    I don't think you flame him like grandpa redass did....and you certainly should think twice about publicly backing the other team after calling your own guy out 

    The love he receives is the love that is saved

    This is insane. Kluber hurls 6th no-no of the year! Nice that he's on my fantasy team.
    It's a hopeless situation...

    Ohtani looks good.  He has my MVP vote if he keeps this up.

    Dude should probably be MVP if he is average at both...he is a bit better than average at both

    Yep.  Can definitely agree with him being pissed that he missed or ignored the sign.  But the way he publicly admonished Mercedes like he's a child and then had no issue with the Twins throwing behind him is beyond absurd.  He blew the whole thing out of proportion and made it this huge story when it didn't need to be at all.

    Uhh yeah this guy is incredible.  Crazy to see this happening in 2021.

    Just as a hitter he is fire.  Add in that he has pitched incredibly well?
    Yeah, just crazy.

    Just nabbed Blue Jays/Astros tickets for a couple games next month in Buffalo.  Super pumped
    Nice.
    It still stings seeing Springer in a different uniform. Hope he heals up soon, though!
    Im going to have to pinch myself.  Being that close and seeing guys like Correa and Bichette, Altuve, Guerrero Jr, etc... from that close in such an intimate setting in my (non MLB) hometown in games that matter?  Holy shit!

    Going to try for Orioles tickets for later next month when they get released.  Hopefully the Canada restrictions continue.  I can see myself going to many games.  The hot tickets in town are the Yankees and Red Sox and frankly, those are 2 teams I care to see the least.
    When I met most of the Astros in ST last year, I was floored by just how freaking huge they were. Correa and Alvarez especially. Have a blast!

    Was talking baseball at the beginning of the season right after Ohtani hit his first blast a guy knew I rooted for the Angels and asked about Ohtani.  My response was this "Dude is special and if he is healthy he is exciting to watch from both sides of the field.  You got a glimpse w that HR on what he can do.  Keep watching."

    I am very happy at what he has been doing and just upset that he is on the west coast.  Y'all west coast peeps get all the best time slots to watch things.

    Yeah, crazy that they stink again.
    Traded away their closer.
    Non tendered their setup man.
    Cy Young winning pitcher signed elsewhere.

    Add to the obvious things and their front line sp sucks ass this year (Luis Castillo) and Sonny Gray was hurt to start, hasn't got it going yet.

    Hitting has been pretty good this year.

    We just got back yesterday from a fun baseball road trip. We drove up to Des Moines and saw the AAA Iowa Cubs, then drove to Cedar Rapids the next day and watched the A Kernels. After that, we drove to Chicago and went to the White Sox/Orioles game on Sunday. Drove back to KC from Chicago yesterday. What a blast!

    This has been going on as long as I can remember.  Nothing shocking here.  The batters will catch up again.  They always do.  When they do I'll be screaming to raise the damn mound again, lol!

    Nah, I think it's mainly the above. Plus, the ball still flies. I mean the stats are pretty clear. There is more than a significant jump in rotation on the ball, plus the more advanced materials for stickiness and approaches to doctoring the ball. I honestly think the answer is airport style security checks, haha, as the suggest in the article. Because there's just no way you adjust to this.
