Justin Verlander is a delight.

Braves really surprising this year.

Cobra Mgr · 05-17-2018, 01:52 PM

Thoughts?

Cobra Mgr · 05-18-2018, 10:29 AM

I think the Braves have a legit beef w/the umps.

Cobra Mgr · 05-20-2018, 08:22 PM

105mph

Cobra Mgr · 05-25-2018, 10:07 AM

Scientists know balls do fly further, but don't know why.

Cobra Mgr · 05-25-2018, 06:26 PM

Jeter's rookie card sells for 100g's. He then proceeded to trade away all the other valuable cards in the buyer's collection.

Cobra Mgr · 05-29-2018, 08:23 AM

Cubs @ Pirates could get nasty today.

Cobra Mgr · 06-05-2018, 10:17 AM

I'm sorry. But if Mike Fiers can't understand Stanton's reaction, then he is the one who is "childish".

Westheim · 06-05-2018, 03:49 PM

Okay, step by step.

First, I am quite sure that Fiers never intended to hit Stanton; not then, and not now.

Second, I am also quite sure that Stanton is not comfortable in the box to begin with when facing Fiers. He got his face shattered by him after all.

Third, don't poke your bat at people. Not your bat, not your knife, and not your toilet brush.

Fourth, that is some homer.

Five, stop the pointing, dammit.

Sixth, now everybody has his feelings hurt. Great.

Well, I don't know. I suggest sitting them in a sandbox, each with a little red shovel and bucket, so they can play it out in there.

Stop pointing the shovel. Both of you!

For all the talk about the early postponements in the season, that seems to have settled down. Through 911 regularly scheduled games of the season so far, there have been 36 postponements. In March/April, there were 28; in May, 7; so far in June, 1

MBarrett · 06-06-2018, 11:05 AM

Makes sense, wasn't it one of the earlier start dates they've ever had too?

I think they could avoid it in the future by simply starting when they used to and play in warm climates/roofs for the first week.

This year simply had an unusually wet spring in many locales. That's all there really was to it.

I wonder how many wedding proposals she got afterward........

Cobra Mgr · 06-10-2018, 10:18 PM

Sooooooo............U can't argue against a balk......but you can argue FOR a balk?........

Cobra Mgr · 06-18-2018, 01:02 AM

Just a little nervous.

Cobra Mgr · 07-04-2018, 11:32 PM

Glad the Nats got rid of Dusty Baker so that they can now play to their potential.

Cobra Mgr · 07-08-2018, 01:35 AM

10 RBI game

Cobra Mgr · 07-11-2018, 11:46 PM

Did 'zona put a Jr High softball pitcher on the mound tonight? Colorado has already put up 18 after 4 innings. They are on pace for 40 runs off of 36 hits.

Cobra Mgr · 07-17-2018, 11:31 PM

So if Machado is all but done w/the O's & headed to LA, wouldn't playing him in the All-Star game be like having a double agent in your lineup?
