John Taylor

DFA this punk! he had 2 strikes and he throws a fastball right down Broadway. Get rid of him Billy

If I were Heaney I would be throwing shit in the dugout and pissed off at Maddon

Our bullpen blows

Ya know, I was really pissed at Assmus last season for having the quick hook on SP, and I expected better from Maddon  Could we maybe let starters go longer than 4-5 innings?

OHTANI SAN!

Yeah his timing or mechanics seem off. 

This isn't the type of season for him not to come out of the gate strong... especially when he's going to miss a few games after the birth of his kid.

I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of the players' timing were off due to the lack of reps since March. looks like Ohtani is starting to get his swing back, and Trout will most likely regain his timing soon as he gets his reps in.

Damn, Goodwin batting 9th? What has Walsh done to deserve hitting 7th?

ahh the 'ol "two leadoff hitters" method perfected by the Big Lasagna himself.

Surface transmission is pretty much non-existent so disinfecting is just a placebo.

I did sit in a room for 8 hours a day for 2 days with someone who ended up testing positive for Covid. We all had masks though and i'm at day 7 since initial contact with no symptoms. I actually had to get tested today because I found out this morning I was exposed. I personally don't feel I was in close enough contact with them for me to have gotten infected, and like you said, surface transmission hasn't been documented (that I am aware of)

Yikes. Theoretically if the entire team has to quarantine for 14 days that throws a bunch of stuff in disarray. I hope this isn't the beginning of the end for the MLB season.

I haven't seen any pics of trout's mom, so I think I'm gonna have to go with momma yelich in this category.

lol Verlander said his arm issue is a "Forearm strain"

We all know what that means.

See ya in 2023 Verlander.

No Way. Send his ass packing

Right. Of course he'll be alright. He's got a beautiful wife and is set for life financially. lol

Yeah, I can't find it in my heart to feel sorry for him or the Asstros. 

Trout knew that his job was to drive in runs in that AB. That's our MVP

CHIP AWAY AT THAT LEAD BOYS!

TROUT!!!!

Shohei's breaking ball didn't look terrible, some spots could have been called strikes on the breaking ball, his fastball was off but his velocity did start to improve (91-92 but was hitting 94-95 before he got yanked), although his control on the FB never improved. I don't think he threw a single splitter (Maybe he threw 1?) so basically what we saw was a pitcher who looked like he was in his 2nd or 3rd Spring Training start.

So in conclusion there is no conclusion.

"Sho him the way to the dugout" Sundays

Meh, Ohtani didn't get to pitch during spring training, and I don't know how much he got to pitch during summer camp, I won't start to panic until he has "forearm tightness"

How many bags has that cardboard peanut vendor sold?

lol that's Tom Hanks

It's his first start in almost 2 years, calm down everyone, lol

Yep. Upton gets a second chance, takes a pitch right down Broadway, and hits a weak fly out.

Buttrey literally has no control of his pitches out there.

Is our blowpen going to give away another game?
