2025 MLB In-Game Thread

With the exception of Murphy at Catcher, Braves throwing what should be their opening day lineup out there today.
 
I appreciate all you guys concern, it really means a lot that guys I’ve never met have shown me so much love. Most of you know my wife Theresa been battling cancer and the shit has finally beaten her. I couldn’t take care of her at home anymore so she in a hospice facility and been getting worse pretty rapidly, I go and sit with her every day, she seems to respond more for me than any the nurses but she can only have short conversations and then she goes back to sleep. Sometimes she makes more sense than others. It’s the hardest thing I’ve ever had to go thru watching someone you love so much go thru this but I just try to be there for her and let her know she isn’t alone. Even typing this has me tearing up like a little bitch. I seriously havnt made a bet since SB (where I got my ass kicked as bad as kd did, lol). I did actually make a few bets yesterday for 1st time since then. @VirginiaCavs text me the other day and said ya’ll been asking bout me, it means a lot and I appreciate it. I was planning on waiting for her to pass before I came back but betting yesterday was a nice distraction and I miss talking with ya’ll so I’m gonna start trying to post a little more and hopefully by time baseball starts I’ll be ready to do this every day. It really does mean a lot knowing ya’ll care and thanks for the prayers and well wishes.

I can't even begin to imagine the emotions, mental anguish, pain, everything, and to be as upbeat as you are says a lot about your character. Your wife, as do you, deserves every second of happiness she can find with you. I am so sorry bro, big hugs from NY.

I thought the fact I’ve known for some time this was the most likely outcome would prepare me more for it but it didn’t, I didn’t realize we go from one day where she was obviously sick but still mostly herself to at a click a button being as bad as she is. At 1st I thought this place was over drugging her but turns out after talking w other ppl who been thru it this is mostly how it goes. I’ve never been so emotionally spent in my life! The other day she told me she was coming home soon and I lost it, I do my best not to cry in front of her cause she hates seeing me sad, she then says “my xmas wish is for you to be happy”, I had to leave the damn room. Her mom always says it not fair but I just tell her I’m grateful for the time we had and hope that I am at least making this easier for her.
 
I came hear to write about Spencer Strider being back, but didn’t realize everything that was happening 2. My condolences and sympathy on the whole situation. Just let us know if we can help in any way.

Wow first I've read this. Always feel free to hit me up man...I know life's thrown you a bunch of curves.
 
So this apparently the new thing in SF to generate revenue. Free refills all game but the cost is $22.59 which is hefty for popcorn that personally I'm not even a fan of. And if you eat all of that an need a refill, you're likely hitting your deductible before the end of the game.

Dave Sims - former Mariner’s announcer taking over for John Sterling is enormous for the Yankee radio broadcast. Not sure why but I find myself listening to Yanks on radio vs watching them a lot more!
 
FIrst bet out of the gate and Berrios shits his pants wow the guy is throwing some tasty meatballs today. Woooof.
 
Kyle Freeland is destroying the Rays. Kyle Freeland.

The Rays have yet to adjust, 95% first pitch strikes, and 80+% of all pitches thrown for strikes.
 
@2daBank Rocco Baldelli and friends on the Twins, doing Twins things. Royce Lewis was already injured, and was almost no hit by the White Sox 9-0... lol...

Meant to send this earlier for a good laugh.

Yea I love it. Rather have xm radio w all the games than the tv package! Way cheaper, think you learn a lot more bout teams w local broadcasters, the radio guys not the tv bobble heads! Plus I follow pitch trax a lot so combine that with radio and much better than watching game to me! Most ppl prob find this strange but since vin skully stopped doing dodgers games I’ve had little use for tv. Man his voice could put me to sleep so happy! Lol

Funny you say that, I used to do the same with Scully. My go to bedtime tv broadcast is easily the Giants. Been this way for 20+ years for me. Krukow and Kuiper, and they sprinkle in Jon Miller and Dave Fleming, the radio team. Best in the biz outside of the Mets TV crew.

Funny cause I hate the dodgers but skully was great for putting me to sleep
 
Massaging my left shoulder and of course the femoral vein and sciatic nerve get a wake up call like I'm old AF
 
lol…. David Peterson gives up a solo shot to no name Marlin. Yet strikes out the other 3 batters. I hate baseball.
 
Singer was a really good pickup for cincy. All the youngsters on that team who inconsistent or get hurt. They needed a guy they could trust to go out every 5th day and put up a quality start
 
So was singer a free agent or a trade? I saw India is now on kc, could be a rare trade that works out for both teams, although I dunno if that park in kc help or hurt India? Maybe hr’s down but more doubles in that big outfield could be good for him? I assume if it was a trade Kc had to get something other than India for singer??
 
if Nootbaar could ever stay healthy that kid could make a huge difference for cards, right now he swinging the bat really well besides playing gold glove defense.

Ball not even carrying tonight and he knocked one out. I didn’t see it, originally my phone called it a double then changed to home run.
