I guess we have different definitions of domination.

Yes. Yours is self evidently wrong.

 

[GK86]

Probably Kelly

Most likely. Reynolds probably gets the boot Tuesday.

 

[Original Famous Ray]

Lord have mercy...that Mets lineup against Kershaw. 20k's for Kershaw tonight? jeez

 

[JDHarbs]

Downhill? You haven't seen shit yet! Wait until I link to my Royals fan fiction site.

I'm working on one now where after hitting a game winning 6 run grand slam Hosmer trots over to the field level seats where I'm sitting, kisses me and it cures my shingles.

Did you just spoil Moneyball 2 for me?

 

[GK86]

Matt Reynolds has been optioned back to AAA.

 

[wbsmcs]

...How did KC all of a sudden end up in first? White Sox could have been 6 games up damn

Campbell continues to work that Voodoo spell over Terry and company!

That patented domination™ I keep hearing about.

Campbell continues to work that Voodoo spell over Terry and company!

I hope in either Terry's or Campbell's tell-all book, they reveal what Campbell had over them.


Edit - Matz turns 25 today.

As New York Giants fans know, it must be the same thing Markus Kuhn had over Tom Coughlin.

White Sox got swept by Royals and were losing before that. Their bullpen hasn't been great at all lately. 15 runs given up by CWS bullpen 7th inning or later in the three games to KC. Plus, Royals have won 5 straight series now including two series against the Sox.

I swear they're either lovers or he's got some heinous shit on him to stay on this roster.

 

[jello44]

Ken Giles back to giving up runs...

 

[distantmantra]

[sigh]

 

[Tragicomedy]

Yes. Yours is self evidently wrong.

"Self-evidently wrong" = you've got nothing to counter. Sounds good.

 

[Chris R]

Mariners just love playing with my heart. Maybe the open roof tomorrow brings a win. I'd love to go 2-3 at home.......

 

[prag16]

"Self-evidently wrong" = you've got nothing to counter. Sounds good.

Multiple people including me have already explained why your claim is bullshit, as far back as last November. You're simply a very bad troll at this point, doing nothing other than shitting up this thread.

At least in the heat of the moment back then, "rah rah domination" claims from Royals fans were more understandable. But 8 months later, you're just trying too hard, and yes, are self evidently wrong. No further bait from you will be dignified by a response.

 

[Frozenprince]

I'm gonna guess 17 K's for Kershaw tonight.

 

[BumRush]

I'm gonna guess 17 K's for Kershaw tonight.

You and I were both very wrong about Urias so I wouldn't expect that much from kers-- oh,, kershaw, yeah...17+ for sure

 

[detectiveconan1]

Dietrich!!!

 

[GK86]

Colon hits a homerun off of Kershaw.


Kershaw hits a grand slam.

 

[Lexxism]

 

[bonesmccoy]

Floyd :/

It'll only be a few more weeks until I'm blaming Loup and Cecil, like old times.

 

[GK86]

No matter how times I see Kershaw's stats, it always blows my mind.

Dude had 2 walks this month.

And his K/BB went UP! He's on another planet.

 

[wbsmcs]

The Braves franchise from 1876 to 2016 has played 20,910 games. They are 10,384-10,373.

I give them 14 more games this year until they sit at exactly .500.

Edit: wait those numbers don't add up..maybe something to do with games before 1900 being hard to record or something.

 

[Original Famous Ray]

Murphy was a "legend" for the Mets?

 

[Frozenprince]

WE GOT A HIT OFF KERSHAW

THIS IS NOT A DRILL. REPEAT. NOT A DRILL.

I can't wait until it's revealed that he has a robot arm.

Postseason legend, for sure. I'm assuming that is what he meant.

Correa is <3

Ces come on man he threw you that pitch 4 times.

Only one pitch in the strike zone.

Official sellout crowd today at #Braves game at Turner Field: 50,247

Spoiler

It's because there's a post-game concert featuring Chris Stapleton (whoever the hell that is)

 

[BumRush]

To be fair, kershaws offspeed stuff (slider, curve and occasional change) are just so, so, so good.

 

[Choomp]

Ces come on man he threw you that pitch 4 times.

Yeah that was frustrating, he took a few times too lol

But still some quality at bats early here, kind of promising

and the braves play like shit and lose. of course.

 

[detectiveconan1]

Finally beat the Braves. It only took our worst pitcher and putting our two worst hitters into the lineup.

Ozuna getting booed by 50,000+ as he did his home run trot in the 9th is definitely my favorite moment of the season. That was awesome lmao

What are they going to do with old Turner Field.

Make it into an Indian reserve

georgia state univeristy is turning it into a football stadium

Astros couldn't tag Old Man Pujols in time?

What are they going to do with old Turner Field.

Turner Field is going to be sold to Atlanta-based real estate firm Carter and Georgia State University.

The Carter-Georgia State team plan involves a $300 million mix of student housing, apartments, retail and the conversion of Turner Field into a football stadium. Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed publicly endorsed the Georgia State team when it first announced its interest in the site early last year.

Pooholes has been a thorn in the Astros side for far too fucking long.

I'v played Independent ball. Mostly (majority really) Semi-pro but I cracked a Pecos league roster for a few weeks.

Most are Texas and the East Coast, the Atlantic League is pretty much AAAA level baseball, it's fairly high level.

I couldn't even get close to it. There are several "big" leagues and a few general affiliated teams that play exhibition seasons.

perhaps there are a number of tied games?

early baseball had ties.

 

[Frozenprince]

Kershaw's mechanics are perfect. Everybody should be taught his general motion (everybody stretches differently can't change that).

You should check out "the only rule is that it has to work" from the Effectively Wild podcast guys. They convinced an independent ball team to let them GM for a season. It's a great read.

There's a team relatively close to me in NY that is a fun time (cheap seats, surprisingly high quality of baseball, etc).

In its history, the following players have played for the team: Sean burroughs, edgardo alfonzo, lew ford, Jay gibbons, dontrelle Willis and many more.

Nice! Mind if I ask what position you played?

I'll definitely check that out. Thanks!


Edit: @ Bumrush Sounds very cool. The documentary definitely piqued my attention. Need to see if Cincinnati has any teams nearby
