Around Baseball 2018

[Spanky__99]

In his MLB debut, Nick Kingham is perfect through 6 innings with 8 Ks.

 

DeJong broke it up...

[Jonn]

I was so close to adding Kingham in fantasy added Gausman instead. I got what I deserved for adding an Oriole although Gausman wasn’t awful.

I was surprised he was available in a 20 team Dynasty, with 12 spects per team... scoop!

It’s not really possible for Ronald Acuna to look more legit.

[Orgfiller]

The Braves have a ridiculous young tandem in Acuña and Ozzie Albies.

Those two and Freeman is an insane core.

+ Soroka possibly on tap to make his first start this week. A lot for their fans to be excited about all at once, and more on the way.

[P2F]

Ozzie Albies has a chance to tie/break the MLB record for most extra base hits before April 30.

 

Jermaine Dye currently has the record with 23, Albies has 21 with 3 games in Philly coming up before the end of the month

 

Albies with a double in his 1st AB, 2 more to go

 

HR and 2B today means I believe he's now tied the record.

 

Edit: He's at the plate now for his final PA of the month.

He's broken the record now I believe. He's got 24.

Awesome, even better. I love watching this guy play baseball.

Man, ESPN is still thinking how "great" the Angels are--LA's going to be out of it by the All-Star break if they don't start getting length from their starters and more support for Trout..

What do you think of the Angels? Just curious...

It's the same crappy Angels team that is going to implode because of a lack of depth, crappy starting pitching beyond Skaggs and Ohtani(and that's still questionable), taxing a bullpen that is already the most overworked in baseball.. and Trout's supporting cast stinks. Neither Kinsler or Cozart are hitting, Calhoun has been terrible, and Upton is still the same inconsistent player that annoyed Tigers fans..

[AledmysDiaz]

Angels starting pitching is going to look a lot better once we trade them Happ for Chris Rodriguez

[P2F]

Ugh. f*** off, Yankees.

[Sammy225]

 

Is there anything we can do to get this man up here???? He is a beauty?

[Grant77]

I love Joey Votto, he's just the best.

[Ray]

Corey Seager out for the season. Needs Tommy John.

[Spanky__99]

Corey Seager out for the season with Tommy John.

 

Was just going to post this, also Ray to the DL with an oblique injury.

 

[Dr. Dinger]

Been expecting this with Seager for awhile now but it definitely sucks big time.

[jaysfan2014]

Crippling blow to the Dodgers. Better hope Turner gets back ASAP.. and even that might not help this team. It's very difficult to replace Seager's bat in the lineup.

I was thoroughly confused for a second, but I have a feeling you did this intentionally.

Yes, pun intended...

[jaysfan2014]

E-Rod having all kinds of control issues vs. the Royals.. not a good start for the Red Sox, especially with the Yankees breathing down their neck...

Time to trade them Devon Travis for Walker Buehler. GET ER DONE SHAPKINS.

 

 

 

Yes, this is 100% sarcasm.

[5ToolPhenom]

Charlie Mortons been nuts this year. Pitching another brilliant game against the Bronx Bombers tonight. 10 K's and only 1 hit allowed so far through 6 1/3.

 

I'm watching it on my computer with the Jays game on the TV lol. Houston keeps on squandering opportunities though. Up 2-0 but keep stranding guys. Had guys on 2nd and 3rd with no outs earlier and didn't score a run.

[P2F]

Holy s***, Josh Hader just K'd 8 in 2.2 IP. He's the first pitcher ever to strike out 8 in an outing of less than 3 IP.

[Ray]

Josh Hader is nasty: https://mediadownloads.mlb.com/mlbam/mp4/2018/05/01/1993236483/1525143539068/asset_2500K.mp4
