MLB - Triumph and Tragedy in Mudville

We're about two and a half weeks from pitchers and catchers reporting, which is a date that I look forward to every year and then say "Actually this sucks, hurry up."

The Giants signed Harrison Bader, who was a Cardinal for six years, and even though he's been on three other teams since then, I've said "Fuck you, Bader" too many times to be happy about it.

Also, not for nothing, but as we are entering the season, like the leaves changing, when the feral and arm's-length Eagles fans transform into the lovable Phillies fans.
So, welcome back.
Cardinals, Red Sox, Braves, eat garbage.

Enjoy it, I doubt there will be baseball in 2027.

Without a salary cap, MLB will die.

My underdogs are Czechia and Nederlands, but that is a pretty dark horse.

JPN-TPE in a couple hours. Might as well stay up.

Are you all excited about pro women's baseball?
I'm trying to decide how I feel about it.

I'd be interested to see what it's like.

Those plays by Bobby Witt Jr last night were just unreal.

I wish the WBC was more popular. It's really fun baseball. And it's baseball before baseball, which is great!

I just have the feeling that MLB does not like it.

Italy is one out away from doing something very funny.

I am loving the tournament.

Judge just doing Judge things in a big moment to end that game last night.

Man, DeRosa is an idiot.
He let the team party after they beat Mexico because he thought they were already advancing in the tournament. Then he rested some starters in the game against Italy. Then they lost.

Now they're stuck in this scenario:

If Italy defeats Mexico, then Italy, at 4-0 in pool play, would be the Pool B winner, and Team USA, at 3-1, would be the runner-up. Italy and the U.S. would both advance to the quarterfinals.

But if Mexico defeats Italy, then Mexico, Italy and the U.S. would all be 3-1. In that scenario, Mexico would advance, but a mathematical tiebreaker would be required to determine whether Italy or the U.S. advances.

The USA got beaten by Staten Island.

I can't believe it.

Gonna have to set aside time for this US-DOM game tomorrow

Does the mercy rule still apply? Of so I’m guessing it comes into play, the US pitching isn’t up for this.

Yeah, the DR mercy-ruled Korea.
I'm guessing USA will be in all hands on deck mode.

There's at least one dude who's up for this, and he's starting the game tonight

Not for today, but where do you stream ball games when you need to sail the high seas?

VIP Box is the most reliable that I've found, though that's not saying much.
Also it hops around because of shutdowns.

Thanks

So who had 2-1 on their Kalshi bets?
Because it seemed like that ump sure did.
