So that does look a lot more difficult than I remember high school ball being. I guess Gallo would beat me in a hitting contest probably. 

[gsoda3 3,263]

lol leclerc sucks

[shadow_operative2.0 16,005]

He did recently get IL’d again though.

Yeah I was definitely talking about him and not Leclerc throwing 97.

Wait am I missing the sarcasm?

I'm not being sarcastic, just surprised a kid throwing 60-65 is a higher level of HS play than you remembered.

Imagine how shitty you have to be to get cut by the angels. I guess Aaron Hicks found out today. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16,005]

They replaced him with Mr. Vanessa Hudgens, so a win for the family section. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16,005]

Ha, now the Mets will lose.

Sure didn't take long for the best team in baseball to cough up that early lead in the standings to the Orioles.

I’m curious what the career BAs are of all 30 regular catchers in MLB (throw out Maldonado who has had no business being an everyday catcher since probably pre-Covid )

 

[YGIFS 19,452]

I just saw the breakdown of Longhorns in the Show this season (plus a couple that will likely get the call at some point from AAA who've already been up but aren't up now).  

I didn't realize that Kody Clemens has played 8 of 9 positions in the field, including pitcher.   Everything except CF.  And he's DH'd.  Pretty cool.  

Elder had a fantastic April.  Hope he gets more starts as the season progresses.  He's earned it.

Didn’t realize the season ended today. Wow.

[Beau Vine 54,253]

If Derka weren't banned, he'd be driving the CJ Abrams bandwagon, and I'd hop on.

Dude is a bad ass, but cursed. And he plays for the Angels.

My coaches always taught me to attack grounders. Never realized I should’ve taken looping routes to them and then just unloaded a Peacekeeper missile in the general direction of 1st base the entire time.

Dodgers v Dbacks are in a delay due to a bee colony.  That’s a first for me.

There was one in Baltimore’s bullpen last summer.  Fortunately, it wasn’t in close proximity to players or fans and became only a curiosity.  If I recall, a beekeeper came after the game, captured the queen, and escorted her and her minions to another location.

Happened at Petco in 2019.

 

Also happened during a Reds-Giants game in May of 2019.   

[shadow_operative2.0 16,005]

107 to not get the out is incredibly unimpressive.

Look at Jon Singleton batflipping here like he's Korean:

10/10

[Helobious 9,462]

Bat flipping like that with a 10-17 record is definitely a choice.

Does that announcer accidentally say, "That was an absolutely blistered ball into the upper taint?"  What in the hell?

That was Blum

Who also says dumb shit

Sometimes you just gotta blast the upper taint tho

[YGIFS 19,452]

Okay, that makes more sense.  Doesn't make sense, but it makes more sense.  If that makes any sense.  That was a great shot though.  Exit velocity had to be off the charts.  

I know there's more disparity than ever in the game, but to see two teams already---on May 1st---to be 13.5 games behind is just fucking incredible to me.  I know it's a cruel game and that's the point, but to be that far back on May Day, how do fans even bother this summer?  Ah well, at least my hometown Cubbies are starting to get their shit together again.  

Anecdotal, but Mookie Betts has been playing out of his fucking mind this past month.  

[Zonahorn 8,079]

Does anybody want a lightly used Adbert Alzolay? 

[TonyTexas 10,516]

This is going to fuck a lot of fans. Affected teams include the Atlanta Braves, Cincinnati Reds, Detroit Tigers, Kansas City Royals, Los Angeles Angels, Miami Marlins, Milwaukee Brewers, Minnesota Twins, St. Louis Cardinals, San Diego Padres, Tampa Bay Rays and Texas Rangers.
