Manny just needed a baby park to wake up this season.

Fortunately he was benched.

It’s a real wonder why their record is well below par

[UTexasFight 9444]

Eovaldi 3 hit CG SHO in 2:06

[UTexasFight 9444]

Lance Lynn takes a No-hitter in to the 7th.

its 10-3 Rays with 2 outs in the 7th 

[Scraps 13561]

[UTexasFight 9444]

If it’s against the Nats does it really count?

[shadow_operative2.0 15982]

Best part is he was technically sent down last night, then re-added today as the 27th DH body. So if they don't get rained out yesterday, he likely never gets a Major League hit. 

[shadow_operative2.0 15982]

16-11 final below the border, 11 bombs. Kinda the opposite of Sea/Tor. 

[Scraps 13561]

Yeah see i thought that line was for over/under 15.5 homers

[UTexasFight 9444]

Ohtani and Trout combine for 6 hits with Trout getting 2 HRs and 5 RBIs…

as the Angels fall to the Brewers 7-5

I had a small wager on the over in the SF/SD game earlier, but then looked down at my phone earlier after the game first ended and the total for tomorrow's game opened up at 15.5. I was planning on betting the f'n house, but was sitting at a poker table on edibles and got distracted. Just checked now and the line has moved all the way to 20.5, lulz. I may still bet it, but not huge like I was going to. 

[shadow_operative 15932]

who runs on ramon laureano?

 

 

[shadow_operative2.0 15982]

Especially a fucking C/1B.

Cool story. This kid is from Uganda. Busts his ass. We did some work to get him equipment working with members of the Red Sox Media team. Saw this today. 

FUCK YEAH! Hope he gets drafted.

Uganda sent a couple teams to the LLWS about a decade ago.

I felt racist when I barely learned after he died that he had no ties whatsoever to Uganda and it was just a character.

Well fuck me, dementia is setting in as I got nicknames mixed up and was channeling the Great Kabuki in what remains of my brain.

Actually that probably lowers the racism level. You gave him the benefit of the doubt. A true racist would have automatically assumed he was from some shithole like Senatobia, MS.

greatest night ever for a kid that grew up in Victoria ….

Riverside convention center, Kamala v Kerry Von Erik. It was packed and over sold. They ran out of beer cups and started selling beer in popcorn containers. By the final match, multiple fights had broken out in the crowd and the place was very very rowdy. It was a well fought march, and Kamala had Kerry pinned down several times but he somehow managed to escape Every Time ! In the end KVE prevailed. Several women threw bras and panties at him. We got pizza afterwards, the whole evening slammed

Hmmm ….

Saw clips from a game in Yankee Stadium a few days ago and there was a guy with a #3 jersey with Ruth on the back.  I just shook my damn head.

Best case of lolly-gagging I ever saw was Garry Templeton (could be wrong here, it was a long time ago) strolling down to 1B balancing his bat in the palm of his hand with his batting helmet perched on top of it.

A's starting pitching in 2023: 

0-15 with an 8.51 ERA

I'm watching the Mets game and Voglefat's new look is really something

Holmes blows the 2-0 lead in top 9, still 2nd & 3rd, 1 out.

this implosion by the nyy bullpen has been glorious. they're out here refusing to throw strikes to josh bell. 😂 they've just walked in a bunch of runs for the worst offense in the AL. 

[shadow_operative2.0 15982]

Guardians win. 

[shadow_operative2.0 15982]

 

But as I'm posting, he throws one into the 3rd row to blow their lead. 

[shadow_operative2.0 15982]

Verdugo into the bullpen to walk-off the Jays. 

[shadow_operative2.0 15982]

@Beau Vine's boy Brett Phillips has been active all season for LAA, still has yet to record a hit. 0/6, 3 BB on May 1.

What the fuck happened to Aroldis Chapman? 1.74 ERA in 11 innings and he’s hitting 103 or 104 on the radar gun every game. He was unbelievably terrible in NY last year and was lucky to hit 99.

[Guest]

His confidence seems bolstered by Jose Altuve's absence...

[shadow_operative2.0 15982]

Billy Hamilton had an opt-out today, so CWS brought him up. Not real sure he would have been in high demand elsewhere. 

Quote

He’s begun the 2023 season with a .188/.328/.271 slash in 59 Triple-A plate appearances.

57 points higher on OBP is pretty snappy
