Alreet bruvs just got back from work and had my tea, red sox game is on LIVE in an hour. Anything I need to know for my first live game? It's not advert city is it?
Okay boys, let's see em
>>67675619
Only about 2 minutes of ads between each half inning and a shorter break for pitching changes
>>67675632
Swap arod with Ortiz or Cruz and this is objectively the correct answer in May.
>>67675652
So no breaks during a half inning? I can live with that.
Anyone else watching the red sox game? What chance do they stand against superman's team?
>>67675685
There are zero breaks during a half-inning unless they change a pitcher out, no matter how long it takes.
And Royals v Red Sox will be a good game.
Royals are defending champs and Red Sox are on a hot streak.
>>67675685
Pretty good since the Red Sox are the best in the AL this year and the royals are a shell of their former selves
>>67675581
Anti-bat flip, anti-emotion, etc. is the most facebook-tier opinion in baseball. I could go on an ESPN comment section right now and find hundreds of casuals talking about "back in muh day players had respect." If anyone is a "normie" here, it's you.

But, nobody was called up prematurely. Velasquez won a pitching battle with Morgan for the 5th spot. Morton got hurt forcing Morgan or Sev to be called up. Hunter was hitting .088 prompting more playing time for Goedell. And the combination of Ruf hitting .165~ and Joseph hitting .350~ prompted a call up and send down. Crawford, Knapp, Quinn, Kingery, Alfaro, Eflin, Appel, Thompson, Eshelman, Kilome, Pivetta, Ascher, Lively, and everyone else of note is,still where they should be.

Question for phillies fans, would you rather have the Nats or Mets win today?
>>67681017
All but two of our roster spots are not filled by Rookies. One was called up less than a week ago, and one was a rule 5. It's not like they've played wtll through near two months, so Williams, Appel, Quinn, Crawford, Knapp, etc got called up early and played. And even farther against his point, we have guys like Burriss on the roster, when Sweeney could fill that spot better, yet we keep in in AAA so he can get regular playing time

As of 2010, 45% of Texas residents had Hispanic ancestry; these include recent immigrants from Mexico, Central America, and South America, as well as Tejanos, whose ancestors have lived in Texas as early as the 1700s. Tejanos are the largest ancestry group in southern Duval County and amongst the largest in and around Bexar County, including San Antonio, where over one million Hispanics live. The state has the second largest Hispanic population in the United States, behind California.
Hispanics dominate southern, south-central, and western Texas and form a significant portion of the residents in the cities of Dallas, Houston, and Austin. The Hispanic population contributes to Texas having a younger population than the American average, because Hispanic births have outnumbered non-Hispanic white births since the early 1990s. In 2007, for the first time since the early nineteenth century, Hispanics accounted for more than half of all births (50.2%), while non-Hispanic whites accounted for just 34%.
In 2016 the state had 59,115 persons of Cuban origin. 6,157 of them lived in Travis County.[7]
