Braves:Strausburg::John Lannan:Braves

Spoiler

That's correct. Think about it.

WHY IS SIMMONS BUNTING?!?!?!?!

 

[ViperVisor]

Strasburg ain't shit

Numbers aren't as bad as it seems. But .345 BABIP FTW

 

[Talon]

Oh, sure, now just keep missing the strike zone, Julio.

 

[jello44]

Get two guys on base, have nothing to show for it.

[Talon]

Joe Simpson, I did not miss you.

 

[ReturnOfTheRAT]

HA

 

[Talon]

Damn good throw, BJ!

Even better reach by Doumit.

 

[ReturnOfTheRAT]

GJ Julio.

 

[Sir Alemeth]

Had to do some yard work. Nice to come back and see the Giants held on to win!!

MadBum's first win! Niiiiiice!!!!!!

 

[CygnusXS]

Sigh, why is Julio still out there?

 

[CygnusXS]

Great day for Freeman.

 

[Carpe Libertatem]

Jhonny Peralta has more home runs this week than Pete Kozma hit in 2013.

 

[carlos]

Great day for Freeman.

Yeah, to think I was worried that his extension would cause him to get lazy or decline like most other braves signings; the guy seems to be getting even better.

Now it's just a matter of him staying healthy for the duration of the contract.

 

[unknownstranger]

Damn good throw, BJ!

Even better reach by Doumit.

Doumit's mom was one of my teacher's. About the only decent player in anything pro from here.

 

[DUFFMCWALIN]

Now that was a nice win.

 

[Talon]

Sigh, why is Julio still out there?

Used up 5 relievers last night, didn't we?

[Malvingt2]

I hope the braves get the sweep tomorrow

 

[ReturnOfTheRAT]

13 hits, only 2 runs given up and no homers in a win.

Ugh, some kid is constantly chanting "let's go Red Sox, let's go" on the NESN broadcast...

I'm watching the game right now and that fucker's annoying me too.

 

[aFIGurANT]

Jhonny Peralta has more home runs this week than Pete Kozma hit in 2013.

Also: he has as many HRs as he does hits. Add that to his one walk all week and you have the one-dimensional slugger we all hoped for. Woo!

Haven't had time to watch any games. How has he looked on defense? I know the defensive metrics aren''t in agreement with one another on his glove.

 

[rando14]

Damn, the backs are 1-7? That's gotta be a franchise worst start or definitely close

 

[Dominican Power]

Damn, the backs are 1-7? That's gotta be a franchise worst start or definitely close

Their pitching is terrible.

 

[rekameohs]

So is next year's draft a good one...?!

 

[CygnusXS]

Supposedly, yes.

Barry Bonds has a .609 OBP for an entire season.

Sounds like the m's for the last decade.

 

[aFIGurANT]

He threw a bad ball to first that Adams couldn't pick against the Reds but he hasn't really been challenged yet besides that when it comes to fielding. Last night he did have a nice Iglesias-esque catch in short left field but most SSs will make that play, it wasn't too crazy.

 

[Peru]

Pretty sure no team's left more players on base this season than the cubs.

 

[sangreal]

4-straight day games, praise Selig!

 

[ConradCervantes]

GOAT. Don't even care about that other crap.

 

[Pepiope]

The Yanks really lack a true #3 hitter....Ellsbury is batting 3rd today. Ha.

I have a Lucas Duda to sell you.

 

[Mr. Enigma]

Bryce Harper feels "pretty lost" at the plate, benched for Sunday's game

 

[Paches]

Concussion or not playing good

 

[Pepiope]

Pretty sure no team's left more players on base this season than the cubs.

According to this site, OAK has left more on base...And of course the Yankees are tied with the Cubs.

Whoa

Pirates just announced Taillon is having TJ surgery. Ain't that a bitch.

Here's where it gets a little more complicated, though. Upon further review on television, it appeared as though Cervelli's foot got between Thole's legs and touched the plate before the tag was applied, which by itself highlights how difficult an umpire's job is watching both the catcher and the plate to make safe or out calls. However, since it was an umpire's review of Thole's position and not a Girardi challenge of whether or not Cervilli actually scored, there was nothing the umpires could do to change that part of the call.

They talked about this on the broadcast and the Yankees producers contacted MLB HQ about it and were told that they are supposed to review the whole play. I don't think this play was particularly important and I'm not (still) butthurt over the bad call, but why is the MLB going back to this excuse a day later?

 

[BigJonsson]

Wow, Melky hit another leadoff homerun

 

[sangreal]

fucking Melky, man

 

[BigAT]

Melky must have found another supplier in Toronto.

 

[Pepiope]

Is Melky back on the roids? He should've never left New York

 

[BigJonsson]

Sabathia looks like hes been cut in half

 

[sangreal]

Melky must have found another supplier in Toronto.

Melky has always been a decent hitter with some pop, but one thing I don't understand is how the MLB drug policies are supposed to account for any long-term gains from past cycles that he, or other players, have managed to maintain

Is Melky back on the roids? He should've never left New York

at least he contributed in NY. lol braves
