MLB 2022

My expectations for this team were already low, but holy crap!  The Reds lost, 1-0, to the Pirates despite not allowing a hit in the game.  The Reds are the first team since 2008 to allow zero hits and lose.

And if you look to your right, you will see a Dumpster fire already in progress.  The Phillies fired manager Joe Girardi.  Updates to come.

The Phillies beat the Angels, 10-0.

How could things go so wrong for this team?  The Angels fired manager Joe Maddon in the midst of a 12-game losing streak.  Third base coach Phil Nevin was named interim manager.  Updates to come.

The Angels lost to the Red Sox, 6-5, in 10 innings.

I know a select group of people will really like this.  The Astros no-hit the Yankees in a 3-0 win as Cristian Javier had seven innings pitched and 13 strikeouts to team with two relievers in throwing the Astros’ second combined no-hitter on the road against the Yankees and first since 2003.

When did we get MMA in MLB?  Eight were ejected in an all-out brawl between the Mariners and Angels as the Mariners’ Jesse Winker charged Angels interim manager Phil Nevin after being hit by a pitch.  The Angels beat the Mariners, 2-1.

This marks the beginning of the future.  The 2022 MLB draft is on right now.  The Orioles are on the clock.  Where will Druw Jones and Jackson Holliday land?  Updates to come.

Grab your gloves!  Cardinals designated hitter Albert Pujols, Nationals rightfielder Juan Soto and more are swinging for the fences in the Home Run Derby, but can anybody dethrone Mets first baseman Pete Alonso?  Updates to come.

Stop it, they’re already dead!  The Blue Jays set franchise records in a 28-5 win on the road against the Red Sox.

We've lost an iconic voice of many generations.  Vin Scully died at 94.  His 67-year stint with the Brooklyn Dodgers/Los Angeles Dodgers was the longest time spent by a sports broadcaster with any one team.  Also, not that it matters, but the Dodgers beat the Giants, 9-5.
