Good job from the Cubs tonight. Morel with the grand salami was more than the Padres could handle tonight.

What I like about todays MLB is there is a lot of new stars getting a chance to show what they can do Only time will tell but a lot of not so good teams over the past 10 to 12 year have some exciting 20 some olds that can make a difference on the field the base paths and in the batters box Right now the Pirates Reds and Orioles are all off to a good start In the old In the past 20 or so years the game became aging former good players that had used performance enhancing drugs so hey could get paid millions of dollars The athletic ability had long since been lost by the time the player reached the age of big dollar contracts .With the new rule changes good defense and stealing bases is a very valuable way of getting and keeping playing time And speed in the base paths is much more exciting than watching and old ball player strike out Many of the younger guys are glad to be on the field and want to win AND THEY STILL THINK MAKING $750000.00 to $1.5 million to play baseball a really good way to make a living With the young really talented guys getting a start in a more
fast pace game I think MLB could be at the beginning of a large growth in the sport With lots of impressive young players all coming on the scene at this time baseball could quickly become the sport to get interested in If I could pick a group of rookie and 2nd year players to play against a team of players that have been playing al all star type baseball for a long period of time I would dfeel petty confident that my all stars would be able to hang with the best of the best t am a Yankee fan but there aere sme soon to be great young players all over both leagues Ad that will be good for the future of baseball

He blew it again tonight. Leaving the pitcher in until there is no way to come back. I don't care where, but I wish he'd go anywhere else.

Told you he sucked and was extremely happy he left. Can't stand how he coaches and his analytics. Good riddance, Brewers scoring more runs now then half of last year.

The Phillies knocked off the Cardinals, that should make the Cub fans happy.

Too my surprise the cards are hanging around 500, and hanging with some teams. I had no hope for them this year, all the moves they made were old arms to the rotation.. gray had a good year last year but what about every year before I wasn't impressed with that add on, maybe if we added a true number 1 pitcher and he be number 2. But hey they are hanging.. and the young guys will only get better with more reps. I still dont have high hopes.

What aggravates me with baseball it's becoming home run or bust. The cardinals never stole a base last year, I think edmans lead the team with maybe 20. When acuna Jr. Had over 50 when we had 14. Small ball wins games. Not as fancy but you win.. last year example. Walker started the season with him being a rookie 12 hit game streak. He started to struggle,as a rookie would. they sent him back down.. not to help him see the ball, throw different pitches to him that he was struggling with, but to work on launch angle so he can hit more hume runs.. he just came off the greatest streak as a rookie had seen..

Matt carpenter one year led the league with most doubles, sprayed the ball all over, also showed some pop had like 30 homers.. next year lowest batting avg, most strike outs and pulled the ball every dang time.. because all we worked on was homers.. Nolan Gorman is the same way, everytime he gets up I say there a strike out.... last year early he seen the ball and was hammering it to every part of the field, wasn't enough Homer's you need to be dead pull hitter and strike out 70 percent of the time.

Wins don't sell tickets any more home runs do.. me personally I rather watch a game of singles, steals and bunts over 3 home runs and 30 others striking out.
It's sad that they had to take the shift out of the game, these guys make millions of dollars you think they could hit it some where else other then a team knows to stand because you only hit it one direction. Rod crew, Tony Gwen pete rose, would have a hay day with the shift... back in the day no one would have thought about a shift the whole game. The shift was ruining baseball, no the over paid players who don't know how to play the game lime it should be are. Heck 1 team goes in high and tight, both teams get warnings. Makes the other team scared to pitch inside because you get the boot you have to use a bull pen. Bob Gibson would drill the ump between the eyes if he was waned from the other team pitching inside lol.


Lol sorry rant over! Just miss the good old days, most of you are older then me so you experienced even better ball.

Yes I am a baseball fan I remember when Warren Spahn Gaylord Perry Phil and Joe Neiko Whitey Ford &Bob Gibson owned the pitcher's mound And if you did not agree get ready to be reminded of why that was and how that fact would be drilled into your ribcage That way you would still understand how it felt for the next few days And the great hitters would show their thoughts about who owned who by putting a pitch over the outfield wall I think I think I see some of the old school ways of baseball coming back to the fore front of the sport Players giving their best effort so their team wins And a tp of the cap when the opposing team makes great play The Orioles have 3 or 4 young super stars with Adley Rutshman Gunner Henderson and Jackson Holliday (JUST SAY THEIR NAMES TOGETHER SLOWY BECAUSE YOU WILL HEAR THEM A LOT FOR THE NEXT DECADE OR MAYBE 2) along with a dugout full of other young players just a notch below the stars wanting to get their chance to show what they can do Likewise the Pirates have a really good player at 3rd base next to a astounding star to be in O Neil Cruz a 6 '11' short stop with a rocket for an arm And he is built to launch balls into the stands And even with the new rules designed to protect the fielders on tag plays imagine a 6'11' 300 lb pound player sliding into home plate with the winning run in the balance of the outcome of the game depending on is he safe or out ? And at first they have
RowdyTellez about a little below average player that goes all out all the time The kind of guy that is at his best when the situation needs the best effort possible They could surprise many by taking a wide open division Also the Reds played well the second half of last year before falling back at the end of the season last summer Ellly de la Cruz and Spence Steer burst on to the scene last summer with eye popping athletic ability And so far this year have shown it is for real Along with some other good young talent and some hopefully reliable pitching will have a team to be reckoned with ever time they take the field it will be a lt of exciting games, plays and great young players for the fans to want to root for their team

If you could put the word out they need to sweep the Pirates too, to knock them off their thin glass pedestal I'd appreciate it too.


w side rd 151 - hope you feel better getting that off your chest. lol

Go Reds.

Astros give up 9 in the first to the... ROYALS. lol

Adc bobby Witt is the real deal...

Bobby Witt Jr. was my favorite before he even became "famous". What a game with 4 hits, 5 RBI, and 2 HR.

Jackson holiday got the call up.. was a spectacular outting but did get an rbi, that's another that's going be the real deal. His daddy was too much of a player not to pass the genes along.

A fine start. Thanks for the help NL.

Brewers in first by percentage points! Nice to see them do a lot of running, Yelich getting off to a great start. Rain out today, now it is off to the Orioles. Not used to seeing the Astros at the bottom of their division. Yankees look strong if they can stay healthy.
Bryce

Orioles are doing pretty well thus far. They have won every series they have had. Hopefully they give the Brewers some trouble.

Be midnight by the time the Cubs get their game over tonight.

Keep it up Phillies! Schwarber needs to get hot for you fans.

A lot are predicting orioles going to the world series

ADC, Harper needs to get hot too. 3 batters in the lineup hitting below .200, 2 more hitting below .225, yet they are one game over .500. If those batters start coming through the Braves better be on their toes.

I hope they get better quick. Cubs stunk it up last night again, sad.

Touch and go for cards last night, big lead, bull pen gave it up, however young bucks came through.
