The Cardinals are doing what the braves did last year. $30 a month gets you a guaranteed standing room spot for every Cardinals game. Supposedly MLB is pushing teams to do this although I can't see the Cubs or Yankees doing it..

Does the Chi Sox have standing room only? Feels weird having to stand when there are 100,000 open seats.

I wish the Padres would open up the sun deck out on centerfield for standing room. However it's group tickets only.

Thankfully there's deck right above it with a bar.

USA just beat Puerto Rico for the World Baseball Classic crown.

Damian Rey 2.0 03-23-2017 01:17 AM

And it was glorious. Love the wbc. Glad USA finally has a trophy to show for themselves. Was already a Marcus Stroman fan but he'sc won me over once again

SlickyTrickyDamon 03-23-2017 01:47 AM

Not-Braunnnnnnnn wins the WBC.

SlickyTrickyDamon 03-23-2017 01:49 AM

WBC tournament confirms the importance of series in playoffs. Both Japan and Puerto Rico didn't know defeat until yesterday and today.

Damian Rey 2.0 03-23-2017 03:48 AM

That's what gives it the edge. I like the way it's currently set up as its very different compared to the usual playoff structure.

Evil Vito 03-23-2017 08:18 AM

No Trout, no Harper, no Bryant, no Kershaw, no Syndergaard, no Bumgarner, no problem.

That's awesome. I'd say probably 80%+ of Tigers games I go to, I get SRO. Beautiful view, you're close to vendors, you don't have to worry about "sitting together" if you're with a large group, etc.

$30/month for that would be fucking incredible. I doubt it would be that cheap though. Must vary on a team-by-team basis

Having been to the White Sox Park I can say the of is a huge open area concourse so they could do it. But unless I missed something or they added it in renovations Wrigley didn't..

Oriole Park has standing room over the scoreboard but it would be a nightmare if they sold s bunch of tickets just for that area on a plan like this.

Evil Vito 03-24-2017 02:44 PM

Speaking of "spring stats only being important in certain situations", Travis d'Arnaud has already allowed 12 base stealers this spring in 13 opportunities.

4 have come in today's game with Thor pitching. 1 of the 4 steals today was on a fucking pitchout attempt and TDA still couldn't throw him out.

TDA better hit. That's all I can say.

Droford 03-28-2017 08:47 PM

Played opening day in the show 17. Gausman threw a no hitter which is the first time I've ever done it in a game
Can't wait

Ps The Show 17 is about a perfect baseball game as there can be

Emperor Smeat 03-29-2017 03:46 PM

Mets Jeurys Familia got suspended for 15 games due to violating MLB's domestic violence policy.

Incident itself happened late last year but not enough evidence was available for the MLB to give him a stricter punishment.

SlickyTrickyDamon 03-29-2017 06:07 PM

Just picked Sox tix for first time since like 2010.

ClockShot 03-30-2017 04:05 PM

Yankees games back on my TV tomorrow.

So excited.

DaveWadding 03-30-2017 09:16 PM

Kind of embarrassed to be a Cubs fan this year....want to be able to celebrate my favorite sports team by wearing GOLD everything and cheering for them loudly, but don't want to deal with dumb bandwagon fans....

Damian Rey 2.0 03-30-2017 09:49 PM

Comes with the territory. Enjoy it and don't worry about the other guys.

Droford 03-30-2017 10:49 PM

Orioles will start season with 3 man rotation 8 man bullpen 5 man bench

Wade Miley and Tillman start the year on the DL. Wont need a 4th starter until April 8th when Miley can supposedly come off the 10 day DL. Wont need a 5th starter until April 15th with the competition for that spot up in the air

Cant wait for opening day on Monday

No joke: Reynolds Wrap changes its name in Chicago after losing bet to Anthony Rizzo


Mark TownsendBig League StewApr 1, 2017, 11:31 AM

Over the years we’ve seen a good number of sports bets backfire.

Typically, those end with the losing party getting a regrettable tattoo that will remind them of their misfortune until the end of time, which for most is damaging enough. But could you imagine losing a bet that forced you to change your identity?
[Sign up for Yahoo Fantasy Baseball: Get in the game and join a league today]
That’s the reality the good people at Reynolds Wrap are facing after losing a World Series bet to Chicago Cubs first baseman Anthony Rizzo.
As the story goes, Rizzo made a bet with Reynolds Wrap prior to the Cubs historic season in 2016. The conditions were if the Cubs won the World Series, Reynolds Wrap would change the name of the most iconic product in their portfolio.
As we know, the Cubs did win the World Series in seven intensely fought games.

So now “Rizzo Wrap” is a real thing.
And no, this is not an elaborate April Fools’ joke. It’s the real deal, according to this Reynolds Wrap press release, though it will be limited to select stores in the Chicago area.
Staying true to their word, this summer, Reynolds Wrap is releasing a limited-edition run of “Rizzo Wrap.” The champion first baseman-named product will be distributed in select Chicagoland stores this summer. While supplies last, fans can pick up a box of Rizzo’s custom foil to help with game day entertaining and quick and easy cleanup.
“A bet’s a bet, and we’re happy to uphold our side of the deal,” said Mike Mazza, brand director for Foil at Reynolds Consumer Products. “It turns out Anthony loves cooking as much as we do, and we’re excited to be releasing a foil that both he and his fans can enjoy using for their summer grilling.”

That is amazing. Excited for this upcoming season for sure.

0-0 is more tense than any other score.

Sox 2-0 in 2017 Leon with the Monstah Shot.

Emperor Smeat 04-05-2017 11:06 PM

:D Leon with the walk off HR

Sale's season debut was really good for the Sox.

Ruien 04-05-2017 11:26 PM

Sale is the best pitcher in baseball.
