Rockies sure started the collapse early.

I was at the game and thought the ball had gone out since I was following Snider and not the ball. It wasn't until I saw the replay that I realized he completely borked it.

It's kind of strange how intense the Jays-Orioles rivalry is, considering the Jays haven't been anywhere close to the playoffs in 20 years. It's not like the players today would all be holding on to grudges from the 1993 all-star game or anything, yet they've had bad blood between each other for a few years now.
On TV, it looked like he had no idea what he was doing out there. There were quite a few balls that he either misplayed or took really bad routes on.

Mets should have kept Ike Davis as a lefty out of the pen lol. Honestly surprised last night was the first time he pitched in a game, seems like the perfect guy to use when you're getting shellacked. Easily decent enough to not drag the game on for an eternity.

I have the MLB gameday audio subscription. Is there anyway to listen to a game the next day? I tried going to this site: http://mlb.mlb.com/media/player/mpa/index.jsp?ymd=20150421#audioGrid and selecting yesterday as the date but nothing will play.
It's going to be ugly tonight. Someone will get hit. I'm getting my popcorn ready.

Can't wait
The pitching has been steely as hell just like always. The offense is either much better compared to this time last year or I'm misremembering. Our run diff is close to Mest territory (which is good for a change). This thanks to the lowest RA in MLB at 26. Next closest being Detroit with 41.

I think he used to pitch in college.

Just give me more screen grabs of Joey Bats and his laser eyes and some more dingers and I'll be good
Yeah I went to ASU while he was there. That's correct.
Is Jason Garcia going to get 5 games out? He kind of gave a dehumanizing stare towards home plate after that pitch.

Bautista's intimidation face, when that pitch sailed behind him, looked like Blue Steel
He looks like that Jesus painting.

Really sneaky there Sabean. Order your team to look like shit and then when the Dodgers come into town make them actually try. I see your dirty tricks!
Yea except when they hit like 9 extra base hits. I swear Matt Kemp had a game last year where he like 4 for 4 with 4 doubles.

Tell you what, this season has been pretty great so far in terms of player passion and pace of game. Really making the game exciting to watch.
Heh

Early, but the Cubs 2-3-4-5 is the best in the league
Rizzo 302/475/395
Soler 327/367/527
Bryant 444/583/611
Castro 352/375/481

I highly doubt it. That's usually a slow burn. They'll hit him in like July or August when its not obviously retaliatory.
We're still in the part of the season where getting 2 base hits raises your average like 20 points. In Bryant's case he could raise his average by like 125 by going 3 for 4.

This level of pitching is unsustainable so hopefully the clutch hitting comes around. Not sure how much stock to put into the W/L record or run diff since a chunk of the games have been against the Reds who the Cards apparently own.

Let's talk (again) about what an asshole Brett Lawrie is, since this idiot can't shut his trap.
Brett Lawrie reacts to Herrera suspension.
The absolute best quote of the whole thing is where Lawrie says, "It's a game, it's not about hurting people." Coming from the only guy who injured someone in the series, that's a mighty fine observation!
I also love that he talked shit at fans during the game. Lawrie, the professional, who states that is "not how we're doing things."
Brett Lawrie the shit talker.
Lawrie might, might, have a point if he didn't ignite this whole shit with a dirty slide at our shortstop's knee, trying to break his leg. Team's don't ignore that garbage and play on, and he knew there would be retaliation. Lawrie's victim mentality is laughable since he started things, and then complains about the outcome. Last I checked, he didn't get injured in the series. You can't say the same about Escobar. Who got suspended again???
This should have been over after he was beaned. Simple baseball unwritten rules. But no. The Athletics, who are a classy organization above this sort of behavior, intentionally beaned Lorenzo Cain. The situation escalated from there. So to recap, bullshit dirty player injures someone. Other team retaliates, and the situation is over. But no, the A's see fit to reignite the war for no reason. And then have the balls to point fingers and play the victim.
I feel like he is working on his wrestler heel status or something, and it's obviously working. His attitude and victim card got me genuinely heated during the series. I will comfort myself with the fact that the Royals took the series, and the Athletics are below the Houston Fucking Astros in the standings.

Now I'm really glad we fleeced the A's to get Donaldson.
Lawrie, shut your fucking trap and let it go.

Yep. As I said before, the minute Martin was signed, you could tell Lawrie's time with the Jays was done.
Agreed. The slide was bad enough, but then he lingered on the field and talked shit also after the slide. Then the dugouts got into it. I think that's what put it to another level in the Royals minds. People were holding up that Hal McRae slide, but look at the rest of it. Hal "slid" hard, accepted his out, and got his ass off the field. He didn't stay and instigate more shit and bad feelings and then draw his teammates into it.

Royals fans needs to stop acting like they haven't been irrelevant for 30 years. Sit the fuck down and enjoy your little run.

Compared to Ventura's whining and screaming from behind the protection of Perez, Lawrie looks like a true stand up guy.
And yep, the Royals took 2 out of 3 in an April series. Big ups to them. That's huge.
Being a game and half back of the Astros in 2nd place on April 22nd is truly significant.
Carpe Libertatem

Considering .500 ball from here on out gets them to something like 85 wins, yeah, it's actually kinda significant
They won't be playing ~.775 ball in September but they don't need to if they build up a big lead early

Was referring to the A's being a game and a half back of the Astros... Royals should definitely get a wild card this year. Detroit may run away with things.
For like a week. Just wait until May when they crash and burn and become irrelevant again
