He looks A LOT like him. I've seen Jeff several times at athletic events of his kids as my school has played against his kids several times. Shaw looks like he could still pitch, especially for the Reds.Heretic;1794469 wrote:When I heard he was from WCH, I was wondering if he was related to Jeff Shaw.
To show my age I played high school baseball against Travis Shaw's college coach.

King Felix will be right there. Without the walks (which are unusual), Felix is blowing the rest of MLB out of the water. 1.13 WHIP and he's 3rd in MLB in walks. Crazy.

It's just so early. Look where Arrieta came from last year to win it.

Beltran easy
I think David Wright
My other guess would be Hanley but not sure on his HR total. Matt Kemp probably close.

Had the first two. David Wright was correct.Ironman92;1794905 wrote:Arod is easy

Rollins was the last one.
I had those first two, but for whatever reason I doubted AROD only because he just went onto the DL and his said four ACTIVE players......if it was worded 4 current players then I would have been confident in AROD but Stark has a way of working a question that can eliminate an obvious answer

Rollins appeared to have hit his 230th recently. He was obviously key to the question.
Hanley only 213 HR

Well, it was a good run, but I figured Jordy Mercer wouldn't have the longest homer of the year for all that long, lol.Ironman92;1795098 wrote:Holy Hell....basically a line drive 475 ft HR to CF. bring on the StatCast for this insane HR

I was very pleasantly surprised by his debut last night. Especially after batting .150 over about a three-week rehab assignment in Indy, to come back and blast two in one game wasn't what I was expecting.Ironman92;1795134 wrote:Kang may give it a run...love his bat

Harper gets tossed from the dugout on a horrible call and next batter hits a walk off HR and Harper races out and celebrates and gives the ump and fired up "F U" lol...it'll be talked about. Good stuff for the rabbit ear ump

Good ole rabbit ears! I saw it this morning.....and the pitch to Harper and the one to the other hitter where Harper chirped and got tossed were actually strikes according to the K zone. Harpers looked terrible because of how it was caught and the catcher moving to throw out the runner.Ironman92;1795315 wrote:Harper gets tossed from the dugout on a horrible call and next batter hits a walk off HR and Harper races out and celebrates and gives the ump and fired up "F U" lol...it'll be talked about.

Max Scherzer...damn he can put together games of a lifetime more often than about anyone. His "on" is about as dominating as you can get.

I saw a lot of sports media on Twitter not happy with Harper being suspended. Admittedly, I don't know a ton about baseball, so what am I missing? You cuss out the umpire (and the camera catches you) after being tossed, haven't you earned a suspension? And since he was tossed, why was he still in the dugout? Had he just not made it back to the locker room before the walk-off?

I don't think swearing at an ump/ref/official is suspension worthy. A fine? Sure. But he didn't attack the guy, he just yelled at him.

Didn't see or hear what Harper said but....Was it any worse than Big Papi going after an ump a few days ago? Did he get suspended?

he ran out with teammates. Broke off the celebration, pointed at umpire and said, "Hey! Fuck you!", then went back to celebrating.sportswizuhrd;1795590 wrote:Didn't see or hear what Harper said but....Was it any worse than Big Papi going after an ump a few days ago? Did he get suspended?

Manager Dusty was tossed also but the walk off HR was literally 1 minute after ejection. Harper hadn't made it far from dugout and Dusty still in sight.friendfromlowry;1795546 wrote:I saw a lot of sports media on Twitter not happy with Harper being suspended.

I'd like the rabbit ear ump to be fined. They get paid plenty of coin....one thing being yelled from the dugout shouldn't result in an ejection.

It was hilarious to watch live as MLB Network was currently showing it and those guys were going crazy with it.Laley23;1795596 wrote:he ran out with teammates. Broke off the celebration, pointed at umpire and said, "Hey! Fuck you!", then went back to celebrating.
It wasn't exactly Bill Cowher stuffing proof of a missed calls own the ref's shirt but it was great tv for a few intense seconds.
