The Orioles are .500, 30-30 only 3 gb of the yankees, feels like last year.

Thru 60 last year they were 31-29 but 5.5 gb

Too bad they have the 2nd worst pitching in the AL, only ahead of the Red Sox which was evidenced in their 13-10 game. They've allowed 276 runs which is 2nd to Boston 289 in the AL

Fucking Castillo. Why try to turn that into a double when there are two outs. Your run meant nothing.

Another cool stat about the Jays offence: if you don't count the entire month of April's run total, they still have more runs scored than Seattle and Philly

Dammit, Phillies

Phillies are in the way of the Orioles buzz saw next week

Going to see D'Backs vs. the Angels on Thursday. Praying to God that the Halos don't rest Trout.

I'm going Wednesday

:fu:

RUSSELL MARTIN!!!!

Woooo 10 in a row for the Jays!

The Os win tonight and it's 6 in a row which matches their longest winning streak last year.

Phillies recall Domonic Brown from AAA. NOOOOOOOOOO

Honestly don't understand this Yankees team. Either stay hot, or stay cold. Not both.

Twins call up the #1 prospect in baseball, Byron Buxton.

Remember when Joe Mauer was gonna be the savior of the Twins?

Orioles have won 6 in a row, longest winning streak since they won 8 in 2005.

Ryan Goins of all people with a 3 run homer and the Jays are up 6-0 in the 4th. Here comes 11 wins in a row!

13-5 in the 7th now. This offence is fun.

franchise record 11 straight wins for the Jays.... they need pitching, but I don't want them to fuck with this offense at all.....maybe try and finagle Lawrie & Clippard from Oakland for a shit ton of prospects....

Hooray! Yankees avoid the sweep.

Clippard would be nice and wouldn't cost an arm and a leg. The bullpen has been better lately.

Really weird road trip schedule for the Dbacks the past week or so. Played 3 in LA vs the Dodgers, had an off day, played 3 in San Fran, now are headed BACK to LA/Anaheim for 2 at Angel Stadium, then come home to play 2 against the Angels at Chase Field.

Stupid rain delay yesterday. Got to watch 5 innings of baseball and see a 450+ foot bomb from Miggy but had to hit the road so bailed after about an hour of the delay. Hot win though

All that money they spent on free agency. The trades and moves they made. And you mean to tell me that the Padres couldn't wait a year to see how it pans out?

Welp, A.J. Preller better pray this team turns it around. Cause I don't think he comes out this alive in the end if San Diego already axed Bud Black.

<font color=goldenrod>Your weekly Royals All Star Game update. Omar Infante and his .204/0/17 stat line has now replaced Altuve as starting 2B, giving the Royals 8 projected starters.

At this point the best thing that could come from this would be Bochy starting Bumgarner for the AL for the LOLz.

Do they have like voting booths at the seats of the royals games so they can just press a button and vote during every pitch?

The Kansas City Royals Vs. the National League.

They'll lose again

Was watching Reds and Cubs last night and Chapman beamed the first base umpire from the bullpen. All that renovation at Wriggly they need to build a proper bullpen.

Preller was the one who axed Black. And while I certainly don't blame him for the current record,he's part of the problem and the move is a long-term in Preller building his team.

Black was an awfulin game strategist who bunted far too often and had questionable lineup usage. I doubt a new voice makes a difference,as I don't buy into that bs, but clearly Preller and the ownership want their own guy.

Totally screwed myself by dropping Mark Teixeira after my draft. Guy's having an unbelievable year.

I picked him up early after he went undrafted and I got saddled with Garrett Jones.... Gotta love auto draft....

They'll be under the bleachers next year as part of the renovation.

Also.....lol Alex Rios at #4

Lol Jose Bautista!!!!

<font color=goldenrod>lol holy shit what a game. and I was supposed to go but decided not to because the forecast was calling for a heavy chance of rain. god dammit.</font>

Blue Jays lose
Red Sox lose
theeeeee Yankees lose

Fucking Rays won though

<font color=goldenrod>I'm sure this will end up being something one or two idiots did. But if somehow it turns out the entire front office was in on it...damn, just imagine the potential sanctions.

-Massive fines
-Forfeiture of draft picks
-Loss of draft pool money
-Loss of international free agent pool money
-Forced to bat Pete Kozma leadoff for the next 10 years</font>
