The boys of summer! (Baseball Thread)

[irishnd31]

@irishnd31 Cheers, old friend.

I appreciate it brother.

This team has shocked me all season and had some major ups and some major downs. But this team wants to win for one another and you can see they play hard every game.

Love Vogt and he should be Manager of the Year. First time Head Coach nonetheless... LOL

Fun team to watch for those who have not seen them play.

That was obviously a great day by Ohtani but who was that pitching on his 3rd HR? It was lobbed in like a celebrity pitch.

Down 3-0, only 9 outs remaining, of course the Cardiac Tigers pull off antoher gritty win, 4-3. This run is unbelievable. Swept the Rays, magic number down to 2, with a home series against the CWS.

I'm one Tigers fan who refuses to insult or take the White Sox likely. A team who has nothing to lose, versus an unlikely Cinderella story with everything to play for? Recipe for disaster. Just glad we don't have to sweep another team to get in.

Saw where Washington’s SS was demoted from the big club for having an all-nighter at the casino. Apparently, I got in at 8am before an afternoon game. Lol

Was this recently? They're well out of the chase, so why not haha

About a week ago. CJ Abrams who was an All Star this year.

Dodgers clinch West tonight w/ win over the Pads. I can’t believe the Dodgers won 2/3 as the Padres are the better team IMO. They’re built for the postseason & my pick to represent the NL in the WS.

Sad day.

Reggie, Sal Bando, Catfish Hunter, Blue Moon Odom, Conseco and many other A's probably felt like they just took a punch to the gut.

Judge hit #58. Would love to see him get to 60. Three games left.

Very sad, indeed. I feel for that fan base.

I hope at the very least they keep their jerseys similar. I think the As have the best kits in baseball.

You're kind of partial to the green and gold look.

Finley shook up MLB when he introduced the new unis.

I definitely am partial to the green and gold haha, like the Seattle Supersonics, the Minnesota Wild's throwbacks. Just a clean look IMO.

....Oh, and these bad boys right here

Wore that same jersey to the UNC game at Chapel Hill in 2008. Game didn’t end well & post game almost didn’t end well as a gang of UNC fans started mouthing towards me but cooler heads prevailed. Idiots.

He is sitting out so not chasing 60. Disappointing.

Oakland is such a shit home city for the sports teams.

 

[Irish2155]

Internet says Dave Stewart was 8-0 with a 1.80 era vs Clemens. Fucking owned him.

And of course, Eckersley would close.

They had some great teams for sure. Rickey running wild

 

[oddz313]

Really can't believe the out of nowhere Tigers run, I was at a game in June vs ChiSox where they lost and they dealt at the deadline, no way I thought this would happen.

Shohei announced he’s playing the last 3 games in Denver. Got to see him go bridge last night for #54. Going back tonight to sit in the OF bleachers. Coors Field is must-see for baseball fans.

I can't believe the wild card format has the Tigers playing at 2:30 every day this week, absolute busch league. they should be rotating the times. Houston and Detroit fans getting hosed.

“Smoke” Stewart had a 4-5 year run where he was one of the best pitchers in the game. He never really got on track in his career until he landed in Oakland & Dave Duncan got to work with him.

He sat out Friday, played Saturday and sat out Sunday. Went 0-5 on Saturday which cost him a shot at the triple crown.

The orioles need to fire Hyde. That guy can’t figure out how to win when he needs too. His lines are bad.
