grand slam incoming

 

[Talon]

Well, good thing we're up by 5...

 

[Runus]

grand slam incoming

He is due to give up his HR for the day...and he struck him out as I was typing that.

 

[CygnusXS]

not sure if i agreed with that strike call but i will take it

 

[Talon]

Fans at the Ted laughing.

Presumably at how terrible Durbin is.

 

[Binx]

Durbin-centric Fredi flowchart revision incoming

 

[Jubs]

Chad Durbin redeemed.

I hereby christen him "the Durbinator."

 

[RBH]

 

[Dmncnby2k9]

Wow. Mets radio annoucers said Durbin's giving up atleast one HR in his last 7 outings. Damn!

 

[CygnusXS]

Not going to lie, the Braves have been getting pretty lucky today, but Mets defense is so lol.

 

[Talon]

What is going on?

From whence has this offense come?

Most runs scored in the NL baby!

Edit: Oh, and tied with the Rangers for MLB lead!

 

[darkside31337]

Melancon sent down to Pawtucket, Junichi Tazawa called up in his place.

 

[Ilive1up]

smh at the mets today.

 

[Binx]

Livan don't care. Someone tell him lunch is waiting in the clubhouse, and he might try harder.

 

[The Frankman]

Mets are pretty much like "Fuck this it's Getaway Day"

Feels good, man!

 

[storybook77]

Heyward with the 8 game hitting streak now.

 

[CygnusXS]

And we officially lead the MLB in runs scored. Alright then.

 

[RBH]

Keep 'em coming!

 

[Talon]

And we lead baseball in steals as well, right?

When's the last time that's been true - even for a day?

Sometime when Furcal was around maybe? /shrug

My man.

Probably Otis Nixon timeframe.

 

[CygnusXS]

Every Braves player who came to the plate today, including pitchers and pinch-hitters, got at least one hit.

If they keep it up, I say we start every year 0-4!

I hear they have amazing access this year, much more than the Giants gave them.

This will be a hit. wish i had Showtime.

one thing (probably the only thing) I like about fredi's bullpen management is his willingness to let pitchers go more than one inning. It's probably more due to the roster construction than anything though.

Also it's pretty bad when I don't trust durbin with a 5 run lead.

Hernandez and Medlen being there is going to do a lot for our bullpen this year. They'll take a lot of work off of O'Ventrel.

I don't truct Durbin either.

 

[Meohsix]

WooT! just got tickets for Fridays Tampa Yankees vs Daytona Cubs. and Andy Pettitte is pitching that night!
EDIT: just hope the rain they are calling for doesn't fuck things up...

holy shit at 1:11

 

[LJ11]

Maybe it's me but MLB.tv looks pretty mediocre on the iPad. Cool UI but the feed itself is rather disappointing.

Which is worse, Procter or Durbin? I wonder if the whole team gets nervous when Durbin comes in now. I imagine so.
I do feel better about Livan now, he will be pitching when he is 40 years old. A six foot curve and a 40 mph breaking ball.

He will have to in order to pay his debts:
He owes a Miami bank $500,000 and

Washington Nationals pitcher Livan Hernandez is the target of a federal money laundering investigation over his alleged ties to a convicted Puerto Rican drug trafficker, the Washington Times reported Tuesday.

According to the report, the veteran right-hander is suspected of acting as a "straw buyer" for Angel Ayala-Vazquez in the purchase of two luxury sports cars in January 2006.

Ayala-Vazquez was convicted in April of conspiracy to distribute cocaine, heroin and pills in Bayamon, Puerto Rico. He was also considered one of the leading traffickers of drugs into the U.S.

Ayala-Vazquez took possession of the 2006 Lamborghini and 2003 Porsche, valued at more than $400,000, while the cars remained in Hernandez's name with Florida registrations, it is alleged. According to court documents from Ayala-Vazquez's trial, authorities believe straw buyers were used to make purchases of real estate, cars and businesses look legitimate.

 

[Windu]

Which is worse, Procter or Durbin?

Proctor by far. Durbin at least has promise in terms of the advanced metrics.

 

[The Outsider]

14 runs? Shit cray.

 

[TheNatural]

I thought this was pretty good, on Juan Castro:

http://mlb.sbnation.com/2012/4/18/2957741/juan-castro-worlds-best-person

Amazing considering everything how this guy is somehow in the majors with those numbers. Also, this comment is hilarious:

"I respect [Juan] Castro. You know why? A lot of people have wanted to kill release [Juan] Castro for the last 60 17 years, but that mother—— is still here."

 

[eznark]

Lol Dbacks

 

[jman2050]

Jeter SS
Granderson CF
Teixeira 1B
Cano 2B
Swisher DH
Ibanez RF
Chavez 3B
Martin C
Gardner LF

Why the hell is Raul Ibanez anywhere near a baseball glove?

 

[sangreal]

Why the hell is Raul Ibanez anywhere near a baseball glove?

ffs, not again

 

[Malo]

Why the hell is Raul Ibanez anywhere near a baseball glove?

Retardi will never learn.

 

[Windu]

lol Swisher DH, Ibanez in the field.

 

[yankeehater]

lol Swisher DH, Ibanez in the field.

We need advanced stats comparing Swishers D to Rauls. He probably has some crazy stat in the trapper keeper that says Raul fields better in Wednesday night games when the temp is 70 degrees.

 

[rekameohs]

Lol Dbacks

We've led at some point every single game this season.... and the record is 7-5.

Chris Young may have a torn shoulder.

Gibson can't manage the bullpen.

FML

 

[sf2fanatic]

Giradi trolling with the Twins... Ibanez starting and watch him have Rapada to close...lol

 

[BigJonsson]

Damn

 

[suEcide]

Damn

Indeed
