So the Twins fucking suck, but this rules:

Pfft, I'm supposed to be impressed by that speed? Ichiro is so fast he once stole first.

 

[Dominican Power]

Brandon Phillips acted like a damn fool before the game on a Cincy beat reporter for saying the TRUTH about Phillips' low OBP.

2 spot is the perfect spot for him. Please oh please don't go 'player's coach' on us, Dusty, and do what you should do to win.

Dusty is a fuckin' people pleaser. I hate people pleasers.

can't believe there's drama over the way puig catches fly outs

as a kid I remember copying bonds and griffey catching

until he drops one stfu

baseball is so pretentious when it comes to players showing character

He's obviously an asshole for not behaving exactly how people want rookies to behave.

I don't get it either. People are just looking for another excuse to further their dislike.

 

[matthewwhatever]

Two-run strike out!
Usually this sort of thing happens to the Jays, rather than for them.

 

[Windu]

gooo other team? braves losses = cheaper tickets.

Apparently the whole thing with Matt Harvey and his April 1st tweet was based on him talking to Roy Halladay.

"It just sounded similar to what I had," Halladay said. "I was talking to [Mets manager] Terry Collins, and he asked if I'd talk to him. We just talked a little bit about some of the strengthening stuff I did. Most every pitcher is going to have changes in the UCL, so once they get the inflammation down and he gets that second opinion, if it turns out that it's not something that has to be repaired ... it sounded to me that it's very similar to what I had.

"Really, it was a strengthening program we started during the winter, doing a lot of wrist and forearm manual exercises and some different treatments. ... So I just shared that with him and what I went through. [Dr. James] Andrews had told me that they felt like at some point they would have to go in and repair it. That was eight years ago, and I've never had an issue since."

If there is a difference in the severity of Harvey's and Halladay's tears, one pitcher might be able to get away with rehab while the other needs Tommy John surgery.

Harvey will get another MRI in two or three weeks, once inflammation subsides, to get a better idea about the extent of his UCL tear.

[turnbuckle]

fuck the cy young award if scherzer beats yu

Ok?


Per Baseball Reference:

Scherzer:

Darvish:

Per Fangraphs:

Scherzer:

Darvish:

It's a race between those two and I don't see how one could be so upset if Scherzer won unless they're blinded by his Win/Loss record and using that as a strike against Max despite his numbers holding their own. This isn't a case of CC versus Felix or something like that.

 

[Branduil]

Darvish's run support sucks so bad. He should have like 18 wins right now.

 

[yankeehater]

Phils have really been playing better since Charlie got fired. To bad they didnt do that before the season started.

Wow

I love how Dusty just sits there and lets his player be a fucking cunt.

Huhn? It's not like he took steroids, lied about it, and defamed an innocent man.

Hopefully, like the rat Keith Hernandez, the league will forgive Braun one day. Til then however, all other transgressions are not rendered moot.


How's Matt Harvey?

Harvey Spent

 

[Dmncnby2k9]

Def. going to Los Angeles Anahiem of Angels California stadium next year.

 

[Talon]

This is the only time in history that something is cheapest in LA.

Right now? Still better than any pitcher on the Brewers.

Thank god that, like Matt Harvey, I probably won't have to watch most of them next year.

 

[Branduil]

"Cheap" MLB beer is still outrageously overpriced.

Yes.

Seems like it sells well enough.

I'd wait 2-3 weeks before saying that.

 

[turnbuckle]

Nevermind, Yu gets it.

A's / Dodgers World Series. FML

 

[Square Triangle]

FUCK this Oakland team.

 

[turnbuckle]

FUCK this Oakland team.

We're just saving our wins for the playoffs, right? That's how it works, right? We don't want to peak too early....... lol

 

[Cloudy]

Even Sherzer can't stop the As

 

[turnbuckle]

Tigers have now given up 18 consecutive stolen bases without throwing anyone out.

I'm not even sure if the Tigers collectively have stolen 18 bases all season lol.

 

[Cloudy]

Avila was out a while but that's brutal

 

[Branduil]

I'm going to hate you so much Detroit if you lose 4 straight to the A's.

Well it's not like we have Pudge anymore.

 

[turnbuckle]

Well it's not like we have Pudge anymore.

Isn't he playing 1st today? Or was it third? Oh, he's pitching for the A's now.

 

[turnbuckle]

Avila was out a while but that's brutal

Our pitchers are pretty damned terrible about holding runners in general. Definitely can't put it all on the catchers. Whatever the explanation it's downright embarassing.

Just like this offense.

 

[Cloudy]

Sherzer already has 45 pitches

 

[eznark]

I'd wait 2-3 weeks before saying that.

Either way the clock is clearly ticking.

 

[RumblingRosco]

Def. going to Los Angeles Anahiem of Angels California stadium next year.

There's a fucking Anheuser-Busch brewery a few miles from Busch stadium and it's that fucking expensive? I knew it was really expensive at Busch, but didn't realize how it compared to everyone else. Cheap fucks. Doesn't stop me from buying beer and hot dogs and all sorts of tasty/deadly shit while I'm at games, though.

 

[The Frankman]

Wow Daniel Murphy playing like his job is in danger or something...

 

[Mr. Enigma]

In addition to Josh Willingham, the Orioles were also awarded a waiver claim for Michael Morse.

 

[cashman]

Fuck you tigres

 

[rubius01]

What the fuck Scherzer? And damn you Detroit. Can't win ONE game against the A's at home?

 

[turnbuckle]

Fuck you tigres

Maybe one of the worst series in recent memory. Just horrible. Go away A's.

I'm having a hard time remembering a 4 game series that was worse, especially given the talent on the respective teams. We must've been cursed by the Mest.

 

[Square Triangle]

Maybe one of the worst series in recent memory. Just horrible. Go away A's.

 

[otapnam]

FUCK this Oakland team.

FUCK last years bullshit first round playoffs away/home layout. We had the series if it went 3 in oakland first

 

[HarryDemeanor]

Oakland blowing it.

 

[Square Triangle]

Cabrera left the game after injuring his leg

Awesome.

 

[Branduil]

At least now Darvish can win the Cy Young.

 

[The Frankman]

Panicked, scared for his job Daniel Murphy is best Daniel Murphy.
