    I fucking hate the runner on second to start the 10th. :angry:

    maybe in the 12th, but not the 10th.
    I hate it too but if they insist on doing the runner on base thing to make it easier for the offense to score, why not put the runner on the 1st? At least the defense can get the runner out with a double play ball. 
    You oughtta be the Commissioner.

    poo holes back to the cards.

    FWIW - NO ONE has had a higher OBP since bonds’ last year but no one would even give him the minimum. meanwhile, poo holes can compile a little more.

    His WAR has been abysmal.  He hit 40HR one year and only had a 3WAR.  If he hits and doesn't have to run, great.  If he is on 1st consider any grounder an easy DP.  Need him to score from 1st on a hit?  As long as it goes over the fence, sure.

    Pujols has been a shell of himself since coming to the Halos.  But I am glad he gets to go home in a Cards Uniform and maybe get that 700th HR.

    I thought it was an April Fools prank but DeGrom has tightness in his shoulder.

    That dude is friggin amazing when he is healthy.  Sucks he has been in and out of the DL.

    Yay! Opening Day. Yippee! Listening to baseball is great background noise while I work. I bought the MLB audio subscription and I was listening to a few spring training games over the past week or so. It was awesome! I love baseball season! It's my knitting time. I knit December holiday gifts while I listen to baseball. Best six months of the year. Hurray!

    What a great year to be an Oakland A's fan. They are going into a knife fight with a dull popsicle stick. Should be fun.

    Ha! My Aunt goes to a bunch of games every year. I am going to share that with her, maybe she can have a shirt made to wear to the games. They have been doing versions of this for so long that I should be used to it, but this year seems really extreme. For a team that supposedly wants to stay in Oakland, this seems a lot like Major League to me. If their Howard Terminal stadium deal falls apart, they will no longer be "rooted in Oakland" and will be moving to whatever city throws them the biggest check.

    So excited that baseball is back. Yesterday was a good day for a lot of reasons, but Opening Day made it even better.

    Lots of folks think they'll eventually follow the Raiders to Vegas, AKA the Oakland of the desert.

    I have heard those rumors too. I hope they can figure out the Howard Terminal site, but they need to get through a vote in June by some port authority oversite group first. They should have been able to move to San Jose years ago when they had the site picked out and had a agreement with the city. MLB should have released the Giants territorial claim to San Jose after they chose to stay in San Francisco.

    I agree---not sure what he's looking for if he's turning those down.

    I felt the same way about Correa. Did I want him to stay? Yes. Did I want the Astros to sell the farm in order to keep him? No. (Springer leaving stung quite a bit more for me)

  • Hahaha.  What a douche.  Bat flip is OK when you do the job.
    When you don't, you look like a total asshat.

    I know it's not MLB but thought I'd Posy here:

    Sasaki dominated Orix hitters using a wide array of pitches, including a fastball routinely topping 100 mph, a devastating splitter, and his signature forkball. He needed just 105 pitches to complete the masterpiece, which also included a run of 13 consecutive strikeouts.

    Good series by Jeremy Pena. Hoping that he can keep it rolling.
