The Royals are done in that division, its gonna be either the Sox or Tigers. amazing they were as good as they were for so long with awful starting pitching.

It's not. Great defense has great effects. Especially in a cavernous park.

 

[YNWA14]

What's the level beyond dumpster fires? Bonfires? Forest fires? The Reds bullpen is whatever is worse than a dumpster fire.

If not for our bullpen...jesus.

They are 13-12 so far, how they are done just after 25 games? Their rotation is not great but Volquez and Kennedy looks good early in the season. They will be ok.

Yea, that was silly, too.

Royals are far from done. Come on now.

 

[Quid Pro Clowe]

Royals might as well forfeit the rest of the season. Stick a fork in 'em.

CUBS CONTINUE THEIR AMAZING START

With their 7-2 win over the Pirates on Monday, the Cubs improved to 18-6 this year, their best start after 24 games since the World Series-winning team of 1907. Chicago's plus-83 run differential is tied for 4th-highest through 24 games in the modern era (since 1900), per Elias Sport Bureau.

1902 Pirates - 92
1905 Giants - 90
2003 Yankees - 85
2016 Cubs - 83
1939 Yankees - 83

Arrieta proves yet again he is the best pitcher in baseball at the moment winning NL pitcher of the month for a third consecutive month. Never been done before in the NL. Greatest run in the history of baseball and a pleasure to watch.

Suzuki didn't do Berrios any favors there with the framing of the catch.

It's JR Murphy.

 

[garnetpalmetto]

It's JR Murphy.

Doh, my bad since Suzuki also uses a Under Armour protector - I assumed this was *after* Murphy got tossed, not thinking it's what caused him to be tossed in the first place. Still, bad call but I think he could have helped by framing the pitch better.

 

[MurrayBannerman]

I don't think he did a bad job of framing it. His glove had very little movement.

 

[Voight]

Washington Nationals star Bryce Harper has signed a 10-year extension with Under Armour that is believed to be the largest endorsement deal in history for a baseball player, a source with knowledge of the deal told ESPN.

Can;t even begin to imagine how much $$$ its worth.... however its probably pennies to his next deal.

Altuve also got a ball 4 instead of a strike 3 on Sunday from a Rich Hill curveball right down the middle.
