2016 MLB Season random commentary de facto thread

Hardest punch I've seen... Nolan's was more of a head nuggie kind of thing. Farnsworth wrecked a couple of guys in the day.

True or false: If Ruben Tejada hadn't had his leg broken, NY Mets fans would agree Joey Bats' slide was a hard-nosed play and that Odor should get the sand out of his vagina.

[dgfred]

Odor will get his too. I would call him one for not being able to knock a guy down with one punch to the jaw.

I was always slow (in general) getting to second base anyway... I would have to get a good early jump and not waste steps just to get there. When I did... I took great pride in breaking up the DP almost every time.
In HS I would get a free pinch-runner every time I got a hit... but in Legion Ball I got to run for myself (catcher). I also got blasted at home plate one time playing 16-18 all-stars in Alabama. When the dust cleared I was laying back by the fence with the ball laying beside me. The runner was safe but was rolling around home plate with a busted shoulder, haha. I can still see to this day the ball about an inch from my mitt when the guy's shoulder hit me right in the chest. Now they don't let you do that kind of stuff. If I had the ball before the runner arrived... I would usually slam the ball/glove/shin-guards into them trying to punish them for trying to score. Evil grin.
When my daughter was in HS playing softball I saw a home plate collision resulting in a scrap... but no real punches. Both girls got tossed from the game. The year after I was thru playing college ball my team got in to a real throw-down with another team with everybody throwing haymakers and some connecting... but I didn't see that one.

Pedro Baez throws 97, has a career 3.06 ERA and 89 K in 82 innings. Dodger fans HATE him.

Saying anything positive about relievers who implode at the most inopportune times is a reason why Dodger fans HATE stats, Mike.

What comes around goes around especially to hypocrites.

[dgfred]

It is strange. First the bat flip pissed off Texas. Texas beans Bautista on his very last AB against them unless they play in the playoffs, Bautista takes out Odor, Odor punches Bautista, Prince gets beaned next inning by Blue Jays... is there an end? I sure hope they do meet again this year. Bringing the fun back.

[schisno]

Almost as unwatchable as the real Padres? Or Leo's next draft class?

[dgfred]

Haha... the Texas AA team - Frisco RoughRiders have a new drink available... the R.Odor 'Fruit Punch' with a design on it of a fist hitting a jaw.

No way? Would love to see a picture of that!

Frisco RoughRiders Introduce Odor Themed Drink With ‘Punch’ To It « CBS Dallas / Fort Worth

See if that works .

Matt Harvey was booed off the field by Mets fans after giving up 9 runs.

Haha. Should've traded him for Puig when you had the chance. Look at you now, you arrogant shitheads.

[realmofotalk]

Syndergaard got tossed from the game for trying to exact revenge for a teammate who was cut by the team two months ago.

Thor did what he had to do and the umpires decided to be bigger than the game. Proud of Thor.

Intentionally throwing a baseball at someone is definitely something "he had to do" and part of the game. Proud of you New Yorkers.
