Austin Riley....good heavens. I can't remember seeing a ball hit that far at Citi Field; that was ridiculous.

It was the 3rd longest home run of the season so far, 458 feet.

The 1st and 2nd longest belong to Giancarlo, 483 and 459.

Just heard on the broadcast:

For the first time since 1953, there are no teams that are 3-0 or 0-3 after the first 3 games.

Ohtani's outing hurts my heart

Little late to the party, but it seems the Marlins still have the Phillies number as they have for some time now. Who knows what will happen moving forward with those two teams since the Marlins have the entire organization out with the Covid.

Took the Braves offense a bit to wake up, but wake up they did. Austin Riley smashed that ball, but I still don't think he will live up to the expectations surrounding him. I know some Braves fans will hate me saying that, but I don't think his vision at the plate is going to improve a whole lot in his career. I know the K's are a part of his game, but man, he really puts out some ugly AB's with how bad his eye can be. If a halfway decent slider is thrown away from him he has zero clue what to do 90% of the time.

This one certainly went farther (of course by who else):

I can't find an official Statcast number on it (like I'd trust it anyway heh), but I'm guessing it went at least 475 feet. I'm leaning a little closer to 485 myself.

As if things couldnt get worse for Jays, Bo Bichette scratched literally minutes before their game today.

Andrelton Simmons just made a nasty successfully trying to stretch it out to first base. Looks like he'll be shelved for at least a couple of days now.

Hit the front of the bag, boys!

He would have beat it in stride too. Didn't need to reach.

I haven't played fantasy baseball in 4 years and I remember being already frustrated owning Tyler Glasnow in a keeper league. The guy is 26 and has never thrown more than 62 Innings in a year. I would had gone insane.

Top prospect Nate Pearson will all but likely be making his MLB debut on Wednesday.

Re: 7/23 - 8/2 Game Discussion Thread

You know what they say, a team that sanitizes together wins together.

In all seriousness, much more guys are wearing masks in the dugout AND on the field today than 24 hours ago. Some guys are freaking out about this too.

Padres still undefeated in Brown. Man the umps this series were hilariously bad for both sides.
