Players Association, sources tell ESPN. Meyer, who was previously the No. 2 at the union, becomes the sixth executive director in the union’s history.>t. peff
>>153537587Sonny Gray
>>153537561the way it's written suggests he challenged AFTER the throw was made. So he made the throw to try and get the runner, then tried to check the call on the pitch
>>153537561>don't throw ball, challenge call, walk confirmed, runner on 3rd>don't throw ball, challenge call, strike confirmed, runner on 3rd>throw ball, challenge call, walk confirmed, runner on 3rd>throw ball, challenge call, strike confirmed, runner on 3rdi think ur retarded mate every scenario is the same end result. stick to cricket with ur jeet frends.
>>153537587
>>153537570it feels as likely as a catcher missing the window to challenge because they have to throw to 2nd/3rd, which is unlikely but could happenI understand theyre trying to prevent another trashtros situation but 2 seconds feels sooooooooo short
>>153537622don't be nasty, ball is almost here
>>153537622>go to throw ball and challenge at the same time, but accidentally knock your mask down your face due to the combined movements>miss your throw and it goes into the outfield>runner scorescatcherbros?!?
>>153537663pitcher can challenge too
challenge this bussy
>>153537689true but pitchers will be way worse at judging it than catchers
>>153537785honestly i think it's gonna be about 50/50
if you can't trust the umpies, you have to live with your mistakes. simple as
>>153536446? Marquez is an MLB contract and I doubt Buehler has anything in his contract about position, just a roster spot (which is standard for an MLB vet)
>>153536472Same reason owners wanted draft pools, it's primarily a cost-saving exercise.>>153536569MLB would be shooting a talent pipeline in the foot. No way most native NPB/KBO players are going to spend 2-3 years making less than what they could make in their own leagues barring insane levels of endorsements.
>>153537587Carter Jensen is the obvious choice.
>>153537633>>153537663I feel like there will be a grace period if the catcher needs to make a throw, no? Surely the brain trust at Major League Baseball didn’t overlook this?
>MLBPA's Bruce Meyer spoke after meeting with Cubs players. On MLB/owners push for salary cap in CBA: "This is something they've always wanted. It's not new. ...Our union historically has been against it because we believe it's quite simply not good for players. That position is not going to change.">"A lockout is all but guaranteed at the end of the (CBA), the league has pretty much said that. Their strategy in bargaining has always been to put as much pressure on players as they can to try & create division & cracks in our membership."time to pick up NPB, i guess

>>153538121jo mama
>>153538097Yea but him and Naylor won't steal 50 bases again. Pitchers should be adjusting to the pickoff rules by then.

I'm really hoping players crash out and hold out for the entire year. Can you imagine how ass blasted owners would be? It would take years for the sport to recover financially lmao.
>>153538553That would be a strike, its going to be a lockout where the owners are the one shutting everything down. Dont let the billionaires crying poor convince you they're the good guys.
>>153538260This was only mildly funny
>>153538260ZOMG
>>153538553it would be way worse for the players than the ownies
The owners are billionairesThe players are millionairesThe true victims are the umpies who just want to call balls and strikes for the love of the game.
>>153538647depends on if they could get meaningful guarantees owners won't constantly try to chip away at in every future renegotiation

>>153538553>>153538595I hope the owners lock down the game for years until the MLBPA completely breaks and entirely redesigned MLB emerges, one where divisions are aligned according to market size. I don't feel sorry for billionaire owners nor multi-millionaire players arguing over how they are going to carve up my money and ask for more. I spend over $1000 to take my wife and two boys to one game, and that is upper deck seats at Yankee Stadium. I feel sorry for us, the fans, who have to spend a fortune to see one game.You two juvenile dingbats don't understand how business operates, and you are just jealous of other people's money. The billionaire doesn't spend his money to run the team. No successful businessman does. Businesses do not operate like that. Businesses spend what the business makes, just like you do. Small market teams have small revenues. Big market teams have big revenues, but they also have big expenses. Never forget about the expenses, which are enormous for all teams.If you think players should get paid more money, then you need to spend more of your money on the team. Buy more tickets, buy more merch, buy more food at the concession stands, etc, and you also need to get more friends and family to do the same. That's how you increase revenue for your team. It is irrelevant whether the owner of your team is a billionaire or penniless, because he isn't spending his own money on the team anyway. If you are willing to give more of your money to increase the wealth of the multi-millionaire baseball players, fine, but understand that your expense to enjoy baseball entertainment is going to weigh heavy on your wallet. And no, billionaires do not get wealthy from the profits. In fact, billionaires don't care whether the team profits or loses. They get their wealth from using the value of the team to acquire tax-free loans which they use to buy more revenue-bearing assets.Adulthood is knowing that the MLBPA is the fan's true enemy.

>>153539154who said ticket prices are going to go down, fagit? What will happen is that prices will stabilize for years, like they were pre-2000, rather than double and triple in price within two or three years like that have over the last decade. And it's not just the cost of tickets. The cost of merch has become ridiculously over-priced over the last ten years. The cost of whatever medium you choose to consume baseball has absolutely skyrocketed over the last ten years. All of that pricing will stabilize and see only slow incremental increases like they did pre-2000. The MLBPA needs to be shattered into a thousand pieces first.

He threw 33.1 innings, allowing 31 hits, 21 earned runs, and 23 walks, while striking out 42 batters with a 1.620 WHIP.P Alan Zhang Carter dominated in the American Association in 2024, posting a 0.72 ERA with 61 strikeouts in 37.2 innings. He returns after an impressive 2023 WBC, where he showcased an upper-90s fastball and a sharp slider.P Wei Zhao posted a 0.82 ERA in 17 innings with 11 strikeouts at the 2024 U-23 World Cup. The left-hander threw a complete game shutout against Nicaragua, and looks to step up again in tournament play with a spot in the 2026 WBC on the line.OF Samuel Benjamin blasted six home runs with a 1.214 OPS in 26 games in the MLB Draft League before earning a Double-A promotion.CF Xudong Zhu played in nine games at the 2024 U-23 World Cup, leading China in hitting with a .357/.393/.400 slash line. He totaled 10 hits, one double, two RBIs, five stolen bases, and eight runs scored in 28 at-bats. In the California Winter League, he batted .357 with a .400 OBP.SS Qirui Wu appeared in eight games at the 2024 U-23 World Cup, batting .267/.533/.421 in 15 at-bats. He recorded four hits, two triples, three RBIs, and one stolen base, while drawing three walks and striking out five times.IF Jiaji Chen excelled in the 2025 CWL season, hitting .306/.843/.429 in 18 games.

Chris Bassitt, MLBPA executive subcommittee member, on the salary cap debate and why he's against it:“The salary cap doesn’t fix anything. If you look at every major sport with a salary cap, we have the best parity. The salary cap is not the issue. Having suppressed salaries across the league so owners make more money is not the answer."If I would tell you in 25 years, the Dodgers would be going to 10 World Series and winning seven of them, is that an issue? Because that’s the Patriots. The Chiefs have been to what, six or seven? The Philadelphia Eagles have been to four or five. The parity in our sport is better than any other sport."We will make changes to try to help the so-called bottom teams out, but a salary cap and suppressing salaries and taking from players to try to help the so-called bottom teams spend more? That’s not the answer. Because if you’re trying to make a competitive league across the board, we have proof that every single league [has] less parity than ours. So how can you sit there and say a salary cap is going to fix this when every single salary cap sport has less parity than ours? It makes no sense."Again, the root of the answer is not the salary cap, and the root of why owners want a salary cap is not for competitive balance.”

Now that I'm not a neet anymore I finally understand why people despise this sport.
>>153539801I get it honestly, at a certain point you start to wonder if he actually enjoys tormenting the fans, it kinda felt that way over the last 5 years. I think he’ll sell the team but at least some point he’s gonna die.

>>153539885I’m not sweaty.
>>153539894>I'm making sure I have a steady incomecongratulations on turning 19 you fucking faggot
>>153539750He's right but for the wrong reasons. Baseball has insane parity because of the inherent randomness in distilling a 162-game season to a Bo3/5/7 matchup. That said, he's 100% correct about the owners only supporting it out of financial motivation. I hate this league.
>>153539824Baseball is fine if you're unemployed or if you are willing to spend around $250-750 bucks per team you want to watch/support. It's a shame the games are complete garbage and entirely hinge around the same 2-3 teams and the same 2-3 players on the teams every time.
>>153539824LEAVE
>>153539891I feel that. I can work a second job that's part time, but anything more than that I'll want to kill myself.
>>153539824other way around for me, this is the perfect sport for when you come back home exhausted from work, too tired and too little time to enjoy any "ludokino", to young to enjoy those basketball games only 40+ year olds and ewhores like, too tired to watch any hockey game to sweat it out, and too much self respect to watch football.

Everything is just on borrowed time to stretch what should had been a short but severe crash into almost two decades of stagnation.
don't reply to the escalator food, he gets off to attention

>>153545554All sports need to quit with this out of branding color shit.
>>153546131Rockies will win 200 games this season
>>153546131If Coors Field produced the magnus effect and also makes balls carry due to the mile high elevation why don't they just focus on producing groundballers and power hitters? I mean it's the perfect concept. Groundballers make you get on top of the ball so it has no chance to carry or fly into the outfield, and power hitters can get under the ball to make it carry or smack it really hard and hope someone can't field it. I mean seriously? Also they have great uniforms but that's neither here nor there...
>>153546172Here's the deal: nobody knows about pitching into your defense.
>>153546131I'm sorry, but Sugano will be raped at Coors Field. It's heartbreaking.
