Pirates pick up Marlon Byrd and John Buck from the Mets.

 

Tonight is Marlon Byrd T-shirt night at Citi Field

Hunter Pence hit the longest home run in the bigs this season, 476 feet. At Coors, but still a huge blast

Going to Coors next week for a game. Anyone been and if so any recommendations (must eats?).

I don't remember what I ate (if anything) at Coors, but before the game I went to Wynkoop Brewing Company at 18th/Wynkoop.

 

Pork Schnitzel and Rail Yard Ale are both fantastic.

He doesn't hit a ton of them, but when he gets a hold of balls, they aren't cheapies

He plays in San Francisco for a large chunk of his games right? Is it possible to hit a cheapie there?

339 down the LF line, 364 to straight left, 364 to straight right, 309 down the RF line (with the wall in play)

 

It's definitely possible. Pence has the longest average distance for home runs this year among players with at least 13 of them.

Because his batting stance/swing is reminiscent of Happy Gilmore.

Elliot Johnson. Funny man.

 

Any idea why Stras exit early today?

Well, the steroids era is definitely in the past with 476 being numero uno.

Follow up to the Astro's story.

Knee surgery for Carlos Quentin, ends his year, 3rd surgery on the knee in 18 months.

A truly legitimate ultimate grand slam has only happened once in baseball history. Kinda bizarre considering the sheer amount of them that we have all hit in our youths via our imagination. Would truly be something to witness in game seven of a World Series.

Daniel Bard was designated for assignment by the Red Sox. I would hope the Sox pick him up.

Why is Mets vs Nats Sunday Night Baseball? Zzzzzz

Actually an exciting game I guess, but still...

Coop can fix him.

Wasn't he supposed to be the next big time closer? What happened?

 

And yeah, I'd take a flier.

27 wallks, 6 strikeouts in Rookie, low A and AA this season in 15 IP. Mayne sign him to a minor league contract once released, but I certainly wouldn't trade for him, unless they wanted Jared Mitchell.
