Support NeoGAF

[CygnusXS]

McCutchen is so good. Pirates need to give him support fast.

They're on pace to score like 400 runs this season. Mind blowing stuff.

word.

 

[darkside31337]

Good day today. Rays takes care of the Barves but more importantly Chelsea wins the Champions League. Yes!

 

[Blearth]

Giants pitchers faced a grand total of 28 batters today.

LOLkland

 

[Homeboyd]

David Murphy inside the park home run.

lol

 

[Mr. Enigma]

White Sox have signed Orlando Hudson.

Blue Jays have placed Adam Lind on outright waivers.

 

[The Frankman]

Meanwhile, Collins said it was clear from the dugout Mike Baxter was safe at second base on his ninth inning hit. However, when he asked second base umpire Brian Knight for help, he told Collins he would not be allowed assistance in that situation.

Wait, I missed this. Was it YoTU worthy?

 

[clemenx]

[Brinbe]

haha, some fantastic pitching in this phils-sox game.

 

[JABEE]

Freddy Galvis has the same number of Homeruns as Albert Pujols.

 

[The Frankman]

oh...

my god.

 

[Brinbe]

Jeezuz, Ortiz crushed that shit.

 

[JABEE]

Blanton!

 

[cashman]

Way to pitch with the lead Derek Holland.

 

[Branduil]

Holland has not been good this year.

 

[Branduil]

Failgando.

 

[Brinbe]

Hell of a catch by Sweeney

 

[Sanjuro]

Ryan Sweeney is a fun ballplayer.

 

[Branduil]

Rangers are 8-10 in May against mostly mediocre or bad opponents. Can the media stop calling them the best team in baseball?

 

[Duane Cunningham]

Or better yet, stop calling some of those opponents "bad"?

 

[Branduil]

Kansas City, Oakland, and Houston are not good.

 

[Sanjuro]

Yikes.

 

[clemenx]

Hahaha Elvis. I thought he had gotten away

 

[Branduil]

Rangers need some starting pitchers who can pitch.

 

[Windu]

sooo how long till david wright suffers a season ending injury?

Welcome back.

 

[Fenix]

Berkman down, looks like he pulled something.

 

[Little Green Yoda]

Berkman down, looks like he pulled something.

Just what we needed, another position player on the DL. I'm surprised Furcal has been relatively healthy so far.

 

[Enron]

Good day today. Rays takes care of the Barves but more importantly Chelsea wins the Champions League. Yes!

Get that soccer bullshit out of the baseball thread! This is a place for REAL sports!


Derek Holland is no better than he was 2 seasons ago. I think it's time we all accept he's never going to be a TORP. His ceiling is now as a #3 starter.

 

[Little Green Yoda]

Sounds like the Matt Adams era will officially begin once Berkman hits the DL. Anxious to see how well he can hit ML pitching.

 

[RobotHaus]

Berkman is such a nice guy. He just wants Carpenter to play a bit more and show off his stuff.

But I hope he's ok. I hope it's just a day to day injury.

Sounds about right. A championship postseason rotation would have Darvish as the #2 starter, Colby #3, and Holland #4.

 

[Rafa=FedKilla]

They should just sign Oswalt, Harrison and Holland suck, and if complains about his back or Missippipsispi just release him.

Welcome back Windu

 

[Meier]

Kershaw quietly under a 2.0 ERA again. Hurling tonight.

 

[Mr. Enigma]

Marlins just optioned Gaby Sanchez to AAA.

 

[lazybones18]

Looks like I'll be heading back to Comerica Park next month to see a Tigers game

Curse that Tumbler Tour!

 

[HarryDemeanor]

Wooo! Dodgers win!

 

[Mr. Enigma]

Damn, the Angels are a mess.

 

[The Frankman]

Marlins just optioned Gaby Sanchez to AAA.

Mets should take notes with Ike.

 

[ZeroRay]

Marlins just optioned Gaby Sanchez to AAA.

Not surprised. Statistically, his replacement would have to try real hard to be worse than Gaby was.

Damn, why'd Bonifacio have to get hurt? He finally started being the player he was meant to be.

 

[verbum]

NL East Streaks:

Lost 1
Lost 3

Saturday was not a good day for them. NL West's turn today?
American League is chewing the NL up. 9-5 Friday and 9-5 Saturday.

 

[bonesmccoy]

Blue Jays have placed Adam Lind on outright waivers.

Would the Marlins want Lind? 5 million per for this year and next, then up to 7 by 2014. I don't know much about MLB salaries, but that seems a lot for a mid-career guy who's hitting around .200 and has only ever had one good year.

I guess AA wanted to see how well Gomes did, and since he looked ok, there was no reason to keep Lind around. :/

Nobody in baseball is going to claim Lind. That is beyond moronic for a team to even consider. Dude is a legit scrub.

Based on his performance now, the contract is not appealing for anyone, but it's not egregious, he'd just have to perform a little better than a replacement-level player to be worth the deal. But he hasn't played that well since 2009, so it's unlikely anyone wants to take on the contract.

By the way, the structure of the contract is: 3.5 remaining for this year, 5 for 2013 and then a likely 3.5 million dollar buyout of the 3 option years afterwards.

 

[Enron]

Ah hahahaha Adam Lind.


You know its bad when a team drops you for a 40 million year old Vladimir Guerrero.

 

[XiaNaphryz]

Meanwhile in Sacramento, someone had a 3 K night:

 

[Fenix]

Ah hahahaha Adam Lind.


You know its bad when a team drops you for a 40 million year old Vladimir Guerrero.

You (at least you-Texas, not you-Braves) should probably pick him up, career stats in Arlington: .312/.353/.710. 10 HR in 93 AB. Sounds better than Moreland!

 

[Enron]

No thanks! Rather just keep running Moreland out there, even if Lind didn't cost real monies.

 

[Fenix]

Dang it, worth a shot.
