I chose to go yesterday.Bartolo Colon just hit his first MLB HR in San Diego, so pissed I did not head down to witness that.
Bartolo Colon just destroyed a baseball for a 2 run HR
Watching the Phils-Marlins game and the announcers couldn't believe Colon actually hit a HR. They thought somebody was messing with them.Bartolo Colon just hit his first MLB HR in San Diego, so pissed I did not head down to witness that.
Pretty sure it is in every pitcher's contract that if you give up a HR to Bartolo that you are automatically DFA'd at no cost to the team.You guys are missing the best part. He hit the HR off of...........James Shields. Hey, let's trade for that guy.
He's the new Barry Bonds. Can't have Ryan Zimmerman protecting your franchise guy.Top 12, 1st and 2nd and 2 out again. And another IBB for Harper. 6 walks and a HBP today.

It really is starting to feel like Golden State (minus the whole defending champions thing). 538 has them ending at 107-55 right now:Cubs are only 93 wins away from breaking the regular season wins record.
"Horse faster than Bartolo Colon" doesn't really surprise me...Nyquist ran the last 1/4 mile of the Kentucky Derby faster than it took Colon to round the bases yesterday, according to MLBN.
Video is in the Unusual Plays threadCan't find a way to link directly to the video, but weirdness in the Marlins/Brewers game. J.T. Realmuto hit what should have been a two-run home run to deep center. But the runner on first, Marcell Ozuna, thought the CF might catch it, so he ran back to first to tag up...as Realmuto was rounding the bag in his HR trot. On replay, Realmuto called out for passing the runner, and Ozuna scores on a 408 foot RBI single over the CF fence.
Here's the video.Bryce Harper definitely screamed "fuck you" at an umpire tonight, and I'm pretty sure he followed that up with a slur that starts with F as well. "Make baseball fun again", huh?
To be fair, Bartolo had to carry Bartolo Colon around the bases. If the horse had to do that he'd probably run pretty slowly too."Horse faster than Bartolo Colon" doesn't really surprise me...
After perennially misspelled old friend Anthony Ranaudo gave up 5 ER in 1 and 1/3.Bullpen collapse by the ChiSox (Albers) . 7 runs in the 8th to blow one in Texas.
