Bartolo has to be 320 lbs

I love baseball but that stuff is petty and I simply hate it.

I concur.  Ya need base runners down that much but in the grand scheme of things he likely used the situation as real game action practice to do so later on.   A Natinal squared twice against the shift vs the reds

Didi Gregorious 4/4 2 HR and 8 RBI today

Brutal. He left 8 guys on base and Gregorious knocked all 8 of them in. Talk about picking up a teammate!

Stanton said it was Didi’s job as clean up hitter to pick up the trash in front of him.

As far as I'm concerned, you should be able to bunt anytime you want to and the opponents can just shut their mouths about it.  It's part of the game.

The biggest lol about the Twins thing is they were shifting. If you are gonna shift, NO WAY can you complain about a bunt. Just stop.

Yeah, this guy appears to be the real deal and batting him 8th is just stupid.

Maybe the reason he's off to the fast start is because he's hitting 8th, thus less pressure...also, it's only the first week of the season, and pitchers don't have their 'book' on him yet--so let's reserve canonizing this guy until at least the All Star break...good lord.

We’re you the one last year that growled and said Cody Bellinger would be headed back to the minor leagues.....but instead went on to hit 39 HR with an OPS+ of 141 and finished 9th in MVP race?....while missing the first month?

Ohtani may end up an average pitcher and sub par bench type hitter....but he’s showing special talents and repeating them. Right now he looks like Bryce Harper but also a potential ace pitcher. You can sit around and root for failure. I’m not calling him a HOF or an all-star, I know how it works....but also in a week he has shown elite power, contact, fastball and to go with it a great splitter, curve and near elite speed running.

Right now, he’s must watch.
