These late games suck.

These late games suck.

Yep.

 

[Chris R]

Go Mariners! Wonder if the bar will be showing the game now that they aren't on a crazy ass losing streak.

WTF. I'm blacked out of this M's Rays game and it's not on any channel.

Not on Root?

 

[Original Famous Ray]

Dice-K with a solid effort out of the pen after Wheeler's garbage performance.

Yeah credit to him. Really held down the fort.

 

[rando14]

Another hard hit ball by Smoak that ends up not turning into a hit

 

[CygnusXS]

Shoot all of our position players into a volcano.

 

[see5harp]

These late games suck.

You know what sucks? Possibly letting Vogey have a career day on you.

 

[Syrinx]

Familia comes in with a six-run lead and walks Jeter on four pitches.

UGH.

 

[Windu]

Fuck it, put out an all-defense team and hope you can hold the opposing team to -1 runs.

You know what sucks? Possibly letting Vogey have a career day on you.

or you could fix your time zone.

 

[distantmantra]

Kuma is rocking it, tonight.

 

[Original Famous Ray]

Fuck is this fool Familia doing.

 

[Original Famous Ray]

oh god Valverde warming up.

 

[Original Famous Ray]

PUT IT IN THE BOOKS!


thank god

 

[Windu]

Braves blow the game wide open. 1-0.

 

[HarryDemeanor]

Is it possible to trade Crawford for Stanton mid-game?

 

[Mr. Enigma]

Fredi G said before the game that Pastornicky is now the everyday 2B.

Also, Braves are using a six-man rotation for the time being. Alex Wood returns to the rotation. David Hale stays in the bullpen.

stanton needs to come home

what is going on with hanley

 

[Mr. Enigma]

Also, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution beat writer said there is legitimate interest from the Blue Jays in Dan Uggla.

Please take him.

For a kit kat or milky way....send him on!

 

[CygnusXS]

Can't deal with the umps in these Giants series. Shit is out of hand.

 

[Mr. Enigma]

Tommy John claims another.

Astros reliever Jose Cisnero has a torn ligament and needs surgery.

When will the madness end?

Beckett is actually doing good. Did we promise him chicken and beer after the game?

 

[XiaNaphryz]

When will the madness end?

Probably when they stop having kids pitch all year.

http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/mlb/news/20140513/jose-fernandez-miami-marlins-injury/

Last month I wrote about how pitchers are damaged even before they sign pro contracts and before they get the kind of kid glove treatment Redmond referenced. I found that high school pitchers drafted among the top 30 picks from 2010-12 were five times more likely to blow out their elbows than top 30 high school picks from 2002-09. And if Fernandez needs Tommy John surgery, the incidence will grow to six times more likely, with 38 percent of elite high school draft picks getting Tommy John surgery before age 22 (six of 16).

What used to be an injury of attrition (Tommy John was 32 and had thrown more than 2,000 major league innings before his groundbreaking surgery) has become an injury of too much too soon -- too much velocity and too much stress. The average age of the 22 major league pitchers to need Tommy John surgery this year is just 23.4 years old.

Wait, it gets worse: A study out just this month in the Journal of the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons found that year-round play in the amateur market has contributed to a 10-fold increase in Tommy John surgeries for youth pitchers.

Geez Minor is on fire.

 

[CygnusXS]

Geez Minor is on fire.

He's no Vogelsong though.

 

[Meier]

My god, what is going on with Tommy Hunter?! He's not elite or anything but he started out so well.. last 4 outings have been a shambles.

 

[see5harp]

Man Buster is such a shitty defensive catcher since the injury. Such a bitch.

 

[Deadly Joker]

Jason Heyward is a wizard.

 

[Macattk15]

It is nice to have two legit #1 starters. Hopefully Taijuan Walker will someday make it 3.

 

[CygnusXS]

Jason Heyward is a wizard.

That was amazing to watch. Highlight of the season so far.

 

[alstein]

Man Buster is such a shitty defensive catcher since the injury. Such a bitch.

He blocks the plate, Heyward gets to run into him. Ask Nate McClouth and Tyler Pastornicky what that's like. Posey would be out another year.

 

[Deadly Joker]

That was amazing to watch. Highlight of the season so far.

Definitely. As a Braves fan, that was probably the most exciting play I've watched this season by this team.

 

[see5harp]

It's not about blocking the plate. It's about him bouncing balls to 2nd and being a shitty tagger.

 

[Deadly Joker]

It's about god damn time BJ.

 

[Mr. Enigma]

Please bolt the glasses on the B.J.'s head, please.

 

[Macattk15]

That was amazing to watch. Highlight of the season so far.

What happened? Hopefully they add it to the game highlights on mlb.com

 

[Kingbrave]

Small ball? What's this shit? I'm not used to seeing us score without knocking on out.

 

[CygnusXS]

I'm not sure what is happening. There's a 4 next to "ATL" can someone tell me what that means I haven't seen that before

 

[brianjones]

thats more like it

 

[HarryDemeanor]

HanRam lives!

A-Gon!

 

[CygnusXS]

The good guys won a point in the Heyward-Posey war.

 

[HarryDemeanor]

Offensive explosion. This is what I want to see.

 

[Macattk15]

The good guys won a point in the Heyward-Posey war.

Oh ok I saw that play at the plate. That is the highlight of your season so far? It was cool that he avoided the tag and all .... but there has to be better highlights with a 1st place team!

The amount of people with herpes is what I thought...

It's because I hate Posey with an intense passion.

 

[Macattk15]

Ah so it is how I feel about the entire A's team then. I understand.

 

[XiaNaphryz]

The good guys won a point in the Heyward-Posey war.

Now to catch up Heyward just needs to win a MVP, 2 WS rings, rookie of the y...oh wait.

 

[see5harp]

Redeem thyself Buster.

EDIT: welp. if they lose this, Buster should take some of those earned runs.
