MLB Daily Thread: 5.12.16: Thor kicks butt and other teams cower in fear

Dude!

Single-handedly thwarts the heathen Doggers in their own stadium. I hope he bats DH when we play some more interleague games.

Cower, mortals!

Brilliant strategery f/Collins:

Syndergaard hit a solo homer on the first pitch from Maeda (3-2) in the third inning, and slammed a three-run shot in the fifth. In that at-bat, Syndergaard tried unsuccessfully to bunt before manager Terry Collins gave him the sign to swing away.

''When you're supposed to bunt, you'd like to see him get the bunt down,'' Collins said. ''But if you don't get the bunt down, you might as well hit a homer.''

Excellent management skillz, Terry

I don't care if the Jays had won the fucking World Series last year I will always despise Anthopoulos for that fucking trade.

Sorry it had to be the Jays that got raaped in that trade, but...I don't know how to finish that sentence

You can have d'Arnaud back, at least?

I just never understood why he had to give up Thor. D'Arnaud and another prospect, even if it was Sanchez, should've been plenty for Dickey. The Jays have the best rotation in the majors right now ERA-wise, imagine if they had Thor going every 5 days instead of that HR-serving hippie.

Anyway, at least he went to the Mets and not the Yankees. It dulls the hurt.

Clearly they have no shame...this is the same franchise that thrust "Nomo-mania" on the major leagues

The Brewers ARE embarrassed

I'm waiting for the Yankees to trade Pineda

They're white-hot and you know it, Hu.

Anybody that can split w/ the Mets at home is bound for goodness!


Unrelated, but I just realized I made this thread a "Poll" instead of "MLB Daily." Sucks to be me.
