MLB 2016 Regular Season Thread - Page 10 - Sporting Events and Fantasy Sports

Jon Miller told a great story about fisk ordering moliter to be hit in the ribs after MIL hit grand slams in 3 consecutive innings (over two games) because they were leaning out over the plate.

none of you will understand, but it's what makes baseball great....

It was more of a generic lol at thinking anyone can predict the exact weather six months in advance.

In a couple of years that hundredth monkey thing will kick in and everyone will be batting the pitcher in the 8 hole.

Is it even raining in NY? I'm an hour south and it's been overcast but so far no rain. Could have had an official game in by now

Split season tickets to the Reds with a buddy, and just got them today. Brag or beat? They are super good seats though.

Good seats for any team outside of maybe Oakland seems like a pretty solid brag.

Section 23 if you are familiar with Great American ballpark. And a parking pass to boot. Kinda excited even though they will be terrible.

DBacks fans should not read Jeff Sullivan's article on Fangraphs today. It's not meant as a kick 'em while they're down piece, but it pretty much is.
