It's a beaut man. I remember going when I was a kid for a camp trip and our nosebleeds got nosebleeds but the view of the scenery was awesome.

Wait, you work for the Sea Dogs? ... There's another Nt'er in Portland???

 

[jumpmanfromdabay]

Last year when Yankees were in town I went down to the field to grab something and I walked by ARod hitting in the cages

 

[jumpmanfromdabay]

Jake Peavy has to go

 

[johnnyredstorm]

Remember when the Mets offense was trash

Have some family in Portland.. Saw the park but no game when we were there. Cool

 

[johnnyredstorm]

Home runs for days with this mets team

It's a cool stadium... Really good seating and the mini monster is awesome... And good cheap beer ..

Pirates pitching has been an absolute joke this season.

I have been a Sonny Gray fan from the jump....but my coworkers and people I know who are A's fans are making it very difficult to continue to be.  They keep calling him one of the best pitchers in baseball, and all I can do is laugh.  Sonny is good.  But please pump the breaks A's fans.  He is barely a top 25 pitcher.

Why ask what you typed? You typed it

Kershaw
Sale
Arrieta
Price
Bumgarner
Thor
deGrom
Cole
Greinke
Archer
Scherzer
King Felix
Keuchel

A little hard pressed to name many more pitchers better than Gray. I put him in the Lester, Strasburg, Harvey, Kluber tier.

 

[dland24]

Because I fail to see how what I said was as ridiculous as your Bumgarner comparison.

1. Clayton Kershaw
2. Zack Greinke
3. Madison Bumgarner
4. Johnny Cueto
5. Gerrit Cole
6. Jake Arrieta
7. Jon Lester
8. Jose Fernandez
9. Jacob deGrom
10. Matt Harvey
11. Noah Syndergaard
12. Max Scherzer
13. Stephen Strasburg
14. Dallas Keuchel
15. Felix Hernandez
16. Corey Kluber
17. Chris Sale
18. Chris Archer
19. Marcus Stroman
20. David Price

I would take every one of these pitchers over Sonny Gray currently.

 

[checks grossman]

Every time I look up a starter is getting pulled in the 5th. Gerrit Cole control issues-R-us. BP getting worked into the ground early, I feel. Still like Melancon and you've got to like what you're seeing with the bats. Everybody hitting .333 it seems. 

 

@dland24  with a fresh out the oven hot take.
