A ball landed in front of Marte, it bounced up and hit him in the face. Ouch.

 

[chicagocubsfan]

First loss of the year that really pissed me off! And a off day tomorrow!

Eh. We can't win em all. Rondon got hosed too.

 

[Carpe Libertatem]

2 doubles and a single, 0 runs

Cardinals baseball

Yeah, but I really wanted that series win.

Oh well, Pit is next.

Can't complain too much here.

 

[Syrinx]

more runz

 

[Beckx]

Ummmm, 2% is one, maybe two hits in a season. Statistical noise.

the point is that he was not playing in a hitters park, though. i figured more information about the conditions he was hitting under in Japan would be useful.

 

[Grover Cleveland]

I heard Hanley can hit again?

 

[Tragicomedy]

I guess. If we had double digit numbers or something, I'd consider it a factor. At the quoted number, we're literally talking about a hit, maybe two in a season.

Point taken, he didn't hit in a batter friendly park. More a neutral one. His numbers are amazing and he has proved the best hitter of this generation.

He also didn't play in a hitter friendly park while in Seattle, either.

 

[Syrinx]

Mets blowing too much of their load in one game. All these runs.

 

[Orbis Tabula]

Man, I thought I'd be home by 8. 12 innings! What a fantastic game!

 

[Malo]

Mets scoring all these runs with a bunch of scrubs.

 

[rando14]

Corey Kluber gonna get that work.



Ummmm, 2% is one, maybe two hits in a season. Statistical noise.

Isn't 2% technically like the difference between .320 and .340? That's definitely a significant difference

 

[Ninja Scooter]

I just love the title of this article:

[Little Green Yoda]

That was a perfect setup by Siegrist on Gomez.

Sigh, this team has played so badly at home.

 

[Tragicomedy]

Isn't 2% technically like the difference between .320 and .340? That's definitely a significant difference

Does it say 2% difference in BA? If it's 2% BA, that would mean something.

I read it as a flat 2% difference in hits. The best players in baseball get 200 hits in a season. 2% is nothing.

But more importantly...SALVY BOMB! Dude is monster.

 

[Original Famous Ray]

Why is Thor throwing 113 pitches in an 11 - 0 game? I love a good complete game but c'mon now. Use a scrub to finish off the game.



edit: Thor is a good pitcher. He's pissed! lol Wants to finish it up!

 

[Beckx]

MORAL VICTORY, NO SHUTOUT!

heh. next few days are going be ugly. :/

Without having seen the original source, that's not how his post reads. It doesn't say 2% difference in BA, does it? If it's 2% BA, that would mean something.

I read it as stated, a flat 2% difference in hits. The best players in baseball get 200 hits in a season. 2% is nothing

?

Kyodo News' Jim Allen points out that Ichiro played his home games in Japan in a pitchers' park that depressed batting averages by 2%, too.

anyway, if it helps, here's Jim's quote. Jim knows his shit.

@jballallen His home park in Kobe was a pitchers' park that decreased batting averages by 2.5 percent.

 

[Flying Toaster]

Great thing about seeing the Dodgers at Chase field is that half the fans there are Dodgers Fans.

Last two games were great.

 

[DireStr8s]

Man, I thought I'd be home by 8. 12 innings! What a fantastic game!

Nice. I'm jealous!

 

[BFIB]

BFIB!

Edited my post, likely while you were responding. I had to read what you quoted again. Makes sense, and that's a fairly significant number.

Also, Royals swept the Cleveland Racists and regained first place. Today was a good day.

Indians fan searching for Royals hat. i can't make this stuff up.

Freeman hits for the cycle!

 

[RBH]

Freddie Freeman hits for the cycle!

 

[Macattk15]

Well least we made it till June this year M's fam!

 

[RBH]

Braves had the bases loaded with zero outs in the bottom of the 11th inning, and they couldn't do jack shit with it.

Fuck this team

Get rid of replay. It's useless.

Excuse me while I go cry in the corner.

 

[cashman]

lol wow, Rangers looked dead and buried this game.

 

[CygnusXS]

Honestly deserve the top pick in the draft just for this game alone.


Edit: holy cheese and crackers they won

 

[CosmicQueso]

lol wow, Rangers looked dead and buried this game.

It's the A's. They're awful.

 

[Rafa=FedKilla]

The A's are miserable pieces of trash.

 

[Silver Arrows]

The A's are miserable pieces of trash.

At least the Barves try to make the game interesting and have some fight in them.

The A's are jsut terrible.

I can't watch it anymore. I'm even harking back to the Jemile Weeks days. These guys play like they have sewage dripping out every pour. Infield acts like the baseball is a grenade, with how they bobble it. Just disgusting.

Ultimately, what makes watching a terrible team worth it is when you get a good win or something uplifting happens (See: Freddie Freeman hitting for the cycle, seriously I thought the Braves would have more) but when I watch the highlights of the A's, they simply are pure garbage.

can't even anticipate a start from Sonny considering he is flaming garbage this year.

 

[RBH]

Holy shit, we won??!!?!?!?

 

[Corran Horn]

Holy shit, we won??!!?!?!?

Every chipper has his day

We're going all the way. 2016 World Series Champs.

 

[BFIB]

The Braves actually looked like a professional baseball team.

 

[Doogdogg]

AL East is so close, 3 teams beating up each other.

 

[RBH]

#Braves will promote RHP Tyrell Jenkins today. Jenkins posted a 2.91 ERA in 14 appearances with Gwinnett this season

Mallex and Tyrell reunited :')

 

[GK86]

Wright is opting for surgery on the herniated disc in his neck.

He's not coming back this season for sure.

This might be it for him in general,

Doesn't that surgery end his career? I thought they were going to like fuse his neck or some shit.
