WTF was Votto doing there? He had enough time to get up and throw to 2nd... thanks anyway!

EDIT: Big hit by Ike! 2-1 and runners on 2nd and 3rd!

 

[CygnusXS]

I know Minor has been unlucky. But he's also been shitty on top of that. He's no better now than the day he came to the bigs nearly 3 years ago. Zero development. The day they remove him from the rotation and replace him with Medlen or Julio I'll be doing cartwheels in the yard.

Has he actually had to though? Career: 3.58 SIERA, .353 BABIP. Just saying.

 

[The Frankman]

SUICIDE SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZEEEEEEEEEE!

Two days in a row! 3-1 Mets!

 

[GK86]

Awesome seeing the squeeze again in action.

Tiger fans, why did they take out Jackson?

 

[CygnusXS]

Jurrjens final line 4.2 IP, 12 H, 11R, 10 ER, 2 BB, 3 K, 2 HR. 95 Pitches, 63 strikes.

Giving Minor a run for his money.

Goddamn I hate the Marlins.

 

[Enron]

Jair Jurrjens is done. Cooked.

 

[CygnusXS]

Jair Jurrjens is done. Cooked.

This I agree with wholeheartedly.

Pelfrey for Jurrjens.

 

[McNei1y]

Adam LaRoche is a god.

 

[Sanjuro]

Tampa Bay is such shit. Fuck this shit.

 

[LiQuid!]

Brewers have to have someone better than Wolf in the minors. This is fucking garbage.

 

[RBH]

Tampa Bay is such shit. Fuck this shit.

 

[The Frankman]

oh RBH, I saw that Cristol Tampa Bay Rays vid.

 

[The Frankman]

So... TC takes out Parnell after facing 1 batter, doesn't bring Byrdak in to face Joey Votto (saving him for Jay Bruce), and then when he does use him for Bruce he allows a sac fly that gives the Reds the lead but was almost a 3-run bomb.

Not a good sequence there, Top Cat.

 

[Binx]

Just turning on the game and also seeing JJ's line above. PITCHING! WTF?

 

[TheNatural]

LOL Muts. Can't believe we're winning with Leake coming back from down 2.

So, with rave reviews having followed Papelbon thus far in his first National League season, was he anxious about meeting up with his former mates?

"It won't be weird. It might be a little weird for Pap, but it won't be weird for Cinco," Papelbon explained. "Cinco is like a Great White, when he smells blood he attacks."

Has he felt bad for some of the turmoil those Red Sox left behind from the chaos of 2011 have had to endure?

"Cinco don't feel bad," he said. "Cinco's [heart]less. He don't feel bad for people. Pap felt bad. I didn't feel bad for some of the players. It was more that I missed some of the guys.

...

Sounds like an Avengers promo to me.

just who is Cinco?

 

[The Frankman]

just who is Cinco?

He is Cinco.

 

[clemenx]

Oh Mets

 

[RBH]

oh RBH, I saw that Cristol Tampa Bay Rays vid.

 

[lastflowers]

My beloved Astros are so fun to watch this year. It feels so good after watching the bloated salaried seasons of yesteryear.

 

[CygnusXS]

Just turning on the game and also seeing JJ's line above. PITCHING! WTF?

Pitching? Braves? What? Impossible.

 

[The Frankman]

Oh Mets

quiet you.

 

[Binx]

STILL trying to wrap my head around this season.

I hear where you're coming from especially considering how Parnell has been our best arm from the pen, but Jesus... Can anyone else be trusted from the pen in a close game? 3 out of the last 6 games, we had a lead blown in the 8th or later, and we're now tied in the ML for blown saves. Move has to be made.

He's trying to overthink it instead of just going bullpen-by-committee. Parnell just retired a guy and only threw 6-7 pitches; start him the next inning. IF he faltered you could've gone to Byrdak for Votto and then Rauch after that, but for some reason he was saving him for Jay Bruce. Remember, he couldn't bring in Ramirez (who does very well vs. lefties) because Ramirez was burned out yesterday after the Carrasco fiasco. So that begs the question: Why did he manage like he had a rested pen? I don't get that.

 

[CygnusXS]

Heath Bell time. Strap in, everybody.

 

[Binx]

Wait, so Bourn isn't hurt is he?

EDIT: nevermind

 

[Rafa=FedKilla]

Jair Jurrjens is done. Cooked.

What happened to him in AAA?

 

[CygnusXS]

What happened to him in AAA?

He made the suggestion that he would prefer to visit our Low-A team.

 

[ZeroRay]

Heath Bell gets a 1-2-3 inning.

YES!

 

[CygnusXS]

 

[weekend_warrior]

Yup, 3 hits. 1-2-3. What a team, what a collective effort. The $200 million team. Way to go.

 

[Branduil]

So, Yu Darvish is already the Rangers' best starting pitcher.

 

[Enron]

yuuuuuuuu

 

[StickSoldier]

So, Yu Darvish is already the Rangers' best starting pitcher.

And some people want CJ instead of Yu..

 

[The Frankman]

And some people want CJ instead of Yu..

Why wouldn't they want CJ over me?

 

[RBH]

3 balks in this game for the Red Sox

 

[Mindlog]

I've never seen so many consecutive odd calls go the Rays' way.

Fuck Boston.

 

[Zee-Row]

True icon of Wrestling.

 

[Sanjuro]

That was the most disgusting HBP I've ever heard

 

[Sanjuro]

Rhymes has now collapsed.

 

[Zee-Row]

Wow Rhymes injury was freaky.

 

[Sanjuro]

Fans will never understand what a Balk is.

 

[Mindlog]

Someone should explain it to McClure.

 

[rekameohs]

Well I guess I'd be somewhat ok because Jamie Moyer would be winning.

 

[Chuck]

And JJ Hardy ties it up!

 

[Zee-Row]

Rays win yay!

 

[Branduil]

Fans will never understand what a Balk is.

It's where you look to third and throw to first.

 

[Sanjuro]

1. Rays get a victory because of their unplayable urine stained shithole.

2. If you watch the Rhymes replay, 0% of that sound is coming from the bat.

3. Rodney shouldn't be allowed to pitch with his cap like that. He goes have a ton of gas though, still should be banned. Doesn't help he's an asshole.
