MLB regular season thread - Part 6

[Virtanen18]

The Royals rotation is pretty crap outside of Duffy, who was a reliever to start the season. Trotting Chris Young out there every five days of course your bullpen is gonna be worked.

Two home runs for soon to be all-star starter Addison Russell

 

[Voight]

Even with him missing a month, Kershaw should still win the ole Cy.

 

[Voight]

He actually apparently went on Tinder (a dating app) to find tickets. Was offering $1000 dollars for someone to bring him to the game. He says that the person who brought him was going to bring his girlfriend who had no interest in baseball

Tinder didn't work, so he put out a YouTube video crying for help. Then a "friend of a friend" who was in the army got tix (his whole unit got them w/o being in the lottery) and asked if he wanted to go.

People are gonna call him a d-bag, but the guy has made a living off catching baseballs, extorting people for them, and just being a arse.

What is going on with Red Sox pitchers in the 1st. . Please don't be a grand slam.

 

[Muston Atthews]

Chris young goes 2 and a third after getting crushed for 4 homeruns and 6 runs

 

[TootooTrain]

So this is what Colorado Tulo is. Me likey.

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

Tulo is right near a .800 OPS now. Crazy considering how bad he was to start the first 2 months.

Jays lineup if they can get back Bautista healthy will be fierce.



That's crazy.

As I was saying.

 

[Reality Check]

Kansas City was trotting out Young last year as well.

The Royals are just reverting back to the Royals we're accustomed to.

No that's not a porn name.

Mid season award prediction

NL MVP- Bryant, Kris
Best player in baseball on best team. Has done nothing but produce in the spotlight and now a two time AS in two years in the bigs.

NL CY- Arrieta, Jake
Kershaw losing time during a historic run will allow Jake to take the mantle back as the best in game. Arrietas much, much better run behind him, its now the time of season when Jake brings it.

AL MVP- Altuve, Jose
Has been a beast and seems to be getting better.

AL CY- Sale, Chris
Second best pitcher in baseball after Arrieta.

Biggest dissapointments
pirates- broken by the Cubs and have given up.

Blue Jays- Stroman is their top rotation pitcher. Buff said.

Biggest suprises

Orioles
Big Pappi
Odors destruction of Bautista
Shelby Miller

Well more to the point they don't have Johnny Cueto to stabilize the rotation this year.

I'm surprised Bryant didn't snag the AL MVP as well.

Nice win by Houston. Reed got his 2nd career home run tonight as well.

and they fixed the AC!

 

[Sacha Baron Corbin]

Defintely can make an arguement for Kershaw winning MVP this year, 11-2, 1.79 ERA, 145 strikeouts compared to only 9! walks. We'll have to see how he returns from the injury but hes pretty deserving of both NL awards right now IMO.

Not to mention the Dodgers are probably nothing without him

 

[AdmiralsFan24]

Wish every usher would be given a picture of this guy and force the ******* to stay in the seat he paid for the whole game instead of wandering up and down rows.

It's hilarious because the guy threw a fit when someone else caught the Didi walk off, but he's been known to push people and kids out of the way to do his ball hawking nonsense

 

[redfzn]

Jose tickling Wilmer. smh.

Brayan Pena is the worst defensive catcher in baseball. I accept no argument.

Wish he would just go join the Army Reserve now.

Too bad the Cards didn't play at Fort Bragg, he could have defected there.

Even with him missing a month, Kershaw should still win the ole Cy.

If you asked me a month ago he should win the damn MVP. Lately though the Dodgers have been winning like crazy, even in non Kershaw starts. They have mostly played bad teams the last month up til this series vs Baltimore but by far the Dodgers I think have surprised me this year almost as much as any team. I thought they'd be lucky to reach 86 or 87 wins before the season started
