    And unless the rest of the bullpen gets its shit straightened out, Davis and Edwards are going to be crying for mercy by the middle of July.

    Edit: Also, Pujols' 600th dinger was a grand slam.

    Edit 2: Oh, shit, there were seven grand slams yesterday, that's a new record.

    Plus Edinson Volquez pitched a no-hitter for Miami. A very busy day indeed.

    Yesterday, Scooter Gennet went 5/5 with 4 HR's and 10RBI.

    It's always the little known guy that has this type of game, isn't it?

    This is one of the reasons I love the MLB app so much. I got a push notifications that he had 3 HR and I jumped on the app and he was up to bat and he hit a Home Run. Otherwise I would have missed it.

    Mike Schmidt said that Odubel Herrera can't be a guy that the Phillies can build around. This is theoretically, possibly okay, but...

    Oh, and he kept going:

    Language barrier and on-field antics. I mean, it's a good thing Ichiro can speak fluent English, or else he would have fucking sucked in MLB -- oh, wait, right, he doesn't. Keep talking, Schmidt.

    Edit: Uh, does Jerry Remy realize that baseball is played in a ton of countries that don't speak English?

    Addison Russell is being investigated for domestic abuse.

    God damn it.

    Apparently a "close friend" of Russell's wife is the one who accused him and the CPD doesn't have an investigation ongoing (per the ESPN story).

    There's a divorce in the works, so hopefully just BS on the part of the wife & her friend.

    Hopefully, but it still should be investigated and it doesn't look while it's happening.

    Oh no, absolutely it has to be investigated. No doubt about that.

    It just sounds kinda fishy.

    What the hell just happened with that "double play" in the Mets/Braves game? :confused:

    Edit: ... And in today's first game, the Braves walk the bases loaded to get to Yoenis Cespedes, who then hits a grand slam. :guffaw:

    What the hell were they thinking, anyway?

    The Cubs' see-saw season continues. 4th straight loss after 4 straight wins and 2.5 behind the fu©king Brewers.

    I have no doubt the Brewers will fade eventually, but still a little worried about the Cubs.

    The NL central has become a garbage can, the Reds have a rotation made up of AAA chaff and are 3 games out.

    I think last year's championship run broke Maddon. Just yesterday he was back to his dumbass "Oh, Schwarber can hit leadoff, no problem" bullshit.

    Schwarber batting leadoff is far from the team's only problem. Hardly anyone is hitting, the bullpen disintegrated again yesterday, the starters have been iffy at best.

    And all at the same time. They only scored one run yesterday, so the late bullpen meltdown didn't figure into the 9-1 loss since Butler gave up 3 long before Peña and Strop got in there.

    Yankees really pounding the shit out of the O's this weekend...

    Oh and Aaron Judge's first homer of the game was 495 FEET. It CLEARED THE BLEACHERS.

    I feel like Arrieta is losing $5 million from his free-agent contract with every start.

    As an O's fan, that's been some ugly, gruesome punishment. But, God damn, some of those young Yankees are going to be good for a long, long time.

    I don't think I realized just how short Torreyes was until I saw Didi have to hoist him onto his shoulders just to give Judge a high-five.
