BriGuy82 | 808 Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 Blue Jay's look really good. Yankees either strikeout or hit a home run, what else is new. I wish we had a whole team of DJ LeMahieus. @Ausden did you have a new guy go 8 for 8? That's insane in the membrane. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KokiriChild | 1,673 Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 (edited) Today's game was super frustrating. German was way more lackluster than he was in ST. I feel good about our chances though. Voit should be back soon enough and Bruce is doing much better than I thought he would. Also, our bullpen looks awesome. Garrit Cole is a beast. I think the Blue Jays are team to beat in the AL East though. Strong team this year, especially on offense.

BriGuy82 | 808 Posted April 4, 2021 Author Share Posted April 4, 2021 @Bearcat-Doug Castellanos is such a little bitch with that skip and bat flip he did. I hope he breaks his ankle next time he touches home plate. You should convert to a Cardinals fan. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ozzie Smith was still doing backflips back then. They were playing the Pirates when Barry Bonds was still there. Man, I feel old! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KokiriChild | 1,673 Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 Ohtani is crazy. Glad to see he isn't hurt. When was the last time there was player in the AL who was both one of your best pitchers AND you DH? The kid's insane, throwing 100+ MPH like it's fucking wiffle ball.

Babe Ruth was one of the best pitchers in the AL early in his career. It would have been interesting to see what kind of pitching career he would have had if he wasn't switched to an outfielder exclusively. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ausden | 323 Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 Damn White Sox bullpen issues from 2020 continue into 2021. That walk-off last night was hard to take. Especially after that wild 5th inning. I seriously thought the Sox couldn't lose after that insane turn of events. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah if he stays healthy he might be the most fun player to watch. I hope I'm wrong but I think it's gonna be a tall order for him to make it through a full season. Kinda like Aaron Judge.

LutherDestroysTheGond | 728 Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 Cleveland has struggled so far this year. We've been a slow-starting team ever since Francona took over as manager and by late May-June he usually figures things out and we get hot. Our division was tight in the short season so I want to see how it plays out over a full season, Francona can hopefully get us at least to another wildcard spot. Our offense was pretty bad last year and not looking too great again this year. We're barely striking out but when we do make contact it isnt very productive. The hitters are disciplined but need to work on their swings. At least we have some decent pitchers. Bieber got the opening day loss but had 12 strikeouts in 6 to follow up his Cy Young.

LutherDestroysTheGond | 728 Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 Yeah. With the structure of the MLB it's always just a matter of time before good players in small markets are traded or leave in free agency. We were stacked in 2017 and slowly falling apart since then. People are recently complaining about baseball being a boring sport. I enjoy it, I just hate the lack of parity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
