I was pretty out of the loop as far as news was concerned when in Japan so I missed that we got Nolasco. Looks like he threw a gem in his first game too.

 

[Dominican Power]

They should have Harang throw to the HR Derby contestants.

 

[Sanjuro]

Ortiz has KILLED us this series

oh well, back to dark souls

Believe he is now the all time hits leader at the DH position.

 

[brianjones]

Hanley

 

[NomarTyme]

Damn Dodgers wasted a good opportunity to add bigger lead!

 

[Doogdogg]

No, leave it to Hughes.

 

[Little Green Yoda]

I sure hope last night's crapfest of a ninth inning that forced Mujica into the game doesn't lead to an ineffective Mujjica tonight. He's been pitching a lot lately.

 

[perfectchaos007]

Does anyone else here besides me agree with John Rocker? ( on this issue of steroids and the steroid era )

"[Fans] are paid to be entertained. They wanna see some clown throw a fastball 101 mph and some other guy hit it 500 feet. That's entertainment. You're paying to be entertained."

-John Rocker

 

[brianjones]

ugh those lob gonna come back to haunt

I also agree with rocker basically

 

[rekameohs]

I like Paul Goldschmidt

 

[zychi]

I personally dont give two shits about steroids anymore. Baseball has never been a clean sport(gambling, pine tar, stealing signs, signing 12 year old poor kids to contracts)

The only thing i hate in sports is gambling. If you bet against your team or got caught fixing the game(black sox), then i have a problem.

No one cares that lebron james is on hgh, no one cares about roids in the nfl. I dont blame the mlb players for trying to win and stay healthy, i blame bud selig and the mlb for not implementing a proper roid test. If the comissioner is too big of a pussy to demand blood tests for his millionare making other millionares richer players, why should i care if fatass bartolo colon took some peds to stay in the game longer?

/end ped rant

 

[rekameohs]

I also like Martin Prado

 

[NomarTyme]

Ryu brought his F game today.

 

[RGVNOE]

I hate Descalso I hope that error doesn't come back to hurt them

Edit: Luckily it didn't

 

[KidA Seven]

Ryu brought his F game today.

You could tell from the first inning he didn't have his shit today. That's why I was so mad at the wasted offensive opportunities. Frustrating game today.

 

[KidA Seven]

Crawford and Punto continue their shit offensive production.

 

[Little Green Yoda]

I wonder if we'll get a real SS soon. Shoddy defense aside, DD has been on a tear with the bat lately. He had a really awful start to the season and his overall numbers still look respectable. Kozma's numbers on the other hand...

He's a dead pull hitter he's been lucky defenses have been playing him straight up, but I'm glad they have it's helped us win some games. And yea I hope they make a move for a SS before the deadline.

He hasn't had his shit for a while now.

 

[KidA Seven]

He hasn't had his shit for a while now.

Yeah, but he still didn't allow that many runs.

 

[brianjones]

he sucks on the road for some reason

 

[Dominican Power]

Yeah, but he still didn't allow that many runs.

That's because he was getting lucky.

 

[KidA Seven]

That's because he was getting lucky.

He was getting double plays like he had been getting all year. Besides, this is also on the road where he struggles.

 

[Macattk15]

Well holy shit. Glad I didn't watch this game at all.

 

[Dominican Power]

He was getting double plays like he had been getting all year. Besides, this is also on the road where he struggles.

He's been trash, end of story.

 

[KidA Seven]

He's been trash, end of story.

Not really. More llike Solid, but not dominant. This is the first time he's allowed more than 3 runs in the past 10 games. Like I said, he's been solid.

No way can you call him trash.

 

[cashman]

Then they should STFU and not make themselves and their players/products look worse. Have a drug test. Catch the dumbfucks who are stupid enough to fail. Leave the elite players who have the good PEDS and can pass a piss test (like Chris Davis, for example) alone. They are fucking themselves over all in the name of stupid bullshit grandstanding and catering to the tiny, tiny percent of sports fans who give a shit about the "purity" of one of the most impure sports ever.

I don't know if Chris Davis is user, unless there is a steroid that helps you make contact more often.

 

[rekameohs]

This has implosion written all over it.

 

[Little Green Yoda]

I don't know if Chris Davis is user, unless there is a steroid that helps you make contact more often.

His contact rate isn't too far off from his career numbers but his HR/FB has spiked this year. I don't watch the Orioles so I have no idea if there's a change in his swing/approach though.

 

[Meier]

Come on HanRam!

 

[rekameohs]

The King O Blown Saves

 

[rekameohs]

Oh, NOW you get an out. Fuck off shithead

 

[KidA Seven]

Thank you based AJ Ellis.

 

[Meier]

Ethier has been raking lately. Thought he'd knock in the winner for sure.

 

[rekameohs]

The good thing about extra innings at home is we can't blow a save there...!

 

[DUFFMCWALIN]

Calling it now, we are gonna sweep San Diego.

 

[Chris R]

Looks like I picked a great night to hit a bar and skip the Mariners.

Ugh, hoping to not have a similar result tomorrow.

 

[brianjones]

think its safe to say puig has cooled off a bit

 

[Meier]

think its safe to say puig has cooled off a bit

Bit of an off-night for him but in the 3 games prior he'd reached in 7 of 14 ABs. That golden sombrero game in the game prior was pretty ugly though.

 

[lazybones18]

when's the last time a Pirates game was on ESPN?

 

[Sir Alemeth]

Calling it now, we are gonna sweep San Diego.

I second this.

 

[rekameohs]

Withrow looks absolutely terrible and the hitters still can't do anything...

 

[sf2fanatic]

F#ck we still have League in the bullpen.


E: Dammit Hill with a great play!!! Saw him do the same exact play 2 Weeks ago in Reno..

 

[rekameohs]

Holy shit Hill

 

[sf2fanatic]

Puig better not end up being another Mondesi


E: HanRam!!!!! I C U!!!!

E2: AJ!!!!!!!!

 

[rekameohs]

Knew this would happen. G'night

Fuck Heath Bell

 

[brianjones]

aj has been clutch lately

need this one with crapuono pitching tomorrow and bullpen gonna be tired

 

[shwimpy]

Dodgers are at .500!

 

[sf2fanatic]

Finally at .500!!!!!!


yes!
yes!
yes!

 

[Heart Attack]

Grats Dodgers. The West is yours to win. D-backs just suck.
