Around Baseball 2018

[Orgfiller]

Big time grand salami for Josh Reddick against the O's. Just like that it's a 10-5 Houston lead.

[Boxcar]

Lol Orioles. What a terrible sequence of pitches.

[jaysfan2014]

F*** the O's. Hopefully they keep losing so that Machado gets traded out of that dumpster fire of an organization that should've traded him this past offseason when the organization is a mess and needs a LOT of help.. but Duquette doesn't seem to agree. Even though it's early, I can't see Duquette and/or Showalter making it to the All-Star Break..

 

This is just going to make the coming rebuild even more painful for O's fans..

 

FYI, Chris Davis--0-5, 4Ks. Not leadoff material..

[Omar]

Ohtani with the 3 run tater.

 

....and the silent treatment. Good stuff.

 

[Orgfiller]

Anyone recognize the guy in the middle?

Talking about low attendances, 1st pitch at Petco Park:

 

 

Who wants to watch terrible baseball this early for a team that is likely to lose 100+ in the Padres? Already 0-4 and not showing improvement.. and desperately needing somebody who can pitch.

I'd rather they stay close enough to .500 (beating up on the Yankees and Sox while getting swept by us) until after the trade deadline. Get only a pick for Machado.

Dominic Leone gives up a game tying bomb to Yelich and a walk off home run to Braun on the next pitch.

 

Ouch.

Buck has clearly had enough and is deliberately trying to get fired. He had Davis in the lead off spot and he went 0 for 5 with 4 strikeouts!

Love that they're stuck paying him 21 million for the next 5 years. What an awful contract lol

[jays4life19]

So how many times did you try and get him from Gibbers this off season?

 

I think for me it was like 3.

I'm pretty sure it was just once, but I thought about it a bunch. Apparently, just thinking about it doesn't put him on the Mets though.

Hes going to be a hot commodity at the Trade Deadline. If the Phillies are remotely competitive they will probably try anything to get him back.

[Bobthe4th]

Villanueva has hit 3 homers for the Padres today.

Dominic Leone gives up a game tying bomb to Yelich and a walk off home run to Braun on the next pitch.

 

Ouch.

 

This does not please me.

[Bobthe4th]

Haha that was awesome! First home at bat too! I'm gonna love following his performance this year.

 

3 for 4 today with the home run:

 

[onwego]

My taped and watched game of the day was STL at Brewers, first game in MLB history starting and ending with back to back home runs. Braun with the walk off.

Total silent treatment, I always find that amusing

He wasn't aware of that tradition at first, lol.

 

By Maria Guardado MLB.com @mi_guardado

 

ANAHEIM -- All around him, the fans roared. But in the dugout, he found silence.

 

Tradition cedes to no one, not even a 23-year-old rookie sensation. And so, Shohei Ohtani was received with indifference from his Angels teammates after crushing his first career home run in his first at-bat at Angel Stadium during a 13-2 win over the Indians on Tuesday night.

 

"I didn't really know about this whole tradition, but I kind of figured it out once I came back to the dugout," Ohtani said through an interpreter. "Everyone was giving me the silent treatment."

 

Ignored by his teammates, Ohtani congratulated himself by high-fiving a line of invisible people. After he went over to hug Ian Kinsler, the ruse finally broke. Ohtani was soon engulfed in a collective embrace from the Angels, who advised the prodigious slugger to take a curtain call. He obliged, climbing the dugout steps and raising his helmet to 35,007 frenzied fans.
