I don't watch nearly as much baseball as I used to, but I've seen 2 grand slams so far this season.  Pretty interesting in that, prior to this, I don't think I've ever seen one!

I find it virtually impossible to get a whole baseball game in anymore. Was lucky enough to see Pujols homer yesterday

Braves were beating the crap out of the Nats last night, so Washington used a position player to pitch late. He plunked Atlanta catcher Travis d'Arnaud. It was pretty brutal. Please pray for Travis!

I think the Nats need to drop the font size for player names a few points.

Stay classy, Yankees fans ...

Craziness in Anaheim tonight ...  

Reid Detmers, making his 11th major-league start, throws a no-hitter ... 
 

And what's kinda funny ... The Angels were blowing the Rays out, so Tampa Bay used a position pitcher to pitch. Just for the hell of it, Anthony Rendon -- a right-handed hitter -- bats left-handed for the first time in his career. What'd he do?

The Reds are heating up.  About a month too late.

Sox starting to get healthier. Vaughn is back.

FU Yankees. Sox win.

Reds no hit the pirates and lose 1-0. Because this year wasn’t going bad enough lol

Albert Pitching for my Cardinals. Wow what a day! Would've only been right if Yadi was catching though

[LamarCheeks 16,809]

First major-league AB. 

BOMB! 

He's on pace to hit roughly 8,374 career homers. I think that would be a record

Pretty amazing.

Nellie Fox struck out 216 times over 19 major league seasons from 1947 to 1965, a span of 10,351 plate appearances.

Joey Gallo struck out 213 times last year.

Dude struck out less once a month or so if you average it out for the entire year and not just the season. That’s insane.

Vin Scully passed away tonight. 

RIP to a true baseball legend who never had an at-bat and never threw a pitch. 

Jeez -- Bill Russell on Sunday and now this. The sports world lost two legends and true gentlemen in the past three days.

Pujols has done it. Hitting 700.  A mark that was unthinkable until he left the angels. Fitting that it happened at the dodgers if not in St. Louis

Air Yordan. We have lift off!!!!

Padres, Phillies, Astros, and potentially the Indians? Not how I was expecting this to shape up. Been a crazy post season thus far. 

[Alford Bailey 12,242]

Always nice to occasionally see a team not in the top ten of payroll make the post season.

Look who's jumped on the Pads bandwagon lol
