  1. Holy [expletive]. Some dude did a bicycle KICK in men's Volleyball in the Pan Ams to keep the volley alive and it worked.
  2. There's nothing quite like the Brennaman laugh.
  3. It's about time for Kris to ignore his dad and take notes from sontensei instead.
  4. Yeah, you can't give the pitcher both of those.
  5. This pitcher's stuff looks better than I was expecting.
  6. Gallo is still considered a top 10-15 prospect for some reason. His contact problems are every bit as worrisome and Baez is a middle infielder.

    Castro

    And then what? Herrera everyday? Herrera and Alcantara until La Stella and Baez return, or trade for Zobrist or something. I'm not anti-Castro, and if we keep him, I'd continue to run him out there on the hopes he breaks out and because Herrera and Alcantara don't excite me one bit. But if we're being honest with ourselves, losing 2015 Castro and playing Herrera and Alcantara doesn't make us worse.

    Castro

    Bold Prediction: Castro will be a Padre by August 1. The Padres' infield is such a disaster (true, that's also the word that would describe Castro's season) that I could see them having interest in Castro, as well as a guy like Villanueva. Castro for Shields as the main deal, and use Villanueva to have the Padres eat some of the money owed to Shields and get a mid level prospect from the Padres also.
  9. I could see Chapman being extremely wild this inning.
  10. lol at ball one to Votto. Another tough night for the home plate umpire.
  11. i thought it was cool as [expletive] don't tell anyone but i really like brandon phillips I haven't liked him since he was a total douche to a Reds' writer who accurately pointed out in an article that Phillips isn't a high-obp guy.
  12. I totally thought he threw that away when the SS wasn't in the frame. Damnit.
  13. I just don't quite understand umpires' refusal to appeal on those.
  14. Whoever said Richard looks like Stevo-o was spot on. Damn.
  15. The F bomb slowed him down a little, thankfully.
  16. Man, umpires are terrible. He wouldn't have even thought of calling that 3-0 pitch a strike if it was an 0-2 count. That's a frustrating AB for Coghlan. Should've walked and instead lined out.
  17. Scoring early in Arrieta starts makes for some very non stressful games.
  18. I have faith in Strop, especially with a cushion of more than one run. But man, Grimm has been crazy good; he needs higher leverage innings.
  19. Don't like that pitch selection against Simmons. No reason to try to get him to strikeout looking on a front door cutter with a 3 run lead. Challenge there.
  20. If you're taking a fastball right down the middle with the bases loaded, you're really overthinking things at the plate The third strike was a near-perfectly placed 98 mph fastball. He probably should've offered at that first pitch though.
