So I noticed a what looks to be a little superstitious thing before each at-bat tonight for Mike Trout. When he leaves the on-deck circle he pulls out a blade of grass and puts it in his back pocket. Interesting.

Trout has figured out a way to buttchug grass, he's on another level

2:20 for a Yankees/Red Sox game? **** Rob Manfred. Tanaka/Sale seemed amazing. Wish that game wasn't on today of all days. Playoffs and draft had most of my attention after 4pm. Tanaka pitched a Maddux.

And good grief, the Mets are a disaster. The Expos have a chance to go up like 10 games on them already after this weekend----their offense completely woke up at Colorado these last few games. Of course, it's Colorado.

I love seeing Lindor do MVP-style things. Two run HR to put the Indians up today. Dude is awesome.

You gotta be nuts in a game where 70% failure is great.

It's gotta take a toll mentally on guys to deal with failure like that.

Cards take both games of doubleheader vs the Jays. Now its 3 vs the Reds. Let's get the sweep!

Re: 4/17 - 4/30 Game Discussion Thread

The 10 seasons of pitching 190+ innings and being a horse in that rotation has pretty much killed his effectiveness. There's one of two ways this can play out:

1. He continues to struggle and has injury problems that plague him throughout his 30s

or

2. At some point he's going to have to retool his entire way of pitching much in the same vein as guys like Frank Tanana who were flame throwers but became soft tossers as they got older.


The sad thing is, Felix is only 31 years old. He should conceivably still have a lot left in the tank.

Or you can look at it this way, he's been getting BABIP'd to death this season. But, yes he is no longer an ace, but is still an effective pitcher when 50 balls a game don't sneak through the infield or bloop infront of an OF. I said 3 years ago that we should consider trading him and was crucified for it. That's when the Jays over paid for Dickie. We could of had Thor +++++ Considering the Mets landed Thor + for Dickie lol. Either way I feel batter when Paxton takes the mound than I do with Felix. As the great James Hetfield would say, sad but true.

Well...For the first time since 2014 i'm doing the "kinda follow the Jays but not watch every single minute of every game" deal. This team is headed for a firesale and hopefully they get something good for the pieces they have.

Anywho, not sure who I should follow along with them this year. Maybe i'll follow the Brewers or Rockies.

Re: 4/17 - 4/30 Game Discussion Thread

The answer is always follow the Yankees.

The answer is always follow the Yankees.

It'll be a cold day in hell before I do that but I do like the potential of them rebuilding with what looks to be a new Core Four.

Arrieta is garbage so far

Machado just blasted one 470 ft over the restaurant to dead center off C.C, longest hr of the year.

I'm not even mad, OK maybe a little.

We need people to get on base in front of Freddie...it's just pitiful how wasted this start is for him.

Two homeruns for Judge. Last one 119.4 mph off the bat.
