Silly poo poo is happening today, I guess this is what happens when you’re trying to keep your 35 year old LF fresh and all your CFs are injured

Should be a really fun game... that I won’t get to watch because of work

Stanton will be fine, but I’m sure boos in his first home game will impact his 2020 opt out and will also make Machado/Harper/any big name FA think twice about avoiding a team that’ll pay em an ungodly sum of money 🙄

when was the last time a manager had such a bad run at the very beginning of their tenure? the only one I remember is Bobby Valentine in Boston but that was hilarious for a totally different reason

it is a drat shame that nobody appreciates what Trout is doing on a regular basis. exempting his 40 game cup of coffee dude is a career .309/.414/.573 hitter! 55.8 WAR in just under 4000 PAs!

literally the reincarnation of Mantle, just comically boring

if you were to by WAR/PA (rudimentary, but let's go with it), here's how Trout stacks up

Trout - 0.013 WAR/PA (per 600 PAs - 8.3 WAR)
Bonds - 0.012 WAR/PA (per 600 PAs - 7.7 WAR)
Mantle - 0.011 (per 600 PAs - 6.6 WAR)
A-Rod - 0.0096 (per 600 PAs - 5.7 WAR)
Aaron - 0.0102 (per 600 PAs - 6.2 WAR)

give the man his due drat it

Syndergaard doesn't even feel like a real pitcher, his stuff is literally some of the most ridiculous i've ever seen

if you had to pick one pitcher vs. hitter matchup to convince someone to watch baseball, what would you pick? It has to be from this decade though. I think I'm gonna with this one.

it's Miggy right when he was starting to slide down from his peak, Betances at his best. I remember exactly where I was when I saw this go down (at home, pacing around the room because Miggy was still Miggy)

Baseball’s unwritten garbage rules strike again, because Francisco Lindor felt compelled to apologize for the above dinger

https://twitter.com/jessesanchezmlb/status/986440193203998720?s=21

Considering the context of the game it’s pretty lovely that he felt he had to preemptively apologize for his celebration. This sport is so dumb sometimes

Thanks for the tips to the above posters, really appreciate it

I’m thinking about starting up a general advice thread for goons who travel to see their teams. Like I’ll write something up for New York and what to do/see around trips to the ballpark. It’ll also be a place where people can post their trip pictures and report back

K-Boxes are terrible because every stadium has a different camera set up so in some places you don't even see the correct call just because of the camera angle

what stadium has a true center field camera? like the one where it's centered behind the pitcher and straight?

between the Seager injury not being dealt with early on and benching Bellinger for not hustling I would be very mad at the Dodgers if I was a fan
