April 8, 20187 yr Give the devil his due - Minor looking like a smart pick up by JD. Edited April 8, 20187 yr by Fozzz
April 8, 20187 yr Couple of tidbits tonight:Bay Area 2 LA 0 And even though the Angels lost, congrats to them for being the only SoCal team not to lose on a walkoff.
April 8, 20187 yr Kapler pulled Arrieta after 75 pitches in a tied game...in the 4th inning...while he was on deck. Interdasting.
April 8, 20187 yr Arrieta seems about as likely as Kapler to be the Phillies manager by the all star break.
April 8, 20187 yr Ohtani k’s the side in the 1st vs the A’s. Currently perfect through 3 with 6 k’s. Second-most fun MLB player to watch, behind Javy Baez (obviously).
April 9, 20187 yr ARod basically just admitted on the SNB broadcast that he sold out to the highest bidder in 2000 and that he would’ve played for the Mets if he could go back.

Kinda hurts to admit, but I really like ARod in the booth. He clearly does more prep work for each game than Kruk and Schilling combined did in an entire season.
April 9, 20187 yr I’m not sure if Callaway intentionally walking the bases loaded was brilliant or stupid but it worked

April 9, 20187 yr So Ohtani... AL pitcher and hitter of the week?Kinda hope he gets both players of the month. (As long as he lays an egg for 3 days apr 23-25)
April 9, 20187 yr Most players they’d have ripped for not trying to take third, and rightly so. But not Harper.Harper is the most scrutinized player in baseball now that ARod is retired.
April 9, 20187 yr In some circles, for sure. But they sure went light on him for making an obviously poor play.
April 9, 20187 yr Earlier in the game he missed catching a foul ball because he didn't want to break a nail
April 9, 20187 yr The Marlins are next-to-last in attendance this season, averaging 15,683 over 6 home games. Those 6 games were played against the Cubs and the Red Sox. Think about that....
April 9, 20187 yr Jeter getting what he deserves. Though I am guessing his long term plans are similar to Rachel Phelps except he wants to move the team out of Florida.
April 10, 20187 yr Scherzer nearly pitched a Maddux. 102 pitch CGSO with 10Ks, 0 BBs and 2 hits against a hot offense. Is that good?

April 10, 20187 yr I love watching Zack Godley pitch. Works fast. Dances around on the mound after almost every pitch. Wicked curves over and over and over. Bonus: 7 IP, 4 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 9 K tonight
April 10, 20187 yr Between the bat flip, 2nd deck, and amount of time it took him to circle the bases, this may be the best HR by a pitcher I’ve seen in a while...and ended up being the difference in a 1 run Padres win:https://www.mlb.com/video/c-1921283483
April 10, 20187 yr That's an awesome Scherzer stat... but if I was the Nats owner, I would've had an infarction seeing my 210,000,000-dollar pitcher run the bases like that.

Not that he had anyone but himself to blame for that meatball he served Mr. Richard. Thing was hit a ton.
April 10, 20187 yr Hey, fuck you, Jeter! Quote Root, root, root for the ... international offshore holding corporation? The Miami Marlins are claiming corporate citizenship in the British Virgin Islands in an effort to have a federally appointed arbitrator take over the lawsuit by Miami and Miami-Dade County to recover a share of the profits from Jeffrey Loria's $1.2 billion sale of the team to Derek Jeter and partners last fall. Lawyers representing the Marlins told a federal judge that at least one corporation that owns part of Marlins Teamco — the company Jeter and majority owner Bruce Sherman formed last year to buy the franchise — is based in the Caribbean. As a result, team lawyers argued, the dispute with Miami-Dade should be governed by jurisdictional rules that apply to international disputes. "One of the members of Marlins Teamco is a corporation incorporated in the British Virgin Islands with its principal place of business in the British Virgin Islands," the Marlins wrote in the court filing last month. "Accordingly, Marlins Teamco is a citizen of the British Virgin Islands" under federal law governing treaties. The legal argument drew a sharp brush back from county lawyers, who mocked the "Jeter Marlins" for invoking treaty law in a lawsuit involving a Miami baseball team and the municipal government that owns Marlins Park. "This is the most local of disputes, involving a locally-negotiated contract made between local parties under local law and requiring local performance," county lawyers wrote in arguing to keeping the lawsuit in Miami-Dade Circuit Court. If successful, the Marlins' request would strip the case from a Miami-Dade judge who has already sided with Miami and Miami-Dade in a preliminary ruling rejecting the arbitration that Loria lawyers requested from the outset. If the Marlins are deemed a foreign-owned corporation, a federal judge could take over and then consider whether to trigger an arbitration clause in the contract the two governments signed with Loria in 2009 to steer public dollars to a stadium complex that opened three years later. Miami, which owns the Marlins' parking garages, and Miami-Dade, which owns the stadium, are entitled to a share of certain profits from a team sale. But Loria lawyers claim the formula for calculating those profits yielded a paper loss of $140 million for a team that the New York dealer bought for $159 million in 2002. Lawyers for Jeter insist the profit-sharing fight is between the governments and Loria, who agreed to put $50 million of sale proceeds in an escrow account to resolve any claim that the new owners might have to pay. But Miami-Dade sued a Loria entity and the new Marlins when it filed suit in February. Miami promptly joined the suit, setting up a high-profile legal dispute between Jeter and his new hometown landlords. The litigation did not seem to dim relations between the new owner and local political leadership. Miami Mayor Francis Suarez and Miami-Dade Mayor Carlos Gimenez both threw out ceremonial first pitches on Opening Day, and the Gimenez administration is trying to accommodate Jeter's request to move the ballpark's county-owned "Homer" home-run sculpture off the property. A Marlins spokesman declined to comment Monday. The lawsuit does not provide any details for the British Virgin Islands entity, Abernue Ltd. The suit said the company owns a piece of Marlins Holdings LLC, which is the sole owner of Marlins Funding, which is the sole owner of Marlins Teamco. The suit does not identify the national origins of other owners of Marlins Holdings, and county lawyers said the omission strongly suggests those corporations are U.S.-based. If that's the case, Miami-Dade lawyers argued, then the Major League baseball franchise in Miami should not be considered a foreign corporation. "If even one of the Jeter Marlins’ members is a United States citizen," the county wrote, "then the Jeter Marlins is a United States citizen."

April 10, 20187 yr Molina gets a 1 game suspension because he didn’t like being called a motherfucker by the Dbacks manager Well ain't that a motherfucker
April 11, 20187 yr 4 hours ago, TonyTexas said: Molina gets a 1 game suspension because he didn’t like being called a motherfucker by the Dbacks manager The fact that Yadier Molina is a big crying bitch has already been established. This incident just confirms it. Quote Facebook Messenger Pinterest Email print comment Team captain Yadier Molina wants United States outfielder Adam Jones to apologize to Puerto Rico's players for saying they were planning a postgame party in San Juan before the World Baseball Classic championship game was even played. Molina made his comments to ESPN's Marly Rivera during Thursday's parade in San Juan, less than a day after Jones told MLB Network that Puerto Rico's postgame plans sounded a little premature and inspired the United States' dominating 8-0 victory. "Adam Jones ... is talking about things he doesn't know about," Molina told ESPN. "He really has to get informed because he shouldn't have said those comments, let alone in public and mocking the way [preparations] were made." Jones noted that the Puerto Rico team had champion T-shirts already made up as well and that "didn't sit well with us, so we did what we had to do." A flight to Puerto Rico and a "caravan" and celebration already had been planned before the title game was played. "He has to apologize to the Puerto Rican people," Molina said. "Obviously, you wanted to win; he didn't know what this means to [our] people."
