Know you guys don't care but Iannetta (who threw many swears) was just intentionally beaned by former Mariner pitcher Tom Wilhelmsen (Ejected) who is now a Ranger .... benches briefly cleared as the M's have destroyed the Rangers in the 8th.

 

I care. Was a big fan of Iannetta and Freese when they were with the Angels. Wish the angels attempted to re-sign them.

Vin Sully should have retired 10 years ago.

I'm still a young guy, what would I do with my life?

Will we ever score a run this year??

Trevor story hit another bomb

[CaliAngel]

Stupid Bautista grabbed the SS's leg who was trying to turn 2 as he slid into 2nd base, made an errant throw.

 

Replay ensued. Umps called it a double play to end the game.

 

Stupid Bautista was stupid.

Girardi protesting that Correa running on the grass made Betances throw wild to first. I agree with Dana DeMuth, if he's on the grass throw it at his back. It's your job to get the out, not protect the runner.

[arch stanton]

from ESPN:

 

Joe Girardi is playing Tuesday's game between the Yankees and Astros under protest. Girardi had a fit over the go-ahead run coming across in the eighth inning when reliever Dellin Betances shot putted a ball over first baseman Mark Teixeira's head on an infield single from Carlos Correa. Girardi argued that Correa was inside the baseline and should've been called out. The play is not reviewable. Correa was on the infield grass as he went up the line, but -- even after conferring with his fellow umpires -- Dana DeMuth refused to change his mind. The Astros are leading the Yankees, 3-2, in the eighth.

 

 

edit: 5-2 now, Astros in the 8th.

Bury the ball between the R's on his name tape and he's out. Problem solved.

Pujols and Trout (0-15, 5 Ks) are already wearing theirs..

Are the Padres still in MLB?

Hey Cezero, today is the 39th anniversary of the M's debut game (against the Halos in the Kingdome).

Despite losing the first two games and being shut out in both games by Tanana and Ryan, the M's took two of the next 3 to close the season opening 5 game series.

It's not often that two teams play a FIVE game series to open a season. 

[Sully151]

The same could be said for the team to the North of San Diego.

Puig looks really, really good so far

Cubs go from Anaheim to play the Diamondbacks, then home to face the Reds and Rockies...

 

They could go 12-0 to start the season.

They could also go 2-10 to start the season.

Care to lay some money on that?

Lenonys Martin HR for Seattle. 8 total home runs so far for Seattle and it's only the 2nd inning of game 3. They're up 3-0

Cano hits his 3rd HR in his 3rd game. Took him until June 22nd to hit 3 last season.

 

I think Andy Van Slyke's comments might have pissed him off in the offseason .... as well as the lingering injuries being gone.

[Angel Oracle]

I still have that vision of Van Slyke sitting in the OF, after the Braves walked off the 1992 NLCS.

[Troll Daddy]

I prefer to lay money on that they won't go 12-0.

You mean they were up 3-0

5-3 Texas

I'll lay money on them not going 12-0.

Seriously.
