2024 MLB Thread; RIP Willie Mays & Pete Rose. Dodgers win #8!

Bonds and Clemens will eventually get voted into the Baseball Hall of Fame so that the voters can justify putting an Alex Rodriguez (who unlike Bonds and Clemens, actually got popped for 'roids and was suspended for it) and David Ortiz.

I looked up where some of these dudes currently stand

(75% needed for induction)

70.0% - Curt Schilling (2 years left)
61.0% - Roger Clemens (2 years left)
60.7% - Barry Bonds (2 years left)
28.2% - Manny Ramirez (6 years left)
13.9% - Sammy Sosa (2 years left)
Off the ballot - Mark McGwire

2021 has no real notable people entering the ballot for the first time. Quite possibly could be the "Curt Schilling Weekend" in 2021, whoa boy

Looks like admitting to steroid use didn't do him any favors at all.

 

[651akathepaul]

Rafael Palmeiro should be in too.

 

[stanfan]

Give bonds a few at bats this year.. we are gonna be terrible this year anyways

 

[ThePeoplesChamp_]

You’re telling me that Pudge, Bagwell and Piazza didn’t use PEDs? Lol

 

[stanfan]

The funny thing is people forget that the pitchers were roided out too.. Gagne vs bonds was pure entertainment.

 

[アミーゴ]

I hope none of y’all rock with Schilling after his Twitter escapades

 

[stanfan]

Shilling and Aubrey belong in maga hall of fame and not in a good way.

 

[BtownKj]

Bauer got Shilling good last month

Shilling and Aubrey belong in maga hall of fame and not in a good way.

Is there a good way to be in the MAGA HoF?

And on this day



The captain goes deep for 3000

Baseball needs to hurry the **** up man ...

 

[jayt1202]

Any Cubs fans willing to shell out $350 to sit on the roof across the street??? https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/29430248/wrigley-field-rooftop-tickets-go-sale-350
I can see others trying to sell "tickets" to fans if there venue has any kind of view of the stadiums and playing field.

 

[Fozz]

Posey didn't practice yesterday. I have a feeling he's going to be opting out too.

ESPN Films today announced the group is in production on an upcoming project centered on the 1986 Mets, one of baseball’s most dominant and iconoclastic teams, whose legendary World Series comeback was merely the climax of an epic tale of ambition and swagger set in a city that was synonymous with excess.

Executive produced by Jimmy Kimmel, Sal “Cousin Sal” Iacono, Kimmelot’s Scott Lonker, ITV’s Jordana Hochman and MLB’s Nick Trotta, and directed by Nick Davis, the multi-part documentary will feature hours of never-before-seen footage of the ‘86 Mets team, a team of larger-than-life characters whose exploits on and off the field symbolized a unique moment in time for New York City and baseball history.

Wonder how in depth it’ll be. I read the book about them, I think it was called, The Bad Guys Won. It was crazy between the drugs, antics, and stuff. They would scout the stands for girls they’d be interested in and send a clubhouse guy to go get them and bring them to the locker room and smash there during the game lol

Wonder what league and what division they’d be in. Also wonder if another expansion team would enter with them to even the number of teams per league.

I think another team would need to be looped in for expansion for it to work.

The group is also looking into a current team relocating. Rays would be a prime candidate for that

I could see the Rays relocating for sure. Depending on where they move to, Nashville could essentially replace them in the AL East. I think another team would definitely have to be involved for that expansion to work. Just not sure where.

I’m thinking Portland and Nashville? Rays been flirting with Montreal for a bit though.
