Porcello started off slow but got it going as the game progressed.

Yeah he settled in nicely. We need to get our starting pitching going.
Playing the Royals is a nice boost lol.

Holy shit, Homerun and to left field. Second ever to get 3,000 on a HR....congrats Jeter

Congratz to Derek Jeter for his 3,000th hit.

Derek Jeter is the first player to get 3,000 hits!!

we're never going to hear the end of that homer

 

[elcheato]

It's as if this is the first time someone has gotten 3,000 hits before. But he's a Yankee so of course the media coverage is going to over the top.

 

[Mexi]

im hoping for a perfect game today. or a 4 homer game
pads almost had a no-hitter, but they suck and dodgers won

 

[elcheato]

If someone got a no hitter today it would have a 30 second segment on ESPN lol

 

[elcheato]

But the 3,000 hits is still a great accomplishment. The Indians starting 9 today has a total of 3,464 hits in their careers.

i know
im not trying to hate on jeter
congrats to him

 

[RipCity32]

Well, I don't think Furbush is going to be the answer as the 5th starter.

Indians are still pitching to Jose Bautista and I'm still trying to figure out why.

28th guy to do it, still a major accomplishment

You have to average 200 hits over like 15 seasons to do it

Think Jeter would get the mega coverage regardless of what uniform he wore

Manny Acta, dumb as rocks... Chris Perez always does horrible when he is brought into tie games, so what does Manny Acta do? Puts him in, in a tie game, lets him pitch to the best hitter in baseball, and he hits a home run..
