Angels falling apart! Weaver is either in a lot of pain or he's just being a pouty bitch. Maybe both.

Juan Francisco's numbers have been sickeningly good since the team told him to get his ass in shape.
They should just start Felix every game.
Wat. I think he's talkin bout shitty Brandon League!
he officially gave up 9 earned runs in 3 innings....
Sale gave up 4 runs over 7 and got the loss
Verlander gave up 3 runs over 6 and got a ND
Felix shot up quite a bit in the Cy standings in the last 48 hours lol

Weaver gave up a career high 9 earned runs in 3 innings without getting an out in the 4th. His ERA went from a league best 2.22 to 2.74.

Weaver just got rocked HARD. Book's closed on him: 3IP, 9ER. EDIT: Beaten twice. I ain't even mad.
I meant for the Dodgers (League and Wright).
Combined to blow it. League has been unbelievably awful.Weaver just TANKED my fantasy team for the week.. I'm fucked, lol.

David Price for Cy Young.
I feel surprisingly positive with him at 3rd next year...he's promised to shed some pounds in the winter league.
If he follows through and keeps working with Walker on his swing, he just might fulfill his potential.
Obviously Nick Blackburn should be Cy Young.
He has been nasty all year long... I mean he is currently worth 4.15 runs per game (a 7.3 ERA).... Name one other player who have played at least 19 games that is worth 4.15 runs
joking aside though, do the twins really not have a single pitcher in their minors that could use some MLB experience? I mean I have to figure a promising single A prospect could manage a 7.3 ERA lol

So he didn't listen when he was on the Reds, but is listening now. Good for us.

Mlb.com's fantasy updates are not bad.
Chris Davis for AL CY: Undefeated, 0.00 ERA, what more do you want?

But The Nats play Los Mests. So, it doesn't matter.

I leave to get food and League screws it all up. What the hell.

The Cardinals have such an inconsistent offense. Best offense in the league, my ass.
To be fair, McDonald was one of the most dominant pitchers in the league before going on a massive shit streak.

I'm not basing it on just one game though.
The Cards outscore the Reds and Nats by 0.53 and 0.39 runs/game, respectively. All 3 teams score 3 runs or fewer at the same rate (~42%). Which wouldn't be as much of a problem if our pitching was as good as theirs.
Now let's look at the 2nd and 3rd highest scoring teams in the NL. The Rockies and Braves score less than 4 runs in 39% and 37% of their games, respectively.
The bulk of our 1 run losses are because the offense shat the bed, not because of our erratic bullpen.

The move was done moreso just to get League out of there I think.

Rays win 12-3. 17 hits. Good shit.

M's were forecast as a .500 team before the season. REGRESSION TO THE MEAN, BABY!
From the MLB wrap:
"Morneau's hit ended a string of 42 straight outs by Seattle pitchers dating back to the ninth inning Tuesday against Tampa Bay, the longest run in the Majors since 1974."

Pirates better shit on Lynn tomorrow.

I wouldn't be surprised. Batters are OPSing .859 against him post AS break. And guess who starts the third game of the series? The guy coming off the DL with shoulder issues and will probably return there for season ending surgery after a start or two.

Bellisario lost this game. He's been hit and miss last couple of weeks. Even though League hasn't been good, gotta give him a shot at the set up. Not having Elbert is costing us...
Like I said in above post. We only have one lefty out of the pen right now....Elbert is hurt. We need him

Yeah, I'm awful, I've only gone once or twice ever. I stood behind my friend's dad once, who played some minor league ball, while he took some 85 mph pitches and I was just in awe.
When I was in Florida in June, I went to Zuleta's Indoor Batting Cages for "fun". Most pro batting cages I've ever seen. They do 10$ for 10 minutes of pitching in the cage, and in that time the machine throws 94 pitches. After about 60 pitches I couldn't grip the bad with my left hand and could only use it to to lead the bat through my swing. After I took off my batting gloves I saw that I'd opened up 6 blisters on my left hand, the biggest one at the base of my index finger, about the size of my thumb nail.
I can't imagine the calluses on pro's hands.

Only been twice. One a few minutes away from Coney Island and the other right at the boardwalk in Coney. Dat was a good one, they got rid of it though.
