Not a lot of fans outside Texas wanted Astros indeed...

Albert Pujols homered the other day giving him 693 home runs he needs just 4 more to pass Alex Steroid PED Rodriguez and 7 more to be the 4th player in the history of baseball to hit 700 home runs.

Albert Pujols also reached second all time in total bases this week.

Re: 2014 MLB Season getting close
 

He's a trooper indeed - 42 years and going on

Re: 2014 MLB Season getting close
 

Yeah he homered again just recently giving him 694 home runs and when he smashed that ball into the seats, Pujols then homered off of 450 different MLB pitchers and no one in the history of the MLB has homered off of that many different pitchers.

Pujols also homered last night giving him 695 home runs and ironically it was off of a different pitcher he never hit a dinger against to extend his all time record of homering off of 451 different pitchers.

A rare breed indeed - hall of famer auto-induction feels like

Time to see if Judge breaks the AL HR record...

Re: 2014 MLB Season getting close
 

Wild Card game 1's yesterday - 1st inning home runs in some games sealed those games :lol:

Re: 2014 MLB Season getting close
 

That was a brutal failure by the Blue Jays yesterday...

Re: 2014 MLB Season getting close
 

Mets got dropped by SD - another rough end to a season that Mets were in the driver's seat for such a long time...

Re: 2014 MLB Season getting close
 

Run for SD continues...cinderella...

Who's on the World Series watching bandwagon?

Re: 2014 MLB Season getting close
 

Uh yeah Albert Pujols with out a doubt will be a shoe end for the HOF he has legendary stats near the top of the list next to the all time greats, He never took any drugs either when so many other guys did.

It saddens me that 2022 was his last and final year as he claims because he was really the only player to have a chance that was actively playing to catch Mr. Steroids in most HR's and needing to play at least another 3 years but he most definitely would have eclipsed Hank Aaron having the most all time RBI's by any player.


Not only did Aaron Judge break the AL Home Run record for 1 season of play but the fan that got that ball in the stands later sold it for 1.5 Million at an auction when he was previously offered 3 Million that he declined ahahaha what an idiot to lose out on getting half as much like that.


Can you believe the National League last year ?

Dodgers, Braves, Mets, were all over 100 wins and almost the Cardinals and they all got eliminated quickly from the Playoffs last year having the best records.

Re: 2014 MLB Season getting close
 

hilarious - i didn't read about that fan catch.

the NL was a complete meltdown last year

Re: 2014 MLB Season getting close
 

That game the other day where Team USA avoided elimination against Venezuela was something to see.

USA really clobbered Cuba to advance in the Championship Final against the Japs.

Re: 2014 MLB Season getting close
 

final out between ohtani an trout was awesome

Re: 2014 MLB Season getting close
 

Yeah seeing stars from the same team face off against each other in the World Baseball Classic was interesting.

I sure wish when Team USA competes in the WBC that there roster would play at full force, They have almost all the good hitters but there pitching is always soft compared to who could really pitch and almost all great pitchers chooses not to.

It's obvious as to why, They don't want to risk any injury or even throw out there arms on games that don't benefit them any and ruin there chances to sign big money contracts.

Re: 2014 MLB Season getting close
 

With about 1/3 of the 2023 MLB Season in the books, It hasn't really made much sense.

Some of the poorest teams in baseball are the best teams in baseball so far this year.

The Rays have the 3rd lowest salary in all of baseball but have the best record so far.

It's really amazing when you think about it because the Yankees are paying Gerrit Cole and Aaron Judge this year close to the same amount as the entire Tampa Bay Rays roster combined!

I hope they can keep shocking most by playing like they have it was the same with the 2014 and 2015 KC Royals.

The Orioles have the 2nd lowest salary in all of baseball but have the second best record so far.

Then the Rangers who were projected to be average at best currently have the third best record in all of baseball so far.

Everyone also predicted the Tigers to be dog water but are surprisingly having a nearly .500 season so far.

There is still a lot of time left in the 2023 MLB Season so we will see how good these teams really are.

All the new rules have really confused fans and even coaches lol

I like the pitch clock that started this year, That has subtracted almost 30 minutes off of each game.

That three pick off rule per plate appearance has caused a ton of stolen bases.

Re: 2014 MLB Season getting close
 

the pitch clock really has made a difference for the speed of the game

Re: 2014 MLB Season getting close
 

With the 2023 MLB regular season ending today on October 1st many were very surprised.

Not many would have thought that the Orioles would have finished with the best record in the AL and the second best record in all of baseball, Many fans in Baltimore didn't even realistically expect that.

Yankees, Padres, Mets, and Cardinals who almost all analysis said were to be dominant with being elite teams didn't even make the playoffs!

Re: 2014 MLB Season getting close
 

Really surprising with the Padres.

Up here, we are hoping for Toronto but...it's a challenge hah last year was a big breakdown vs Seattle

Re: 2014 MLB Season getting close
 

The hype up here is big on Toronto - very tight AL race and thrilling games

Re: 2014 MLB Season getting close
 

Fan desire for victory outweighs the players' own.

Re: 2014 MLB Season getting close
 

World Series set - fun to catch a game in Toronto if closeby and have the dough :)

Re: 2014 MLB Season getting close
 

Toronto closing in - hoping for the win to block the Dodgers repeat!

Re: 2014 MLB Season getting close
 

Game 7 - anyone on it? :FF:

Re: 2014 MLB Season getting close
 

Brutal loss for the Blue Jays - few things didn't go their way ...exciting game but sad ending
