MLB 2025 Season Official Thread

I'm about to go on vacation to Greece for about 3 weeks and I wouldn't be surprised if the Mets were totally out of the playoff picture by the time I get back

they've been consistently inconsistent since the break

I think you are being a bit like Siavash—u big city market fans are spoiled.  The Royals are 4 games over .500 now and the fan base is elated… Mets are a whole 7 games over .500 and in the playoffs if they started today and the fan base is down.  —Have some faith man!

If I knew more about the NL I would say it will come down to trade deadline moves, if Cinci and St. Louis made better moves then they will overtake you but if not then I think you will be fine.

so it's ok for a team like the dodgers to be 5 games below 500 over the past 3 months?

LOL

Yes I would say it is true…Greece is notorious for not liking Jews or any other foreigners for that matter…but yeah especially Jewish people…believe it or not I even get some hate from Greek locals because I’m American born…but I have an apartment there which I go for a few weeks in the summer just to relax, see family and reboot before I come back here

Hard to argue her point about “you say your under such threat and your country is under such attack why are you touring Greece, I don’t seem to see many Palestinian tourists here”

She got a point there homie

I like the movie Before Midnight which showcases Greece and I’ve toured the capital city, spent a day there, seems cool but to expensive for a broke loser like me

there's no arab tourists in greece?

 


that actually might be the next country they colonize

it's not just greece

most the world hates jews .. it's always been like this

 

i just find it funny how cool it is now to say it out in the open because arab extremists have manipulated the western liberals into believing their bullshit

Mets and Dodgers have 1 thing in common...inconsistency

the Dodgers just swept the Padres recently and now down 0-2 in the series in San Diego

the Mets have won 2 straight against the Braves hitting the ball all over the field but lost 2 of 3 against the Nationals the series before

but the main thing is to get in the playoffs which both teams will do and get on a hot streak anything can happen in a short series

[TraceOneInfinite]

That’s nothing homie…. There’s a great quote by the great Dodgers manager Tommy Lasorda who was before your time but was a huge personality of the 80’s…

He said, “Every team wins 60 and every team loses 60, it’s what you do with the games in the middle that counts.”

Dodgers have got to get to 60+ losses one way or another so every good team has that low point in the year.  So unless there was some big injuries or trade deadline issues I’m not aware of I still think you will be fine.

Also, another interesting factor is that statistically there is actually no such thing as going into the postseason hot or cold.  The Sabermetrics guys took statistics of all teams entering the playoffs hot and cold and found no correlation to their postseason performance.

Meaning that teams who falter at the end of the regular season still do well in the postseason just as much as teams that go in on a hot streak.

yea that's why baseball is gay

i mean i like baseball

but in basketball, you go into the playoffs hot and it absolutely means something

momentum and energy is much bigger in basketball than in baseball

Yeah, baseball is a screwy game.  That's why they call it a "game of failure."  Because the best anyone has ever hit is Ted Williams hit .400 but that still means he failed at the plate more than he succeeded.
