MICHAEL YOUNG, DODGER SLAYER

(I'm aware Ramirez didn't come up with it cleanly but Young's been my fav player since I was 10 so smd!!)

Yanks vs. Sox in 2 hours, 5 bucks on a brawl. LGI SOX

 

[Del Rio]

5 bucks on Sabathia getting rocked like he always does against the Red Sox

 

[Del Rio]

and boom goes the dynamite

 

[BKC]

Couldn't have said it better

 

[Expert Evan]

This now gets intense, probably more so compared to the NL Central race.

 

[BKC]

Expecting an updated version of that gif with the home run tagged on the end

 

[Puma Italia]

Stay classy Boston. I hope Dempster gets suspended, what a clown.

 

[Killah]

Braves fans have competition for most classless fans? Hooray!

 

[Puma Italia]

Boston fans are jerks. Doesn't matter what team they are rooting for, they are all scum.

(except for any of you Boston fans here, I'm sure you are all wonderful people!)

Ichiro with 4,000 hits!

 

[Puma Italia]

Ichiro is such a good hitter, he would have had just as many hits in the Majors as he did those years in Japan.

Ichiro with 4,000 hits!

meh if youre counting japan why not count triple a numbers for others? There's really no difference in level

This sentiment is some straight up nationalistic bullshit. This isn't Sadaharu Oh who never played a game in the MLB. This is a guy who proved that if he had been in the MLB instead of in Japan he would have had about the same success. He's been in the MLB for 13 years now. No player in MLB history has as many hits over 13 years as Ichiro does. No player has more hits in a single season either.

But let's set that aside and unfairly label Japan as the same as the minors. You want the list for guys other than Ichiro with 4,000 hits between the minors and bigs combined? Rose, Cobb, Aaron, Musial, Julio Franco and Jigger Statz. So four of the all time greats, a guy who played all across the world and played until he was 49, and a guy that might be the most prolific minor leaguer ever.

Matt Harvey partially torn UCL. Headed to the DL and may need Tommy John surgery. Uh oh.

[Stallion]

Poor Harvey, the Mets were looking to finally having a bright future too.

 

[Mr.E]

But pitchers always seem to come back from TJ better than ever!

 

[Puma Italia]

Even though I'm a Yankees fan, I enjoyed watching the Mets whenever Harvey was pitching.

Speaking of the Yankees, 2.5 back in the Wild Card after all of the injuries earlier this season? If Girardi isn't the Manager of the Year, then there is a serious problem.

 

[BKC]

Red Sox 20-4 Tigers

Ortix with 2K career hits!

 

[Mr.E]

I'd like to congratulate the PITTSBURGH PIRATES on breaking the longest drought of consecutive non-winning season in major North American sports history.

I'm kinda disappointed tbh

 

[Imanalt]

YEAH PIRATES LGI NOW WE JUST HAVE TO WIN THE DIVISION

 

[Stallion]

I just had a feeling about that bottom of the 8th. This could be season defining stuff right here. Rios was safe by a good amount too. Fuck Andy Fletcher, what a downright bullshit call

 

[Imanalt]
