Blue Jays are .500 though? Is that bad?

It's the way they're losing.

They're also being crippled by injuries but the main problem is the starting pitching has become a huge weakness and the offense hasn't been all that great other than that first month or so of the year. If it wasn't for the bullpen which has mostly been EXCELLENT this team would be on the level of Baltimore right now.

I saw the umpire's explanation for the Camargo play was that they couldn't conclusively see if he ever touched the plate. Hmmm...okay, then.

They should have tried watching the replay with their eyes open.

So the Yankees will finish their suspended game and then play a full game tonight with the Nationals. That should be interesting.

LOL the Blue Jays make me look silly complaining about the pitching and offense. I'll take it.

BTW Teoscar Hernandez is one helluva hitter. Thank you Houston!

Let's hope the 6-0 score so far holds up.

Re: 5/7 - 5/20 Game Discussion Thread

Both Yankees games postponed until June 18th. Resuming that suspended game on June 18th (or even if it was tonight) is dumb. They should just scrap it and start over with a normal doubleheader, but of course they won’t.

On the flip side, it's a pretty early hook for Darvish. Only threw 61 pitches.

He came out of the game early with a cramp in his calf muscle, btw.

Going into today, there were only 4 players with at least 100 PAs that were batting .330+ with an OPS over 1.000. Three of them are Red Sox.

Mookie Betts- .349, 1.166
Manny Machado- .350, 1.100
Mitch Moreland- .330, 1.030
J.D. Martinez- .344, 1.024

Yet they aren't even in 1st in their division. Pitching matters.

Boston has the better pitching statistics on the year...

Albert Almora...what a bad dude. Incredible catch.

Don't think it was quite out of the yard, but still an awesome play. Saved a double or triple easy (if the ball bounces away from the wall)

It's kind of annoying that after tomorrow we are done with the Cubs for the year...everyone of these games so far has had a playoff type feel. Love it.

Re: 5/7 - 5/20 Game Discussion Thread

Nice organist the Braves have...lol...Almora gets "Jump" by Van Halen after that Spider Man catch earlier.

Re: 5/7 - 5/20 Game Discussion Thread

The pitching has been on point in this Cubs/Braves series...good stuff.
