    As a Royals fan, I would rather have Ted Kennedy throwing than Ian Kennedy.
    Say....let's see if a big league batter can hit 92 belt high down the shitter or a hanging deuce meatball with grease dropping off of it.

    Yankees need to shut down Chapman for a bit. Not sure if it's because of his overuse last season or what, but he's struggling badly.

    Interestingly, he threw 78 innings last season, his most since throwing 74 in 2012. After throwing to a 1.51 ERA that season, he dipped a full run in 2013 to 2.54. Now, after throwing 78 in 2016, he's dropped more than two full runs to 3.89 in 2017. They're the two worst seasons in his career as a closer (he had a 3.60 ERA as a 23-year-old middle reliever in 2011).

    Apparently you put Jay Bruce in an Indians uniform and he becomes Mike Trout.

    Dodgers just acquired Granderson from Mets for PTBNL or cash. Gives them some good depth.

    So, I wonder what the record is for walk-off grand slams given up in a season. The Angels coughed up their third within (I think) a month and a half. Machado this time for a 9-7 Orioles win. All the runs were brought in by the longball, 10 in all.

    Bruce is two home runs away from his career high. It's the same old Jay Bruce, just with four-plus months of avoiding massive slumps.

    This has to be the stupidest ground rule in MLB. How that is a home run is laughable

    Devers' solo home run

    He hit it 420 feet and you're upset he got a home run for it?

    Why? It's a ground rule. There is no fundamental premise to be guided by in situations like that.
