What a moment. Astros coach Rich Dauer was given a 3% chance to survive after suffering an acute subdural hematoma during the team's World Series parade.

He beat the odds and threw out the first pitch tonight after getting his ring.

All of a sudden the Jays remember how to hit like it's 2015 again.

"It was easier for the Astros to beat the Dodgers than it was for them to uncover the banner." lol

Fuck the Red Sox and everything they stand for. Fuck Boone too.

Jays are off to a decent start. I'm cautiously optimistic. Will be interesting to see what they do when Tulo comes off the DL. Diaz has been all right.

If the giants only had an offense beyond posey and panik. Four games of only scoring one run or less, and batting something like .135 with RISP.

Kingery's grand slam tonight was the second time in less than a week an intentional walk to load the bases was immediately followed by a grand slam.

Gary Sanchez remembered how to baseball.

There’s a brawl right now in the Yankees and Red Sox game lol.

Lmao Judge and Stanton basically son the entire Red Sox back into their dugout lol. The size disparity between the two teams is hilarious.

Throwing at guys is weak but that slide was dirty as fuck. Directly spiked his ankle

If a guy spikes you, just fight him right then. Why wait for your pitcher to protect you a half hour later?

Agreed. But it's unknown if the SS "expected" a pitcher to retaliate on his behalf to protect his honor. Could have been the pitcher trying to get respect. Baseball culture can be dumb as shit

Like clockwork, Donaldson to the 10 day DL with shoulder inflammation.

[Xno Kappa]

It’s like the Yankees are trying to give Detroit the win. Betances is simply the worst.

[Moss]

Royals lost on a caught stealing with the winning run at the plate. Close play... and they elected not to challenge. What the fuck

I know it's still stupid early, but I genuinely expected Toronto to barely be .500 on the season. So far I've been pleasantly surprised but I don't expect it to last.
