deGrom is doing unspeakable things to the Diamondbacks.

 

Dude randomly painted a curveball - his first time throwing a curveball this year. He must be getting bored and wants to try new things.

[thatoneguy]

Started the game with 10 straight 100+ mph fastballs.

[Ray]

Rays are on some kind of a tear

 

Holy f***

 

It is annoying how good they are. The worst part is how seemingly sustainable it is too. They are the best team in the AL whilst also having a top tier farm system.

 

They’ll probably end up trading Austin Meadows this offseason for a haul and just not skip a beat.

deGrom is unbelievably good, in his 8 starts he's given up 1 or fewer runs in 7 of them. It's crazy how the best pitcher of the era just keeps on getting better.

Diamondbacks in May:

 

5-24

Cohen will make him one of the highest paid pitchers ever, right?

There needs to be more f***in afternoon games now that everyone is working from home anyway. I mean I need something to do while I'm supposed to be working.

Jeter Downs is apparently Colombian?

 

I never would have guessed based on the name.

Strasburg is sitting 89 with his fastball, already had the trainer visit in the first inning, and visibly grimacing after every pitch, and the Nats are just keen to let him pitch through it.

[Spanky__99]

Stroman causing s***, benches empty...

That contract is a disaster.

[Stangstag]

That contract is a disaster.

 

You mean it wasn’t a good idea to sign an extremely injury-prone pitcher on the wrong side of 30 to a massive contract after a career year coming off winning WS MVP?

They were still high from the WS win. I'm glad he could get a ring with the Nats, but that was a terrible decision to re-sign him.

[wilko]

f*** those guys

I miss Tepera too!

Anyone else watching the umpires + Rays vs. Yankees game?

Kiermaier? lol

The Astros lineup is f***ing scary.

 

Their top 7 hitters all have a wRC+ > 126 and if you exclude Alvarez, the highest K% is only 15.7%

 

If the Jays can't, I kind of hope the Astros put a hurting on teams in the playoffs. End the narrative. Can you imagine being an adult and thinking "I'm going to bring an inflatable trash can and a sign with a trash can and an asterisks on it to the park today - that will be really funny and people will like me". f***ing losers.

Crazy

 

Their offense somehow isn't even missing Springer that much

 

Can they sustain this though? Cause the SP sure ain't what is was when they won* the World Series*

Brantley coming off the IL just in time for us too.

[BTS]

Kiermaier? lol

 

Yeah, mostly Kiermaier, but also some bad ball and strike calls favouring them.
