This getting swept business sucks.

Re: 5/4 - 5/17 Game Discussion Thread

Joc Pederson has homered 7 out of his last 8 hits including two tonight. His glove is decent as well, dude is a stud.

Give me a damn heart attack Starlin. Cubs win 6-5 and snap the Cards 8 game streak.

Eddie Rosario hit a home run on the first pitch he's ever seen in the majors.

Freddie Freeman's on fire as of late. As is Joc Pederson.

If the Reds could only play Milwaukee and Pittsburgh this year they'd be set.

Did this actually happen or is it photoshopped? I don't see a 2nd baseman at the end of the gif.

The Pirates need to talk to Fred McGriff.

Re: 5/4 - 5/17 Game Discussion Thread

This video of Rosario's homer is great. His family had flown up from Puerto Rico to see his debut, and their reaction is fantastic.

Ha - bonus points for anyone who can name the guys sitting right behind the family.

It happened. The batter was Mark Reynolds and the Cubs were playing an overshift. 2B was on the other side of the bag (and he's in the shot too).

OS breaks mlb.com links. Neither of those work.

Edit : I take that back. It was Tapatalk.

Yeah, Tapatalk doesn't like .gifs, embeds, and some links.

One more bit of news from that game - Joe Maddon went ham on umpire DJ Reyburn's strike zone after the game (and after getting tossed).

Fine coming I'm sure, but I love to see him sticking up for his players. The awful strike zone was affecting the Cardinals too, and as the game went on I was wondering which manager was going to get tossed first.

As is Joc Pederson.

His last 7 hits have been home runs.

The guy has been incredible.
