Love it, fuck Joe West.

Inserts himself into every fucking ballgame I have ever seen with him behind the plate.

^ That's insane. Dude is such an incredible hitter.

Ugh, this Yankees offense is offensive... Now that Judge isn't Babe Ruth (and in fairness to him, pitchers now are throwing everything off the plate and being insanely selective) & Hicks isn't just murdering it, this team really, really lacks offensively. Fucking cracks me up to see other Yankees' fans not want Bryce Harper down the road because, "He's a disgrace to the team." Yeah, sure. Really disgraceful to have a 1.036 OPS.

Stanton hit his 39th tonight. Looks like we are going to have another 50 HR season.

edit: A reminder that Mike Trout is good: .347/.468/.710 - 1.178 OPS 13 SB's in 70 games. If he played his full, regular season average of 158 games he would be on pace for 50+ HR & a 12 fWAR season.

Yeah, every time I catch a Reds game and Votto is up to bat, I am shocked if he doesn't get on base. Those hitters are extremely rare. Also the way he chokes up on the bat now. Crazy.

That vidya was so good it inspired me to make an Augmented Reality baseball thing where some pitcher throws balls at you.

Ah shit, that's pretty dope.

And yeah, that Japanese dude was throwing some electric stuff. Forgot to look that guy up and check him out.

Must be steroids, that's the only thing that makes sense!

I know all I do is post about Votto, but in a lost year for the Reds it's easy to forget about him. He's just having a phenomenal season - probably his best ever. At 33 years old. Actually makes watching a bad team fun.

Reds' Joey Votto closes in on MVP Award

Yeah, having Harper go down is gonna make the MVP race interesting. Goldschmidt is probably the front runner. Stanton & Votto are in the running but the bad teams won't help. Stanton's pursuit of 60 could certainly help him, we all still love the long ball. Also as great as Arenado is, Blackmon has to be the MVP of that team this year. His year is quite a bit better than Arenado's.

In the AL, it's probably Altuve's. That being said, Trout is making massive headway. That dude is so fucking good. He's gonna end up with 120 games played and 30+ HR with that insane slugging added on that OBP. Judge's slump has cost him an MVP. Still a super impressive year. He'll probably finish at about 6.5 fWAR this year and close to 45 HRs as a Rookie. That's ultra impressive. I fully expect Judge to be one of baseball's Top 10-15 players for the next 10 years. Slumps happen.

Yup, that was pretty soul crushing to watch.

Yeah, that sucks. 9 innings, and what appears to be one of the better teams of all-time can't get you a single run..
