    May MLB Game Thread

    When "actual hit people" are usually nailed in retaliation, they get awarded a base. Where's Utley's reward for Thor not actually not being able to plunk him? Or was the miss by Thor just a weak ass effort intended to send a 8 month old message? It's going to cost Thor and his manager a game...

    It was a 99 MPH fastball. Some message.

    Just a fluke it was Utley? Maybe a breaking ball slipped? No and no.

    Holt to concussion DL and Smith to DL. Swihart and Noe Ramirez recalled.

    I get all that and agree. What puzzles me that almost every prospect "expert" I read pre-season still considered him the best catching prospect in the game coming out of spring training. What happened in April to have the Red Sox sour on his catching so much?

    Holt to concussion DL and Smith to DL. Swihart and Noe Ramirez recalled.

    And if Hannigan gets injured, who catches the cover for catching Wright? CV never gets the call to catch the knuckler and Blake's now one of a group of part time LF bats. Leon? Butler? If they truly are in GFIN they need viable 3rd catcher, not some part time AAA guy who can't catch one of the...

    Another IBB for Harper from the Cubs in the 10th with runners on 1st/2nd and 2 out. 11 consecutive AB's without an actual at bat being recorded. And it pays off for Madden.

    Tottenham 2015-16: We don't even have a clever title

    I hope they show more discipline in Europe. The refereeing is less forgiving. 9 yellow cards, 3 of which could have been straight red. Off the ball kick by Walker, a stamp by Lallana on Fabregas and a blatant eye gouge on Costas by Dembele. And Pochettino at one point seemed to think it was a...

    Marco Hernandez and Christian Vazquez recalled, Swihart to AAA

    How's Swihart going to improve his catching of the knuckleball at AAA? And do we know that the CV can handle the knuckler? He seems to be protected from having to catch Wright's starts.

    Marco Hernandez and Christian Vazquez recalled, Swihart to AAA

    And if turns out Swihart can't play the outfield, then what? Isn't his potential value trashed? Not good enough to be a starting catcher or outfielder? What's that worth in a trade? If Hernandez turns out to be a serviceable outfielder, where does he fit? There is also Castilo who is already a...

    That his surname isn't Neville helped. And he's a personal friend of Alex.
