Trey is absolutely destroying the ball as of late too.

QUOTE (Hatchetman @ May 31, 2017 -> 06:53 PM) I don't know how to respond to this. I guess I have higher aspirations. We all do but he's a work in progress. If he's still a "mess" come August I'll be much more concerned. He's got a long way to go but he's seemingly making progress.

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ May 31, 2017 -> 06:13 PM) ? I mean I get he only went 4 innings, but he gave up no walks and threw roughly 2/3 of his pitches for strikes. He also didn't give up any homeruns. Unless they were hard hits, I'd actually consider this a promising start all things considered. Ya certainly not great but not the worst start in the world either. Bats are doing work in Charlotte. 3 walks for Yoan too.

QUOTE (bmags @ May 31, 2017 -> 03:10 PM) Would really be something to get stellar performances from all our nats acquisitions in a single night. 3 no hitters from them and a 15 k performance from Kopech. Simple enough.

That's one absurd pitching lineup for the night. Yeesh.

You can make a legit case he's been the best 1b so far in the AL this season.

There's definitely no reason for GSW to lose this series but I'm not counting out LeBron. I'm intrigued.

QUOTE (ptatc @ May 30, 2017 -> 03:31 PM) I'm sure getting him out really would send the message the pitcher wanted to convey to him. Ooooo, I got you to ground to the second baseman, i showed you! I don't agree with what he did as far as the retaliation in this case. however, i don't have a problem with it as long as he doesn't throw a true beanball at his head. If they want to throw at the hitter, it's fine as long as it's below the shoulders. Instead, it's I can't get you out so I'm going to hit you with a fastball. That's good stuff.

Would have loved to see Bryce kick his ass but alas Harper can't throw a punch or a helmet.

You can definitely make a case that Jose has been the best 1b in the AL so he should get some real consideration.

Delmonico is bonkersville right now.

Delmonico homered again too.

I somehow missed Diaz's debut. Nice to see him back.

That 13-0 ratio is just gorgeous.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 28, 2017 -> 07:42 PM) He's repeating AAA and has a near 5 ERA. If he struggles the rest of the way, you have to try something different next season. He pitched 4 games in AAA last year.

QUOTE (Feeky Magee @ May 28, 2017 -> 06:51 PM) Hansen doing work. 3.0 IP, 2H, 0R, 0BB, 8K. 4 strikeouts in the 3rd inning. Came in here to post that. Ridiculous.

Happy to admit I'm wrong on that so far. Your reasoning at the time still wasn't the greatest but you're definitely right so far. No doubt about that.

It'll be super interesting to see how Gio follows this start up now. Hopefully this gives him the confidence to get into a nice streak here.

QUOTE (Y2HH @ May 22, 2017 -> 08:52 AM) I had a great time at Backlash last night...show was way better than I was expecting...the tag match was hilarious and fun as hell...the only match that really fell flat live was the women's match. It's become very apparent how much Bliss anchored the SD women's division, and without her around -- coupled with forcing Charlotte as a babyface -- they just have nothing going. The Ultimate Naomi is an absolute disaster as champion...they can't get that belt on Charlotte soon enough. I don't disagree with anything you said here. I went to get beer during the Women's match and it was just over abruptly. I actually hope they turn Becky cause I think she has the chops to be a really good heel and with Alexa gone she's the best talker on the Smackdown's women side now. I think we all agree that Charlotte is a much better heel but I'm also willing to give her a chance as a face this time cause she was just a bad character worker in general when she first came up. She might be able to pull it off now, as long as she doesn't go full like Becky or Bayley baby face.

I have a problem guys...I can't stop watching the Breezango match. Also, as I told Brian, I like the idea of Jinder and the idea that someone can come out of no where to get the title but I just wish he was better. He just doesn't entertain me at all.

Here's a weird take, outside of Punk-Cena in 2011 I've never had more fun watching a match than the breezango stuff tonight. Legit just dying laughing the whole time.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 21, 2017 -> 11:55 AM) How come I feel like Yolmer turning on Saladino is next? Friendships suck in 2017 Haha definitely.

So Takeover was absolutely awesome. The UK match might be MOTY(I liked it better than Omega-Okada) and the ladder match was incredible too. The Gargano-Ciampa program going forward should be unreal.

And he's the number 3 spect in my mind. Yoan and Kopech are too damn good.

QUOTE (iamshack @ May 20, 2017 -> 02:36 PM) Now that we have signed him, we will begin the tear down of his actual abilities. Right. I'm ready to say he sucks, who is with me?
