Yep, So many good young players right now. Dodgers still have a few more coming into the majors next year and possibly might even be called up this year. Seager and Urias

Giancarlo Stanton has 27 homers going into June 25th, curious if he gets to 30 before July. Believe it would be only the third time in history; Ruth, Griffey Jr in '94, Bonds '01. I completely understand that baseball can be very slow at times, but there are very few things in sports more exciting than watching that guy hit a line drive out of the park in something like 3-4 seconds. That is a massive fucking park also. Dude is definitely one of the best athletic specimens on the planet.

Stanton seems to be about the only guy in the last few years that got a mega-contract, and is actually worth it. Maybe Cabrera, but his new 10 year contract just started last year, pretty sure he'll be WAY out of juice before that even gets close to the end.
the Marlins giving Stanton that contract will end up being similar to the Rangers giving Alex Rodriguez the massive contract early in his career(2001). Alex stayed damn good for almost that entire 10 year period (2001-2011), it'll be interesting to see if Stanton stays in Miami his entire career or if they deal him for a shitload of prospects like Texas did with Rodruigez, and it paid off, Texas made the WS twice during the time period that would have been A-Rods original contract.

Is it just me, or are the umpires getting more and more out of control?

Ya, that's bullshit. He was obviously just upset with himself. No reason for an ump to stomp to the mound like that. Give the pitcher a warning if you think it's warranted, but the umpire should never under any circumstance be instigating a face to face altercation
Yeah, I'm assuming it was just some bullshit manufactured injury to avoid sending him down or DFAing him, but either way, I'm fine.Astros placed Qualls on the DL today (pinched nerve).

Giants can't catch a break on the injury front. Started the season very short handed and they keep piling on the DL stints. Lincecum looks to be the latest victim after putting together his most solid start since his Cy Young era. Aoki going down hurts a lot too, that guy was one of the best free agent pickups of the seasons so far...
Only 1 game back of the Dodgers though, they cannot like the fact the Giants are hanging around, especially the way the Giants have played them this year.
