This just in... 

The Tigers still suck.

 

[ChiefD]

Love me some home run derby. Julio Rodriguez is a effing machine.

 

[ChiefD]

Hey espn - the view from behind the hitter where you can’t see the ball leave the bat is USELESS. 

 

[ChiefD]

All Star game. Love the AL prison uniforms.

Would love to see rhe Yankees come out with a City Connect uniform like that. I actually dug those.

Listening to Manoah talk through his mindset of how to attack a batter was awesome.  Guessing if the catcher was on the same page and how quick he went through signs and how he thought about the pitch sequencing was great.   

I was cracking up when he asked how fast he was touching then was disappointed thinking adrenaline would have given him a couple MPH's increase....haha

I didn't watch the game but when I heard he was mic'd up and had to go find it on Youtube.  My favorite jays player and I'm fortunate to get to watch him pitch every 5 games.  He's a bull on the mound but also an exceptional human.  Like many other's his story is pretty heartwarming.

Having a convo and pitching to 4 all stars is pretty impressive.  Best part is most American baseball fans had likely never heard of him.

I have him on my dynasty baseball team.  He is awesome.  I picked him up early right before he was called up and he has been awesome.  

Watching him pitch I can't understand why he is so hard to hit.  He doesn't throw exceptionally hard.  He doesn't have crazy movement (but he does have movement) but he gets so many K's on what looks to be 93-93 FB's right down the middle.  He is very impressive.

Was thinking the same. My son already asked for one.

Kershaw talking to 10 year old who lost his grandfather was cry worthy

What a season Judge is having, 42 homers and counting before August.

Am I the only one bothered by these guys who have massive contract years? Like, this is the first time they're really trying then? And that's all it takes, is to try harder????

Large dose of anger from the Yankees not giving him a proper offer doesn’t seem to hurt. 

 

[Senor Schmutzig]

Any Orioles fans in here?

@ChiefD what did Whit do?

 

[ChiefD]

@ChiefD what did Whit do?

He was one of the ten players who couldn’t go to Toronto because he wasn’t vaccinated. Said it was a personal choice.

He then said, and I’m paraphrasing here, that if he ended up on a team that was going to the postseason he would consider getting vaccinated.

 

[Pip's Invitation]

Not the first MLB player to tune out because they were playing for the Royals.

Austin Riley is an absolute monster.

Exciting days to be a Reds fan, seeing what new prospects they can get for their current players, to develop and then trade away in 4 years to a team that's actually interested in winning baseball games.

 

[encaitar]

Noticed the title and figured it was in response to the big "play at the plate" last night. Thoughts? I'm not sure how a catcher could play that better IMO. Looked to be perfectly by the rules. Really hate NY deciding a game too. That was the worst part of this.

Terrible judgement call (Disclaimer, I am a Twins fan). Not sure how Sanchez can play it any different.

I'm a Cubs' fan and I thought it was a bad call. I also hate that baseball has gone to having faceless men decide these things. Replay is ok, but it should be the crew chief on the field making the call.

 

[ChiefD]

Joe Davis is awful as an announcer. THIS is the guy the Dodgers tabbed to replace Vin Scully? He sounds depressed all the time.

He is so bad.

 

[Capella]

Why did they choose these two teams for this game? It’s not a surprise they’re both horrible.

 

[Zeppelin]

Another cheater gets busted taking PED's and claims he "inadvertently" took it.

 

[Uruk-Hai]

Any Orioles fans in here?

I'm one.

I am absolutely shocked at how well they are playing. I thought 70 wins would be a marvelous season.

I doubt their pitching can hold up, but their bats have awakened so we'll see. They called up DL Hall and he's starting today.

100%
he was on NFL games last year. instant mute for me.

Josh Hader, whoa.

 

[CletiusMaximus]

Josh Hader, whoa.

I'll say. ERA was 0.00 over his first 19 games.
Last 25 game his ERA is 12 with 8 hrs and 1.145 OPS against.

 

[The Big Donkey]

51 for Judge and counting.

 

[jobarules]

51 for Judge and counting.

I hope people appreciate the season he is having. Simply incredible.

 

[The Big Donkey]

Babe Ruth
Jimmie Foxx
Ralph Kiner

I hope people appreciate the season he is having. Simply incredible

 

[Capella]

He’s going to be great for the Mets next year.

 

[Zegras11]

Shohei Ohtani is the only player in MLB history with 10 wins on the mound and 30 homers at the plate in the same season.

 

[facook]

Shohei Ohtani is the only player in MLB history with 10 wins on the mound and 30 homers at the plate in the same season.

And going to lose the MVP race by a wide margin.

Rays only 6 back of the Yanks

Rays only 6 back of the Yanks

Yankees organization is an absolute **** show. The fact that they keep playing IKF who is a horrendous fielder and even worse hitter at SS when they could've signed Correa or Seager is mind boggling. Then they have a stud SS prospect tearing up AAA who is also a phenomenal fielder in Peraza and they refuse to call him up. They prospect hug by not trading Peraza for Castillo settling for **** Montas instead and then refuse to call the guy up.

A small part of me hopes the Yankees blow the 15 game lead so that the entire organization cleans house from Cashman to Boone but Hal wouldn't even do that probably.

They would have to fire cashman if they blew a lead that big. Rays haven’t even had Wander Franco or Brendan Lowe for a majority of the season.

The TB organization has been running circles on the Yankees organization the last 5 years.
