I'm sorry if I offended anyone before. Fuck you.

So uncivilized.

So uncivilized.

Don't Charles Barkley me, Corran.

 

[CygnusXS]

Hey look, Philly scored a run.

Just one though.

 

[Chuck]

Geez, the Orioles really do know how to piss away a lead. I turn off the game after a 2-run homerun to do something else and comeback them down by 2. And the errors are unacceptable. Buck needs to do something about them stat.

 

[Carlbeego]

Pujols is trash.

 

[Meohsix]

I just got a chance to see today's yanks sox score. Hahahahahahhaahah

We are indeed all Kipnisses.

 

[ToxicAdam]

Poor a's fans. Team is falling apart.

 

[Carlbeego]

Damn crazy day. Insane come back by Yanks n perfect game for Humber. Enjoy White Sox gaf. Didnt he have no hitter last year?

He almost no hit the Yanks lol

 

[Redux]

Would be nice for the Tribe to play this well at home.

 

[eznark]

I cannot wait to watch this Red Sox collapse. The condensed game will put me to sleep nicely, with a big smile on my face.

Braves only score 3? Freeman and Heyward hit-less? Party's over.

 

[evil solrac v3.0]

hmm, looks like another ass kicking in Boston today, NY post

[Flunkie]

Any chance Bobby V gets fired before the ASB? lmao

 

[The Outsider]

Braves only score 3? Freeman and Heyward hit-less? Party's over.

And they still (miraculously) got a win!

I'd be okay with another sweep.

RASMUS!!!!

 

[evil solrac v3.0]

all the more reason for Sanj to join us as a full time member.

I thought he already was.

 

[rekameohs]

You decide if he went around or not. Looks like he did to me.

 

[Branduil]

Impossible to tell from those angles.

 

[Blackace]

Impossible to tell from those angles.

side angle looks like he broke the plane..

but close either way

 

[ConradCervantes]

He went. And even if he didn't, the ump was probably trolling him for check-swinging at a slider THAT outside.

Go Tribe!

I can't believe how well we are hitting with 2 outs right now!

 

[yankeeforever2]

He went. And even if he didn't, the ump was probably trolling him for check-swinging at a slider THAT outside.

My main problem with the play is that the home plate ump went rambo and just called him out without even checking wit the first base ump.

 

[eznark]

He pretty clearly went around. Plus, it doesn't matter. The umpire can decide a guy "struck at" the ball whether he broke the plane or not. Its a subjective rule without definition.

He was fooled and swung at the pitch as a result. It's a strike.

 

[Joe Shlabotnik]

There's no real rule about "breaking the plane" or anything--it's completely plausible that it looks like he took a real shot at a shitty pitch. He shouldn't have looked at that for so long, much less made half a swing at it.

Edit: Must refresh page more often

 

[Y2Kev]

Look, Ryan obviously tried to give him the perfect game. He could have been a spoilshit and ran to first base if he wanted. ShittyCatcher was obviously expecting him to not be a dick, which is why he slowly strolled over the the backstop anyway.

They did an expose yesterday on baseball tonight on all the recent perfect games. And they didn't even mention Galaragga.

Which is what some of us were saying last year. Lots of people were saying BUT EVERYONE WILL REMEMBER HIM FOR THE SCREWED GAME! and the reality is no one remembered him at all. MLB continues to blow when it comes to the umpires.

[CygnusXS]

I like how he slides to avoid the tag.

 

[Enron]

Wait; Pineda shut down AGAIN?

Is it safe to say the Mariners won that trade now?

Spoiler

it'll be the only thing they win this year

 

[Dmncnby2k9]

Horrible

Horrible decision jajaja

No, it's cool. Jesus can't catch and Campos is killing it in low-A ball.

 

[yankeeforever2]

Pineda is going to get Tommy John's in the next couple of months, I can sense it.

 

[CygnusXS]

Honestly? They'll be lucky if it's TJ. They're talking shoulder son, that shit's never good.

 

[Parch]

Pineda is going to get Tommy John's in the next couple of months, I can sense it.

Not for his shoulder he won't.
It would be better if it was his elbow and he could get Tommy John. They've gotten real good at fixing elbows, but the shoulder is hit and miss. Sometimes shoulder surgery works, sometimes it doesn't. There have been many, many pitching careers ended because of shoulder problems. The minor leagues is a meat market for pitchers, and the shoulder is by far the biggest career killer.

 

[Y2Kev]

I think it's pretty hilarious that they would not have done a more thorough physical examination. What is the policy with regards to MLBPA restrictions? Is a dye contrast MRI considered invasive?

I'm pretty sure that even asking a player how he is feeling would be considered invasive by MLBPA standards.

 

[cashman]

A labrum, or rotator cuff injury is pretty much the kiss of death for most pitchers.

 

[h3ro]

Is a dye contrast MRI considered invasive?

Not at all, there is no cutting/opening involved. It's a regular MRI with a two minute procedure prior to inject some dye into the joint prior to the study.

The patient gets taken into a suite with a movable CT machine to monitor the joint and the Radiologist injects the dye in, while taking snapshots with the CT machine to see if the dye if properly diffusing within the joint space. After that, the patient gets taken over to the MRI machine where they have a regular MRI.

The dye gets taken up by the tissue surrounding the joint capsule and lets us get a better view of what exactly is going on in there.

Very straight forward and is the standard for further investigation of an injury.

 

[Y2Kev]

Well then I can't tell you why they didn't do one. It's not like his velocity was consistent all of last year.

 

[MisterNugNug]

No, it's cool. Jesus can't catch and Campos is killing it in low-A ball.

Have you seen Miguel Olivo catch? Whatever Jesus can do behind there is better than Olivo. I'm being serious.
