Minnesota Twins starter Bartolo Colon became the third active MLB pitcher to beat all 30 teams with a 12-5 win over the Arizona Diamondbacks on Sunday.

"It means a lot to my career," Colon said through a translator after matching the Washington Nationals' Max Scherzer and the Cubs' John Lackey, who accomplished the feat last season. "Now, I haven't won in two stadiums, so that's the next goal."

Judge should be moved to 5th or 6th in the batting order at this point especially with the way Gary is swinging the bat

 

[bksballer89]

Yanks play Detroit and Seattle this week.

They should really go 4-2 this week.

and I wonder if he will ever get "deeked" out like Mookie did to him on 2nd base

 

[Rock Strongo]

the red sox do not have 1 regular with an OPS over .798

not one regular with at least 250 AB's here qualifies

Yeah that was bad. For his sake thankfully it did not lead to a run

 

[Rock Strongo]

since the beginning of june, rick porcello:

9 starts
5-4
3.47 ERA
.230 BA against

but...12 home runs

I thought for sure it would have but you are right for his sake it worked out.

I will say this.... Judge is good to the fans... I was at the game Saturday and every time they were done throwing the ball around during innings he would toss the ball into the stands

speaking of howard, i had no clue the braves released him and he went to CO.

hes hitting .188 in the minors. the shift absolutely killed his career.

What's pretty encouraging about Hoskins is that for a power hitter he hasn't been striking out very much this year. His K% in AAA was 15.8%. So far in the majors, it's only 14.9% (granted it's only 11 games). But he's also walking a lot (13.5% in AAA, 17% in MLB).

Also, Fangraphs' KATOH system loves him. Gives him a good chance of producing at least 16 WAR (Ryan Howard had 19.4 career WAR). There's some pretty exciting comps (Carlos Pena, Votto, Helton, Hafner, Nick Johnson (who was a damn good hitter, but just couldn't stay healthy)).
