Yeah but fat ass rock is too lazy these days. I'm up now getting ready for work so I thought why the hell not?

Not sure how long the Mets success will last so I'll enjoy it while I can.

Reds @ Cardinals. They own us. Always a fun series for Cards fans, though.

As a fan who had no rooting interest in the game, it was entertaining, even though I fell asleep with TV on before it finished. Got to see the three-run shot that Goldy hit off MadBum and the two-run shot that Crawford hit off a lefty. Pretty dramatic stuff!

Right as the game started, I texted my friend, "Trumbo is gonna knock Bumgarner around. Goldy too" Why can't I be prescient about the friggin' lottery?! That left on left with Crawford was pretty cool though. I thought for sure he'd come through in extras. Where do I find stats on LOB totals for teams thus far in the season? Giants HAVE to be up there.

You are right ... only Boston and KC have left more men on base per game this year than SF.

The two day games today feature former Rays teammates Shields and Price. Could also see the debut of Kris Bryant against Shields.

What a bunch of crap. That's average per game?! Well, I guess the silver lining is that at least there are guys getting on base

That's how I would view it. It's also a small sample size, there exist something called regression to the mean, blah, blah, blah
