The Giants suck.

 

[endresults]

Erik Kratz just got PUNKED. Amazing.

 

[jakncoke]

Down to gaby, we're fucked

3-20 pinch hitting with 5 rbi...

IBB gaby, going after pressley

 

[Chuck]

Jim Johnson has been pretty good for the last month and a half.

He's not consistent enough to be labeled and positioned as the closer anymore. Tommy Hunter or Darren O'Day deserve it and have shown they can handle it.

 

[jakncoke]

Really...

Fucking swept

Disgusting

 

[Dominican Power]

I smell a collapse brewing.

 

[Chuck]

ok, Jimmy can come in and close it out now.

LOL, Orioles fan in a kayak in McCovey Cove

 

[harSon]

I smell a collapse brewing.

Thank God you said that. Every time you've mentioned it, we've gone on a tear.

 

[Syrinx]

Maybe. Keith was mentioning that it could be a career-ending injury.

Can you even walk with that kinda injury? I'd think it'd be a hard path simply to get to that point, let alone play baseball. I hope he can though. It's kinda cool to watch guys overcome injuries like those.

You can't walk, no. It's tough. Think about when someone dislocates a shoulder. That shoulder is now susceptible to dislocating much more easily going forward. The hip is a much larger ball-and-socket joint than the shoulder, and has a lot more pressure and force put on it on a regular basis.

How's this for a stat?

From Elias: Mariano Rivera is the 1st Yankees pitcher to blow 3 consecutive save chances, with each coming in the 9th inning or later since John Wetteland did so August 6-11, 1995. Coincidentally, one of the games (August 10 against the Indians) was started by Mariano Rivera.

Full circle.

For his part, Mariano said:

"To Martinez, that ball was just laying right flat up. And also with Miguel," Rivera said. "You're facing professional hitters. If you don't put the ball where you need to, you're going to get hit."

O's win c:

 

[brianjones]

mets winning again ?

Good job guys

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Who wins The NL MVP? Goldschmidt, Cargo, Votto, McCutchen(2nd highest WAR in NL), Gomez(highest WAR in NL)

Kershaw probably deserves it lol but if the Pirates make the playoffs McCutch most likely gets it.

mets winning again ?

Good job guys

You're next.

 

[The Frankman]

Tapper right back to Hawkins, he makes the flip AND THE BALLGAME IS OVER!

Jon Niese guts through his1st start off the DL, Andrew Brown hits a big 3-run HR and WIlmer Flores goes 2-4 with his first ML home run as the Mets win 9-5 and take 2 of 3 from the D-Backs!

mets winning again ?

Good job guys

 

[darkside31337]

Maddon throwing a crazy lineup out tonight, pitcher batting 8th, myers batting 2nd, every hitter being a righty tonight. I dig it.

 

[Syrinx]

I wonder what the Mets are going to do with Flores moving forward. He hasn't been terrible at third base, but obviously that spot is filled for the foreseeable future, and I don't know what other positions he can play. The guy can hit, but do the Mets have a spot for him?

Shortstop would be my guess.

why is ESPN all of a sudden pushing Freddie Freeman for MVP?

They figured he must be one of the most popular players in baseball after he beat Puig in the ASG poll.

Braves have the best record in baseball, so they're the only team that matters to ESPN.

 

[CriginsMcJuggs]

Strasburg 99 pitch CGSO

 

[HarryDemeanor]

You're next.

 

[Dominican Power]

I hate ESPN's shitty camera angles.

 

[weekend_warrior]

I'd say there's about an 80% chance the rays get no-hit tonight.

 

[HarryDemeanor]

Perfect game ruined.

 

[DietRob]

As a fan of pitching and in particular left hand pitching it's really fun to watch Kershaw when he's not throwing to the Reds.

 

[CygnusXS]

ESPN* wouldn't know actual analysis if it punched it in its face.

*SweetSpot Blog network, Grantland, and Keith Law excluded.

What a weird thing to say...

 

[CygnusXS]

What a weird thing to say...

Not if you're left-handed.

 

[NomarTyme]

Great bunt by Uribe.

 

[HarryDemeanor]

You have Uribe bunt with Dee on deck.

What?

 

[DietRob]

What a weird thing to say...

Eh, both of my nephews are lefties and I'm constantly throwing with them.

 

[NomarTyme]

You have Uribe bunt with Dee on deck.

What?

Damn he suck deeznutz.

 

[HarryDemeanor]

KERSHAW SAYS FUCK IT I'LL DO IT MYSELF

 

[NomarTyme]

lmao only Kershaw can win it for Kershaw.

Grienke and Kershaw are great hitters....

 

[brianjones]

based kersh

 

[KidA Seven]

Based Shaw

 

[Enron]

Strasburg is a machine. Kinda feel sorry for that dude, stuck on a team with no offense.

 

[darkside31337]

Pathetic.

 

[Fenderputty]

Who was saying the national league does it wrong with pitchers hitting? Heh

 

[weekend_warrior]

Not if you're left-handed.

I'm left handed, still a weird thing to say.

 

[CygnusXS]

I'm left handed, still a weird thing to say.

Maybe you're the weird one?

 

[NomarTyme]

Goddamn I thought Mark hit that one out.

 

[darkside31337]

Well at least I don't have to watch a bullpen implosion tonight. Thanks for freeing up a few hours.

 

[CygnusXS]

Who wins The NL MVP? Goldschmidt, Cargo, Votto, McCutchen(2nd highest WAR in NL), Gomez(highest WAR in NL)

Right now, I think McCutch has the best (BBWAA-friendly) case. But it will depend a lot on how the next two months go.

 

[HarryDemeanor]

Dammit Dee.

Hanley please come back soon.

 

[The Frankman]

Shortstop would be my guess.

His D is not good, it's either 2nd or 1st. However with the way Ike is looking it's probably 2nd.

 

[sangreal]

Glad the Yanks pulled it out, but I was at the game today and it was so disappointing seeing Mo blow another one.

All the people stopping in Manhattan to heckle me for the arod jersey made up for it though
