Last night was awful, and Pineda on the mound tonight so I'd put my money on another blowout. This team is causing me physical pain right now, it's going to be even worse when I don't have the NBA Finals to distract me. Long summer ahead.

The worst part about the Red Sox is... Their extremely likable. Being a Yankees fan,

I despised that team for so long, always respected Papi, and liked Manny. Everyone else was open to hate.

I didn't accept Damon into my life until the Yankees made world series in 09.

But this team? With Papi's farewell. And Xander,Mookie, and JBJ. I like them alot, and that's just wrong lol. But damn I loved Mook before he destroyed Camden Yards too, **** ain't right lol

Yankee fan confessions.

Yeah I'm not seeing it. I hate Pedroia and Ortiz almost as much as the Kansas City baseball team.

Re: 5/31 - 6/12 Game Discussion Thread

So that Kris Bryant, huh? Doesn't really need to change that swing after all, eh? If it ain't broke...

Bryant with a 2-run homer in this one (his 12th) and just missed another one last inning. He's dead nuts on his NL ROY triple slash line from last year...In fact I can't remember such a carbon copy season from year 1 to year 2. Kris is replicating nearly everything, minus stolen bases, but is striking out 10% less (20% this year vs 30% last year). I'll take a 6.5 fWAR 3B making minimum wage every day and twice on Sunday. Nice pick, Theo.

He is really good at punishing mistakes. I don't think you can fix his swing; I'm of the opinion that all that height makes things a little more difficult.

His game is always going to be destroying pitches like that one last night. He doesn't have to get all of it, either.
What's wrong with this swing? How should we expect a swing from a guy with his build to look? http://m.mlb.com/chc/video/topic/155...ield/?c_id=chc

That lineup is so damn inconsistent, you never know what your gonna get. But it royally pisses me off when the offense doesn't back up stellar pitching.

Sabathia has been really good too, it's pretty frustrating, bet they wake up against Detroit today, but it won't matter because Pinata will probably give up 20 runs in the 1st.

Curious to see how Julio Urias does this afternoon against the daunting Cubs lineup.

Completely agree with you. His height forces the extreme uppercut in order to get to low pitches. I think teams will start to work up in the zone more with fastballs on him to see if he can get to them, then continue to finish down with offspeed.

Hunter Pence to the 15-Day DL with Hamstring Strain.

Just stumbled on this.

Stay classy, Toronto.

I'm glad the vast majority of Blue Jays fans aren't a-holes like these people.

Well Julio, you get the NL Pennant winners and the NL Pennant Runner Up both on the road in your first 2 starts. Go get 'em!

MadBum with his second homerun of the season today vs the Braves.

Re: 5/31 - 6/12 Game Discussion Thread

You guys are gonna see that one on Baseball Tonight. Javy Baez with range oozing out of his range and a diving Web Gem.

Re: 5/31 - 6/12 Game Discussion Thread

And the wheels have come off for Urias...6-1 Cubs

[WaitTilNextYear]

Re: 5/31 - 6/12 Game Discussion Thread

Both Baez and Bryant have homered off Urias as if to say "our prospects are better than your prospects, nah nah nah nah nah."
