I'm afraid the Padres might be semi decent this year. You're messing up the Beer tank.

Cespedes is destroying baseballs left and right. 5 homeruns in 3 days.

Hopefully Mets fans will remember this hot streak when he goes on an extended slump at some point in the season.

I am stoked to see the new ballpark on TV tonight.

Cards are off to a flying 3-6 start on the season. We only have 3 guys hitting above .200 at this point. Hopefully we can get things turned around in the Bronx this weekend.

You have three guys hitting above .200? We need your batting coach.

signed the Toronto Blue Jays.

We actually have more. I looked at the stats wrong I guess. Pulled up MLB.com on my phone during lunch and saw only 3 guys above .200. Pulled up website on computer at my desk and we have more.

In any event, we are struggling.

Some thoughts on Buxton.

- If Byron Buxton was a Formula One driver, he’d have the best car and superior instincts to any other competitor, except he never learned how to use brakes and always runs over his pit crew in front of their stunned, horrified families.

- If Byron Buxton was a house, he’d have 4 bathrooms, 5 bedrooms, an indoor pool, an open-concept kitchen with a butcher’s block and all the modern amenities, and be built on an active volcano that spews lava and syringes because it’s also haunted by the angry ghost of a ne’er-do-well heir to a needle factory fortune.

- If Byron Buxton was a child’s birthday party, he’d be a pizza party at an arcade with all the new games and unlimited tokens and then all the toilets back up and a wave of sewage washes over you while you play Skee-Ball. You begin to cry. Where are your tickets for the gift shop? There they go, on the surging tide of human excrement that is currently pushing your best friend Adam out the door and into heavy traffic.

- If Byron Buxton was a film trilogy, he’d be The Godfather movies. 1. This is great! 2. Oh my god, this is amazing, I am witnessing history! 3. What the **** just happened.

- If Byron Buxton was tater tot hotdish, he’d be fresh out of the oven, with a crispy layer of tots at the top, some perfectly seasoned ground chuck from the butcher shop and melted American cheese just below it, and then you hit a bunch of ******* mixed vegetables out of a can because Mom just can’t leave well enough alone. Dammit, Mom. No one wants this.

- If Byron Buxton was a 1988 Monsters of Rock concert, he’d be one with Metallica (YEAH!), Guns ‘n Roses (HELL YEAH!), Van Halen (IT’S THE SAMMY HAGAR VERSION BUT IT’S STILL FINE!), and...wait, is that Sting? Yep, it’s Sting. And he has a lyre. And he’s singing about the Russians loving their children, too. Everyone in the FargoDome heads for the bathroom. Dammit, Sting. No one wants this.

Seriously, what is up with this kid?

He has 19 Ks in 34 ABs (including one 1 BB!)...I thought he'd really blossom this year but the kid can't hit or make adjustments one.

Re: 4/2 - 4/16 Game Discussion Thread

After a nice end to last season too. All you can do is wait and see. He's certainly an elite defender, so at least that's fun.

Buxton is pissing all over my player to watch prediction.

Dansby Swanson...playing like hot garbage so far this year. I get the bat, but defensively he has been really poor.

Teheran has been pitching well.

Meanwhile, Brandon Phillips continually gets out on the 1st pitch when a runner is on. It's like he doesn't understand he has at least 2 strikes to work with.

Re: 4/2 - 4/16 Game Discussion Thread

Yanks win five straight without Didi and Sanchez. Makes sense.
