2019 MLB Thread

Billy Crystal's 61* about Mantle and Maris is outstanding (especially for Yankee fans!) Even if you don't like the Yankees, I think you'll like this movie.

Good game going on right now in Minnesota vs Cleveland

Looking forward to going to the dodgers vs Yankees series starting August 23rd.

What other recent baseball movies come to mind?

Eight Men Out

61*

Great. Another generation who thinks Shoeless Joe bats right handed.

I kid, kind of.... that always really bothered me with how simple of a detail that is to get wrong

Scenes of the batting cage in the cornfield where Joe learned to hit from the right side were left on the cutting room floor.

Big 4 game set weekend.

Probably the biggest of the weekend, although that Nats-Mets series is a big one too.

Quite the turnaround for the Metropolitans. They can probably go ahead and release Tebow. Don't think they'll need any attendance gimmicks for the stretch run.

better option would be to let walton call an m's game after touring the emerald city's finer dispensaries

can't wait for him to get traded to the astros for jack mayfield and a bag of balls

Honestly, I’d rather watch minor leaguers or even little leaguers than millionaires play on that field. I’ve long since stopped buying into the “magic” of a game that’s priced out the average fan.

I find MLB prices far more reasonable to the average fan than the other major sports.

I live in the SF Bay Area, and there are constantly deals and promotions for A's and Giants tickets.

For example, got an email yesterday about the Giants running a 24-hour sale offering $8 tickets to like 10 different games.

I think people who look for deals to baseball games can find some.

But if it makes you feel any better, here's some of the 2019 salaries of players who may play in that game next year...

Gary Sanchez $669.8k
Aaron Judge $684.3k
Gleyber Torres $605.2k

Nice start for the kid. Now let's see if he can put up some 0s.

Got squeezed earlier with 2 strikes. One led to a walk and the other to a Braun 2B. Very impressive outing but on the hook for the L.

Not anymore. Rangers should be up 3-2 but at least its tied.

LFGM.

LFGM.

Walkoffs are the best part of baseball.

 

[MTfrog5]

LFGM.

Going to be rooting for them for sure on the national league side. Fun group to watch

Does anybody miss the way Mike Maddox could come out and calm a pitcher down when he was struggling? Shawn Kelly could use that right now.
