Wonder if the Padres score a run this year.

Rockies Trevor Story hit 2 more HR today.

Brings his total to 4 straight games to start his career with a homerun and 6 HR total in those 4 games. Insane.

Reyes is probably out of a job now, but he earned more for 4 games on suspension than Story will all year so there's that.

Stripling with a no-no through the 7th against the Giants in his MLB debut

And of course the relief pitcher gives up a 2 run HR to the first batter he faced.

David Price only lasted 5 innings giving up 5 ER and then Kimbrel gave up 3 runs in the 9th inning.

Let me enjoy this moment of schadenfreude.

Glad to see the Jays didn't drop big time because of the blown leads in TB and BOS. I know some of the fan base was losing their minds over it (based on my Twitter feed), but baseball is a long season and I think they will pick up momentum going forward.

Thru six tonight, 1 run with 12 strike outs and 25 swinging strikes from his of 64 total strikes. He's a monster, and their staff is absurd overall. Just might not have enough offense.

[Machiavelli]

Ugh.....I hope that trade doesn't haunt us for years to come

[troutman]

Giants are crushing it - 3 HRs and 7 more runs tonight.

Posey takes the night off, and Brown hits 2 HRs.

I heard something about COL raised some fences to reduce HRs?

[Drake]

Syndergaard with 26 swing and misses on his 99 pitches tonight. That includes 10 whiffs on his 15 swings with his slider. Filthy!

[transplant99]

Something you dont see everyday.

The Reds are flying on the base paths, swiping five bases from the Rockies in the bottom of the second inning.

ESPN Fires Curt Schilling For 'Unacceptable' Conduct

http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-w...ntent=20160420

Curt Schilling, the MLB pitcher turned analyst for ESPN, was fired by the network after sharing a post on Facebook that appeared to comment on North Carolina's law that bars transgender people from using the bathroom that corresponds with their gender identity.

In a now-deleted Facebook post (captured by Out Sports) he wrote: "A man is a man no matter what they call themselves. I don't care what they are, who they sleep with, men's room was designed for the penis, women's not so much. Now you need laws telling us differently? Pathetic."

[CofR]

Took way too long for them to fire home

[Dan02]

Arrieta with a no no through 8.

[Sylvanfan]

Arrieta closes it out. Whatever this guy has taken in the past calendar year....I want some.
