QUOTE (oldsox @ Jun 1, 2016 -> 08:22 PM) Nice non-slide into second. Almost overran it. I was scared he wouldn't score on the sac fly! Then I saw the throw...

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 1, 2016 -> 07:29 PM) What happened Right after the strikeout and right before/right as he got pulled from the game, he started swinging his bat wildly in the dugout, hitting it against a bat rack (I think), trying to break it over his knee, etc.

Didn't even see Eaton's temper tantrum until now

QUOTE (Footlongcomiskeydog @ Jun 1, 2016 -> 03:34 PM) It is now June 1st and Gordon Beckham has a higher OPS than Abreu. Looking more and more like Abreu just isn't going to hit this year for whatever reason. Gordon Beckham is also not a statistically qualified hitter due to his 92 at-bats, but sure, keep attempting to fear-monger.

Is Jon Jay even that good? He's left-handed, but hasn't he fallen off?

He then advanced to third on a wild pitch and scored on an Abreu sac fly. Video coming soon

watching him run is beautiful PS he was nearly out at second!

albers too good

QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ Jun 1, 2016 -> 04:25 PM) Haha wow. As pessimistic as this game thread is, I peeked at the Mets one and they're all ready to hang themselves. link?

nevermind

Yay, Avila vs. a LHP...

Jones again? Burning Putnam for one batter could come back to bite us...

Wow we have lucked out time after time

QUOTE (StrykerSox @ Jun 1, 2016 -> 02:51 PM) I want to know what this means... Pop culture reference to a popular rap lyric ("1738"). Whenever someone's bill is $17.38, or it's 5:38 PM, otherwise known as 17:38, people feel the need to take pictures and share it with the world. That being said, Frazier's line is 17/38!

Maybe you guys are too old/not cool enough (sarcasm) to get this, but Todd Frazier has 17 home runs and 38 RBIs

Rollins should consider batting RH full time

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 1, 2016 -> 02:31 PM) Nice job by Duke! +1

Burning through relievers in a tie game...

I knew Eaton was slumping, but man have his numbers dropped.

We talk about his superior defense, surprisingly good hitting, etc. but how about his baseball IQ? I'm not saying that Rollins has a bad baseball IQ, as his is high, but Saladino's is pretty damn good too. He always makes the right play, hits the ball where the fielder's aren't, lays down good bunts... him stealing second and then third on back to back pitches last night is another pretty good example.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ May 31, 2016 -> 08:43 PM) I told everyone this a month ago.. What do I know though? I told everyone this the day we signed Rollins But in all seriousness, the fact that we all knew that Saladino > Rollins so early is pretty sad.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Jun 1, 2016 -> 09:44 AM) He can play first supposedly. But so can Abreu, Frazier, and Saladino. We don't need him.

Todd Frazier leads MLB in home runs
