It would be great to get the series from Houston before going to Tampa Bay.

Yasiel Puig will make his MLB debut tonight.

[Obst]

Domonic Brown named NL Player of the Month.

[Leftwich]

Not that anyone cares but i ordered these two shirts today.

may enjoy the shirt.

[Pitty]

Beauty.

Domonic Brown ranked 38th in WAR among NL players in the month of May. Smrt voters.

[FedEx227]

Hit a bunch of homers and regardless of what else you do we'll love you.

DON'T TAKE STEROIDS TO TRY TO HIT HOME RUNS, WE HATE YOU.

Baseball writers everybody.

A Sub-Trumbo OBP will do that to ya

In all seriousness though, I'm happy to see Brown is providing value. He took a lot of shit for years and was jerked around quite a bit by the organization.

The career trajectory reminds me a bit of Pedro Alvarez, though without the glaring platoon issues Alvarez faces I suppose that's a bit unfair. Alvarez is much more one dimensional due to his inability to hit LHP, but both were post-hype prospects who turned into 30 HR hitters (with below average on-base skills) after being given up on completely.

Am I the only one who thinks Sutcliffe has one of the worst goatees of all time?

1000 career hits for Brian McCann


ONE THUNDO!

The hype will get annoying fast, but at least it gives Doyer fans something to be happy about.

Nothing wrong with a fanbase getting excited about a young player, especially when he has a great debut.

[Woy]

Speaking of young players, we have a treat tonight in St. Louis.

Michael Wacha vs. Tyler Skaggs. There have been three pitchers 21 or under that have started a game this season, and this game will match up two of them.

Brandon Belt on line one!
