Yeah he's so bad.

rumours have it that he will stay on the DL until he loses weight and that they have outlined a program they want him to follow.....Hate the BoSox with a passion, but no sense keeping a guy a one-dimensional hitter on the roster who's slumping and cannot contribute defensively or in a pinch-running capacity....

MLB specialty uniforms this year an exercise in excess

I fucking love it. Not sure why the Padres are wearing a grey jersey for the all-star game, in their home park, but the various jersey are otherwise sweet and will be receiving my money. Love most of the hats.

It's because the AL is technically the "home" team for the ASG this year. Manfred basically decided to stop having the AL and NL switch off on being the home team because there are loads of NL parks that haven't had it yet. Cincy last year, San Diego this year, Miami next year, Washington in 2018.

So now regardless of venue it's just AL as the home team on even years, NL on odd years. The home team bats in the bottom half of innings and wears their home whites. Pretty dumb IMO.

I can tolerate all of 'em except 4th of July.

Red on Bronx Blue, that doesn't fly with me. Might even cause problems.

Most of them look alright, none are worse than the D-Backs grey monstrosities....

The Cubs are doing everything right this year anyway, so why not get a Superwin while they're at it? Jason Hammel drove in 1 while tossing 6 shutout innings in a blowout win over Cincinnati.

OFFICIAL SUPERWIN LIST
4/3: Francisco Liriano
4/6: Kenta Maeda
4/14: Jason Hammel

PNC Park is a beautiful stadium. All You Can Eat tickets should be mandatory at every ballpark ever for any sport/event

Padres have all you can eat seats in right field. They also have taco Tuesdays.

Breaking News: Panda demands trade to Pittsburgh.

I will say one thing..the food at Camden Yards is pretty lousy. I don't know why either..

Orioles hit 4 homers in a 9 run 7th inning to go up 10-5. Trumbo had 2 of them.
19 homers is most in AL and on pace for 308

Make that 20 homers

Rangers extend Adrian Beltre. 2 more years, $36 mil.

Very happy with the Jays starting pitching staff up until this early point in the season. If they stay consistent I think the rest of the pieces will fall in place. Sanchez looks like he could conceivably make a big impact as a big league starter.

Yanks avoid the sweep against Seattle.

Ugh. And they're usually a sweep-able team.

Also, the Jays approach at the plate even dating back towards the end of last year drives me nuts. Yeah, dingers are great, but FUCK always looking for the kill shot. When a ground ball to second base scores a god damned run, why in the fuck are you taking home run cuts :rant:

Yeah, the Mets had the same issue in the first two weeks of the season. Lots of trouble with situational hitting.

Fuckin' love Michael Conforto though and am glad that Terry has put him into the #3 spot.

Pretty remarkable really. This time last year he was in Single-A. Now he's the #3 hitter for the defending National League champions. Ridiculous.

I liked the Storen trade, but the Jays do need a lead off hitter. Not sure Saunders is going to be it.

I think the idea is Devon Travis will fill those shoes, if he ever fucking plays again.

the 0-9 Braves sweep the Marlins
the 0-9 Twins sweep the Angels

And those may be the only Braves games I haven't seen any bit of this year. Goddamnit. It's going to be such a bad year to be a Braves fan.

speaking of Storen

filthy

Had a rough go of it today but got the outs when he needed them. Feel like if they could give him a proper role as opposed to Gibbons putting him in whatever fucking inning he feels like, Storen would be able to find some consistency. This is the reason he struggled with the Nats. Let the guy do his thing because he's clearly a solid reliever.

Nice to see the Jays steal one from the socks and spoil the series.

Also I'm still not watching until June :shifty:

I agree but I'd take it even further. Tell your bullpen guys what part of the lineup they got. If you think Storen is your best gun outta the pen, tell that fucker the 3-4-5 spots in the opposing lineup. Next best guy is getting the top of the order. Third best gets 6 on, etc. It'd be of better use than giving you "TEH NINTH" regardless of context.

Osuna only didn't close because of a blister under his finger nail exploding (coincidentally on the pitch he gave up a homerun on). Makes sense I guess. Was good to see Cecil's form seemingly taking shape. He had bite on his pitches.

Storen just had to deal with kind of unfortunate circumstances of having to come in during a situation he has not had to come in for quite some time. But not like Gibbons had a choice.

Cardinals fans still so salty. Cuz Heyward and Lackey owe you...what exactly? Sorry they were more than happy to get out of your dumpy town. At least you got the first pick in the NFL draft....

First game watched so far this year.

I'm with Frankie. Fuck the Cards. #NeverForget2006

I'm still salty about 2006 too. Could have been a Mets/Tigers World Series :(

Meanwhile the Cubs aren't fucking around at all with their Superwins, getting their second in less than a week.

OFFICIAL SUPERWIN LIST
4/3: Francisco Liriano

4/18: John Lackey

Neil Walker > Daniel Murphy

Yeah I thought I may have said as much when they got him. Thought it was a stellar move.

OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!

DROFORD!!!!!!!!!

WHATCHA GONNA DO! WHEN ALL STROMANIA RUNS WILD ON YOU!!!!!!!

Nice win for the JAYCE tonight. Only caught Osuna pitching because of work, but nice to see another good start from Stroman and another 1 run victory in a lower scoring game for the JAYCE.

He gave up 2 hrs first time ever.
