Lee Smith and Goose Gossage were the first of the hard throwing relief pitchers of that era.

I'd have a lot easier of a time rooting for the Blues if their fans weren't Cards fans
You could imagine they're just a small faction of Cards fans who aren't entirely insufferable.

Whereas, with Bruins fans...

Awful
Yes, it is. :( And I still miss him terribly.

The local media coverage is like 2017 Letang's neck x 1,000.

Looks like Keuchel overplayed his had all offseason.

I imagine every team would be willing to give him that contract, Keuchel likely chose to go to Atlanta.

Developing: Former Red Sox DH David Ortiz has been shot in Dominican Republic according to a friend. Nothing official yet. No the news to report.

I’ve never understood why MLBers go back to the DR.

With all of the tourist deaths there recently, I am thinking no one should go there.

The allure of home is strong, but yeah, it's a crime-ridden shthole. Not ideal.

Deadspin recently had a 20 year anniversary look back to that time Bobby Valentine tried to sneak back in the dugout in disguise. TIL that Hugo Chavez threw out the first pitch at Shea that day.

Three things were widely reported in the immediate aftermath of the incident Sunday night that turned out to be incorrect: that Ortiz was shot in the leg; that Ortiz was shot during a robbery attempt; and that the shooter was a man named Feliz Garcia, who was arrested Sunday night sometime after he was recorded on video being severely beaten by Ortiz fans. Turns out Ortiz was shot in the back by a man police have since identified as Rolfy Ferreyra, and police now depict the shooting as a botched assassination attempt coordinated by somewhere between six and ten co-conspirators. Surveillance video of the attack shows a man walking up behind a seated Ortiz, shooting him once in the back, and then freezing in place for a moment, before taking off on foot.

Police in the Dominican Republic say they’ve arrested Ferreyra, Garcia, and four other suspects, whose efforts were allegedly coordinated by an individual who was paid about the equivalent of $7,800 to mastermind the job, and who is among those in police custody. Cops say Garcia was driving the getaway motorcycle, which he apparently crashed or abandoned near enough to the scene for witnesses to circle him and brutally stomp him in the street. The hunt is reportedly still on for a group of people Ferreyra and Garcia were apparently seen on surveillance footage talking to immediately before the shooting.

yeah the video I saw looked more like a hit than a robbery. He was just sitting at a table and someone walks up behind him and shoots.

Makes you wonder if Big Papi got mixed up in something he shouldn't have.

Out of the loop, is he still pitching or have they moved him to position only since he was having elbow issues last year (I think)?

Came back in in early May and has only been DHing. Should start throwing off a mound before the ASB but won't pitch this season. Started slow but is up to 281/350/512/863 on the season.
