Use that pen, Matheny.

Should've stuck with Maness. Choate isn't exactly a shutdown LOOGY.

 

[Talon]

Why the hell didn't Uggla swing at that ball? It was right down the middle.

At least the ump's consistently inconsistent.

 

[ReturnOfTheRAT]

The Braves don't want to win today?

 

[Windu]

lol cardinals

 

[Talon]

The Braves don't want to win today?

Finally!!!

We're still going to have 10 men LOB in this game, though.

 

[Runus]

Simmons finally comes through!

 

[Little Green Yoda]

Well, this road trip is starting off splendidly.

 

[Talon]

Man, plays like that remind you of how great Andruw was at center. Absurd range.

Ten men LOB thru 8. Yeesh.

 

[CygnusXS]

Thank you Jesus

 

[Talon]

Thank you truck driving, Viagra using, Rogaine buying, baseball loving Jesus

.

 

[Windu]

lol cardinals

 

[Talon]

Hell yeah! Braves shut out the Cards after a brilliant 2 hit outing from Teheran, despite leaving 10 men on base.

Going for the sweep with Medlen tomorrow!

 

[ReturnOfTheRAT]

Good job Kimbrel. I alone take credit for spurring Simmons on to come through.

Quick game too btw.

 

[CygnusXS]

If only the Braves could play this well on the road.

 

[Jubs]

Why couldnt this been the result last october?

 

[Talon]

I don't know who this clown is in the Fox studio, but apparently Craig Kimbrel only throws fastballs and curveballs.

 

[darkside31337]

Yankees suck.

On June 28, Rays were two games over .500. Since then, 21-3. Their starters in that stretch: 165.2 IP, 117 H, 32 BB, 121 K, 13 HR, 2.01 ERA.

Nah the Rays are just too good.

 

[ReturnOfTheRAT]

I don't know who this clown is in the Fox studio, but apparently Craig Kimbrel only throws fastballs and curveballs.

Matt Vasgersian
Greg Amsinger
Brian Kenny
Harold Reynolds
Dan Plesac
Kevin Millar
Eric Byrnes

Which one?

If the post-season were to start today, 3 of baseball's 5 lowest team payrolls would be in while 8 of the top 11 payrolls would be out


Clearly baseball needs a salary cap.

 

[Talon]

Matt Vasgersian
Greg Amsinger
Brian Kenny
Harold Reynolds
Dan Plesac
Kevin Millar
Eric Byrnes

Which one?

I'd recognize all of those dudes. Guy doing a Digger Phelps impression with a highlighter.

 

[Windu]

isn't that basically the case? he throws 4 seamer, 2 seamer and some type of slurve.

 

[ReturnOfTheRAT]

Cliff Floyd is there with Vasgersian at the end of the A's broadcast.

 

[Talon]

isn't that basically the case? he throws 4 seamer, 2 seamer and some type of slurve.

It's more of a hard slider, no? I've just never heard anyone refer to it as a curveball with regularity.

 

[Macattk15]

The Mariners were a mirage. The illusion is over.

 

[jakncoke]

Pirates need to win so bad today

 

[McNei1y]

I'm glad the Nats won but they really need to learn how to get base hits with runners on.

 

[Sanjuro]

 

[jakncoke]

Saturday game not blacked out, shocked

 

[Dominican Power]

Damn Peter.

 

[Macattk15]

Damn Gammons. Ice fucking cold.

But lol.

 

[jakncoke]

Damn this one girl in this baseball skimming comp has a nice fucking ass

 

[jakncoke]

A friendly game of cards at the All-Star game gave Cardinals ace Adam Wainwright some insights into getting Freddie Freeman out at the plate.

Wainwright, who teamed up with fellow Cardinal Matt Carpenter in a game of “pluck” against Freeman and Braves closer Craig Kimbrel in New York, asked Freeman if he were a pitcher how would he get himself out.

Freeman tried a little reverse psychology and told Wainwright fastballs away. So when he faced Wainwright Friday night at Turner Field? Freeman saw nothing but pitches in on his hands. He struck out three times in three at-bats against Wainwright.

“He didn’t do what I told him to do to me,” Freeman said Saturday. “I didn’t get one sinker last night. I got cutters off my legs. I can’t hit in, Adam.”

In New York, when Wainwright was asked about the friendly scouting report, the Georgia native said: “I always do that because sometimes you can get an answer. A couple years ago when I was in Triple-A, I asked Lance Berkman ‘If you were pitching against yourself how would you get yourself out,’ and he answered it. So two years later I was pitching against him and I followed his advice and I got him out. Now I always throw that question out there. Freddie almost answered it.”

Wainwright smiled.

“By telling me what he wants, at least I get something,” he said.

If the Angels didnt have Mike Trout, the Angels franchise would be obliterated

People in the comments brought up an interesting premise: If the Angels offered Mike Trout in a trade but you had to take back Pujols and/or Hamilton, how many teams would jump at that?

 

[yankeehater]

Sell Sell Sell

I would trade Jro and Ruiz but no one would want them.

 

[jakncoke]

We're going to lose the lead now

 

[cashman]

Rangers hitting worse than the Mariners
