I read on twitter yesterday that Glass bought 700+ rings. ****ing cheap ass owner

If you thought this place was full of despair, take a stroll through MetsRefugees, there's a near consensus that this is a "loser's ring" celebrating a second place finish.

Perhaps I'm misremembering, but I thought the rings and banner were well received here in 2015.

Speaking of rings.

But this team lets the players be who they are. Sometimes that doesn't work (Game 7 of the 2014 World Series), but more often than not it has (2014 & 2015 playoffs).

Speaking of former Royals, I feel for BGJ. Though his Padres came close today, they still haven't scored a run this season (What a way to kick off their home opening series).

I remember (or misremember) Ms telling Griffey to stop crashing into walls because it just wasn't worth it.

Beautiful rings guys congratulations!

The Twins just finished getting swept by Baltimore. They're 0-3. They're going to come in tomorrow ticked. Ned better be ready.

Sox took 3 of 4 in Choketown. Nice start vs a shitty team.

He's a great defender but his bat has improved so much he's a legit 3 hitter. Is it worth going after these balls? Can we lose him for a month?

Last year there were only 2 players +15 runs offensively and defensively (you can guess one). He is an elite defender but it's ok to let some of these go

Statcast breaks down how rare Lorenzo Cain’s dazzling catch was against the Mets

Even when he’s having a rough day, Royals center fielder Lorenzo Cain still manages to make a big play.

During the Royals’ 2-0 loss to the Mets on Tuesday, Cain lost a ball in the afternoon sun and admitted it was a challenging day. Yet, Cain made a sensational grab on ball hit by Michael Conforto in the second inning. Cain’s route to the ball was nearly perfect and he ended up running into the outfield wall.

Here is the breakdown from Statcast:

Cain covered 92.6 feet and reached a top speed for 21.6 mph. According to MLB.com, a catch that combined at least 90 feet covered and a speed of at least 21 mph occurred just 25 times during the entire 2015 season. MLB noted that Cain made three of those catches last season, which tied with Detroit’s Anthony Gose for the most in the majors.

I’ll just say this: I love Statcast

Schwarber and Fowler collide in outfield. Fowler smashed right into Schwarber's leg.

Schwarber carted off.

Yeah that was scary and yet funny at the same time. Plus, always cool to see an inside the parker. Schwarber really has no business playing the OF

To clarify, Schwarber's bull in a china shop going after the ball was funny. Not his injury

He's legit awful out there.

Need to get to some games there this year.
