Birkdale is having a really s***** night, that's wasn't even close to a foul tip

Wow, third post in a row from me that starts with wow!

Wow, Barney saved the day there. Great play

Wow, 8 years 68 million for Draisaitl.

You missed my point. But yes, that's probably true. Impact talent is only ever coming here via trade or draft, until this team starts to sustain a winner

Breakout season? f***. .. Tepera is doomed now

I can't believe Leone hit 98mph

I mean like a legit robot that stands behind home plate and calls balls and strikes based on some infrared strike zone that only he can see. He could be programmed to argue with the managers and throw them out if a certain threshold of anger is detected. Thye could be set to look and act like Leslie Neilson from Naked Gun The only downside would be the inevitable complaints that the bots are programmed to favour the Yankees and Red Sox

I mean real robo Umps, not the s*** they use on TV

Speaks volumes when both sides hate the strike zone. Robo Umps!

Having baby soft sensitive skin is not a step down.

It also doesn't mean racetrack. It means run, running, .... race. Theres no track. Or career...depending on its usage.

Had that been the first comment/joke, it would have played better. Now it's just... meh

Vladdy 3/4 with a triple and 4 RBI tonight

I say trade him to Colorado so we can see a 600 foot HR one day

Ian Kinsler on umpire Angel Hernandez: Speaking to reporters, Kinsler said that Hernandez, who has been a major league umpire since 1993, "needs to re-evaluate his career choice" because he's "messing with baseball games." "I'm surprised at how bad an umpire he is," Kinsler said, according to the Detroit News. "I don't know how, for as many years he's been in the league, that he can be that bad. He needs to re-evaluate his career choice, he really does. Bottom line. "If I get fined for saying the truth, then so be it. He's messing with baseball games, blatantly." Kinsler was tossed while batting in the fifth inning of Monday's 6-2 loss to the Texas Rangers. According to the Detroit News, Kinsler questioned a strike that was called on the first pitch of his at-bat, telling Hernandez it was a strike only because he called it a strike. After the second pitch was called a ball, Kinsler turned to Hernandez and said, "What about that one?" Hernandez ejected Kinsler. Tigers manager Brad Ausmus, who ran onto the field in Kinsler's defense, was also tossed. "This has to do with changing the game," said Kinsler, who claims he has had problems with Hernandez since his rookie season in 2006. "He's changing the game. He needs to find another job. He really does." Asked if he and Hernandez had a personal issue, Kinsler said, "I'm not mad at him. He just needs to go away." Kinsler told reporters that he believes Hernandez missed eight obvious calls against both teams in Monday's game. "Not just borderline calls here and there," Kinsler said. "There's arguments on those every game. There are pitches every game where if you call it a strike, the hitter's going to be mad; and if you call that same pitch a ball, the pitcher's going to be mad. Umpires have to deal with that every game. "But when it becomes blatant like this, there is a problem. ... What is he doing on the field? What is he doing out there? It's pretty obvious he needs to stop ruining baseball games."

Can't believe Cleveland can't get anything off Fatolo Colon

Estrada sinking a lot of ships

Bearing in mind Morales can barely score from 2nd on a triple.

Wood Hammel Castillo Encarnacion Ramirez Seager Sano Dickerson Upton Trumbo

Well, his eyesight is certainly retarded

Because his pitch recognition is comparable to Stevie Wonder?

All but impossible really. Realistically they'd have to eat 50% of it to make anyone even look at him. 10 million for a projected 1.5 WAR SS throughthe rest of his decline years is still pretty fugly when they could just get someone else to do it for less. If Shatkins manages to pull off a Tulo trade without eating 50% of the remainder or by adding decent prospects it would be pretty shocking.

Doh!

Yup. Pretty much by June
