April 6, 201610 yr Story with another homer. Boy those Rockies sure can't hit homers on the road...oh wait
April 6, 201610 yr QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Apr 6, 2016 -> 02:45 PM) Story with another homer. Boy those Rockies sure can't hit homers on the road...oh wait This is the second time you've brought this up with the apparent intention of making a point. Who are you arguing with and how did they offend you? Is this because you want Cargo? In the last five seasons the Rockies have hit 42% of their home runs on the road, compared to the MLB average of 49.9%. During that time they're 20th in baseball in homers on the road, and 4th at home. They're 27th in SLG% on the road and 1st at home. They've earned their reputation for hitting better at Coors.

I'm just being a smartass They've earned the rep but they can still hit.
April 6, 201610 yr QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Apr 6, 2016 -> 12:44 PM) It is consistent with how I was taught to play the game and I fully think it is a solid play. It isn't as if the Rays were up in arms in protest either about it. They just figured, what the hell, why not. I'll give you that he probably shouldn't have reached out, but I like this style of play. Incidental contact is one thing, but doing it on purpose is another. Are you also OK with A-Rod trying to hit the ball out of the pitcher's hand? Because you're basically saying that's OK too by allowing base runners to trip fielders on purpose.

April 6, 201610 yr QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ Apr 6, 2016 -> 03:50 PM) Cano already has 4 homeruns. So does Trevor Story...lol Cano's struggles in the first half really deflated his season last year. He was pretty solid in the second.
April 7, 201610 yr QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Apr 7, 2016 -> 01:01 PM) Jay Bruce is having a hell of a game. How do we get him to Chicago? Im sure the Reds will fly him here when it is time to play the cubs. Unless he is afraid of flying, then he will take a bus
April 7, 201610 yr Starlin Castro's 7 RBI in first 2 games of the season is most by a Yankee ever in season's first 2 games. Edited April 7, 201610 yr by Dick Allen
April 8, 201610 yr QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Apr 7, 2016 -> 06:24 PM) Starlin Castro's 7 RBI in first 2 games of the season is most by a Yankee ever in season's first 2 games. That is actually pretty incredible considering the hall of fame players and the longevity of that franchise.
April 8, 201610 yr Author QUOTE (SoxAce @ Apr 8, 2016 -> 02:01 AM) That is actually pretty incredible considering the hall of fame players and the longevity of that franchise. And the 3 game record he broke wasn't Babe or Lou, it was Shelly Duncan. ESPN Stats & Info @ESPNStatsInfo 1h1 hour ago Starlin Castro's 8 RBI are most by a player in his 1st 3 games with Yankees, breaking Shelley Duncan's mark (via @EliasSports)
April 9, 201610 yr Starlin is such a strange specimen. he's likely to reach a number of HOF-type milestones, and yet not have a shot at the HOF.
