The boys of summer! (Baseball Thread)

[Rogue219]

The Rays have played 15 games and are 10 games out of first place.

Baseball drug of choice right now is the Angels. Mets and Pirates have been fun so far.

The Diamondbacks minus Dave Stewart and Tony LaRussa = Good.

Harper just home run while snapping his bat in half..........

 

[wizards8507]

Holy hell the Red Sox are good. Sorry Camp.

I wish I could be more wholehearted in my baseball fandom. My dad grew up in Connecticut playing baseball and was a huge Red Sox fan, and then mid-70s moved to the Pittsburgh area and became a Steelers fan. He passed those fandoms on to me and I just feel like a dirty bandwagonner. I definitely care more about football, so I don't really hide my Steelers fandom, but I try to be more lowkey about being a Redsox fan. I'm from Southern Virginia originally so I have no allegiance locally to any team, as I don't identify with DC much.

That's me and hockey. I never get into the regular season but when they playoffs hit I'm all over the Bruins bandwagon.

Cards beat the Cubs in Wrigley. Feels good man

That seems to be a popular narrative but I'm the opposite... hockey, soccer, football, really like all of them. Baseball is a love affair tho, by far my fav sport. If I were a Steelers and sawx fan I prob just kill myself tho, so there's that.

 

[Irish2155]

Mookie Betts on fire right now.

 

[KPENN]

Brandon Belt with a 21 pitch at-bat today. Insane.

 

[ACamp1900]

And now for the most ‘So Cal shit’ you’ll hear all week,... Angels, an American baseball team, just announced team themed, Mexican Poncho Night, sponsored by Asian eatery Waba Grill... totally serious,... lol

 

[ACamp1900]

Ohtani just struck out the last year’s MVP,... he already homered off last year’s Cy Young winner....

 

[irishtrain]

Who's your team?

Toss up between Yankees/Cardinals. Red birds because of the unis-Bombers because of those young kid sluggers. Good starting pitching controls the Yankees but man are these young kids fun to watch hit. Cardinals unis may be the best in sports.

[ACamp1900]

Yeah birds on bat is super classic, those and Chicago Blackhawks whites... those are my first two that come to mind as best in sports

 

[Crazy Balki]

Nothing beats the White Sox away grey jerseys with the script "Chicago".

Nothing beats the White Sox away grey jerseys with the script "Chicago".

I'm a diehard sox fan and would put many in front of those

 

[ACamp1900]

Always liked the SOX pinstripe...

Trevor Bauer is accusing the Astros of using pine tar to increase their spin rate.

This should be a fun summer.

He should make sure Dallas Keuchel isn't a part of those allegations.

 

[ACamp1900]

Angels bullpen could use a whole boat load of pine tar apparently......

 

[ACamp1900]

I now hope the Browns win a Super Bowl soon so I can just change my sig to something like: "Cam Bedrosian is Krampus"... or some other joy stealing creature... sigh...

 

[ACamp1900]

Pujols at 2999 career hits...

 

[ACamp1900]

3,000 hits for one of the most class players ever!!!!

Korean tacos for everybody!!!

I'm enjoying it while it lasts. The Braves are fun again!

Did y'all see Jordan Hicks over the weekend?? He hit 105...

Dude throws 105 and only has 9 Ks in 22 IP. Weird.

 

[zelezo vlk]

Yup. His control is all over the place and he's only got about 2 pitches (from what I'm reading). Looks like he'll be a decent reliever, but that's all I'll expect from him until he can prove otherwise
