Dozier and Sano for MN just homered in the 3rd vs OAK. Sano absolutely clobbered his to CF. It went way up where people were eating at a banquet food set-up. They said 464ft. Dudes a beast.

He is putting up MVP numbers so far this season. He has crushed KC so far. Hopefully the Twins can stay competitive

The Orioles / Red Sox rivalry is getting pretty heated.

A couple weeks ago Machado had a hard slide on Dustin Pedroia. Boston pitcher Matt Barnes then tossed at Machado's head in a later AB, earning a 4 game suspension.

Baltimore retaliated by plunking Boston's Mookie Betts on Monday.

Then you have the Adam Jones racist shit in that same game.

Last night Chris Sale tossed one BEHIND Machado at 98 mph.

Machado wasn't pleased and dropped 12 f-bombs in a post game interview ripping Sale and the entire Boston organization.

They play again tonight.

Gary Sanchez started rehab in triple A yesterday and went yard on the first pitch he saw. Rumor is, he could be back with the Yankees for the start of the series against the Cubs on Friday.

Aaron Judge just went yard again! Two run shot. His 13th of the year.
Aaron Judge hit his 13th HR in his 85th at-bat of the season, meaning he's homered every 6.54 at-bats. When Barry Bonds set the record with 73 homers in 2001, he homered every 6.52 at-bats (73 HR/476 AB).

His homer in the third inning during Wednesday's game against the Blue Jays was his sixth long ball of 425 feet or more this season.


He's swinging easy and just has power for days. He's a giant and he's hitting to all fields. I hope he stays as loose as he's playing right now but it's crazy to think his production will stay at the same pace.

Hopefully he can be the next great one. Its cool to see the generational players like Pujols come around. Trout is making a good run at being that guy right now. Hard to keep that pace for a decade though.

Fuck, Mike Trout. He isn't even the Angels best fish species outfielder.

The one he hit today went over the centerfield wall. It was in the 450's.

I don't know the order Joe has in mind, but man, when Sanchez comes back you've gotta put him and Judge back to back in the lineup. Pitchers will have to pitch to at least one of them.

Baltimore's starting pitcher got tossed in the 2nd when he hit a dude with a 77 mph curve ball. Haha. That ump wasn't fucking around with any more shenanigans.

So the question is, was it a snarky pitch that was actually intentional? It was the slowest pitch the guy has thrown all year according to statcast. Very interesting.

I tried to watch this last night. All I found was a Yankee's game.

MLB puts good teams on nationally televised stations. If you want to watch a crappy team, you need to live in the general area of that team and get their local sports network.

If you want to watch the Red Sux, you'll need to move to Boston.
