1:07: Harper walks to the 7-11 and orders an all-syrup Slurpee.

1:10-3:05: Harper has no recollection of this time. Aliens?

He at least didn't look atrocious on both sides of the ball like iannetta. Hope Perez can do better.

Angels still keep sending Matt Joyce out there over cowgill, who can almost certainly be better regardless of platoon situation.

Also weaver is completely cooked, says he feels great and healthy and just can't throw hard enough to get guys out. Really depressing yo watch him get shelled every time out.

Star Wars Night is something only minor league teams who are desperate for attendance do so I guess it's the perfect thing for the Twins.

Ask me how to run a good team into the ground.
Padres call up top prospect Austin Hedges. Sort of a weird move since Norris kind of owns right now and Hedges won't be playing much; but Wil Nieves is garbage so guess that's why they did it.

I don't know what words Brook Jacoby could have said to get 14 games, so he must have shoved him or something.

Considering a player can get like 3 days for punching someone in the face, Bruce must have done the most illegal move in the history of wrestling to that ump

My guess is he untucked, punched the ump in the dick, and then stood there admiring his hit.

The Jacoby thing prompted a rule change in Fenway about how umpires and teams leave the field so he musta hit someone.

Although I am curious why the Hanley injury play wasn't ruled a catch on review. He clearly has the ball in the pocket of his glove and gets two full strides in before he hits the wall and jars it loose.

I was so disappointed when I checked the Red Sox/Jays box score and saw Joe West wasn't on the crew for that series :(

Would hitting Joe be enough to qualify someone for immediate HOF induction?

Clearly running into the wall did not constitute a "baseball move."

I think you have to kill him for immediate HOF induction.

Just hitting him makes you a lock for when the other requirements are met, though.
