Atlanta isn't trying to be good this year. They're looking at 2018.

I wish they'd play a series against each other so at least one of them would record a win...

Sadly the Twins are actually trying to win this season, I think.

wonder what their attendance numbers will look like in a few months

**EmpireMaker** · 04-14-16, 12:48 AM

Scored runs 2016 (through 8 games)

Twins 13
Mets 20
Braves 22

Absolutely pitiful !!!

**oiler** · 04-14-16, 05:59 AM

don't see the twins getting any better

**Otters27** · 04-14-16, 06:57 AM

Wonder what the 90s Braves would think about todays team

**LT Profits** · 04-14-16, 07:15 AM

I am actually on the Over 8.5 in the Twins game Thursday.

**koz-man** · 04-14-16, 02:06 PM

Which MLB team never threw a no-hitter?

**koz-man** · 04-14-16, 02:52 PM

The Padres are 1st team in MLB history to be shut out 5 times in first 10 games of the season.

They'd realize that it's 1988 or 89. Better to be awful than mediocre.

**mr. leisure** · 04-14-16, 11:08 PM

Atl. and Minn. still sucking and the cubs still kicking ass .

**BigSpoon** · 04-14-16, 11:38 PM

Minnesota is now 0-9. I'm just going to leave this here.

This is a fukking classic, BigSpoon!

What's wrong with Chris Archer? Leaving off where he did in his last handful of games last year.

He's no good right now, fade or skip only, until he proves differently.

Like the Cubs need another boost. I'm intrigued with what Baez will do in a utility role.

The Cubs are planning to activate Javier Baez (thumb) from the disabled list on Friday.

Munenori Kawasaki will be sent down in the corresponding roster move. Baez hit .267 with a home run in four rehab games for Triple-A Iowa. The 23-year-old played three different positions during his rehab assignment and should help the Cubs in a utility role this year.

**oiler** · 04-15-16, 05:26 AM

baez will defintly be abig plu fr a lieup thts producing runs so far

**LT Profits** · 04-15-16, 05:32 AM

I like Baez a lot, guy plays so many positions without really sucking at any of them and he swings a nice stick.

big fan of Kawasaki interviews here

Of last 50 MVPs;
Donaldson, Pujols & Bonds are only ones to hit at least 5 HR within 1st 10 games of following year.

**Shortstop** · 04-15-16, 06:36 PM

Whatever happened to Kosuke Fukudome!

**Shortstop** · 04-15-16, 11:48 PM

Congrats to both the Braves and Twins for finally getting into the Win Column!

**EmpireMaker** · 04-15-16, 11:49 PM

Atlanta finally won a game, with a late game comeback.

**BarkingToad** · 04-16-16, 04:24 AM

Cardinals have 5 pitch hit home runs already this season.

Like Donaldson to have another solid year with all that protection in the lineup

Big Papi steals a base (yes, really)

David Ortiz steals second during Boston's win over Toronto, the first base he has stolen since 2013.

Jackie Robinson #42 inspired him! (Oh, and nobody covered second...lol)

**Chi_archie** · 04-16-16, 08:49 AM

no fielder's indifference?

No, it was the seventh inning and Boston had the lead. They usually only rule indifference if the team that takes second base is losing by more than one run in the ninth inning, where the run literally means nothing.

Minnesota players did not appreciate my trolling yesterday.
