The Official 2025 MLB Season Thread

They don’t have a choice tbh. There’s so much dead space in baseball you might as well use it to talk about your day

They should talk less. Let the sounds of the game come over the air.

Few people can ramble about anything and be entertaining. Maybe Phil Rizzuto on one end being great at it. And Bob Costas on the other end being terrible.

Being a commentator in early season baseball games is not serious

Checking out Yankees and Athletics this dude has been talking about his trip to IKEA for 3-4 minutes straight, then mentioning the batter, then continuing his story about his trip to IKEA.

Reminds me of the Mets booth talking about the sitcom Parks n Rec during a game As someone who really liked that show it had me like




Keith had NO IDEA what Gary and Ron was talking about



Also reminds of Keith Herdandez telling a story of getting pickpockets in New Orleans during a game

fukk the Pirates and Rockies for the Bud Black and Derek Shelton firing. Put some money into building a better team, and if you going to fire the managers for these shytty records, you need to fire the person who built the rosters.

Preferably, they should sell the teams to somebody who cares, but since they won't do that. Fire the GM and clear out the Front Office.

I think the twins should definitely look to trade Buxton. His value might not peak like this again. Varsho is interesting it's crazy that he's such an elite defender considering he started out as a catcher with power. Cause he still hits like a catcher with power and nothing else. Just a mostly bust bat with great outfield defense.

We need some sort of "Best of GKR" page or channel. I remember last year when they was talking about Keith wanting a suite on the road and Gary asking Keith what he would do on the table, which led to a lot of from Keith and Ronnie

Indeed, that's what made the White Sox so amazing last year -- it took a lot of consistently awful baseball to lose 121 games. They were 12-28 through 40 games and 14-30 through 44 games before the losing really kicked in:

• May 17 to June 6: 1-18
• July 10 to Aug. 5: 0-21
• Aug. 17 to Sept.13: 3-22

6.5 behind the Mets but they haven’t even played the Mets yet.

Their next 9 games are against Washington and Boston.

I said this earlier but the Braves could be in striking distance of the Mets by June 1st despite their awful start to the year.

No Acuña. No Strider. And Smith-Shawver is on the cusp of figuring things out.

This ATL team could make a run.
And the longer Bryce Harper struggles the more Philly should worry
