Even Gallo got 2 hits!

It had to be an emotional night for him getting two hits......He's a Cinderella boy, tears in his eyes, I guess......

You can't make mean spirited remarks to someone you have had past issues with. I personally don't think Donaldson's remarks were meant to be racial, but I do think there was some animosity within the remarks.

He's not hated around the league for nothing.

Just saying

[obxyankeefan]

All this hate and nobody realizes that Aaron Hicks has the 3rd highest BA when ahead in the count.





My first reaction when seeing this was damn he most get a lot of first pitch strikes.

Maybe we need to pick on Hicks more

Ohtani out after 3 innings. I only remember him making one other start against NY, and it ended the same way.

They were squaring up against him again today.....good to see for potential games that are way more important down the road.....

Not really clear on how he's still allowed to DH when he was removed from the game? He was listed as P hitting 2nd in the lineup.

 

[nynasty]

And he just got picked off.

LOL

The Ohtani rule allows him to stay in….DJ boom, 5-0

He got 3 hits today. Shocking.

 

[Cyder]

Trevino up to .275. He needs to play 5 days a week and Higgy 1 or 2.

MLB made a special rule for him, allowing him to stay at DH.

MLB made a special rule for him, allowing him to stay at DH.

Under a new rule nicknamed the “Shohei Ohtani rule,” a team can list a player as the pitcher and designated hitter on the days he starts, then remove him in one role but not the other.
