Man Ryan Howard had a dominating 5 year stretch then just fell off a cliff.

Achilles injuries can be career-changing. He was never the same after that.

 

[Lunar FC]

Just finished hailing in Denver. Doubt they start on time.

 

[half a moon]

Marlins logo sucks

 

[BumRush]

What do you expect to get for 3 months of Jay Bruce? The Mets didn't give up much to get him and he was locked up for a few seasons.

If he's got 20 HR at the break, a decent (not a number 1,2 or 3) prospect or two?

 

[BigAT]

Wait, did the Yankees really just go from Joe West behind the plate last night to Angel Hernandez tonight?

 

[NameGenerated]

Camden Yards is stupid.

 

[Chuck]

Two Baltimore Bombs in the first inning!

Dis gonna be a good series owo

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

 

[Chuck]

THREE 1st INNGING HOMERUNS NOW OMG

 

[SRTtoZ]

Give our best players game off, still score 3 in the 1st.

 

[rrc1594]

Yankees off to another hot start

Edit- Sanchez hitting well since coming back

 

[3N16MA]

He had a .338 career batting average over 20 seasons, with 434 career strikeouts in 10232 plate appearances. In what universe is he overrated?

For the very reason you stated. Too much emphasis on his BA and and a bit of an oversight on other aspects of his game.

He is good, really good but there are other players that have produced very good careers that are not looked upon as favourably.

 

[SRTtoZ]

Tanaka has nothing

 

[3N16MA]

Yankees game goes on the secondary screen tonight. Hockey is up.

 

[Sanjuro]

I hope the Yankees die tonight. TIRED ASS BITCHESSSSSSSSSSSSSs

 

[Carpe Libertatem]

3RBI double by the pitcher

Fuck the DH

 

[BigAT]

Tanaka has nothing

Glad they were able to get out of that inning with just 1 run. Hopefully he settles down after this, Tanaka not having it the day after an 18 inning game is not a good recipe.

 

[Chuck]

I miss Matt ;_;

 

[detectiveconan1]

Lmao Mattingly. He has a point though the ump has been bad so far.

 

[Sanjuro]

Lmao Mattingly. He has a point though the ump has been bad so far.

I'm still amazed Grady Little never got another gig, but this guy...

 

[DireStr8s]

How did Gio miss so high and how did Trumbo hit it for a HR

 

[BFIB]

3RBI double by the pitcher

Fuck the DH

It seems like every time this DH talk comes up a pitcher does something.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Man Ryan Howard had a dominating 5 year stretch then just fell off a cliff.

Fat dudes don't age well. The steroid era threw this out of wack and teams bet big on guys like Howard and Prince and it came back to bite them.

 

[Sanjuro]

I remember some guy in Brooklyn at a sad Mets bar telling me a terrible story about his wife dying and his son not loving him anymore.

Then I said Ryan Howard was a pretty good baseball player, and he told me to go fuck myself.

[jman2050]

Sanchez has looked pretty good since coming back.

 

[Sanjuro]

Lmao

I'm serious. This was after his RoY & MVP year. The guy just was shaking.

 

[detectiveconan1]

I'm pretty sure we have given up the most runs with 2 outs this year lol

 

[Malo]

I'm serious. This was after his RoY & MVP year. The guy just was shaking.

I don't doubt you. I find it hilarious that the mention of Howard triggered him.

 

[JABEE]

Achilles injuries can be career-changing. He was never the same after that.

And he had the Achilles injury for half the season. They gave him cortisone shots to get him into that Cardinals series. The cortisone shots increased the chances for it to rupture. Such a shame.

CMart with 4 RBIs tonight!

 

[detectiveconan1]

Damn Ozuna stays hot. At least we won't get shut out!

 

[Grover Cleveland]

Brockmire should call all the games on ESPN

 

[Angry Grimace]

He is good, really good but there are other players that have produced very good careers that are not looked upon as favourably.

He was a Gold Glover when he was thin, as well as a good threat to steal bases. He was never a liability in the field even when he was at his heaviest.

I think its less that he is overrated and more that you seem to be underrating how good it is to be almost immune to striking out, much less hitting .350 all the time. Dude finished the 1994 strike season at .394. THREE NINETY FOUR.

[detectiveconan1]

Close play but replay got it right. Dietrich shouldn't have slid so late.

 

[Angry Grimace]

I assume the DH is the never-ending argument in here.

Nah ketchup vs mustard.

Designated hitter vs pitchers raking is an easy argument!

 

[Chuck]

Fuckin' Reds

 

[chicagocubsfan]

Padres get Szczur. Always liked Matt.

 

[bonesmccoy]

Edwin ; _ ;

edit: Holy fuck Pillar

 

[Lexxism]

Goddamn Pillar. That was a nice catch

 

[rrc1594]

Man so happy that Yankees are doing well, couldn't deal with another one of my favs sucking after Knicks this basketball season.

 

[PROh1bited]

Holy shit Kevin Pillar

 

[Loco4Coco]

Walker has done nothing all year.

 

[Windu]

Nah ketchup vs mustard.

There is no argument. Mustard is the only choice.

 

[Parch]

How many times has Gibbons been ejected? Jays struggles gonna give him an ulcer.

 

[SRTtoZ]

Won't be long until Judge charges the mound and takes out all the reds in one fell swoop.

 

[PROh1bited]

That was a terrible call by Vic Carrapaza

 

[detectiveconan1]

Stanton and Judge in the home run derby in Miami is going to be nuts.
