seems like every teheran start his pick off move gets questioned. Still hasn't been called on a balk yet.

Can't lie. Looks like a balk to me.

yep

 

[CygnusXS]

It's only a balk if an umpire thinks its a balk.

It's only a balk if an umpire thinks its a balk.

Only an out if Angel Hernandez can't see it.

Seth Maness has now pitched 10 innings in his MLB career.

He is 4-1. Small sample sizes can be so fun!

 

[The Frankman]

Halftime in the basketball game. So far Marcum seems to have better control than in his other starts.

 

[Opiate]

Another loss in the bucket.

I don't know why people think this Kershaw guy is so good. He has a 4.5+ ERA against us!

 

[The Frankman]

Buck with some terrible luck there. Ripped right to Francisco for the DP.

Chris Perez has deleted his Twitter account.

Lol he blocked me when they swept the Tigers in a series and he proclaimed "what can I say, good clubs when games".

 

[Talon]

Give me the Mets pen!

UGGLA!

 

[ReturnOfTheRAT]

BOOM

 

[CygnusXS]

Told y'all about Danny.

 

[Windu]

didn't think this song could be worse.

 

[Talon]

Point to the heavens one more time, Valdespin.

 

[eznark]

Man if you get a chance to watch Linfield College (DIII) and Chris Haddeland is pitching, do not pass it up. Kid just came in to lock down the 9th (generally a starter) and made UW-SP look goofy. Nasty stuff for a sophomore.

 

[The Frankman]

lol Barves pen.

 

[CygnusXS]

I miss you EOF

 

[The Frankman]

Ike Davis...

oh my god plz just hit it in the air.

 

[Windu]

sigh

 

[rando14]

Ike Davis...

oh my god plz just hit it in the air.

Look on the bright side, at least hes not BJ upton

LMAO THEN HE GETS A HIT

 

[ReturnOfTheRAT]

Damn it.

 

[ToxicAdam]

Not to get overdramatic, but that Indians loss today feels like the wheels coming off the season. One of those moments when you look back on a season as a point to where it all falls apart.

 

[The Frankman]

 

[ReturnOfTheRAT]

Damn shame.

 

[Vanillalite]

This many strike outs is going to catch up with the Braves over the long haul. :/

 

[CygnusXS]

Aw well. Bad night for Gearrin, offense didn't get it done. Whatever.

 

[Windu]

This many strike outs is going to catch up with the Braves over the long haul. :/

they will be fine.

 

[Vanillalite]

they will be fine.

Long haul averages say probably not, but I hope you are right.

 

[CygnusXS]

This many strike outs is going to catch up with the Braves over the long haul. :/

They lost tonight because of a shaky bullpen. Strikeouts don't correlate well with run scoring.

 

[The Frankman]

So happy to see Ike for ONCE hit a ball with authority and get cheers from the crowd

Spoiler

before he goes to Triple-A Las Vegas

. Good win to get one game at least, they should've had 2 of 3.

 

[Sanjuro]

How come BJ Upton doesn't play for the Mets?

 

[The Awesomest]

Why haven't you voted for this man to be in the All-Star game yet?

 

[Brashnir]

They lost tonight because of a shaky bullpen. Strikeouts don't correlate well with run scoring.

The trendline suggests that a 1% difference comes out to 2 runs a game. It amazes me that an analysis can show that graph, with that trendline, and then make the conclusion that it's not significant.

 

[Little Green Yoda]

You guys know that feeling when it doesn't matter if your team is down 5 runs in the top of the first, you still think you are convinced you are going to win? That's what I am feeling right now.

How do you feel when you're leading the Cubs 4-0 at home?

Seth Maness has now pitched 10 innings in his MLB career.

He is 4-1. Small sample sizes can be so fun!

Also another example of W-L record being a terrible judge of pitcher talent in said small sample size.

One of Nick Franklin's high school teammates tweeted

Jordan Strittmatter ‏@jstritt10 6h
Congrats to Nick Franklin on getting called up to the big leagues

Dear god I hope that is true.

Wonder when the Pirates are going to have this moment

 

[jakncoke]

Blue Jays have already used 24 pitchers lol

Free Game of the Day today is Angels @ Dodgers:

Has to be a record or near-the-record for most wins per innings pitched.

Also, come the fuck on Pirates/Reds, lose more games!

 

[CygnusXS]

Well, the very very weak correlation was the point there. The full article makes a pretty compelling argument if you read it.

 

[Windu]

Braves playing in Canada on Memorial day.

 

[EvilMario]

Fuck Lawrie. He can't produce anything with the bat and for every great throw he makes, he throws three balls away. And he's a clubhouse cancer. Somehow it's never his fault. It's the fans, the media, his teammates. Send him back to AAA, or trade him for a bag of potato chips.

Kawasaki’s post-game interview was great. Too bad no one in Toronto will notice it with Lawrie making an ass of himself.

 

[harSon]

Can we cut McDonald :|

Dude failed to make it out of the first inning in his rehab start at AAA..........

 

[Little Green Yoda]

Carlos Martinez has been sent back to AAA, presumably to stretch out as a starter. Matheny's mancrush Victor Marte is up in his place. There are rumblings that last year's first round pick, Michael Wacha, will be up later in the week to make his MLB debut.

Wainwright/Shelby/Lynn/Wacha/Martinez in the near future? Perhaps with Carpenter/Westbrook somewhere in there if their health cooperates.

How long will Lyons be up for?
