Unless I miss something Uribe seems like a punk, should get a decent suspension to cut this out right away in his young career.

What a weird game

Re: 4/22 - 5/5 Game Discussion Thread

Just saw the Trout news...watching greatness be devastated by injuries over the last 5 years is maddening. He hasn't played a full season since 2016 and the sad thing is that even when he plays now, he's not what he was...his average is .220 this year and he's turned into a low average power hitter at this point. In fact, this season his career average has dipped below .300 and I doubt we'll ever see it above that line again. I always love a good 300/400/500 career out of a player...

Red Sox lead the Majors in starter ERA, shutout wins, and...errors.

Therefore we're resting comfortably in 3rd place.

I don't disagree that Uribe should get a suspension, I think it would have been a better outcome if Siri didn't start jawing.

All stemming from his slow watch of his HR ball plus being plunked by Peralta.

The Brewers have been in the graces, for better or worse of the umps for 3 straight games.

Since 2021 if you said I could get Trout at his 2021, 2023 or 2024 self and all it would cost is 2 top prospects, based on those numbers vs 37M salary until 2030, I'd definitely be rethinking things. It would be like trading for Kawhi at this point. You know when he plays he'll be good, but are you paying him top dollar for half a year with no guarantee he's playing the playoffs either.

Got a chance to even things up in Baltimore today. Need the offense to figure it out. Been an incredibly low scoring series in general. Pitching has been elite on both sides. Baltimore is a huge threat this year. No doubt about it.

Justice is served.

Uribe 6 games, Peralta 5, Siri 2 from the appeal and Murphy 2 games. Uribe and Peralta are appealing.

I heard a lot of uproar about the end of Mets/Cubs, but I went and watched it and I think they actually got it right. Blocking the plate can’t be called…the plate was open, and I don’t think Alonso’s hand got back down before the tag. If he’s been called safe, I think the call would stay safe…

I don’t think Mendoza knows the rule. You could hear him saying to the ump after the review “He was standing on the plate before he had the ball, you can’t do that”, but I don’t think there is anything prohibiting it

Ya, the Mets broadcast (best in the biz, IMO) was all over that. They highlighted that what the Cubs’ catcher did was brilliant and well within the rules.

6 runs in 4 games won't do it Yankees.

This offense right now is vomit inducing.

The city connect unicorns have been trash this year. They had some great ones the last few years. Haven't seen many I liked. Phillies uniforms are garbage too.
