This is a f*cking awesome job by MLB though to do this.

Would love for the Brits to get into baseball.

The pitching didn't make it through customs but it's a terrific game to watch. They did an outstanding job promoting the game by utilizing the two greatest MLB rivals. My son who is attending school there this summer is at the game.

17-13. Chapman coming in to hopefully end this.

Fun fact: Encarnacion 0-5, 5 strikeouts.

Puig got hbp and then started yelling at Cubs pitcher Strop. After the game, Strop commented:

 "It's not a secret he's stupid. He's stupid as f---. I have nothing against him but he's stupid. There's no doubt about it."

Hate to be a dick but they won’t. They might get into the NFL a little but they give f*ck all about baseball. One British guy at my work said they already did away with rounders once and they don’t want to go through that again.

^The mention of rounders and Brits reminded me of when I lived in England in middle school, I was so much better at rounders than every other kid it wasn't even funny. I was a pretty good baseball player in the US but not special; but in England playing rounders I was a man among boys.

The point being: the Brits suck at baseball.

MLB abandoned plans for an opening series in Asia next year.

I guess I will plan for a trip to see the Angels play in Japan in 2021

I assume we will never see a MLB game played in Qatar.

Only 16 XBHs in London yesterday?

San Juan says hold my beer.

[AngelsLakersFan]

Another 20 runs today... A lot of speculation about why but aside from a couple cheap homeruns, who knows?
