No, Tampa is my team, just hate all their players. Been following Harper since he put on a show at the Trop, I mainly root for players, I have the MLB app so if the Rays aren't playing I just watch play by play of the box scores and switch to that game when my favorite player is up.
 
I'm actually going to my second game of the year on Tuesday, I usually go to about 4 games a year and It looks like I'll be going to around 15-20 this year.
 
Drew Smyly has been a dynamo for my fantasy team.
 
After how shitty he ended the season, Dodgers fans have to be excited about the way Joc is swinging.
 
Giants are in a serious funk finding ways to lose. Bases loaded 0 outs down by a run in the bottom of the eight. The unheard of pitcher to catcher to first double play that prevents a run from scoring and a taken strike 3.

Still striking out an absolute ton. Really think the home run Derby got to Joc. His ops literally dropped 150 points after the All Star game.

If he can cut his k% down to 27 or 28% he can have a Chris Davis/Adam Dunn like career
 
Rustled big time



Would be nice if the Lil Lez could throw strikes here though, maybe get into the 5th.
 
Is Hanley making all the people who doubted him eat crow so far?

With his defense yes. Hes still not really showing any pop or drawing walks(although as of a couple days ago he was leading the league in pitches seen in the strike zone).

edit: Actually kinda crazy to think how little shit we give him with the amount of money hes being paid. 20 games in and he has 5 XBH, 3 BB's and an OPS of .643 and we are all fine with it. Shows you what the expectations were. I think if Candoval was in there and the Sox were 4-5 games below .500 we would be singing a different tune.

It's cause it's not even 20 games. Most people know not to read into 20 games too much. Shit last April Hanley had 10 homers. How'd that end up turning out?
 
He ran into a wall on May 4th or 5th and was a can the rest of the way. Whats your point? why are you such a sensitive weirdo? Stop telling ppl when they can or cant have an opinion on something.
 
That blown save hurts. Kimbrel throwing hard but his secondary pitches look like trash.
 
Tough to say whos ben a bigger can so far Price or Kimbrel...

and lol at Gonzalez giving the ump the Mutombo finger wave because he didnt like the strike call

sweepo of the tigers, nice
 
It's month into the season, I know, but the Cubs/Nats/Royals look like the best teams in besibol. None really surprising, Nats have disappointed in recent years but too much talent to keep missing yoffs, and the Cubs were favorites to start the year.
