you think my white sox can do it

🤣🤣

I’m a Marlins fan so no, not really…

Go Phils. Need to see more Mick Abel.

Why do they call 'em standings, when every time I listen to a broadcast, they talk about which team is sitting atop the leaderboard. Are they sittings or standings? Come on, now!

Pirates fan here🫩 No

#tigers

Javy! Javy! Javy!

The Giants are playing above .500 again, finally, thank you little baby Jesus. Fucking Dodgers gonna win the division again though

Amen…FTD.

The Mets are 2 back of the Phillies. That’s about all I care.

I would. They call them ‘regular’, but have you looked at them? The numbers are all over the place. There’s no rhyme or reason to them at all. They should be called irregular season standings, and I wish someone would look into this false advertising soon.

Orioles are falling like the Dow Jones on April 2nd

For the first time in a long time, I'm faced with the joys and frustrations of a .500 team in the Astros

I hear the Rockies are gonna win the ring this year

How much better would the Jays be if they moved Vlad from the two-hole to the three-hole?

NL East is pretty competitive this year

The Cubs are making me nervous.

Yankees fan here. Yes!

how we feeling about the mariners this year?

Doesn't seem like it. Looking all around the comments and not a single person remotely cares. It's tempting to say "what a shame", but it's probably for the best

I’m a Phillies fan talking about the AL central nearly everyday

Mariners are winning more than losing, I won't complain.

Yes. Go Tigers.

As a Cubs fan and EMU alum who spent several years in SeMI following some god-awful Tigers teams, watching Javy's resurgence and the Motor City Kitties play solid ball makes me really, really happy.

That run differential!

How are the Cards doin’ Jon?

No. It's still May. I usually wait until after Memorial Day to check.

White sox has the rest of the league right where we want them

Sure Hobbes! How does Colorado do this every year? It’s impressive that the fan base hasn’t burned something in effigy

Not now, Jon. The NFL offseason is beginning to ramp up.

We are all on the edge of our seats waiting to hear what team Aaron Rodgers is going to destroy next.

This is some good Onion. theonion.com/numerous-tea...

no

Cubs!!!!!!!!

I am particularly disgruntled with the current record of the Cleveland Guardians.

Rockies have only won 8 games that's crazy.

Rockies...buying or selling?

Mariners

Ugh, don't even get me started on the Mariners. But hey, regular season standings? Bring it on! I'm all about dissecting the numbers after a long day at Work. Who's with me?

wtf is the al central doing (not you white sox)

yes :)

I baseballed once, never again.

I'm an Orioles fan, so I am going to go cry now.

Rockies can they win less than 25 games?

It’s looking that way.

September Rockies games being a must follow as they go for a record amount of losses is a new level of pennant race baseball.

No thanks. I think you explained it “Pretty Good” already.

Not particularly!

Go Tigers!

Mariners!!!!!! Go 'ners!!!!

The Brewers confuse me

Not for 2 more months

Should the divisions be renamed so that the standings are more fun to look at?

Royals have the third most wins in the AL but are third in the Central it must be a conspiracy

The Giants have played 50 games this season, incredible stuff, I hope they keep up the pace.

I don't think the mlb has ever had a regular season

what are your thoughts on the diamondbacks?

I think the Rockies are tearing it up

And by "tearing", I do mean crying

IIRC Cubbies are 3 games ahead!

That’s too erotic for May, Jon.

No

How in-the-tank for the Twins are you prepared to be?

Yes please.

please because the knicks just sent me to a DARK PLACE

the moment i pay attention to the mariners is the moment they go on a loss streak. schrödingers win%

me last year: i should start following baseball, my childhood team is the white sox me this year: well that fucking sucked. i'll just root for my new local team, the colorado rockies

lmao

The 28-20 record that puts the Mariners at the top of the AL West is about the same as the 27-20 record that has the Padres third in the NL West.

🔱🔱🔱

First place Cubes at 10 over .500. Always ready to discuss standings for at least the next...er...three games!

No. It is too depressing this year.

The White Sox are the worst team within 1,000 feet of sea level

Snakes are doing what snakes always do (.500 ± a few games)

Jets win the pennant 17-10

After the All-star break

not really but thank you for asking

MARIBERS

Not the MBRTNERS?

I’m really happy with how things are going with my favorite team, the Philadelphia Phillies. 30 wins, knocking on the door for 31. I’d say that’s pretty dandy.

One of these days I will remember I can't post gifs

The NL East race is gonna be fun all season

In Denver this year, the standings are known as the fallings.

boy they are standing. am I right, fellas?

Jon I feel like I should show you this bsky.app/profile/rene...

now that sports is over @jonbois.bsky.social I wanted to circus back to this, send me an invite on your outlook calendar to let me know how this makes you feel

Tigers good

barbecue

The Rockies are genuinely fascinating

How is no one getting this reference?

This is my first ever MLB season and i picked the Orioles and the Guardians, the latter is doing great the former....oh no

No, the baseball gods hate me. My white Sox broke a 62 year old record for futility last year & it looks like my Rockies will set a new record of humiliation.

Is the Tigers record a typo? Did they get 20 extra games against the White Sox?

Yes, please, let’s discuss the Mariners.

I, for one, would prefer no one discusses the AL West leading Mariners until the division has been secured.

See and I want to enjoy it while we have it and share my joy with others because we have no guarantees except that Muñoz is the greatest pitcher of all time.

And Cal is the biggest dumper that ever dumped - yes, yes. Love your enthusiasm, but I’ve been a fan of this god forsaken franchise for ~92% of my 45 years, and the only thing I know is attention and expectation leads to me turning into Joey Cora at the end of the 95 season.

Only team I’ve ever loved, only team I’ve ever felt physically ill supporting. I would and will do all the disappointment and joy all over again. And yeah, Cal Raleigh is my future ex-husband.

I feel you, 100%. The moment had me in absolute tears. I’m ride or die all the way with the M’s. 🔱

The best part of that was when you could see him mouthing “holy fuck” as he rounded second.

Even if it's clinched, I'm still holding my breath until the Mariners take the field in the ALDS. Some horrors could happen that like vacate wins or something and the 83 win Astros win the division by default

That sounds very Manfred.

Who is Dave Stieb playing for these days?

On Europa championship day??

No

Orioles fan sitting out this discussion. 😥😥

I think they are an excellent way to communicate to the fans how their team is doing.

Hi as a Mets fan

My A’s were in 2nd and are now in 5th place right after I purchased the MLB tv package. Coincidence? I think not.

We, the fanbase of the Detroit Tigers, very much WOULD, thanks!

How about them Nats?! A thoroughly below average performance so far! (James Wood whips ass tho)

Is this a bait post about the mariners in some way i dont understand?

It appears some teams have won more games than other teams. Will be interesting to see how this changes

The Rockies are off to a rocky start

Mets are faltering

As an Orioles fan, I’m basically in hiding.

Red Sox have the same win% they finished with last year

NL Central heating up!

hi jon, i'd be delighted

Jon, I would not like to discuss mlb regular season standings. Particularly those of the al east

No. From Wisconsin.

I am a Tigers fan so absolutely

As a Rockies fan: no.

Love to. I'm not overly happy with where the Red Sox are, but they could be a lot worse off

Detroit.

We'll see if Dabo and the boys can pull it off in the swamp

Go twins

kind of wild that the AL Central has 4 playoff teams and the best team in baseball

As a White Sox and Rangers fan, I think I'll pass.

Angels fan here. Despite their current winning streak, I'm also going to ignore the prompt. 🫣

Thanks for asking. No

This is the first year I ever got into it and dodgers games are blacked out on the app (and the gifted jersey soured my stomach) so I went with cubs and it turned out to be perfect timing having a blast

The PCA/Kyle Tucker duo is outstanding, to say nothing for the rest of that roster (which is also good).

The Red Sox are very mid, which tracks with where they are in the division (3rd).

I don’t watch baseball but I figured I’d contribute. The Bluejays are .500 at 24-24.

only if they are from 1997

The SF giants are the best but I don't have reliable data to support. I just know it to be true because I lived there when they won 3 world series in 5 years time.

Robby Ray has been solid, as has Logan Webb…except for yesterday 😕. Verlander now on the IL, which may bring Kyle Harrison into the starting rotation.

Best/deepest bullpen in baseball right now. Starting rotation can be iffy at times. The offense has been very lackluster though with occasional timely bursts from Wilmer Flores and Heliot Ramos. Yet still in 2nd place, 2 games behind the LAD. Go Giants!!! 🧡🖤⚾️

How about those Tigers !

as an orioles fan: no

Go Tigers

The Pirates who two in a row so I think it's possible for then to not finish in last place in their division.

happy to see the phillies have tush pushed their way to first place.

Sure! Some teams are doing great. Other teams, not so much.

I stopped following MLB when the NL stopped being a perfect round-robin of 5x18 (9 home 9 away for each of the other 5 times in the same division) + 6x12 (6 home 6 away for the 6 teams in the opposite division). Once the scheduling of who played whom became a matter of discretion, it lost meaning.

no thanks

no but I'll talk about dallas stars

more like mlb outstandings from the high quality of play

NL West is as crazy as it always is despite the rockies being 1899 cleveland spiders bad

The Pirates are mathematically alive

Have the Rockies been eliminated yet?

Don’t think so… could be close

Maybe after this weekend.

I don't know what to say anymore. I've been a Rockies fan since day one in 1993 (I even went to the game at Mile High where they hatched Dinger!), but this season has put a massive strain on my allegiance to the team.

Hahah I’m a Pirates fan I get it. I survived 20 straight losing seasons. I got to the point of being able to not let it affect me and my mood. I’m still a fan of the team but it’s ancillary to my other sports fandoms now.

I can handle being a fan of a losing team, as the Rox haven't done much winning in their history, it's just that *this* team is still on pace to be the worst team in the history of the sport, which is a whole new realm of terrible. A 90 loss season would be a blessing at this point!

Man it would be hilarious to be mathematically eliminated in like May or June.

I think either Providence or Springfield has it this year

How are the White Sox doing?

Only 12 games behind

Fourth place, that is.

They give you 162 games for a reason

the m’s are doing great! we had a little hiccup about a week ago, but we’re on the up and up! i mean we’ll fuck it before the postseason but we’re good for now

Canada could win a World Series before they win a Stanley Cup, if the Oilers choke and the Blue Jays get into the playoffs. What a strange world we are in.

Thank god for game 49 of the MLB in this slow sports time of year

Rockies have only 8 wins at this juncture

Cubs are managing their pitching issues well.

The Twins went on a 13 game win streak, we finally got a series win on CLE so I'm stoked. Lotta new players stepping up with injuries makes me hope the club vibes are good.

Not until some entity can stop OKC & Gilgeous-Alexander am I ready to talk baseball.

M's are in first place thats all I need to know right meow.

Can the Rockies still make a run out west?

As a Baltimore fan I believe we have just won an additional game. Should we continue that uninterrupted we are projected to win the world series.

🐅🐅🐅

Guards are still overperforming, I will not elaborate

You win some, and in this sport, you lose some.

As a rockies fan... no.

Same

the orioles won a game! 🎉

i think the standings, they’re good this year. better than last year, even. so far…

Are the Rockies really going to win less than 30 games?
