Jim Tracy finally put Fowler at the 8 spot in the lineup the other night. Now he's back at the 2 hole. The hell, 2 days rectifies all the problems apparently.

The White Sox are wearing red, and are playing the Red Sox.

Were they wearing these throwbacks? If so, I have to say they're one of my favorite White Sox uniforms ever.




Anywho, nice explosion by the Jays in the 8th! I can't believe Lawrie's first double of the year has come so late so maybe his bat will start to have more of a charge to it. He currently has a 9 game hit streak now. Another thing about Lawrie....That guy just plays all out. Once again he sacrifices his body going for a foul ball. He's either going to get a serious injury one day or be destined to be a DH later in his career due to bumps and bruises.

People who have Edwin Encarnacion on their fantasy team must be grinning ear to ear right now. The guy has been the most consistent and best hitter so far this season.

Henderson Alvarez was not at his best but it's shocking to hear that he had his career high in walks in a game with 3 The 7th inning was the key in this game though as young Evan Crawford pitched magnificently to get out of the inning.


Tomorrow's going to be a big night as we get to see Yu Darvish up close and personal. It's also going to be on ESPN Monday Night Baseball. It's been quite some time that ESPN has come to Toronto.

The contradiction of the socks is what eats at me.

This has been a great series between Washington and Los Angeles

Helton grand slam to tie the game!! Manning is at Coors right now.

Re: Game Discussion Thread 4/23 - 4/29

Todd Helton with a 2 out grand slam to tie it up. Peyton Manning at the game too

I'd say Pastornicky has turned it around pretty damn well for a rookie since hitting .175 or whatever it was to start the season

Re: Game Discussion Thread 4/23 - 4/29

Amazing how a team can change year-to-year. The Phillies are 10-12 right now. Last year on this date they were 17-8.

Re: Game Discussion Thread 4/23 - 4/29

Phil's are definitely down.

[Chrisksaint]

Re: Game Discussion Thread 4/23 - 4/29

Last few years the Marlins have started out hot then fizzled, hoping this is the opposite.

Guys need to wake the F up at the plate, LoMo is the only one being consistent imo. Hanley(Why he ever changed his swing after winning a batting title i'll never know) pops up way too many pitches, Stanton got a few nice swings in today maybe he's on the way back up.

Nothing is going right for the Rangers in this game.

At the plate, I agree...but his defense is subpar.

I think it was the 2nd or 3rd inning with a man on 1st that a comebacker up the middle hit the side of the mound but Tyler went straight to the bag instead of the quickest path to the ball and it obviously got past his diving glove.

Average arm, below-average range...but can foul off a ton of pitches. I like the bat but want to more of the supposed wheels he had in the minors as well as an improved glove more before I see him as long term.
