This is the 2014 MLB thread.

My Giants are 6-2. Major improvement in our hitting so far over last season; let's see if our pitching holds up.

Went to our home opener yesterday. Old man Hudson (38 y/o, our major offseason acquisition) got the W. 75 degrees. Pre-game Bay cruise.

Feel free to post thoughts on the instant replay here.

ugh... Knew it was gonna be a long summer for the D-backs after Corbin went out.... damn that kid was fun to watch pitch last year.





Also, FUCK KEVIN TOWERS! Even though it looks like the Trumbo deal was a great signing; this fucker knew the bullpen was our biggest problem and did jack shit to fix it.. Fuck.





If only Goldschmidt could face Lincecum every night.
 
I'm totally fascinated with Yasiel Puig.....dude is either a train wreck or a future HOFer waiting to happen.





Is Tanaka > Darvish?





Brandon Belt is the truth





The Fidel Castro beard fad will be gone by June.





CC Sabathia skinnied himself to sub .500

"Goldschmidt has hit the same number of home runs in 24 at-bats as the eight major league hitters Lincecum has faced most often ÔÇô Troy Tulowitzki, Miguel Montero, Chris Young, Adrian Gonzalez, Todd Helton, Justin Upton, Andre Ethier and Matt Kemp -- have hit in a total of 405 at-bats."

Who is the bigger moron - Pineda for going out there with that crap slathered in plain sight or Girardi for letting him do it?





b/w





Jeter is having an amazingly shitty game in the field. He's way past done and his Farewell Tour is going to be a funeral march.

If they are going to start cracking down on this get ready for half the pitchers in the game to get ejected this year.

Weak comparison, since Pineda was found out on camera in his first game against the Sox, then made the stuff impossible to miss the second time around. He's a moron. Lester did no such thing.





There won't be any crackdown unless Pineda-Girardi level idiocy is involved.

Most pitchers do.





Most have the sense not to slop it all over their necks so they look like some sort of Salisbury steak.
 
Do you understand how fucking insane this is? If Pineda had lodged that pine tar in his asscrack, no one would have cared. His actual (nominal) cheating, then, wasn't the issue; the problem was that by being so IN YOUR FACE about it, he breached some nebulous form of baseball etiquette and thus deserved to be punished. Pine tar is apparently just a red button you push when you feel the need to call out a player who isn't following proper cheating decorum.

the whole thing is bullshit. everyone uses it. nobody cares. but because it was one of the NYY/BOS 4 hour-9 inning circle jerks that anyone outside of those two markets is completely sick of, it's suddenly a big issue.
 
i am COMPLETELY at odds with myself between trying to balance the anger of knowing a single man makes $180,000 per game against the knowledge of this gif:

My Os are at the top of the AL East.


Strange feeling.


I hope to see a game sometime soon.
 
Out of curiosity, how did you end up an O's fan?
