Lol so 40% of the Yankees rotation and 30% of the starting lineup is on the DL now. Jesus it’s like they’re turning into the Mets with these injuries. Better now than 5 months from now I guess.

Andujar likely done for the year, too.

Yankees and Red Sox have come back to the pack a little bit in the AL. I expect the Astros to figure their hitting out, but it's been a pretty bad start for the AL elites.

Here's a little something to think about before the O's/Jays game tonight. No position player is left over from the 2015 bat flip game. The only people left over are Aaron Sanchez, Marcus Stroman and Ryan Tepera.

Devon Travis is theoretically still around but odds are his days as a Blue Jay are numbered as well.

Thats crazy turnover.

It is so embarrassing looking at the Reds games and their attendances.





I mean it is 61 degrees out there and just beautiful weather!

Watch the Jays. Bad team and high prices, we're gonna see below 10k crowds.

AA left Jays in a bad long term position.

To end 2015 Jays were 4th oldest hitting team, 6th oldest staff, and bottom 10 farm system.

Now, Jays are 2nd youngest hitting team(will only get younger after 30 year old Pillar is gone and 32 year old Smoak is next), 5th youngest pitching staff, and top 5 farm system.

Now that's a turnaround for the better.

Not exactly turnover, but this reminds me of something I heard listening to one of the ball games last night, and I'll turn into a trivia question:

Now with Ichiro Suzuki retired, the three longest active MLB players by career games played are Albert Pujols, Miguel Cabrera, and Robinson Cano. Who is fourth on this list?

Watch the Jays. Bad team and high prices, we're gonna see below 10k crowds.

Do you think the attendance at GABP looks like more than 10k right now, though? I'm sure paid attendance will be a different story, but wow.

Pretty sure the Rays are 4-1...

Here comes Harper...

EDIT: ... and there goes Harper. Scherzer punches him out.

I think there was 7,000pd attendance last night.

The only thing I can think of is attendance might go up slightly once school is out and over. It's difficult to take kids to a ballgame when it's a school night.

Oh, you're not on Spring Break?

Anyway, it just goes back to last year when I asked what the harm is in halving the ticket prices there if that's all that they draw. It's just sad.

Re: 3/28 - 4/14 Game Discussion Thread

That should be a HBP on Turner. He didn't attempt to bunt at the pitch so much as the pitch came at his bat, and it hit his finger.

[XtremeDunkz]

Re: 3/28 - 4/14 Game Discussion Thread

No way Turner didn't fracture his finger there.

If he wasnt going for the bunt he easily avoids that ball.

Easier said than done. I'd say he was looking it in plenty and gauged it, but if he wanted to try and bunt it he would have gotten wood on it. Being squared up in that situation is not easy to get away from when that ball looks like it's running inward at you.

I just think it's more debatable than simply saying he tried to bunt at it.
