Its a 1 run game in 5th inning...Some of you guys are absolutely ridiculous.

That Mike Trout stat about Fenway is absurd. I would've never guessed that. That being said, with how much DOB and everyone is talking about it, he'll probably go yard tonight.

I have always been a huge Brandon Phillips fan. I'm not sure how much he has left in the tank, but It would be awesome to see him not only on the MLB roster, but do well.

Please no more Josh Rutledge. I've had enough of him in my life.

I don't understand the obsession with trading him. If we trade him in middle of the season, who are we getting and who is starting in outfield thats a better option?

JBJ having himself a hell of a game. I like seeing him get hot.

Nobody plays defense anymore? More like the rules make it harder to play defense, and there is just way more talent in the league than ever before. Big men alone in today's league have so much talent and different skill set that is ridiculous. Andre Drummond, Clint Capela, Dwight Howard, Rudy Gobert, Nikola Jokic, Demarcus Cousins, LMA, Anthony Davis, KAT, Blake Griffin, Deandre Jordan, Marc Gasol, Kevin Love, Joel Embiid, Steven Adams, Porzingis, Horford, Whiteside, Kanter, etc. Russell is great, and has great stats sure, but you are literally comparing a time with 10 teams in the league, where the Celtics were beyond stacked with hall of famers, to a league where there is 30 teams, with much more talent and a changed game. Bill Russells lack of offensive talent would be taken advantage of in todays game. There is a reason someone like Ben Wallace wasn't a star.Bill This is why comparing these eras is nearly impossible and pretty pointless. You will never convince me that Bill Russell and his mid 40's shooting %'s are the greatest player of all time, and I'm not going to convince you Duncan, Shaq and etc are better.

Been a very good start from Price tonight.

I mean he has 10 homers in 265 games.. Not sure that's what I'd call "pop".

Speaking of Chris Davis, that beast has struck out 2 more times tonight and is down to .147 average for the season. Great signing Orioles.

There's also offense, the most important part of the game. He was bigger and more athletic than most players back then, and still only shot 44% from the field for his career.

Its been long overdue, but Jackie Bradley Jr is finally catching fire. He's been hitting ball extremely hard this month, its nice to see some rewards for him.

Could've been much worse... Thankfully Pujols has the speed of a rock.

Was also hurt a lot. I didn't mind him overall, he was decent 4th OF. Also, come on Price.

I don't think the Cubs are even entertaining offers for Baez. He's one of best young position players in the MLB.

Looks like JBJ is getting hot.

Mookie! What a start to the game.

Well that was a very good very quick inning from Price.

I like this idea as well, I'm interested.

I personally have Kareem and Shaq over Duncan (I just think they were more dominant players in their primes), but I can see the argument for Duncan and he gets severely underrated as an all time great most the time in these "GOAT" discussions.

I was only talking about his NBA career, not his college career. He's definitely in the top 10, but there is no way I even have him near the conversation as top 2 with Jordan/Lebron. There is more to the game than rings especially in the difference of eras. Obviously all these lists are just opinions. Also I wasn't trying to minimize the off the court ******** he had to deal with at the time, that wasn't my point about his era.

I mean I don't disagree with some of the points, and don't really get caught up in the Jordan/Lebron debates, they're both great players, and are 1 and 2 all time for me, but I don't think the competition was better during Jordan's time. He made the playoffs one year going 30-52, and Lebron in the finals is playing one of the greatest dynasties of all time, a team that is so stacked that it has arguably the two greatest shooters of all time, a multi time scoring champ/MVP in Kevin Durant, arguably the best defensive player in the league Draymond, and this isn't even accounting for their incredibly stacked bench. Andre Iguodala is their 6th man and he is a multi time all star and won a finals MVP for this team. Plus this era has had the Lakers dynasty with Kobe, Duncan/Pop Spurs, big three Celtics, etc.

Russell also played in an era where there was only what? 10 teams? Plus he was on a dynasty Celtics team that had 8 hall of famers. The league had weird s*** going on back then. There was a guy averaging 50 PPG and 25+ RPG in seasons... I don't even know how you can legit argue Russell over Lebron and Jordan. I know its different eras, but lets be real now.

I've been watching a lot of his AB's lately and he's had just horrendous luck. He's been hitting the ball very hard, but every time he either gets robbed, or at its right at someone. I'm still confident in JBJ.

Hanley was designated for assignment before any of this happened.
