the reds/cardinals game seems like it will start at some point, though it might not be for a few more hours.

Pitching in short sleeves with a game-time temperature of 34 degrees and a wild chill in the mid-20s, the lanky Sale said, "This was the most miserable I've ever been on a baseball field, by far, not even close."

Hey they played the New York game and it was 42 degrees so that was cool

Sale and Kershaw were both great today. I'm fascinated by the dominance of the big four--if not for Verlander's resurgence, the gap between them and everyone else just seems to get wider and wider.
Sale/Kershaw/Scherzer/Kluber collectively this year, including the two starts today:
98 IP61 H127 K16 BB16 ER1.47 ERA

kinda arbitrary endpoint but aaron judge is the first to 60 career homers (197 games, beating mark mcgwires 202).
also i just tuned in to the LAD/SDP game and they were saying that christian villanueva was one of the fastest ever players to 9 career HRs. just after that he hit his 10th.

KJansen seems like he's lost his way. He owes his Taylor dinner for stealing that HR away from Villanueva, would've been another BS.

He hit 11 of his 31 HRs in April last year.
― Jersey Al (Albert R. Broccoli), Wednesday, 18 April 2018 19:30 (six years ago) link
That could not be worded more horribly, let's try again:
he hit 31 HRs in 2017, 11 in April.
― Jersey Al (Albert R. Broccoli), Wednesday, 18 April 2018 19:31 (six years ago) link
yea that 11 was an April record for Milwaukee
kind of assumed MLB pitching had figured him out but the fact that he's wildin' out this year so far is encouraging
mostly I just love that they play his Korean HR song whenever he bombs one
― frogbs, Wednesday, 18 April 2018 19:33 (six years ago) link
he has more HRs (7) than singles, doubles, and triples combined (5)

Just discovered MLB Game Changer, which will switch between games on MLB.tv based on your Priority List. Players, teams, Leverage Index, active No-Hitters, even when a position player is pitching! Was watching my fantasy pitcher Sale, and while he was sitting watched both the Brewers and Braves walk off, then it switched back to Sale all while i'm fartin around doing other stuff

Definitely needs a bit of polishing, hopefully they add things like that. The issues I have are it not staying fullscreen/unmuting between changes, but it's pretty easy to work around.

ST. LOUIS (AP) - Cardinals center fielder Tommy Pham was removed from St. Louis’ game against the New York Mets on Wednesday night in the bottom of the third inning due to a head injury sustained earlier in the day.Pham got a cut on his head before the game when he accidentally hit himself in the indoor batting cage.Pham, who has been battling hamstring issues, missed games on Saturday and Sunday against Cincinnati. He returned to the lineup Monday and went 3 for 3 with a home run and two RBIs in a 6-5 loss to the Mets.Pham hit a fly ball to right field in the first inning.

Pham injured himself in the batting cage when a “hitting contraption” of his design snapped the bat barrel back and caught him in the head. “Blood started gushing. I need to get that fixed,” he says. https://t.co/5gbneoZoND— Derrick Goold (@dgoold) April 26, 2018
