so 99% chance he goes to the national league then?

white sox don't really have a real DH right now. wonder if they would be willing to let him DH in general and pitch every 5th game lol.

not that pitching should be a huge issue for the white sox in the next few years.

The Oakland A’s have settled on land near Laney College as their preferred spot for a 35,000-seat, privately financed ballpark to replace the Coliseum, team officials said Tuesday.

Looks like this got leaked before the official announcement today, but this is great for the A's and their fans. After all of the shit (&#128527 they've been through, they've been more deserving of a new stadium than any other professional sports team.

Interested to see the renderings of the new ballpark later today.

 

[Line_HTX]

Can't they just abandon the Coliseum like... next year? Like how many dugout disasters are you going to have?

 

[Rock And Roll]

Is anyone else missing work like a degenerate today to watch Cleveland make AL history?

 

[Line_HTX]

Nah, fuk da Cleve.

It's been a long, long time since opening day was actually opening day for everyone. In the past, there's been a national game the night before the big slate, and usually some teams that don't get going until the day after most everyone else's opening day, for some reason, and sometimes even an international series in Australia or Japan a week before the rest of the league takes the field. Baseball doesn't need a slow rollout; it's a long season with a lot of games, and it's much more fun when every team and every fanbase gets to partake in the acute excitement of opening day on the same day–a real opening day.

Well, good news. MLB's tentative 2018 schedule is out (many game times are still TBD, but the dates are set). And next season, for the first time since 1968, every single team will play its first game on a single opening day, Thursday, March 29. Fifteen games, all 30 teams.

2018 opening day will be unique for a couple of other reasons. It's only the 12th Thursday opening day in MLB history, just the second since the 1970s. It's also the earliest opening day ever, excluding international series—that's a function of the new CBA, which mandates an earlier start in order to give teams three or four additional off-days over the season (which is itself a very good thing.) The early start also ensures the World Series will end in October.

One more wrinkle, upon which I'm agnostic. The Thursday after the All-Star Game there will be a single, nationally televised day game—Cardinals-Cubs—before everyone else gets back to work on Friday. That's fine, more baseball is good, but I'd really prefer that everyone come back on Thursday, the way it used to be. Those two full days without any baseball or all-star events are killer, even if the players undoubtedly value the time off.

Poor Tigers had the gall to think they could take a lead in this game.

 

[clemenx]

I hope Miggy bounces back next season. It's going to be real sad if he ages like Pujols.

 

[Lunar FC]

I got selected for the Rockies postseason ticket opportunity. No idea how this shit works, but hype.

 

[BFIB]

I hope Miggy bounces back next season. It's going to be real sad if he ages like Pujols.

No one ages like Pujols.

 

[clemenx]

Well. I hope so. Pujols decline was pretty gradual. Miggy's last 2 years he was banged up but he still had over 150 wRC+ this season's decline is too sudden.

 

[Rock And Roll]

This game is rapidly approaching stupid territory.

 

[TheSecondSpitter]

No one ages like Pujols.

Hank Aaron had an OPS+ of 194 at the same age.

Wow.

 

[Joei]

The Flow is dealing today, 21 in a row looks all the more likely as the game continues.

especially if these AAA pitchers keep serving up meatballs

 

[Chris R]

35k seems rather small, but I guess it's better to be half full most nights than worry about not having enough seats when you make the playoffs or get hot

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

16 HRs in 32 games for Hoskins. Fastest in MLB history.

 

[eBay Huckster]

:jnc at the fucking sprinklers going off

e: okay, Clevinger kinda started fucking up in this inning (but Yandy not even bothering to go for that catch sure didn't help)

 

[Shadow2222]

Shaw makes me so darn nervous.

 

[Rock And Roll]

What a play!

 

[nnex]

Whew, Urshela doing that work.

 

[Danthrax]

freaking Bryan Shaw trying his hardest to blow it

Urshela had to bail his candy ass out twice

three outs to go, boys and girls

 

[TheSecondSpitter]

Happy for Tito if they get the 3 outs. My fave manager in MLB.

 

[amishpriest99]

Survived Shaw...

 

[Danthrax]

going for the inside-the-park homerun was dumb. come on.

 

[Rock And Roll]

Terrible send.

 

[Danthrax]

two outs to go! let's go, Cody!

 

[Rock And Roll]

Congrats Cleveland!

 

[Danthrax]

YES

21 IN A ROW BABY

 

[TwntyOneTwlv]

THATS THE FUCKIN RECORD

 

[alr1ght]

21! Even with Bryan Shaw Bryan Shaw'ing.

 

[Malo]

Cleveland is never going to lose again.

 

[BigAT]

Cleveland is never going to lose again.

Until they get swept in the first round.

 

[Darkgran]

Congrats Cleveland!!

 

[Sir Alemeth]

The dream of D-Backs overtaking Doyers is dead.
Here's to Doyers first round exit!

Dbacks have to get through Rockies first.

one of these league leaders is getting swept in the first round and it ain't the Indians

 

[TwntyOneTwlv]

Until they get swept in the first round.

Lol ok

 

[Danthrax]

Until they get swept in the first round.

Tribe gonna smoke everyone in October

 

[Dreams-Visions]

WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWINDIANS

:-D

Royals gonna stop the fun train, aren't they. :-(

WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWINDIANS

Royals gonna stop the fun train, aren't they. :-(

Andrew Miller coming back, though

 

[Reckless Abandon]

Incredible stuff from the Tribe. I'd trade it all away for a World Series win - as I'm sure everyone in that clubhouse would - but Tribe fans, and fans of baseball in general, have to take a step back and notice how truly epic this is. This is something only 1 other team in the 100+ year history of Major League Baseball has ever done (2 if you count the NY Giants with that tie, I'm still not sure how I feel about that).

And Miller is set to come off of the DL tomorrow so we're only getting better.

Go out and get # 22 tomorrow, fellas!

 

[GK86]

Damn, incredible run. Congrats, Tribe.

 

[RampagingSoul]

McCarthy is putting in work today in relief: 3 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 4 K.

Also, congrats to the Indians on their streak!
