Who is Marp?

 

[Alsacs]

Who is Marp?

He is a Cardinals fan and it’s Matt Carpenter.

Braves head to Miami tonight. Conveniently Urena decided to take his suspension now. I bet there is still some fireworks.

So exactly what would the McCarthy salad be????

Yeah let's just read a whole scouting report between each hitter.

Batting coaches need to start earning their money it appears but I think a lot of it has to do with specialized relievers and more bullpen use which leads to fresher pitchers later in the game.

I don''t know why teams try to put off Tommy John surgery. It always leads to it eventually. Just get it done and get the rehab process started.

And the shift.

 

[MSOrange]

And the shift.

Good point. That's probably the biggest reason.

Not MLB, but I can’t stop watching this. Hilarious.

Dingers, taters, jacks, salami and went yard, are fun. But I'm not too sure about some of the rest. Oppo boppo?
At least "He gone" didn't make the list.

5 years to the day of the last division championship, the Atlanta Braves are NL East Champions again! It's playoff time again!

I like all homer commentators that add something different to the broadcasts. In small doses of course.

I think his announcing style added onto it with Hawk for me after I read his first autobiography. I have never read someone that was so full of himself.

I love this commercial ...

The Phillies are basically laying down for the Rockies, meanwhile the Dodgers have to deal with the rival DBacks and Giants who would love nothing more than to ruin it for us.

SMH. The Dodgers just wiped the Rockies out head to head...and the Rockies haven’t lost since because they’ve been fortunate to play gutless teams that have quit.

I can get onboard with deGrom for Cy Young. I think that's a no brainer. Not sure about MVP though. Writer has a good argument but I'd have to think about that one.
