It's stupidly early in the season but out of all of my award predictions I think Harper repeating as MVP already seems like the safest bet of the bunch by far. I hate the Nats and would like them to lose as much as possible but Harper is just flat out ridiculous.

Nolan Arenado is getting love on mlb network because ex players don't understand making outs is counter productive.

As good as Arenado is I never even considered him for MVP because I assumed the Rockies would be shit this year. And to win MVP on a shit team you need to put up ungodly numbers with nobody on a playoff team (or near playoff team) even close to being as good.

lol was watching a big of the LAA/CWS game last night and one of the commentators caught a foul ball. Had At-Bat running on my phone on my bed while playing 3DS and heard them get all excitable, was pretty funny

Forgive Droford. His blind allegiance to the Orioles hinders him from saying negative things about the club.

I have no issue with him personally. I just respond to things he says same as I'd respond to anyone. Droford just happens to say things more often than most that draws my attention and compels me to respond.
Not sure what "except what he was saying was about an entirely different team's pitcher" is supposed to mean. He's clearly talking about the game his team played and downplaying their loss by trying to shortchange the other team's performance. Hence the blind allegiance and inability to say negative things. Sorry if you find it annoying. |

Nothing more dramatic.
In obscure baseball news, Athletics starter Kendall Gravemann becomes the first starting pitcher since Babe Ruth to bat cleanup. |

Can't imagine the feeling as the ball leaves the pitcher's hand. Poor bastard, whoever it was.

Thole (the catcher) derped on it though, wasn't the kid's fault, he actually pitched well in the inning, ran into some hard luck but Baltimore didn't give in.

Maybe Thole is punch drunk on knuckle balls. He's Dickey's caddy, isn't he?

Feel like games like tonight are gonna happen a lot for the Mets. They finally were putting up some offense the last few days but nearly all of it was via the long ball.
Then you get to tonight's game where they struck out 17 times across 11 innings and you've got guys like Cespedes just swinging for the fences in extras instead of trying to drive in the man from 2nd. They need to find other ways to score. At least they took the series though. |

Price today for the Red Sox.
Don't think a single Sox game so far has had the starter go 6 or 7 innings. |

Well, the O's are so good right now, they wouldn't even have room in the rotation for a guy like Arrieta. Probably couldn't handle the AL East.

Its a good thing they won a championship with Scott Feldman and Steve Clevenger, otherwise that trade would look REALLY bad right now.

If it was a Cubs/Orioles World Series and Arrieta tossed a perfect game in the series-clinching game in Baltimore, would Droford spend the night in the fetal position?
