    Oh, the irony...

    Poor officiating happens, you know. That doesn't mean the rule is flawed, it means the ump is.

    Oh, the irony...

    The ump showed a very clear inconsistency in his response. If Correa had been in the same spot, but been hit, he'd have been out. That means he's in the baseline, and that he caused the poor play.

    Oh, the irony...

    MLB has the right rule, it was just poorly applied here.

    Record or Rest?

    3 games of rest won't make a difference in the postseason. You've gone this long for the record, you can't quit now. Also, doesn't Curry only play like 30 minutes a game? I feel like people are way overhyping how many miles are on some of these guys' legs for the season.

    I loved every second of that match.

    And then there are the Reds and Brewers.

    Jose Bautista Interference? (Jays-Rays game)

    It's interference with the new rule (he didn't stay on the bag) and it's interference without the new rule (you've never been able to just grab players while they were attempting a throw). It's a shitty way to end the game, but there would be very few complaints if this happened in the 5th...

    Pirates, Polanco Agree To Five-Year Extension

    Also, I'm sick of the Pirates getting these deals. It's great business, but it's annoying as fuck.

    Pirates, Polanco Agree To Five-Year Extension

    Probably not. It still won't be better than Marte's, in my opinion.

    MLB Gamethread: April 3rd-April 9th

    The Royals really may be the most fun team to watch in the bigs. Limit the K's, incredibly intelligent on the base paths, great defense, and lots of movement from their pitchers.

    MLB Gamethread: April 3rd-April 9th

    The entire infield won't be in for a sac bunt. At worst, third base will be drawn in.

    MLB Gamethread: April 3rd-April 9th

    No. It'd take Marte not taking steps forward and Cutch taking massive steps back. He'll be the third best OF, again.

    MLB Gamethread: April 3rd-April 9th

    Matheny already doing Matheny things. Second inning, 1 out, runner on first, pitcher up, and we've got our infield playing in, instead of double play depth. Cool Mike.

    Prospect to watch for your team this season?

    Daz Cameron should be on that list.

    Which do you prefer? Slugfest or pitchers duel

    Most baseball fans also think hitting a home run is more exciting than watching someone race around the bases, I disagree.

    Take back a trade your team made...

    Trading Ryan Ludwick for Jake Westbrooke. That doesn't sound bad, but it was a three-way deal. Cards got Westbrooke, Padres got Ludwick, and Indians got....Corey Kluber

    Mike Trout with current contract or the first overall pick in 5 straight years?

    You can't expect all four, but you can expect them to turn into above average players. And five above average players produce more than Trout.

    Mike Trout with current contract or the first overall pick in 5 straight years?

    I thought about this for about 30 seconds, and then picked the draft picks. For starters, in 2018 Trout will account for about 25% of the Cards payroll ($34m). That's just tough to deal with. Second of all, the last five first rounders produced 21.6 WAR to Trout's 9.0 WAR - and that's with one...
