[QUOTE="worlock77"][QUOTE="TonyDanzaFan"]Jesus christ, Josh Hamilton is a BEAAAAST. I hope he hits 62 and breaks Maris' record. I'm a Yankees fan btw, but Skip Bayless said it best on thursday. He could've been the GREATEST player of all time." I kind of agree. If he played at this level, without the drugs, he very well could have been. TonyDanzaFan

Ridiculous. Too premature to call Freeman>Heyward/Hanson. Master_Live

The Dodgers with the best record in the Majors? I'm very content with that. Ever since Kemp cooled down, and Ethier some what did also, the rest of the team has been picking up the slack. A.J. Ellis has proved that he was the correct choice for starting catcher. Loney needs to pick up his average. He's always been a batter who hits for average, but he just had a horrible start to the season. I think the team's biggest surprise, or surprises, are Ted Lilly and Chris Capuano, who are both 5-0. I don't think anybody expected that. I certainly didn't.

Also, I'm still waiting for the 2011 NL Cy Young winner to arrive to the team. Seems like he never reported to the team on opening day. Maybe he forgot what day the season started?

Actually Heyward doesn't have a full year of experience over Freeman, as Freeman was called up in the September of Heyward's rookie season. Freeman has a prettier swing than Heyward, though Heyward's swing looks better than it did last season. I don't see a comparison as premature. Which player will be better is still up in the air though.

Bryce Harper had his 1st home run in the pros. :D

Wish I was at the stadium but I have Finals.

MLB fires Shyam Das, the arbitrator who overturned Ryan Braun's drug suspension Technically, he was right.Master_Live

lolwat. I pity Das, that's got to be the worst job situation in the world, so much as making controversial decisions like those. either way, is more or less the guaranteed to be the ending of your career in major league baseball.

Likelihood of Lawrie getting a big suspension for hitting ump with helmet? He spiked his lid onto home plate, it then bounced up and hit the ump in the back. I think he'll get a few games, maybe 3. No video as of yet.

Agreed. He's been very good at bottling up his energy, it was just a matter of time before he exploded. He will learn from this and will be better off. He will feel like S* for 'letting the team down'. As he should. I'm just worried MLB will make an example of him. 5 games max.

That's the pitch location. Atrocious.

It was a good freakout...so yay, new sig :P

I was at the Rauch one last year. That one was freaking crazy. Looked like he was going to kill Marquez. At least those calls were a bit closer.

That's my thinking. But those were some f***ing terrible calls. http://www.brooksbaseball.net/pfxVB/cache/numlocation.php-pitchSel=407845&game=gid_2012_05_15_tbamlb_tormlb_1&batterX=71&innings=yyyyyyyyy&sp_type=1&s_type=3.gif That's the pitch location. Atrocious.JohnBean42

Pitch 5 was nowhere close to a strike. The 6th was just too close to take, especially for a youngster, and extra special because of the previous call. Events like today will pretty much guarantee he wont be getting those calls for some time.

Even Jose hasn't gotten those calls, most likely cause of his little freak out last year in the dugout.JohnBean42

True. Umps can be very vindictive. The umps should get tougher skin. They know they will have to put up with a lot in that profession. That's why they get the big bux. But contact is too much.

I am wondering if and waiting for the pitch trax to be involved in balls and strikes. Wont be soon I know that, but maybe in my lifetime.

That ump deserved it. Is it really that hard to expect someone that gets paid 6 figures to referee a GAME for 6 months a year to at least be competent at their job? Those were terrible calls. Lawrie is a hero and so is the dude that threw the beer. Then I seen that Miller is filing a complaint against Lawrie. What a joke. You got grazed by a helmet, grow a sack and some eyeballs.-Halftime-

Throwing a bear at an umpire? Always been a dream of mine.

Also how about Braun getting beaned, Weeks finally getting a homerun, and the Mets manager pulling his star player so he doesn't get hit? It's obvious Braun getting hit was done on purpose, but since the Mets didn't admit it no one will be punished. Dat MLB justice logic.

Lawrie gets 4 games, will appeal, and will play tonight. Who's the ump at 3rd? Bill Miller.

Kuroda getting rocked big time. The bats awoke this game.

Slaps on the wrist left and right in all sports it seems.....cept maybe NFLX360PS3AMD05

Oakland A's may relocate That doesn't sound good. Master_Live

The Giants need to stop being buttholes. How can they claim exclusive territory rights to San Jose when that town is closer to Oakland than it is to San Francisco?

[QUOTE="X360PS3AMD05"]Slaps on the wrist left and right in all sports it seems.....cept maybe NFLTonyDanzaFan

I just now that Lawrie didn't help himself with the umpires, strike zone about to get even larger.

Oh man. If I were Lawrie I would have been tempted to deck the guy. Human error's one thing, but those calls were on a whole new level of incompetence.

Awwwwww, finished one home test, one to go. Now lets watch some baseball!!!!!!

Master_Live

If it does, then there will be more umps getting suspended. There is no way they can get away with increasing the size of the zone. They can however, not give him the close calls. If anything, this incident will cause everyone to stop and take a closer look at what the umps are doing. Everyone in the world has seen that those calls were god awful, they acknowledge that Lawrie had a beef.

JV dealing tonight. 8.1 no-hit innings. And it JUST ended as I typed that. Of course I start watching and it ends....

Jays pounding the Mets. Congrats to Yan Gomes, 1st Brazilian player in history. 1 HR tonight. Jp and Davis with 2 HR.
