2021 HOT STOVE

The Cardinals score 3 unearned runs on 2 errors. Ends in a 4-4 tie.

Oh yes, baseball is back 

Pushes are our friend in Spring Training. Regular season, that's a loss 98% of the time.

Cleveland, bottom 5th men on 1st and 3rd, tie game, no one out. No one scores.

Glad to see things are normal again

"Where have you been the last 3 years? Not paying attention to our hot stove/spring training threads?"

Consider yourself lucky. I have been putting up with his nonsense 12 years now. Keep delivering your crappiest beer, I think he consumes most of it himself.

Cheer up sac, this is just day 1 of 7 months to come, hopefully

Ugh Florida, they just don't give a flying f#ck about Covid, fans allowed and many without a mask...

Spring Training 2021 [ 1-0 / +115 / RoR +115%]

"And the whining"

"And the complaining"

Wouldn't be same old thread without it, would it?

 Just day one of 183, then we get the playoffs, plenty of time left.

WELCOME BACK BASEBALL 

@barneybeans

 Just reminding myself of the facts of the game.

Are folks desperate for MLB gambling?

I guess so; odds are popping up at SBR on all of tomorrow's games, and all of the pitchers are listed as "undecided". What the heck, flip a coin I guess. Now mind you, these are the same folks that wouldn't dream of betting a football game without knowing the starting quarterback, or a basketball game without knowing the starting point guard and center, but in baseball the starting pitcher doesn't matter. You gotta love it.

Of all of those things that happen in the game, the worst is the amount of games having a 2-3 run lead end of the 7th that end up losing.

Getting ready for that...

2-0-1 +2.50 

Key 1-0

Barney 2-0

Saaaweep on "underdogs"

Good job gents.

The Tigers are starting a guy named Funkhouser. Now that's a name I can back

@undermysac

 At +157, why not? 

not to worry gents.....ill be by tomorrow to post a few plays and break up this sweep party. 

@BIGDTITLE

Monday:

Marlins +110

Quick check on the kid...he's from Palos Heights Illinois...rich kid. Went to Oak Forest high school. Kids from Palos don't go to Oak Forest unless their parents got the coin to send them there. I'm laying off on this fact alone.

Went to Louisville. Kicked ass. 4th round pick by Detroit.

4 years in the minors, 4.23 era, 1.43 whip. But isolated #'s from AAA are much worse, 20 starts, 8.25 era, 2.10 whip.

13 appearances out of the pen for the Tigers last year, 7.27 era, 1.90 whip.

He's not ready, may never be. Great last name though.

Monday:

Rays -125 *1.00/.80

2/28 2-0 +7.32U

3/1

BAL +120 3U

DET +155 3U

@undermysac

 You just set him up to pitch a no-hitter for his 3 innings.

The fix is in already.

Wait, you guys are betting on practice games?
