My friend texted me his agony after watching the game. An infield pop up walk off.

[m0nkey]

Evan Longoria went 1-6 with a single and it raised his ops to .280

[Lou]

Lonnie Chisenhall is 1 for his last 9.

He's also leading the Indians in hitting with a .235 BA

Enny Romero a LHP reliever just designated for assignment. Has uppers 90's fb, has reached 100 in the past, pretty good Cutter and Curve and has a BB issue. Did have a solid 2017 for the Nats in 2017. 

Wouldn't mind taking a chance on him.

Cron finally hit a HR but his numbers still suck.

[Lou]

Grichuk is 2 for 30 (.067) with an OPS of .314

[m0nkey]

Yadier molina was somehow not ejected

 

 

[Blarg]

Shoving an umpire is an automatic suspension. And it wasn't anything polite between the two, Timmons knocked the mask out of his hand pushing back and still was shoved again by Molina. I'm betting he is sitting out a couple games when it hits Torre's office.

[Blarg]

BTW Pollock wasn't ejected for arguing the call, look closely and he jestures to his crotch while walking away.

[laagamer]

Cron launched a bomb against the sox

Stanton has more strikeouts than every team in baseball(don't fact check this)

[fan_since79]

Boston has started the season 8-1 for the first time in their history after a walk-off hit.

 

[Lou]

Stanton booed again after going 0-7 with 5 Ks.

He becomes the first player in the live-ball era to go Ofer with 5 Ks twice in a season. He did it in his first 10 games as a Yankee.

Setting records daily.

Anyone watching the Mets/Nats game on ESPN? Harper just gave up on a pop up near the RF foul line, which then dropped less than a foot in front of his face. He put his hands up like someone was trying to punch him in the face. It was hilarious. I can't wait to see the GIF.

I would still be okay having him on our team

Trout-Harper-Upton-Ohtani hitting 2-3-4-5 ... wow.

At this point it has to be mental. He'll settle down. Maybe he's intimidated a bit by the big stage in NY.

Coincidentally, Mike's contract is up at the end of this season  .. which means we are free to concoct lineup iterations without Pujols hitting 4th!
