[Other Sport] MLB 2025 season

[AZ Gull]

.... Still wouldn't be surprised to see one traded away before, or early into, the season - possibly Jordan Montgomery.

....

Turns out Montgomery will have to undergo Tommy John surgery and will miss the entire 2025 season.



Unfortunate for him, and unfortunately he will go down in D'backs history as one of their worst-ever signings. Having helped the Rangers beat the D'backs in the 2023 World Series, the Snakes signed him to a one-year $25million deal in 2024 with a vesting player option for $20million for 2025. He was awful in 2024 and would have had the worst ERA of all qualifying starting pitchers if he hadn't missed some time through injury. So, a grand total of $45million for one crap season.

Was reading a couple of days ago that the White Sox already have SIX pitchers needing to undergo Tommy John surgery. WTF is going on?!?

To be fair if I was on the White Sox roster I think I'd rather have a year off than actually have to play games!

Happy New Year!

Heading off to Chase Field in 3 hours or so to take in Opening Day with the D'backs coming up against the Cubs. Should be a sell-out (or very close to, unfortunately with lots of Cubs fans I'm sure); lots of pageantry, a fly-over etc etc. Hope Gallen and his teammates can get the season off on the right foot.

Play ball!

Blue Jays absolutely SPANKED by the Orioles. New season, same shit.

Out of interest how much do you pay?

10th inning collapse for the Nats throwing away a great opening day for Mackenzie Gore. Harper and Schwarber twisting the returning player knife tonight. I’m not happy

Just read that the Texas cap has been pulled from store shelves, as it spells out a Spanish "rude" word.

When you see it...LOL!

my translator says "tits." Is "tits" all that bad?

At least you get a full stadium for Opening Day. I don't think the White Sox sold out. 31,403 was attendance.

Happy with that. Looked to be struggling a bit until Sheets hit one over the center-field fence to kick start things in the 7th.

It could have been worse if Gunnar Henderson had been in the O's line-up.

The AL East will be brutal this season - a lot of talent in that division.

I watched a chunk of the Tigers / Yankees opener and have to say the Yankees were very lucky to win, with the Tigers 0 for 15 with Runners In Scoring Position, leaving 11 on base.

Would you walk around with a hat that says "TITS" on it?

Like this?

It was looking good for the Braves until the Bullpen came in. Neris was not ready. Hopefully the Braves can get that sorted out.

Just not for a couple more days though!
I was getting concerned with the Padres rattling through 4 pitchers before Sale was taken off the mound

Ticket was $88.35 for this one.

About the same as a MAGA hat that says "Make America Great Again"

Stop The Season - I wanna get off

Catching up on Discovery+.... ridiculous from The Yankees & Aaron Judge against the Brewers... First team ever in MLB to hit first 3 pitches for Home Runs, and Judge with 3 HR and 8 RBI.
