Adrian Beltre hit a home run today from his knees. Pretty impressive, but the head touching hijinx were, as usual, hilarious to watch: http://m.mlb.com/video/topic/0/v66508283/texoak-beltre-leads-off-7th-with-solo-shot
Forbes released their MLB valuations. Cubs are ranked 5th at $1.8 billion http://www.forbes.com/mlb-valuations/list/ The Cardinals are ranked 6th at $1.4 billion. Good thing they qualify for those competitive balance picks because they're such a small market team.
Yeah - all three were top 5 round draft picks. stupid brewers and their stupid [expletive] mound for ruining conway (am i remembering that right?) Don't even remember Conway. Did he have a bad leg injury last year or something?
Yeah the rules limiting both teams to five hits total are the best. lol, yeah this was more about a pitcher's duel than pace of play. The Tigers/Twins game today was an 11-0 blowout and it lasted 3 hours 9 minutes. But that still seems really fast for an 11-0 game....that's one minute over last years average game length. Touché. We'll still need a few more weeks to really tell a difference. There were a few 3:10 + games yesterday, but Monday there were a lot of games less than 3 hours.
