Rays baseball never starts until July. They were buried early on and after tonight may only be 4 back of New York for best record in the AL. The wild card races are going to be exciting.

Giancarlo Stanton just hit an 802 foot homer.

The pitch before he scared the fuck out of people about 400 feet away but 50 feet foul.....next pitch may have been the most no-doubter HR I have ever seen.

Being able to rewind the tv is just priceless. I must've watched it 15 times.

Extras we go.... I live in a weird area where I get pittsburgh, nationals, Philli, and Baltimore games. It is kind of nice though especially when the Indians are out of it by this time every year.

Stanton just hit another HR....my God.


Haven't seen a highlight...under 480 will be disappointing and somewhat surprising.

It was a weak-sauce no doubter....only about 25 rows over the fence and somewhat majestic

Stantons 1st HR only at 442. I was expecting more, after reading I92 lol. But yeah, what a shot. That estimate has to be short. But I dont think it was as long as his CF shot that was like 490 something.

Got a lick in the 6th and they pulled him. Still, he was filthy through 5.
Nats hang on and win 4-1, improving their lead to 7, and to a ML best 76 wins. This is a fun team to watch.
Nats are 10-4 against the Braves.

The Nats may be doing the rest of the majors a favor by shutting him down.
