40 HR and a .913 OPS is a circus act?

Also in this case Deadspin isn’t being contrarian at all, 99% of the human population enjoyed that bat flip/home run/celebration. The other 1% being Rangers fans/players, grumpy 80 year old sports writers and a few burner kinja accounts.

This better?

zzzzzzz

No he isn’t.

A New York team would NEVER do such a thing.

I heard Yankees were -115, either way it was close to a 50/50 game. Keuchel’s numbers on the road I think gave people hope (around a 3.60 ERA) add to the fact that the Astros are an extremely streaky team in regards to hitting.

FWIW The Yankees were favored in the game, so it wasn’t so much a game they were supposed to lose. I was at the game, some of the fans threw trash on the field at the end but for the most part people were fine. The biggest disaster however was the clusterfuck that was getting people actually inside the stadium, it…

This is the exact same thing many of us say when Molitor insists on bunting, down a run.....in the 3rd inning..... of every other game.

Toronto plays at noon tomorrow. What are the odds they get more than 2 hits and have less than 3 errors?

That would be the BNSF Railway Home Run Blast promotion, the ROOT does it for every M’s home run hit.

I think the $500 million the league gets for expansion fees has something to do with it, Bettman is a lot of things and does a lot of dumb things, but expansion absolutely is a good move. Markets like Seattle, Quebec and Las Vegas will do fantastic for the game, Kansas City likely as well.

Didn’t that AEG guy buy the Panthers? I thought it was pretty much a forgone conclusion that he would eventually move the team. I still think at the end of the day Las Vegas, Quebec, Seattle and Kansas City all end up with teams. (Panthers and Coyotes moved)

Dan Gladden is now one of the play by play men for Twins baseball on the radio. Brandon Webb has been reincarnated as Kyle Gibson.

Scary shit, watching the various pit road crews run out to the car you had to fear the worst, can’t believe he walked away from it and no fans were seriously hurt. Testament to NASCAR and their ability to make things safer year by year. A lot of talk with be had in regards to restrictor plate racing now, which is…

Love(boats) conquers all.

Unlikely group? Did you read the article? NASCAR has banned the flag from any official usage for a long time now.

Yeah, he is still top 5 in voting though, and I think he was hurt by his medicore 2014 campaign, Kipnis should be starting the all star game this year though, his numbers are other worldly so far.

You must have missed the dating back to 2014 part of my statement (Because early season voting often goes off a players first few months and their reputation from the year prior) if you didn’t miss that you would realize that during that 1.5 year time period he is first in WAR, HR, R, Slugging, XBH, wOBA, wRC, 2nd in…

I know complaining about the all star game voting/snubs is ultimately pointless, but the fact that Brian Dozier, who leads the league in XBH, and leads most categories for 2B dating back to 2014 isn’t sniffing the top 5 is pretty ludicrous.
