Yeah, that was...odd...

"That guy just tried to catch the ball...flip him off!"

edit: nevermind...just saw the weak ass shove from Adams...I'd have flipped him off too...

much will be made of this erroneously... like many things overblown in this rivalry

classy

Billy Hamilton is impressed that Jay was able to lay off that pitch...

How has Hamilton looked? I actually picked him as ROY on some blog or another, but Boatmaker made him look flat out foolish in the lid-lifter. So, he can't hit off-speed stuff or bendy stuff... granted, not everyone is Adam Wainwright.

He's looked like a guy who's only job in the majors up to this point was be really really fast.

I mis-typed... must have some kind of weird residue on the brain from that Noah movie. He is a maker of Wagons! the galleon of the Prairie!

That was a weak ass shove. These soft baseball players could learn a thing or two from the other sports on how to deal with belligerent fans.

Phil Neshek...terrible...

...and Pat Neshek sucks too.

They are doing there best to make this game entertaining.

Oh man, this Reds reliever... I can't rermember which broadcast I was viewing, but they went into the Making his MLB debut..... narrative, I looked up at the Jumbotron and saw that it was a ginger. I knew the game would be over soon. Next think you know,
Molliday clubs a missile that went way out of the park.

Both were d-bag moves.

I don't know, if you're gonna flip off an athlete, that's the way to do it. 100% confidence and zero hesitation.

It aint the six minutes. Its what happens in those six minutes.

Trout already has a home run and an outfield assist. The guy is so damn good it's scary.

Tanaka has been better the last couple innings but his stuff hasn't been all that impressive.

Charlie Blackmon had a decent 6 hit day

i was listening to the red sox vs O's last night on a long car ride back from deep beyond the cheese frontier. that O's lineup is loaded especially when Machado gets back.

Ryan Braun 0-5 today. .063 for the year. Probably the couriers fault though.

Good. Fuck him. I'll be rooting against that smug prick.

Fastest starting pitcher to 500 K's: Yu Darvish. Stud.

batters take pride in striking out nowadays, so not really useful for anything.

Fucking Nelson Cruz batting 7th and missing maybe their best hitter

That 1996 Orioles team is one of my favorites. Loved watching those guys. Mussina was my favorite player as a kid.

It was his 93rd pitch of the night, a four-seam fastball to the Rays’ Wil Myers, coming after a quartet of curveballs put the count at 2-2 with two outs in the top of the sixth inning. Yordano Ventura, the Royals’ 22-year-old rookie making his first start of the season and just the fourth of his major league career, had allowed just two hits over 5 2/3 scoreless innings, striking out five, including Myers twice, and walking none. Having failed to get Myers to offer at his curveball, Ventura decided he’d try to blow him away, likely hoping the next pitch would be his last of the night, or, at the very least, of the inning. His catcher, Salavador Perez, put the target right in the middle of the strike zone, and Ventura’s pitch headed straight for it … at 102.9 miles per hour.

That pitch, which Myers miraculously fouled back (only to strike out looking two pitches later), was, according to some accounts, the fastest pitch thrown by a starting pitcher in the history of Major League Baseball’s Pitch f/x data, which was first used in the 2006 playoffs and was in place in every ballpark by 2008. I say by some accounts, because the game-by-game Pitch f/x data at BrooksBaseball.net lists the fastest pitch Ventura threw in his major league debut against the Indians on Sept. 17 of last year (a pitch that catcher Yan Gomes singled on for the first Cleveland hit of that game) as having been 102.95 miles per hour, compared to 102.85 for the pitch to Myers. What is undisputed, however, is that those two Ventura pitches are the two fastest by a starting pitcher ever recorded by Pitch f/x.


That's nuts.

Oh my god the throw Simmons made from his ass was unbelievable. Strongest arm in the game.
