Holy shit Mookie Betts

 

[jbug617]

Betts tied with Papi for the most hr on the team.

 

[Koko]

Mookie

 

[Malo]

Mookie da gawd.

 

[Silver Arrows]

i want mookie

MOOKIE MONSTER

 

[Doogdogg]

lightning hands.

 

[Chase17]

Mookie holy smokes

 

[thestopsign]

What are the statistics on hitting 5HR in 7AB? That has to be close to some record.

 

[Dominican Power]

Why can't The Yanquis have young studs like Mookie and Xander? : (

 

[Neko Mimi Mode]

I mean, why even pitch to him at this point? He's crushing everything.

 

[Frozenprince]

So hey about that Mookie/Harvey trade

 

[rando14]

Yo dis Markus Betts kid is something

 

[Frozenprince]

I thought Xander had fast hands.

How quickly he turns on a ball is fucking astonishing.

 

[jbug617]

Joe Kelly needs to be in the pen.

 

[Brinbe]

Damn it. Cash in some runs.

 

[Frozenprince]

When all you have is velo you can't hack it at the big boy level.

His heat isn't heavy enough to get groundballs and is lifeless so it doesn't jam guys.

Hitting 98 on the gun is nice but if your heat is flat and light, you're gonna get dinged a ton.

Why can't anybody? Life just isn't fair.

 

[Mortemis]

Why can't anybody? Life just isn't fair.

Sure isn't.

 

[Frozenprince]

Why can't anybody? Life just isn't fair.

First step hire this guy

Second step let him do whatever he wants.

 

[jbug617]

Papi HR to take back the HR lead.

 

[Dominican Power]

Why can't anybody? Life just isn't fair.

Y'all had Syndergaard and d'Arnaud.

 

[Silver Arrows]

Y'all had Syndergaard and d'Arnaud.

In hindsight I wish we still did. But chances are if we kept Thor, he'd end up like Halladay: a quality ace on a subpar team.

 

[Frozenprince]

Y'all had Syndergaard and d'Arnaud.

 

[Silver Arrows]

Stroman and Thor....

 

[Tragicomedy]

This Witt Merrifield kid is legit. Dude can hit and field.

 

[DireStr8s]

A buffalo is ambling about the bases in Philadelphia.

 

[zulux21]

just got home from work and saw how the white sox game ended.

for the first time in like 3 weeks I am glad the white sox didn't DFA albers... I still think there is a good chance he is spent and needs to be replaced, but man... that was a crazy finish.

little sad that I didn't get to see the end of that game though since it ended up being historic

The Mets became the second team in recorded history to draw 13 walks and score one or fewer runs. The only other time that occurred was back in 1953. The White Sox became the sixth team since 1913 to have their pitchers combine for 12-plus walks, allow one run or less and win the game, according to STATS.

 

[Tragicomedy]

I wish we could play the Rays every day.

 

[LyleLanley]

This Mookie Betts guy seems to be decent at baseball.

 

[Malo]

Ellsbury can't even catch lol

 

[Brinbe]

Lol Jacoby! Happened right in front of me.

 

[Brinbe]

Gonna see some Grilli very soon.

 

[HarryDemeanor]

Fuck off Kris.

 

[The Elite]

Well that's a debut.

Edit: now tying his shoe lace.

 

[Grover Cleveland]

Joe Kelly needs to be in the pen.

I'd almost rather see Bucky and Kelly switch places.

At least Clay will go four decent innings before self-destructing.

 

[Malo]

I hope we suck the rest the rest of the way. Worst thing that could happen is we hover around .500 and management/ownership decides to stand pat at the deadline or even go for it. It would be like 2013 all over again.

 

[Malo]

Overwatch time.

 

[rando14]

Neal Kendrick ‏@neal_kendrick
Mookie Betts had as many homers in a 7 at-bat stretch as the Braves had in April

lul

Speaking from experience, it's really draining to watch non-competitive baseball every night.

Yeah but would you rather be the 2012 76ers in perpetuity?

 

[sangreal]

man, this team sucks. sell everything

seriously though, sell

 

[Parch]

What's this? Clutch hitting from the Jays? Shocking.

 

[CygnusXS]

Yeah but would you rather be the 2012 76ers in perpetuity?

I wouldn't undo the last year and a half, but that doesn't change how miserable these games are to watch.

 

[Brinbe]

Lol yanks

Get the brooms out

 

[The Elite]

This is good.

 

[Silver Arrows]

At the very least you can hope for the future.

 

[PROh1bited]

Loup actually retired the side for once.

 

[Windu]

I wouldn't undo the last year and a half, but that doesn't change how miserable these games are to watch.

these games are more enjoable than that one year where the bullpen would blow every single game. (We dont get leads this year). It was 2006 or 2007. The year that resulted in the Soriano and Mike Gonzalez trades.

edit: 2006. The bob wickman year.

God that bullpen was awful

I'm watching non-competitive baseball right now.

 

[The Elite]

Bautista grounding into a lot of double plays.
