The Mets on their recent flight to Houston decided to dress up ‘Western’ style. Why? In an effort to build chemistry and camraderie. According to ESPN the idea was brought up by the team veterans. Check out the pictures of the cowboys that they posted on twitter:

[GIF] http://thedugoutdoctors.com/2012/04/bryce-harper-or-kenny-powers-gif/ http://thedugoutdoctors.com/2012/04/bryce-harper-or-kenny-powers-gif/#comments Mon, 30 Apr 2012 01:28:02 +0000 admin http://thedugoutdoctors.com/?p=6529 April 30, 2012 – The Dugout Doctors

Is this guy really the future of the league? I hope he soon is a permanent fixture in the bigs. Classic helmet flip and crazy hair. Real life Kenny Powers in my books…

Plus, think about how great it would be if Bryce Harper turns out to be as good as they say he will be, and every time ESPN shows replays of his first career hit you get to see the guy directly behind him moon the camera!

The New York Yankees are involved in a strange battle with the official MLB ticket vendor StubHub over the price being set for tickets at Yankees games.

For those of you not familiar with StubHub the site allows fans to not only buy tickets, but also sell tickets to any of the MLB team games.

But for the past few years, the cheapest unwanted Yankee tickets have been reselling on StubHub at just a few dollars apiece, and sources say the team isn’t happy.

For instance, right now there are 7,184 tickets listed on StubHub for next Monday night’s game against the Baltimore Orioles, with prices starting at just $3 — less than the price of a beer.

If fans went to the Stadium box office or to Yankees.com, the team’s official site, those seats would cost $15.20 apiece.

The Yankees are threatening to end their participation in the MLB agreement with StubHub if the website doesn’t incorporate a minimum floor price on the Yankees tickets being sold. It sounds strange, given that the tickets wouldn’t be for sale that low if the market demand was higher, which is just a basic economic principle. However the Yankees real issue is that they are selling tickets on their website for $15 a pop, the same site where they currently have a link to StubHub as part of the MLB agreement where fans can get those same tickets for only a quarter of the price.

Understandable, but then again, memo to Yankees: Your ticket prices may just be ‘too damn high’….just like the rent.

Is this the worst, or at the very least most exaggerated, batting stance that you have ever seen. I realize its not in the bigs, but it’s still amazing to see this sort of thing. I’m thinking it’s even worse than the Craig Counsell stance…

Well looks like he’s not done quite yet folks. Hideki Matsui who has been training feverishly in NYC according to reports to get another crack at a rotation spot in the bigs. Looks like the Rays are going to sign him to a minor league contract and see how things go with his stroke.

The Rays are expected to sign designated hitter Hideki Matsui, Jack Curry of the YES Network reports (Twitter links). Matsui, who turns 38 in June, could sign a minor league contract with the Rays before long.

Matsui spent last year with the Athletics and posted a .251/.321/.375 line with 12 home runs and 28 doubles in 585 plate appearances. However, he finished strong, posting a .295/.353/.425 line in the second half. Matsui, a Wasserman Media Group client, has been preparing for the 2012 season in the New York area, according to Curry.

Tell me this scoop toss to first by Toronto Blue Jays Kelly Johnson isn’t one of the best plays of the early season thus far. C’mon, I dare ya!

LA Dodgers Matt Kemp has set the franchise record for number of home runs (9) through the first 15 games of a season. That is absolutely ridiculous when you think about it. Kemp is on a serious tear and Dodger fans are praying he keeps the pace throughout the season.

Matt Kemp set a franchise record for home runs through 15 games with his ninth of the season to back up a solid outing by Clayton Kershaw and the Los Angeles Dodgers got a 5-1 win over the Houston Astros on Saturday night.

Kemp’s two-run shot to center field in the sixth inning off Kyle Weiland (0-3) scored Dee Gordon, extending the lead to 3-0 and giving him a home run in three straight games. It also extended his major league-leading RBI total to 22 and his hitting streak to 10 games.
