Speaking of big man hitting ball and making big boom, Vladimir Guerrero Jr. had himself a huge night hitting two homers (a grand slam and a solo) off of Max Scherzer, and then a two-run homer later en route to a 7 RBI game in a 9-5 Toronto victory over Washington.

Yankees fans give the Astros and especially that little weasel Altuve the warm welcome they deserve




I love how you could hear the "fuck Altuve" chants even on the ESPN broadcast. Hope the Disney execs trying to promote their newest shitty clone wars cartoon enjoyed that one.
I was only able to catch the last three innings or so, but from what I saw, the jeering was reserved for the core guys from 2019 (Altuve, Correa, Bregman, Gurriel). That's a solid contrast from what I've seen from other away games when guys like Brantley and Jason Castro were getting equally booed despite having nothing at all to do with the cheating.

Also John Means of Baltimore is three outs away from a no-hitter against Seattle.

Edit: He got it! The only thing that kept it from a perfect game was a strikeout-wild pitch.

He got it. Announcer said it's the first no-hitter for the O's in 30 years, and the first complete game no hitter since 1969. I have no idea what that means, aren't all no hitters complete games?

They must have used the bullpen in their last one. The Baltimore commentators just said the 1991 no-hitter used four pitchers.

I tried to watch the end of the no-hitter game, but MLB.tv is a piece of shit platform and wouldn't load the game (even though this was supposed to be the free game of the day). Seems like Buffstreamz is dead which I also tried to use.

Good for John Means and the Orioles for getting his no-hitter.

That's three (or four) no-hitters in the first month of the season. Reminds me of about ten years ago when we were getting perfect games nearly every year.
Ha, your comment reminded me of Armando Gallaraga's stolen perfect game that happened during that same period. I'd forgotten how genuinely remorseful Jim Joyce was about botching the call.

Batting averages are down across the league too. When MLB said they were going to deaden the ball they weren't kidding.

The Angels have finally bit the bullet and designated Albert Pujols for assignment. Not sure if it's going to be the end for him or not once they release him. He's 29 homers behind A-Rod for 4th on the all-time home run list, but he'll be 42 when the 2022 Spring Training season starts and he's unlikely to be getting a lot of at-bats even if he latches on somewhere else here quickly in 2021.

Oh and Willie Mays turns 90 years old today.

I use bilasport.net for streams. It's pretty reliable.

Pujols HAS to get a few ABs for the Cardinals when the rosters expand in September.

That would be cool but I just can't see that happening if the Cardinals are in playoff contention at that point (which I think they're likely to be especially since it's really just a four team race at best in the NL Central.) Last year is when they introduced the rule to reduce the expanded September rosters from 40 down 28 (although they did allow 30 because of the shortened season).

Oh crap I totally forgot about the new restrictions on September callups. Yeah he may not ever play again.

I can see him signing with some dogshit team just to get his dingers, especially if the Angels end up paying most of his salary. You're right, though, nobody's probably going to want him.
