Don’t sleep on Cincinnati. They majorly improved their team in the offseason

Will the Astros break the all time HBP record this season? 1898 Baltimore Orioles hold the record at 148.

Working an off duty job yesterday at Phillies spring training, no Bryce Harper yet. I was hanging out in the back watching some pitchers, I turned around and I’m standing next to Joe Girardi..not a big baseball fan but that was pretty cool.

Hopefully at least 162 plunks this year. :bx

Go ahead and sleep on the Tigers, they will be lucky not to lose 100 again. Not a lot of confidence in the Cubs either. I may need to become a Cincinnati fan.

Can't do it, Thomas. As horrible as I think the Tigers will be, we love our teams in good times and bad. A lot of bad the last few years. :r

I was a kid watching the horrible 80's & early 90's Yankees and never gave up on them. I understand your dedication Tom.

Yeah, but we had Donnie Baseball to watch, so it was all good. :D

We're going to our first spring training game on the 29th to see the Nats play the Cardinals. Go Nats!

That is true. He is still my favorite living Yankee.

MLB really blew the chance to have the spotlight on Fourth of July weekend. Oh well. I’m ready for some baseball either way.

Re: Mlb 2020
 
I'm having a hard time getting into the season.
Watched probably 40% of the Yankee games so far, and only a handful from around the league.
That's a huge reduction for me.
The baseball has been good. Actually better then I was expecting. No rust, and the players are committed. It doesn't look to me like they're just showing up for the paycheck.
That said, hearing so and so could win the batting tittle, or hit .400 this year just doesn't sit well with me, and makes me want to change the channel.
For pure entertainment value, I can watch, but the part of me that loves baseball is left unfulfilled.

Oh, and I loathe the fake crowd noise that's added to the broadcast. It just takes me out of the game...

Worse than the laugh tracks on particularly unfunny sitcoms. -(P

Yankee bullpen did a pretty good job - trying to give you back that game last night. :r

One of the Reds operation execs comes into Straus Tobacconist downtown. They are trying to improve the quality of the crowd sounds on both TV and radio. I mentioned an early game when it sounded like fire trucks, sirens and all, came over the radio broadcast like they were driving through the outfield instead of outside the stadium.

It's gotten better since then.

The fake crown noise does not bother me. It goes in one ear and out the other, maybe because there's not much between to impede its passage. The cardboard cutouts in the seats do not bother me, though I do think they can be more stupid than the intended clever solution for empty seats. But the fake "virtual fans" who appear and disappear from the seats, depending on the camera angle and the "live versus replay" transmission annoys me some. Why bother, and why be inconsistent with it if you DO bother?
