Not a historic first, which is pretty hard to do in baseball with a billion games having been played, but Cincinnati became the first team in 65 years to lose 3 consecutive games 1-0 today.Quote:

It's too bad, because otherwise Freddie is still looking great with the bat. I saw him hit that 1st inning HR, and he's been gone ever since that game concluded.
Amazingly his huge World Series performance was WITH the bad ankle!

Meh, I gave up value as it seemed to be moving lower but it’s went the other way and I’m seeing +130, which is more in line with what BPP has it. The Sox just haven’t looked good to me yet, but betting against them in their home opener might be too reactionary.Quote:

It’s early but Buehler is down 2 clicks on his fastball this year. Considering he was ass last year this ain’t great.Quote:

How he put it together for Dodgers playoffs was pure luck and guts but enough to fool the Sawks into taking him.
I’ll prolly do some kind of BTTS like F7.
Weird it just moved heavily since I made that post. Now it’s +108 and +110 on my book and espn. So I guess I have decent price. It’s really a bet against WalkerQuote:

The weather is ass today as you can see. Fenway is the better of a bad lot. Not EV for runs. I’m gonna take a pass.
If you have CLV then you got something. Compare it to Pinny for a sharp take
Druff’s game at Citizens is not rated highly either for offense weather. The prop for longest Dodger streak in 2025 was 8.5 games -150 and that could cash in the first 9 games. lol
I’ve been watching so much Yankees. That Ben Rice is one of your local kids, right? He has really been good. Great eye at the plate and some pop.
Wow. A Dartmouth kid in the Show. Not just the Show but NYC. That’s fun. Thanks.Quote:

Torpedo Tales
Dodgers Max Muncy has been bad. He tried the torpedo bat and was still ass. He puts the torpedo bat down last game and tied the game up with a base hit to center right. 5-5 then Ohtani walk off HR
Both Max Muncys suck right now. I had the As the other day and have been on Dodgers most nights and neither has done shit.Quote:

I can’t push the button for you.
Brandon Lowe is playing inside
+450 HR for my DK No Sweat
Matt Olson big barrels but no HR to show for them yet. Was tempting.
Damn my bet went down quicker than a tech stock
Luis Castillo started yesterday for Seattle, and starting today is....Luis Castillo!
Or, "Luis F Castillo", now. I wonder how it feels to be the lesser accomplished one and forced to now have your middle initial used.
Also funny how that only happens if on the same team. I don't see a MI for either Max Muncy.
Reminds me of the great quote from Frank Robinson (when a member of the Orioles); "I dont know how you reporters keep getting Brooks and I mixed up.....we wear different numbers."
Different numbers. Never heard that one somehow.Quote:

Buehler is like a barn find. Maybe he can be restored to drivable condition. Maybe not

Kids this is what happens when you impulse bet before getting the opinion of the locals. Both these suggestions are winners. 10-8 might be low. Both teams scored and then some.
My bet a loser.
I’m going to start first 5’ing these Yankees run lines. I’m in the familiar position of having to sweat their bullpen every night from the 4th.
Dodgers having the Apple TV curse.
Finally gonna lose a game, despite a strong outing from Yamamoto.
I guess 162-0 ain't happening.
ok, hold on a second - before I start getting too involved in the baseball season would someone please tell me they don't still start a runner on 2nd in extra innings - I've been away from baseball so long I don't even know if this is still a thing. If it is I may have to re-think my summer plans.
Philly fans might make Roki cry in the dugout again.
ploppy/homer bet for me today - Red Sox -1.5 +160 and over 9 -118 - no clue who is pitching/injured just that the bats have come around and think it continues today. Its cold and overcast but fine enough weather for baseball.
I'm using the money I won yesterday tailing San's blackhawk fade
Sanlmar: It’s worse than you know. Every single rules change has been a detriment and the league is shit. Go Sawks
Ehh I wouldn’t go that far as the pitch clock and the minimum 3 batters faced rule have drastically sped up the game and that was much needed. Braves-Marlins last night had 10
Runs scored and was over in 2 hours 20 minutes.
Those 4 hour Sox-Yankees games were an abomination.
Yeah Ghost Runner is a permanent thing in regular season now.
I hate only checking a runner at first twice twice then it’s a walk. We used to love just practicing checking runners drills. It’s fun for pitcher and runner. But artificial scoring counts for a lot too.
The pitch clock is prolly responsible to some degree for you watching bum ass pitchers cause EVERYONE is scheduled for surgery. Throw 101 and take two breaths and throw it again.
The 3 batter rule is actually the only good rule change.
Fake runs stink.
I miss collisions at home and second and the players policing the game in that regard. Game within a game shit. Thank god hockey has let players continue to establish conduct on the ice. The nut low is NBA these days.
It’s just my opinion. Kid viewership is growing and all that. I actually watch very little baseball now. I pop in and out like a zoomer. The product stinks
....and like Verlander said, VELO and spin rates and just teaching kids to throw, not pitch.Quote:

A pitcher can only check a runner back or throw over to 1st twice then its a walk? This has to have had an impact on the number of stolen bases, no?
My bet got rained out. Anyone got anything else they like?
Yes the 3 batter rule is a positive change. It was maddening watching them changing pitchers in the late games every other batter.Quote:

The ghost runner sucks balls.
The universal DH also sucks, but at least it caught up the NL with the AL. Before that, the NL was a net loser in interleague games, due to not having a proper DH on their roster.
https://x.com/MLB/status/1908703719337640427
Nothing in the regular season will be able to top this.
I would really like the Az RL but the weather sucks to the point I could see it be rained out, no biggie, but start and then stop which would be problematic with Corbin pitching.
BPP loves Druffs Dodgers. Price is fair. Just ML, not fucking with RL on cold day.
Race to 10 getting quite interesting.
I am rooting against LAD tomorrow afternoon, who could win a bet i have at effectively like +250, to just root for Giants later, and against padres and rangers.
Max Muncy sux rn.
Sorry gut. I thought of you tonight when I was watching Hunter Greene almost get a CG shutout, and then run out of gas (despite still throwing 100+) with 2 out, nobody on in the 9th. He gave up a hit to Lee, then walked Chapman after getting him 1-2, and it was clear he couldn't throw strikes anymore. Santillan ran the count to 3-1 against a scary Heliot Ramos before Ramos lined out in what looked like a clear base hit, but hung in the air for a bit.Quote:

Hate to say I was rooting against your interest tonight because I had Reds +150.
As I said at the time, the +5500 was a good bet given the schedule and the Giants' ability to be streaky.
Man the Tribe can’t catch a break. MLB has been starting them on the road every year for weather purposes. So after a 9 game road trip what do they get for their home opener? High of 35 today. High of 42 with snow/rain tmrw. High of 44 and rain on Thursday.
Pretty much the entire last two weeks would have been playable.
If they play the Sox today, there isn’t a number low enough for this shit. Neither can hit when it’s 70. Even Lively who gives up homers like candy is probably safe if they play.
Imagine actually going to a home opener against the White Sox with a high of 35 degrees. That’s pretty much rock bottom.
I know you’re saying, “Another Red Sox docuseries? Really?”
Wish Netflix coulda held off for one more year. I guess, they can always make another one too.

Anyone over 30 or sober there deserves what they get. I’m far too seasoned(old)to buy April Tribe tickets in advance. I’ll be watching them freeze from comfort.
Wife bought tickets for Red Sox Yankees like the first week of season one year. Right behind home plate. She thought it would be a terrific surprise. It was like 36 degrees day of game. 3 layers of clothes. Hats, gloves.
Fenway still has the urinal troughs. I take my gloves off and put them on the ledge above the urinal. Wash my hands and leave with out my gloves. I get to my seat, realize I do not have gloves (beer is a factor here) and utterly completely panicked. It was second inning or so. There was no way I would survive.
Race back to the men’s room. Not there. I’m going to die like Shackleton on that Antarctic expedition.
I find my gloves tucked inside my coat.
Here is a graph of BOS Crochet’s u17.5 outs. For context he pitched 8 innings last outing. I title this “Sometimes math is idiotic”
I was young and dumb enough to drag a girlfriend to this one. Tribe versus Red Sox doubleheader April 12 1992. Drunk 21 year old. She spent half the day in the girls restroom. No suites or warm bar areas in old Municipal Stadium with 85k seats for our 5k fans.
First game Matt Young throws a no hitter and we win on an error
Next game Clemens throws a 2 hitter.
18 innings of baseball for 2 Cleveland hits in frigid temps.
