Re: 6/1 - 6/14 Game Discussion Thread
I would put any amount of money on Cano to pick it up in the second half, he's too good of a hitter not to. But, hey we will gladly take him back. Come back home Robby.Comment

Re: 6/1 - 6/14 Game Discussion Thread
Surprised it didn't get mentioned,but what did people think of the "SAFE" call in the 9th inning of Jays-Astros game? Some like ESPN billing it as "controversial victory".....
Actually the preview pic on the video itself perfectly shows part of the "controversy". The fielder tripped over Reyes which prevented him from getting the ball,but the obvious argument in Reyes defense is that he was on the base,so it's the fielders job to move around him. Had Reyes been off the bag,then that could've been called interference or something?

Re: 6/1 - 6/14 Game Discussion Thread
i'm not sure what Reyes could've done. Sure, he could've stood up but he bent down with his hands over his head because he thought the ball was gonna land on him. He is directly on the base and it's as much his territory as the fielder. Honestly, this wouldn't have been an issue if Altuve took control of the situation and gone for it rather than Villar.Member of the Official OS Bills Backers Club

I don't think anyone (including Reyes) could have done anything different given the circumstances. The bottom line is that the Jays caught a break and Houston didn't. That's baseball.Comment

Chris Archer: first pitcher in MLB history to strike out 10 or more batters without walking anyone in 3 straight starts.
Don't know what the more surprising fact is: that it's never been done before or that Chris Archer did it.I write things on the Internet.

Haven't been looking forward to this Braves/Padres series. I was big fans of Kimbrel and J-Up in Atlanta and I'm not exactly thrilled to see them come back because I wish they were still part of the longterm plans of the Braves, especially Kimbrel.

Re: 6/1 - 6/14 Game Discussion Thread
The Astros drafted Carlos Correa over Byron Buxton and Mark Appel over Kris Bryant.
Correa and Appel will probably be solid pieces at the big league level, but boy, forfeiting the right to have Buxton and Bryant in the same farm system (!!!!!) is one giant opportunity cost.I write things on the Internet.

How about Cameron Maybin? Guy has really been playing well and I hope it means he's starting to reach his potential..."People ask me what I do in winter when there's no baseball. I'll tell you what I do. I stare out the window and wait for spring." - Rogers HornsbyComment

Re: 6/1 - 6/14 Game Discussion Thread
Maybe it's me being greedy but his speed is better than just 9 SBs.
Beyond that pedantic point, he has been a great surprise...I think as a Braves fan, I would've been happy with a 55-year old Marquis Grissom if it meant no more BJ.Originally posted by Gibson88Anyone who asked for an ETA is not being Master of their Domain.

Re: 6/1 - 6/14 Game Discussion Thread
Man, I know it's early in the month but ever since June has arrived the starting pitching has been excellent and of course, the offense has been rock solid for the Jays. If they can just have at least average production from the starting rotation and the bullpen gets fixed this Jays team could make things VERY interesting.
I'm really hoping May doesn't end up being the difference in a playoff appearance or not for this team.Member of the Official OS Bills Backers Club

Man, I didn't want to say anything, but why the crap did Fredi pull Shelby again? The bullpen has blown the game once again...I'd lose my mind if I was a starter on this staff!"People ask me what I do in winter when there's no baseball. I'll tell you what I do.
