Orioles up 1-0 over Stros. Interesting part so far. After 2 innings, both Chen and Kiechal have 5 strikeouts already.

A rendering of what the Astros new CF will look like next season. They are removing Tal's Hill for safety reasons and part of a renovation. They are moving the CF fence is as well.

BTW - are we ever going to see Puig play baseball again?

Possibly in the next week or two.

That's so saddening...

Yea, Tal's hill is one of those quirky things, that only baseball could have. I understand the reasoning, but then I don't... Now they decide to get rid of it, they should just keep it and rename it Edmonds hill.

Pederson is a damn stud. As a Cubs fan who sees a ton of talent coming up, I'm genuinely jealous of what the Dodgers have and what's coming.

Seager and Urias are game-changers that are on the way.

Over the next 10 years or so, it should be pretty fascinating to watch the Dodgers and the Cubs battle it out for NL supremacy.

I'd throw the Nationals in there as well if there were a greater than 5% chance that they'll resign Harper.

I actually like it. I mean if we have to give up the hill.

I'll say this, with the embarrassment of riches the Nationals and Dodgers now possess. It would be a letdown in my eyes, if the Dodgers and Nationals don't make it to the world series in the next 3 years. They are both so stacked.

Re: 6/1 - 6/14 Game Discussion Thread

I was at that game too!

Did you stay to the end? So many people left after the 7th. Why would you sit there in the rain for seven innings then leave before it's over?!

Hey Braves fans, David Carpenter and Esmil Rogers are available for pick up, just sign here.

Carpenter may very well be back in Atlanta soon. At this point, he can't really be any worse than the dreck we're rolling out there.

Boo at removing Tal's Hill. I mean, it's not THAT dangerous is it?

Ah well....

Re: 6/1 - 6/14 Game Discussion Thread

Joc's K% is somewhat concerning, but when you draw walks and hit the ball as hard as he does when he is making contact, the strikeouts are tolerable.

I respectfully disagree...it's an absolute waste of an AB, a projected 196 wasted and unproductive ABs.

Re: 6/1 - 6/14 Game Discussion Thread

Astros have got to find a way to hit better with risp! Two times today back to back innings..first time first and third nobody out next inning second and third nobody out and they can't score anything! They lead the league in long balls but as of late are struggling with guys past first! Especially with nobody out. That's my one issue with them is there lack of hitting. I feel that could be there downfall in the summer unless the rest of the division continued to suck

Looks so out of place...why get rid of something that's a naunce of the stadium. That's like CHC getting rid of the ivy brick walls because it's dangerous.

Re: 6/1 - 6/14 Game Discussion Thread

Sucks Astros will get rid of the hill. That was my fave part of their stadium. I'd play using their stadium in video games just cause I wanted to try and hit the ball there,and liked fielding there with my CF.
