Maeda looked great today. So did that Lopez guy from the Dbacks

You guys got a steal with Trayce Thompson, his hand speed is so good.

Yes indeed. I see him and Ethier splitting time at left at the end of the season.

How can you have Corona, but not have lime?

Right? Bombers of Pacifico and corona with no limes for 3 years! Thankfully our long national nightmare is over!! What a lovely day!

 

[Dmncnby2k9]

Corona with no lime is a travesty. Glad they have corrected their mistake!

 

[MultiJhonny]

It's because Corona is only good with lime.

Corona isn't very good to start with.

Jesus christ... get off the phone kiddo. That's the worst area to be looking at your phone while action is going on.

If that's not the kid's father, the parents better buy him a nice dinner.

 

[Silver Arrows]

Notice the dude in the back of the kid with the Incredibles jersey?

 

[MultiJhonny]

True.

There's a metaphor for the generation in that photo.

Hot day, sitting in the sun? Much better than most other options. Can't imagine sucking back a Guinness while roasting in 95 degree sun.

When it comes to Mexican beer I feel like Modelo is the best of the "big 3" Mexican beers.

But when you're in line at the stand options tend to be more limited.

However beer >> no beer so the math checks out!

It's a a matter of time before netting gets expanded, but how many people sit on their phones that close? Common sense would tell you to pay attention.

Bats need to have the capability of a boomerang. Problem solved.

Is the kid ok?

Also, there are some quality faces in that pic. The two guys in the top left, Marco Rubio in the top right.

I just prefer water in that situation.

Chase Utley no suspension for the slide into Tejada

 

[GK86]

You mean tackle?

 

[CygnusXS]

You mean assault

 

[Corran Horn]

Not fair!

You would. Monster.

 

[MultiJhonny]

As much as I love Chase I can't defend that slide but that rule simply needs to be changed.

Moster Tour Water brah

I like beer, just not when I need hydration from the heat.

You're doing it wrong then.

You have beer and water around. It's not an either/or situation.

Wouldn't expect Astro fans to understand, sitting in their big comfortable dome and all.

ASTRO FANS ARE SOFT.

Let's start an A's-Astro rivalry.

It was. The Utley slide is now illegal, along with sliding late and any slide where you can't touch the bag. They did not go as far as the college rule, where you have to keep your body in line with the bag. Also, the neighborhood play is now reviewable so get ready to see a lot of reviews for that.

Well I guess that is what I meant I think it needs to be in line with the bag.

Me too, but apparently that was part of the give-take with the union, "didn't want to discourage aggressive play" and "players have been taught to play this way" and all that. At least it's progress.

No doubt. That woman who got hit with the bat at the Sox game a year ago was in critical condition (apparently she recovered and is ok now though)

Netting should be extended to the end of the dugout but of course someone has to die first before it can happen.

 

[Windu]

they are doing that this year. not a rule by mlb but a recommendation. lots of parks extending the netting.

 

[CygnusXS]

I'm not sure fan death is really a motivator. After all, they didn't ban Josh Hamilton in the interest of public safety.

and yet you still have people bitching about the sanctity of the game afterwards

also probably some 'PC world gone mad' BS

"Kids these days get all outraged when they get clocked in the head with flying timber. Back in my day I took my concussions and thanked the players for shortening my lifespan!"

 

[Ninja Scooter]

the easiest way to solve that problem and make the game safer for the fans is to replace them with robot fans.

Report from Goodyear for Giants-Tribe

- Kluber in complete control to start the game. Sharp command, excellent movement on his pitches. Dominant.
- Philly cheesesteak nachos surprisingly excellent
- Corona stand has limes again after 3 year absence
- nice grass parking lot but only a couple tailgaters. Makes no sense
- Williamson has some power for the gigantes
- Kyle blanks still terrible

I mean it is in Goodyear. Might as well be in Gila Bend.

You don't like the seductive tones of Charlie Steiner and Rick Monday?

This is the last year we ever get to hear the dulcet tones of Vin.

Gonna be weird when he's gone.

[Mr. Enigma]

It's very clear to me now that the Utley suspension was simply a means to make sure he never played Games 3 and 4 in NY.

Report from Glendale's Camelback Ranch for Pads-ChiSox

- Dodger dogs still sold during ChiSox games, but only the inferior, non grilled and also non Brooklyn style versions. Garbage.
- Ditka Sausage is a thing. Hot polish covered in hot peppers. Did not even attempt, but was tempted.
- Noodle stand was garbage, worst noodles in the cactus league.
- Chicago dog stand much better.
- Abreu and Frazier went back to back. Abreu really got a hold of his, Frazier seemed to miss it a bit, still had enough to carry it out.
- Rodon was working on his off speed stuff but it wasnt really working out super well. He'd fall behind then get pissed and blaze fastballs past the Pads.
- Bombers were $12. Come on. But they had limes. So.
- Kona Longboard also on draft at 3 locations.
- Definitely widest beer selection of any stadium in the Cactus.
- Mango is the only flavor of italian ice on offer worth getting.

Until next year, Cactus League...
