I fucking love it. Not sure why the Padres are wearing a grey jersey for the all-star game, in their home park, but the various jersey are otherwise sweet and will be receiving my money. Love most of the hats.

It's because the AL is technically the "home" team for the ASG this year. Manfred basically decided to stop having the AL and NL switch off on being the home team because there are loads of NL parks that haven't had it yet. Cincy last year, San Diego this year, Miami next year, Washington in 2018.
So now regardless of venue it's just AL as the home team on even years, NL on odd years. The home team bats in the bottom half of innings and wears their home whites. Pretty dumb IMO. |

The Cubs are doing everything right this year anyway, so why not get a Superwin while they're at it? Jason Hammel drove in 1 while tossing 6 shutout innings in a blowout win over Cincinnati.

Orioles hit 4 homers in a 9 run 7th inning to go up 10-5. Trumbo had 2 of them.
19 homers is most in AL and on pace for 308 |

Very happy with the Jays starting pitching staff up until this early point in the season. If they stay consistent I think the rest of the pieces will fall in place. Sanchez looks like he could conceivably make a big impact as a big league starter.

Yanks avoid the sweep against Seattle.
Ugh. And they're usually a sweep-able team. |

Also, the Jays approach at the plate even dating back towards the end of last year drives me nuts. Yeah, dingers are great, but FUCK always looking for the kill shot. When a ground ball to second base scores a god damned run, why in the fuck are you taking home run cuts

Yeah, the Mets had the same issue in the first two weeks of the season. Lots of trouble with situational hitting.

Fuckin' love Michael Conforto though and am glad that Terry has put him into the #3 spot.
Pretty remarkable really. This time last year he was in Single-A. Now he's the #3 hitter for the defending National League champions. Ridiculous. |

I liked the Storen trade, but the Jays do need a lead off hitter. Not sure Saunders is going to be it.

Had a rough go of it today but got the outs when he needed them. Feel like if they could give him a proper role as opposed to Gibbons putting him in whatever fucking inning he feels like, Storen would be able to find some consistency. This is the reason he struggled with the Nats. Let the guy do his thing because he's clearly a solid reliever.
Nice to see the Jays steal one from the socks and spoil the series. Also I'm still not watching until June |

I agree but I'd take it even further. Tell your bullpen guys what part of the lineup they got. If you think Storen is your best gun outta the pen, tell that fucker the 3-4-5 spots in the opposing lineup. Next best guy is getting the top of the order. Third best gets 6 on, etc. It'd be of better use than giving you "TEH NINTH" regardless of context.

Osuna only didn't close because of a blister under his finger nail exploding (coincidentally on the pitch he gave up a homerun on). Makes sense I guess. Was good to see Cecil's form seemingly taking shape. He had bite on his pitches.
Storen just had to deal with kind of unfortunate circumstances of having to come in during a situation he has not had to come in for quite some time. But not like Gibbons had a choice. |

Nice win for the JAYCE tonight. Only caught Osuna pitching because of work, but nice to see another good start from Stroman and another 1 run victory in a lower scoring game for the JAYCE.
