[The Nemesis]

"the most famous HR in baseball history."

The disrespect of choosing to say that with Joe Carter's Blue Jays as the opponent.

 

[The Nemesis]

Also why does it sound like the PA guy wasn't prepared at all for this ceremony?

Practice your lines, chief.

 

[The Nemesis]

"All you fans"

who are like 40% blue Jays...

 

[rojac]

Man watching the Stargell tribute really brings back lots of memories

Definitely. As someone who grew up as an Expos fan, I was very familiar with those late 70s Pirates teams. Stargell was one of my favourites.

Hahaha

He was humbled by the greats

Yep all showing their classy respect to those Pirate greats

Loved those expo teams

So Bo's favorite player growing up was Nomar Garciaparra. Not sure if I think that's a good thing because at least it's not Jeter, or a bad thing because it's not a great omen that his favorite is mostly remembered for a disappointing back half of his career.

 

[Da Cool Rula]

Let's go Trevor. Baby steps. 123 first inning

 

[canucksfan]

Yanks losing 2-0. They have Judge leading off.

 

[as Pure as Evil]

who would have thought this spring that we would miss grichuck mashing against the orioles since the rest of the team seems to struggle against them

 

[Da Cool Rula]

Let's go Trevor. Baby steps. 123 first inning

Thank you Trevor only 7 pitches. Great job

 

[Blitzkrug]

Jesus Cruz has such a cannon he can double pump and still get Gurriel with a second to spare.

Kid is going to be an absolute star. If his statcast is any indication he hits the ball harder than he throws it lmao.

[canucksfan]

I haven't been a big Richards fan, but he has pitched great since his DL stint.

 

[Da Cool Rula]

Ok 25 pitches. May be it for Trevor.

 

[trellaine201]

Here we go

 

[as Pure as Evil]

kikuchi sighting

will it blow up or will he be lights out

 

[Da Cool Rula]

Atta boy Kikuchi

Cheap single

 

[canucksfan]

That didn’t look like it was hit hard at all

 

[mikeyz]

I swear to god Kikuchi must have pictures on Shatkins.

That is honestly the only explanation I can think of for why he’s still on his team.

 

[Brock Boeser Laser Show]

Send Kikuchi down and bring up someone that might contribute positively

 

[trellaine201]

Great play Vlady.

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

Ok let's score some runs here because we may see Kikuchi for another inning...

 

[as Pure as Evil]

i think they have to rebuild kikuchi's value somehow. his contract was front loaded so he will be down to 10 once the offseason kicks in. .. one can hope they may be able to move on from him this fall.

if he can become somewhat of a pen piece you never know what other front offices will do or will pay for what if's

 

[canucksfan]

Have to get a run here but not looking promising

 

[Brock Boeser Laser Show]

This team stinks at getting runners in. Have no faith in any of these hitters to get the job done
