can't spell Victory without Victorino, and then you add a Y at the end. Minus the ino part

 

[Rafa=FedKilla]

The Rangers.

For Olt, Tepesch, Buckel and that little Mexican SS in A ball. Rangers get Stanton and Juan Pierre. Rangers trade Profar over winter to Astros for Correia. Lol

Mariner hitters still are showing above average totals in hitting fly balls, line drives and in pulling (pulled LDs and pulled FBs tend to result in hits and extra-base hits more frequently) both. However, the Mariners team BABIP currently sits only above the Pittsburgh Pirates in the Majors. That’s probably not going to stay there. Over the amount of balls in the play the Mariners have put, the difference between their BABIP and the league average is a whopping 20 hits.

That’s something like 15 runs or so missing which is why you see the Mariners ranked poorly in runs scored and wOBA, but Qual above still has them looking okay. Give it some time.
The Astro’s hitters now have MLB’s highest BABIP.

Some reason for optimism for the Mariners offense.

At this point, the most likely candidates are probably the Rangers, Mariners or Mets, with the Pirates or Orioles as sleepers.

I'd offer the rumored package for Upton for Stanton and feel fairly good.

We don't want to see Giancarlo rot away.

The Mets aren't 1 hitter away from winning 90 games. Getting Stanton doesn't even fill a hole completely in the outfield. If Wheeler pans out, we can trade one of our other pitching prospects for a outfield bat.

 

[MiKeD]

Any update on the Tribe game?

Hey, didn't say they should do it.

 

[jakncoke]

Stanton, Marte, McCutchen outfield?

20 missing hits due to BABIP luck is the equivalent to 15 missing runs?

wat

 

[HarryDemeanor]

I'd love to see Stanton in a Dodger uniform. Ned really killed any chances of that with the Ethier contract and the trade with the Red Sox.

 

[McNei1y]

Make Axel Rod pay, Desmond!

Edit: Alright a run!

 

[lazybones18]

Axelrod....

 

[zulux21]

yay white sox, keep it going. at least tie it up here.

edit: woot tie game and I think the first actual rally that didn't involve home runs for the season.

He'll fit right in with a Rangers uni

 

[DUFFMCWALIN]

Trade Stanton to the AL so he can strike out looking to secure a WS for us.

 

[rando14]

LTTP, but we got Harang today? I dont follow him that closely, does he suck lol

Yes.

 

[McNei1y]

Come on Dan Haren... 3 runs is the limit.

 

[Tobor]

Come on Dan Haren... 3 runs is the limit.

So far I'm not impressed with Mr. Haren.

 

[bjb]

I don't ever expect Bautista or Encarnacion to ever be the same again now that the league is cracking down on HGH.

 

[McNei1y]

A Dan Haren double. wooooo

 

[Chuck]

tie game. thanks, Jonesy.

 

[lazybones18]

lolAxelrod

 

[McNei1y]

Thanks Mr. Zimmerman.

 

[sangreal]

fucking Ohio. Another rainout. I demand baseball

 

[Tobor]

That's what they get for walking Harper! Lol.

 

[Alex Anderson]

fucking Ohio

:\ yeah. i just wanna watch me some Yanks, mang.

*turns to Nats game

 

[Opiate]

I bet all you one team fans whose teams aren't playing tonight are super jealous of me.

Tonight's preferred results:

Browns over Red Sox
Athletics over Angels
Rangers over Mariners
Indians given free win over Yankees
Nationals over White Sox
Padres over Dodgers

 

[McNei1y]

I'm loving this top of the order so far.

What the hell are you talking about.

What, specifically, is complicated about that post?

 

[Rafa=FedKilla]

Have any of the teams updated their cameras for MiLB.tv? Some of them still used analogue it looked like...

 

[CygnusXS]

Feels weird to be scoreboard watching in April, but here I am. Go White Sox.

Just think about how awesome it's going to be when the MLB makes you come back in August to play a double header on one of your few days off.

CLEVELAND (AP) — Before Mariano Rivera answered questions from Indians employees he wanted to personally thank on his last visit to Progressive Field, the greatest closer in history had a request of his own.

“Where’s the drummer?” Rivera asked.

He wanted to finally meet the man who has kept a steady sports beat in Cleveland for 40 years, the guy sitting at the top of the bleachers year after year pounding away to spark a rally.

“Right here,” John Adams said, raising one of his drum sticks so the New York legend could see him in the back of the room.

“Hey, you the man,” Rivera said. “Being loyal, being there day in and day out. I really respect that.”

“Thank you,” Adams said.

During his final trip around the majors, Rivera, who is retiring at the end of this, his 19th season with the Yankees, is taking time to visit with team employees who work behind the scenes. On Wednesday, Rivera met with 25 Indians employees — ushers, ticket salespersons, custodians and others — for 30 minutes before the Yankees played the Indians.

What a class act Mo is. Amazing dude.

 

[cashman]

Mo is awesome, and so are fans like the Cleveland drummer guy.

 

[HarryDemeanor]

It's time for Dodger baseball!

 

[hemtae]

What, specifically, is complicated about that post?

Probably the fact that the Browns apparently suck at football so much that they decided they could be better at baseball

 

[Dominican Power]

It's time for Dodger baseball!

Time to feel despair.

The Baltimore Orioles, in a previous life, were the St. Louis Browns for about 50 years.

 

[HarryDemeanor]

Time to feel despair.

I feel pretty good about this one.

 

[CygnusXS]

Bryce Harper is good at baseball.

 

[McNei1y]

Bryce Harper is good at baseball.

This next series is going to be very entertaining.

 

[HarryDemeanor]

Crawford with a lead off single! Good start.

Mark Ellis with the flyball. Ugh.

 

[CygnusXS]

This next series is going to be very entertaining.

Have to admit, not feeling good about the pitching match ups.

 

[HarryDemeanor]

Kemp with the strikeout. Terrible.

HOME RUN A-GON! TWO RUN SHOT!

 

[Macattk15]

Well this game can't be any worse than the previous two.

 

[rando14]

yay career K 1500 for felix
