Aaron Jerdge homered and is off to a hot start this year. And at least no one died. Maybe tomorrow we’ll beat them 14-1.

Anyone else just see that "throw" by Khris Davis on MLB Net? 

Yeah, he struggles with that.   

[Goo Punch 4275]

Aaron Jerdge for MVP.

[Fozzz 152]

Yankees outfield defense is hot fucking garbage with Hicks out.

O/U on how long we have to wait for MiKKKKKe Stanton's next 5 strikeout game?

[TheFlagship 432]

Ozzie Albies plays every game like he’s on coke and I’m here for it.

The Red Sox look great so far... but let's pump the brakes until we see them face a contender.

Shit, Arenado meant business. 

Also, #48 on the Rockies looked like a huge pussy.

[Henry Hill 3156]

Love Arenado’s intensity.

[MC Fresh Breath 4074]

Yeah, surprised Perdomo was able to duck that.  Thought it was easier to get a hit in Coors Field.

[ERhine 1894]

What led up to that?

Stealing this from a reddit comment thread...was written by an SD fan:

BACKSTORY FOR EVERYONE ELSE WHO WASNT WATCHING:

Last night, Padres CF was hit chest high in the ribs, leading to a 10 day DL stint announced today. Appeared unintentional.

This afternoon, Perdomo plunked Trevor story. Looked unintentional but may not have been.

Shortly thereafter, Rockies pitcher hit Hunter Renfroe high and on the wrist. Looked unintentional, but was a dangerous location nonetheless.

Perdomo then threw belt high and behind Arenado, leading to this.

EDIT: Digging even deeper, Padres 3B Villanueva hit 3HRs in one game during the earlier series and was plunked afterwards. So this might have been brewing in some degree for over a week.

EDIT 2: For further context, since the season began, 5 Padre hitters have been hit by Rockies pitchers, including one that sent starting CF Margot to the hospital with a rib injury. 1 COL hitter was hit (Trevor Story today) and then Perdomo threw behind Arenado

 

 

 

[maninblack 7974]

I'm going to have to go to the game tomorrow

[ERhine 1894]

Thanks MC. Figured based on location and reaction from Arenado there was something behind it.

[TheFlagship 432]

Some wild afternoon baseball today.

[clapclapclap 9000]

Perdomo-Arenado, Mr. Roboto.

 

I also like Gerardo Parra trying to block the field goal:

His hair has turned from black into bright white

He said that it was from when

The car had smashed so hard

The Cubs bullpen dance to Javy’s blast was hilarious.

Likely TJ for Travis d’Arnaud, that dude is just never healthy. 

[Henry Hill 3156]

Hopefully the above link works. No clue how to link videos from the At Bat app.

[TheFlagship 432]

Brawl at Fenway. Some real punches were exchanged. Have to see the replay to see if Sanchez landed any sucker punches this time.

[dbecks 442]

The rivalry ain’t dead by a damn sight. 

[Henry Hill 3156]

Holy crap. What a day for baseball.

Was hoping to see Stanton swing and miss a couple more times.

Actually the players did a pretty good job in separating everything.

[dbecks 442]

Ouch.

[Doug E. Fresh 452]

Austin deserved every bit of that pitch.  His slide into 2nd earlier in the game was fucking dirty.

Just saw that. Yeah Austin is getting a nice little vacation for being a little bitch.

[Teddy Tucker 18]

Agreed straight gunning for the second baseman’s ankle. Sliding like that needs to be banned with harsher penalties. Give me an old school speil if you want, but honestly what good is that in the game. Best way to breakup a double play is to have a better at bat and not roll over. 

[Helobious 9448]

Yankees win, haters gonna hate. Stanton & Sanchez’s bats seem to be awakening. 

 

And I’d like to see a basebrawl where the players actually look like they’ve been in a fight before. They’re so pathetic. Austin falling down today was embarrasing, as was the Padres pitcher who went into a full backpedal as Arenado charged. Haven’t seen a good baseball fight since Odor straight clocked Bautista.

[shnsajax 3591]

Sanchez went 0-4 yesterday has 3 hits to boost his average to .122 and an ops of .533 and he’s heating up.

Yes, it was.  The commentators tried to cover for him saying he slid over the bag, but legal doesn't make it right.  You go in spikes up like that and you're gonna eat a fastball.  Been that way for 150 years.

That dude is a pussy.  That's a blatantly illegal and dirty slide.  Did they not call the guy out at first after that slide?

[Goo Punch 4275]

Look at these majestic shots: 

 

[Goo Punch 4275]

The announcer who seemed to genuinely and passionately believe that that was a legitimate slide probably posts here. Good lord. Spikes up into his plant leg. That’s as bad as it gets.

I'm cool with a ball coming after you for that. He's a bitch for charging.

[Helobious 9448]

Fun fact: Tyler Austin’s actually a cancer survivor. They got rid of the cancer, but it’s hard to eradicate all of the douche out of some people. It was a dirty slide, but it could’ve been way worse. He could’ve done it to a non-Red Sox player.

[Netzer 157]

Wouldn't be surprised if Kevin Morgan is a Yankees fan.

[txhorns 2409]

Tyler Austin's slide was dirty as shit.  We will hear all about how his foot just popped up and he couldn't help it from the Yankees side but that's complete bullshit.  Your foot doesn't come up like that unless you are intentionally going after the opposing player.  

[Doug E. Fresh 452]

His foot didn’t only come up, he aimed to the left right at an ankle.

[Beau Vine 54211]

OK, I didn't see the game, and I'm just now looking at the box score and the highlights...

1.  Joe Kelly is a bigger pussy than Tyler Austin.  If you're going to hit the guy, hit him.  Kelly threw a first pitch slider to Austin for a strike, then threw a fastball waaaay inside that was probably supposed to hit Austin.  Then he threw another slider (low), and then he hit him on the next pitch.  That's fucking bullshit.  If you're going to hit him on purpose, do it ASAP.  Austin has a legit reason to be upset about that. 

2.  Really impressed by Aaron Judge.  How the hell did he get out there so quickly?  And I think you can credit him for it not getting more out of control than it did.  He's pretty much the exact opposite of Gerardo Parra.

[txhorns 2409]

Austin has no legit reason to be upset.  He made a bitch move intended to hurt the other player.  Austin deserves everything he got and a lengthy suspension.

[Huckleberry 32851]

Yeah, that slide was absolutely terrible. Holt obviously measured the situation and decided against starting shit immediately. Must not have attended Odor's Offseason Pugilist Training Camp.

[UTexasFight 9431]

Meanwhile Boston not fucking around.
Up 4-0 in the 2nd.

[WBT 20561]

Lulz, Stanton may strike out 5 times a night but at least he's flashing some leather out there.
