WEEK 7: WHERE WE STAND  MONDAY'S SCHEDULE  A lot of off-days, it being a Monday. Blue Jays are bound to be all fired up - could be bad news for the Rays, especially given the pitching matchup. Chad Green makes his MLB debut with the Yankees. Opening act of the freeway series features a pretty uneven matchup in Shoemaker v. Maeda. Today in Baseball History courtesy baseball-reference.com 1909 - National League President John Heydler calls a meeting with the league's umpires to discuss ways that the new two-umpire system can prevent fighting by the players. A serious incident occurred several days earlier in Boston when Reds catcher Frank Roth attacked umpire Steve Cusack after a play at home. Several other Reds players threatened the umpire with baseball bats. 1939 - With half the expected crowd on hand due to the cold weather, only 15,109 fans at Shibe Park see the Indians defeat the A's, 8 - 3, in 10 innings, in the first night game ever played in the American League. 1957 - The Yankees top Kansas City, 3 - 0, behind Bob Turley's four-hit shutout. That night a group of Yankees celebrate Billy Martin's 29th birthday in raucous fashion. An ensuing fight at Manhattan's Copacabana Club leads to $5,500 in fines and the eventual trade of Billy to Kansas City. 2015 - Miguel Cabrera hits the 400th home run of his career against Tyler Lyons in the 1st inning of a game against the Cardinals. With the blast, he passes both Andres Galarraga, who held the record for most homers by a player from Venezuela, and Detroit Tigers legend Al Kaline, who both finished with 399 homers. Born on This Day  1928 - Billy Martin 1955 - Jack Morris 1986 - Andy Dirks 1993 - Luis Sardinas

Today's Red Sox/Royals game is rained out, DH on Wednesday. Looking at the radar, the Royals could have easily gotten the game in if they wanted to, but they blew out their bullpen yesterday, so they took the opportunity to call it off.

For how bad the Braves have been, it's actually been a while since they got a good ol' rear end-whipping. That may change tonight. TheChaosPath posted:Meh, might as well bat the pitcher fourth with this roster I can just see Fredi taking notes and nodding.

Tyler Goeddel has really found his sea legs, which is good to see. Hopefully soon we can have a Goeddel/ Herrera/ Altherr outfield, which will be so much more fun than running Peter Bourjos and David Lough out there.

Shoemaker v Maeda followed by Weaver v Kershaw is not fair.

Jose Berrios can't locate anything, gives up 6 runs on 3 hits and 4 walks, still strikes out Justin Upton.

well drat, Francoeur actually hit one out. Braves' 10th homer of the year and it's only May 16. (actually this is terrible because it means Francoeur will bat even more)

I really don't care about him being on the team right now, just worried that they'll hang onto him for next year when he'll actually be taking at bats away from people with value and futures.

I came into this though: https://youtu.be/AkOh76XqHts Friend of mine found audio and it includes a lot of "fucks" and "poo poo"'s though. I'm sure it will be in some highlight soon. Edit: Called strike that was (maybe) inside I guess set him off.
