Cardinals actually. And I lost the love probably 3-4 years ago.

Isn't he the Stat guy that got hired to be a major league manager? I doubt he lasts his contract the way he's alienating his own players - future superstars no less.

Yep.  And had spent a ton of time with the Rangers organization

I've been watching Korean games, tyvm.  And I saw half a Tigers game last week.

Nothing but respect for my President.

Giants pitcher Shaun Anderson threw 95 MPH at Mike Trout’s head twice in a game where his team was winning 8-1.  Somehow didn’t get ejected.

Kenta Maeda's no-hit bit ends in the Top of the 9th. Good job not jinxing it, everybody. Sahyder did it somewhere I'm sure. 

[Lowerdeck]

I see the Sox have given up 13 runs tonight and will likely be losing 9 games in a row now

 

Time to just get rid of the journeymen and AAAA bums and bring up the prospects

And just that quick, the Brewers tie it up and he won’t even get the win.

[Krabby]

This whole thing with Fernando Tatis Jr. And the rangers is ridiculous. If you don't want to watch a guy who leads the league in HR hit a freaking grand slam, maybe don't pitch him a gopher ball...like I'm sorry if your feelings got hurt, but maybe next time just walk him. Watching that ball go over the fence should make you want to be better so he doesn't do that next time, not pitch at the next dude's body.

Breaking news: Boston actually won a game

[gunnar hendershow]

Randal Grichuk absolutely destroyed the Orioles this week. After a fun start we're back at .500 and probably heading down more. Can't win a game at home to save our lives.

[Meacon Keaton]

Wasn't it last year or the year before where Baltimore started off hot in April, or well, hot for the Orioles, and people were like "Whoa! Look out!" and they still won only 50-or so games. 

It was 2017! They didn't win 50-some games, but they did still finish dead last I believe.

They played really well until around Memorial Day that year and then just utterly collapsed. And it's basically been that way since.

They were out of it by the trade deadline because they almost moved Britton to Houston but Angelos vetoed the deal. If they tried harder they probably could have moved Machado that year too and gotten a whole hell of a lot more than they did.

Today I learned who Thom Brennan is, and that's he a massive tool. I can't imagine he doesn't get fired for this. 

[The Buscher]

It’s okay, he has a spot at the Republican National Convention waiting for him.

[gunnar hendershow]

That's actually Thom Brennaman who also calls (called?) NFL games for Fox.

[Your Mom]

He used to call Cubs games for a while I think. Glad those days are over

[gunnar hendershow]

Calling a home run in the middle of what's supposed to be a serious apology. Get this guy out of here.

[Maxx]

 Oh my god, that is some Brockmire shit
