I guess you gotta take what you can get.

It's something.

Free runs!

 

[brianjones]

lol damn white sox this inning should have been over 15 minutes ago

 

[HarryDemeanor]

Gee, thanks Sox.

 

[rando14]

Lol not a single run is earned, either

 

[zroid]

Hello Kitty bobbleheads?

This is when you know the bobblehead gimmick has gone too far

 

[jakncoke]

No hitter gone.

oh ffs this is stupid

 

[HarryDemeanor]

I wish I could hear Hawk during that meltdown inning.

 

[jakncoke]

I swear we've been bases loaded like every inning now and just 4 runs.

edit: 5th bases loaded, we better get at least 1 run ffs . be sad to have more bases loaded than runs

edit; I like runs

 

[Mr. Enigma]

Man, who is the Dodgers' announcer? He's sleep-inducing.

 

[harSon]

I really dislike our bullpen at times.

Also, I swear even when our pitchers pitch well, they somehow only last 5 innings.

 

[sf2fanatic]

I wish I could hear Hawk during that meltdown inning.

Nah you don't want to. It's like listening to Michael Cole. No bueno.


On a different note Justin Turner has been playing great defense at third. Coming back home and playing for L.A. is helping him feel comfortable

The Jays store at SkyDome has a whole bunch of Hello Kitty Jays merch.....pretty sure several teams do

Gotta grow the fanbase somehow

Up here they compared it to the Jays clothing at Pink (Victoria Secret's other store)

I would just like to experience it. Most likely it would just be dead air.

Interesting.

 

[tarzanpuyol]

hello - first time posting in this thread, but long time lurker

anyways need some advice, would you guys drop Alcides Escobar for Singleton, keep in mind I have Solarte as well as Andrus so position wise is pretty well covered, but I have a feeling Escobar will have a tremendous year.

Also I am not sure if Solartes power will keep up, we have seen him slow down the past week.

I'm not one to backseat mod, but this should be lifetime ban-worthy.

...

Seriously, though, read this profile of Vin Scully. It's long, but such a great read. He's easily the greatest baseball announcer of all time, and the fact he's still doing it -- and doing it well -- is incredible.

This is your gif for at least the rest of the season:

At least keep it contemporary!

Haha, I saw that. Yeah, I'm afraid I'll be using that one some more soon enough.

Ryne Sandberg has not proven himself to be a particularly astute tactician.

He has been terrible so far. The other day he had them pitch to the #8 hitter with a runner in scoring position rather then walk him and face the pitcher, or course the guy got a hit and drove in a run for the Mets which caused the game to go to extra innings and then the Phils lost. His tactical mistakes arnt even the biggest problem, he is just to soft spoken. The other day when Dom didnt hustle it was Utley who got in his face. That is the managers fucking job. At the deadline trade everyone, then in the offseason fire the manager and bring in a firey guy to manage all the young guys next year.

well this is factually true

How can you not like Vin? The Dodgers games are on the radio in vegas and I will always put them on when I am in the car just because I love to hear him call a game.

Oh gosh, the risk of falling asleep at the wheel must be terrifying.

 

[Mr. Enigma]

The Orioles have purchased the contract of Johan Santana and placed him on the 15-day DL. Santana would have been able to opt out of his contract if the Orioles did not place him on the 40-man roster by midnight tonight. He informed he was going to opt out, and the Orioles decided to purchase his contract.

The Phillies have signed Jason Marquis to a minor league deal. Marquis is still recovering from Tommy John surgery in July 2013 and should be ready to pitch in July or August.

 

[jakncoke]

wow TIL you can trade players to another team for some of their international cap room. baseball is really fucked in the head

lol international cap. Most teams are just straight up ignoring it.

Red Sox promoted Mookie Betts to AAA. One step closer to the bigs.

Matt Williams will likely be available.

 

[XiaNaphryz]

Matt Vasgersian was on the local AM sports radio morning show talking about MLB Network and how the Mets and Nationals get way too much coverage on their network due to too many Mets apologists in the building and the hype machine around Harper and Strasburg.

 

[HarryDemeanor]

Yasiel Puig is leading the NL outfield votes for the All-Star Game. There is a god.

 

[yankeehater]

Matt Williams will likely be available.

I havent followed the Nats much this year, is he getting the blame for them sucking so much?

He doesn't seem to be making friends, that's for sure.

Workman gets six game ban for not hitting a All Star third baseman with a baseball.

Cancer Rays get zero games for embarrassing themselves.

If Atlanta doesn't win today's game with this pitching match-up, I may not watch baseball again for a month.

Huh, I wonder who's pitching for us today...

Starting Pitchers
Seattle: Ramirez (1-4, 6.00 ERA)

we will be 2 hit shut out. believe.

 

[evil solrac v3.0]

after last night's game I don't understand what it is that the Yankee plan is.
they said they wanted to "cut" payroll yet they added a few hundred more or whatever it was in the off-season.
they gave out that ridiculous extension to CC(and A-Rod and TEx and, etc) on the wrong side of 30 and have a host of other injuries that expose their bench and their farm system. Tanaka was a nice signing...... but what then?
so they won't rebuild, but they can't reload through free agency. theya re in limbo and with no solid plans other than wait for another good free agent class?

Astros/Angels game is the MLB free game of the day so y'all can watch Springleton in all its glory.

 

[Xater]

This was intentional? It is a ball right?

I voted for him.

How come Nelson Cruz isn't on the ballot?

No eephus for us anymore

 

[Xater]

I don't know. I just voted for Puig because he seems to be determined to kill himself while catching a ball.
