Lorenzo Cain got Tanaka's number tonight.

Although KC is on their 5th pitcher right now. This game could go either way right now.

Apparently the PED he got dinged for was found in cough medicine....

Sweet story out of Japan.

Former MLB player Brandon Laird hit a home run in the Tokyo Dome in Japan and it hit a sign for Kirin Beer. He won $10,000 and a year's supply for beer for that.

I guess there's a bunch of signs there ranging from car companies and electronics companies. And if your homer bounces off one, you win something. Sweet deal if you ask me.

Yankees come back and win. But Cain hit 3 homers in that game.

Which ever one of you guys got him for fantasy, you're probably in good shame in the home run category for the rest of the week.

Realistically not even Chris Davis could hit that sign though

https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com...c1482b85e2.jpg

It might only be 501 ft but a ball hit that sign would have to go about 700 ft

Droford 05-11-2016 09:37 AM

Also Manny Machado is slugging .722 next highest is Ortiz at .688. He's opsing 1.147 next highest is aledmys Diaz at 1.115

Nicky Fives 05-11-2016 11:50 AM

HR target would be something great for charity at the home run derby....guys who are out of it quickly can focus on trying to hit the targets to have MLB donate $100,000 to Little League America, WarAmps or whatever....

Bad News Gertner 05-11-2016 12:25 PM

J.A Happ killing it this year.

Ol Dirty Dastard 05-11-2016 01:25 PM

As gorilla monsoon would say, it's a Happening

Bad News Gertner 05-11-2016 01:51 PM

Lol I HATED the signing when it was announced

Droford 05-11-2016 04:54 PM

Trumbo 11
Machado 10
Davis 9

Only team with 3 players 9+ homers and also currently lead the league with 48

You know what would fix so this strike zone nonsense? #RobotUmps.

Droford 05-11-2016 09:22 PM

If the Os hit back to back homers tomorrow night vs Detroit they'll be the 2nd team ever to have back to back in 4 games straight (other being the 64 twins..the 64 Twins?)

Emperor Smeat 05-11-2016 10:57 PM

Not sure what's more surprising, Red Sox scoring 40 runs against the As this series or Rick Porcello putting up great numbers this season.

Evil Vito 05-11-2016 11:40 PM

Inspired by Bartolo Colon's majestic HR, Noah Syndergaard has now gone deep twice in one game!

Damian Rey 2.0 05-11-2016 11:43 PM

He's hitting it to all fields as well. I smell a super win coming.

Evil Vito 05-12-2016 07:25 AM

Indeed, it happened. Thor drove in all 4 runs in a Mets 4-3 win.

OFFICIAL SUPERWIN LIST
4/3: Francisco Liriano
4/6: Kenta Maeda
4/14: Jason Hammel
4/18: John Lackey
4/19: Jason Hammel (2)
4/22: Jeff Samardzija
5/1: Clayton Kershaw
5/3: Jake Arrieta
5/11: Noah Syndergaard

Droford 05-12-2016 08:22 PM

Of course Mike 6+ ERA Pelfrey is 1 hitting the Orioles

Ugh

Droford 05-12-2016 10:06 PM

And now it's 7-5 os mostly off their bullpen

ClockShot 05-13-2016 03:50 PM

Yankees take 3/4 from the champs. Something I didn't see coming.

This might be the start of something.

weather vane 05-13-2016 04:06 PM

I love this fucking team.

ClockShot 05-13-2016 07:04 PM

Jose Reyes suspended until May 31st.


Bunch of bullshit if you ask me.

Damian Rey 2.0 05-13-2016 07:44 PM

Why is that?

ClockShot 05-13-2016 08:33 PM

Chapman missed 30 games for firing off just a few gunshots. Never arrested, never charged, and there was allegedly no contact with the girlfriend. But a gun was involved.

Reyes is missing about 18 days because his wife doesn't want to cooperate with the police and we don't know the extent of this domestic abuse case. He was arrested, charged, and had a trial date. According to the wife she was grabbed by the throat and slammed against a glass door and was taken to the hospital.


Punishment doesn't fit the crime here.

Droford 05-13-2016 08:44 PM

Pretty sure Reyes essentially got 50 games

ClockShot 05-13-2016 08:44 PM

ChiSox are in town. I wonder if we can get John Danks at a bargain since they cut him loose today and Pineda & Severino ain't getting the job done.

ClockShot 05-13-2016 08:46 PM

52 games altogether but he's been in "paid administrative leave" and he's getting credit for those games missed.

Still think it should be harsher punishment.

Ruien 05-13-2016 08:52 PM

I remember when Danks was supposed to become the Chi Sox next ace pitcher. So sad he didn't pan out.

Damian Rey 2.0 05-13-2016 08:57 PM

Reyes has to pay that money back from what I've gathered. So no, he will not end up getting paid. Chapman is no less innocent. Let's not devolve into which wrong is more wrong.

Evil Vito 05-13-2016 08:59 PM

Charlie Blackmon looks like a goddamn gold prospector.

Droford 05-13-2016 09:49 PM

Orioles win 1-0 for the 2nd time in about a week

Evil Vito 05-13-2016 10:45 PM

Matt Harvey blows.

Damian Rey 2.0 05-13-2016 11:25 PM

We'll take him.

Frank Drebin 05-14-2016 02:50 AM

Lol at hoping your team signs John Danks. One of the worst starters last year. More of the same this year. He's done. I liked Gavin Floyd better when the sox signed Danks instead. Too bad injuries killed Floyd. Could have been solid.

Damian Rey 2.0 05-14-2016 10:38 AM

No I meant Matt Harvey. Vito says he blows. Send where sunny days sweep the clouds away and the air is clean. He'd look very handsome in a Padres uni.

SlickyTrickyDamon 05-14-2016 06:28 PM

How are they crediting Ortiz with a double? Winning run crossed home way before Ortiz stepped on and then grabbed 2nd base.

Emperor Smeat 05-14-2016 06:59 PM

Probably one of those little stat quirks in baseball.

Whoever was keeping track assumed Ortiz was extending the play. Think the winning run wouldn't have counted if Ortiz got thrown out at 2nd since there were two outs.

Or just felt Ortiz's milestone 600th double would look better as a game winner.

Droford 05-14-2016 11:39 PM

Seems weird the Os are the 2nd best team in baseball brlehind the Cubs.
