A’s to Vegas I guess. Was this in the works for a while? Never heard anything about it until today. They just need an NBA team and then there’s no other option that comes close for my place of retirement.

The lack of water might persuade you

This may be the weirdest finish I’ve ever seen. Detroit pitcher tries to kill the home plate umpire and it costs them the game!

Report: Nats' Strasburg has severe nerve damage

Nationals pitcher Stephen Strasburg has "severe nerve damage," according to a report by The Washington Post on Saturday.

Crazy to think he might be 'done, done'. Incredible pitcher when healthy but injuries completely derailed him. Guess at least he got paid and won a championship but still crazy to see how his career has turned out since winning the World Series.

I don’t know if I will. I’m a little nervous to meet a Hall of Famer.

"When they would have these cross county flights he would drink...some say 70 beers, he told me that the actual number...it was 107" - When Wade Boggs claimed to have drunk over 100 Miller Lites on a flight

Back in 2015, when Wade Boggs appeared on It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, he opened up to actor Charles Day about the number of beers he consumed on a single cross-country flight.

Must come with the name

Still enjoying this meme. These are probably the two best players of a generation and their entire careers will be irrelevant if they stay with the Angels. Will go into the HOF first ballot without a playoff appearance.

12 years, $55M/yr seems about right.

I guess if you’re a Yankees pitcher whose first name starts with the letter ‘D’ there’s a much-better-than-average chance you’ll throw a perfect game.

and if you throw a perfect game, you will win the World Series

I like where your head’s at, but that ain’t happening this year. Somehow they go from good to garbage without Judge.

They are 3 for 3 so far, so, we‘ll see

Probably a $500M contract as soon as he has enough service time.

de la cruz and ohtani are appointment televsision.

was watching the home steal live and it was electric. he's exciting in a way that hasn't existed in baseball since who? rickey henderson? he's regularly reaching 97 mph on throws from short to 1st which is insanity.

 

[Bullettoothtony]

Ohtani becomes first player in major league history to throw a shutout in the first game of a doubleheader, then hit a home run in the second game.

And just for good measure, he hit two home runs in the 2nd game.

It is absurd how good this guy is.

Ohtani rewards Halos with historic 1-hitter, 2 HRs

The playoff-contending Angels said Thursday they have decided not to deal Shohei Ohtani, and the two-way superstar celebrated with his latest extraordinary performance on the mound and at the plate.
