Just watched Prado's double. Baxter was throwing the ball in before Francisco even scored. So yeah, good decision to hold Bourn. He would have been out by 5 miles.

 

[Fenix]

Well he did vault himself up the wall. Probably makes it more impressive to time.

Catch of the year. Beats Bernadina's disappearing act by a few degrees of difficulty.

I also like Reddick's spiderman grab from a few weeks ago, though it didn't rob a home run.

 

[Talon]

Good lord.

Love your new av, man!

 

[harSon]

McDonald has an 8.71 era since the break, compared to his 2.37 era before the break... how do you regress that hard in a single season :|

Shit! If not for that post he totally would have thrown a no hitter.

Rookie of the Year Mike Fiers gives up all of the hits tonight against the Rockies.

HA! Now what jinx, you powerless bitch!

You can't acknowledge a Reverse-Jinx, or it my interfere with its magic.

Nah, Roenicke is gonna bring in Axford in the 9th, just so he can lol at his twitter account after the game.

Actually, probably. This week is supposed to start the strict pitch limiting for Fiers and Rogers.

 

[Dmncnby2k9]

Late but what a catch by Davis. The way he stops to time thenjump is awesome.

Can't stand him and his fucking mouthguard. He has to be the grossest person in baseball.

[Macattk15]

Yep. Easily grossest dude. Looks like he should be living in a shed up in the Adirondacks.

That costume shenanigans is legit though.

RIP Johnny Pesky

 

[hemtae]

I know I don't post here a lot anymore but RIP Pesky

 

[sangreal]

there are much grosser dudes in baseball

 

[The Frankman]

Good piece from TedQuarters in trying to answer WHY the Mets' bullpen sucks through analysis

 

[clemenx]

It sucks because last season the Blue Jays bullpen was the worst in the majors and then Sandy went and signed the 2 main reasons of why the Jays bullpen sucked. Plus people like Miguel Batista.

 

[Mr. Enigma]

Fredi Gonzalez told media today that the Braves will be going with a 6-man rotation when Tommy Hanson comes off the DL on Friday. The Braves are currently in a stretch where they do not have another off-day until August 30 and the rotation is simply doing too well to demote anyone. On that day, a decision will be made on who to send to the bullpen and return to a 5-man rotation.

 

[Joey Fox]

Nationals ranked first in every Power Rankings I've seen this week. Pretty unbelievable that they're in this position.

Zero games lucky per Fangraphs, too.

Edit: if the Nationals were as many games lucky as the..

Braves they'd be 75-40
Reds they'd be 77-38
Orioles they'd be 80-34

 

[cashman]

Looks like Hamilton is back on the tobaccy

 

[Dominican Power]

Dempster will pay.

 

[sangreal]

Seeing Ibanez in the field while an outfielder plays DH makes me rage

 

[cashman]

I do not foresee great things for Dempster this evening.

 

[Dominican Power]

Awful at bats.

 

[rekameohs]

Aaron Harang just may be the ugliest human being.

 

[Mr. Enigma]

Aaron Harang just may be the ugliest human being.

Jamey Carroll and Devin Mesoraco say hello.

 

[sf2fanatic]

Shane!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dodgers love playing in the east coast this year!!!

 

[harSon]

Man, Karstens has to be the ugliest dude in the league by far.

 

[Bumblebeetuna]

Oh Elvis.

 

[CygnusXS]

You can't talk about ugly without talking about Freddie Freeman.

i could see them keeping the 6 man rotation till the end of the season since their deadline is a day before rosters expand.

 

[Mr. Enigma]

Tom Gorzelanny will not be winning any beauty contests either.

 

[harSon]

Edit: Fuck Karstens, and beautiful grab by G Jones.

 

[jakncoke]

lol karstens was a catcher before

[Dominican Power]

He should use the mask when he pitches.

 

[sangreal]

SWISH

 

[Malo]

Swish!

 

[weekend_warrior]

ooooooooooohhhhhhh, grand slam!

 

[Dominican Power]

Dempster will pay.

And he did.

[Mr. Enigma]

Dear Ryan Dempster:

 

[jakncoke]

fuck yeah !!!

 

[cashman]

yankee zone is biting dempster in the ass.

 

[Malo]

He is getting squeezed.

 

[sangreal]

[CygnusXS]

Braves facing a LHP who throws 86-89? Nightmare scenario.
