You guys played good and the A's played like crap. Errors, LOB.. Hurting us big time early in the season!

Timmy apparently looked pretty good in his showcase.

It's official...Matt Harvey sucks!!

Re: 2016 MLB Thread
 

So I finally saw clips of that Texas/Toronto mess. My thoughts? First, the take-out slide is as much a part of baseball as is the "neighborhood" play, and since Odor was clearly off the bag Bautista was actually safe, so there was no possibility of a double-play anyway . . . except that there was, since that is baseball. Am I making any sense? Second, a shove to the chest is not part of baseball, and a sock to the jaw is most definitely not part of baseball. If a few players get fined or suspended, that's cool. But if Odor doesn't get absolutely hammered, that stinks.

In the Dominican Republic? :D

Did you know that Ichiro entered action tonight needing only 4 hits to pass Pete Rose? Yes, nearly 1300 of those came in Japan, and this milestone is a HUGE event over there, but very few people in this country are paying any attention. Not surprisingly, one of those people is Pete Rose, who in typical Charlie Hustle fashion is dismissing it as meaningless, even going so far as to sarcastically suggest they count Ichiro's high school hits as well. In contrast, Suzuki just shrugs and says he simply wants to go out and do his best every chance he gets.

If Rose had a tenth the class as does Ichiro, maybe the half of baseball who hates his guts would have a better opinion of him. Me, I just hope Ichiro becomes a first-ballot HOF player, and that Rose never gets within a hundred miles of Cooperstown.

Re: 2016 MLB Thread
 

I agree with Pete. :r

Re: 2016 MLB Thread
 

When it comes to the MLB record, i don't disagree with Rose. I am just appalled he handles this with all the grace God gave a rabid badger . . . again.

Re: 2016 MLB Thread
 

Yeah, Rose isn't exactly the King of Subtle. :)

Epic collapse by the Tigers yesterday. Geez.

Re: 2016 MLB Thread
 

I did not know Bill Belichick was scouting for the Red Sox now. :D

Amazing stuff going on in Miami. A great tribute, some cool dramatic moments already.

R.I.P., Jose Fernandez.

Re: 2016 MLB Thread
 

Not happy with this...but it's fitting.

RIP Jose.

Re: 2016 MLB Thread
 

That leadoff home run and reacrion was almost heartbreaking.

Not so heartbreaking for you, Mac, Cards are down 14-1. -(P

Re: 2016 MLB Thread
 

Powerful stuff last night. That rendition of Take Me Out to The Ballgame was really moving.
If you asked me who was going to take the mantle of best pitcher in baseball when Kershaw was done with it, Jose would've been my answer.
Tragic loss for the game.

R.I.P. Jose

Re: 2016 MLB Thread
 

I watched the opening tribute and the HR. It certainly brought a tear to my eye. Very touching.

RIP Jose.

Re: 2016 MLB Thread
 

Man....I'm not really a MLB fan until October, but seeing that stuff today got me a little misty. Crazy how this type of stuff can bring out the best of humanity. I was moved by not only the HR heroics, but the pre game Mets class & post game mound tribute.

Sport is great. Well done, both teams, you did it right.

Re: 2016 MLB Thread
 

Mets absolutely showed a ton of class.

The caps all left on the mound after the game was pretty special too.

Re: 2016 MLB Thread
 

Not sure how Buck left in "Johnny serve it up" in the 11th and not bring in his stud closer that hasn't allowed a run in like 8 years. wow

Re: 2016 MLB Thread
 

Kate Upton = not a good sport. Reminds me of when the two NY writers left Pedro off their ballots when he had arguably the greatest season in the modern era... deal with it Kate but way to look like a nut. :lr

Kate Upton is FURIOUS Justin Verlander didn't win the A.L. Cy Young Award -- sending a scorching note to the MLB writers who voted on it ... YOU F**KED MY FIANCE.

Verlander came in 2nd in the voting behind Red Sox pitcher Rick Porcello -- despite the fact Justin had more 1st place votes.

FYI -- the Cy Young voting system is weighted. Writers fill in a name for 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th place -- a 1st place vote is worth 7 points. 2nd is worth 4, 3rd is worth 3, 4th is 2 and 5th is 1.

Verlander had 14 1st place votes. Rick had 8 ... but Rick beat Verlander out in the overall scoring.

Enter Upton who went all scorched Earth on the process.

"Hey @MLB I thought I was the only person allowed to f**k @JustinVerlander ?! What 2 writers didn't have him on their ballot?"

"He had the majority of 1st place votes and 2 writers didn't have him on their ballots?!! can you pick more out of touch people to vote?@MLB"

"Sorry Rick but you didn't get any 1st place votes? you didn't win. #ByeFelicia @MLB keep up with the times and fire those writers."

Re: 2016 MLB Thread
 

That's priceless.

Re: 2016 MLB Thread
 

I guess 16-9 is awesome to her. :lr

Re: 2016 MLB Thread
 

I'd take Kate over Cy anyday anyway. :r
