How was Henderson Alvarez?

 

[DevelopmentArrested]

that game was fun as shit. best feeling ive had about the jays in a long while.

so. awesome.

How was Henderson Alvarez?

pretty good. needs to mix it up a bit more - throw the changeup, slider.

 

[Dragon]

Gonzalez while hitting .350 manages to look so awful at times. Don't know why he doesn't walk as much this year either.

 

[Fenix]

How was Henderson Alvarez?

Decent, good movement and speed on the FB, but threw too many. 4 K's through 5.2, but you'd figure with 97+ speed he'd miss more bats.

 

[R_GILL]

Jays are probably in the best state they have been in at least a decade. I don't remember the last time they had both a farm system this strong top to bottom coupled with a major league team that does have a number of good players on it. Hopefully AA can transform the team into a contender.

He has never really been a strike out pitcher due to the fact that his breaking pitches are mediocre.

 

[Mr. Enigma]

Not a good debut for Vizcaino. All over the place.

yeah, this. 4:1 K:BB is nice, but 72% fastballs is...

 

[Windu]

Not a good debut for Vizcaino. All over the place.

nerves

that strikeout was awesome though.

 

[CajoleJuice]

comeback time!

Yeah, I know, his K/9's been climbing though, which is a good sign. Slider still needs a lot of work though.

 

[clemenx]

We got the Padres right where we want them!

 

[CajoleJuice]

fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck

 

[eznark]

not a game against the Cardinlols unless LaSaucea argues with the ump.

I read a quote from Alvarez today where he said that someone told him that the way you get outs at the ML level is by pitching to contact, so that's what he did at the start. Never tried for Ks. Kind of jives with what scouts say: that he has the stuff to miss bats, and they don't know why he doesn't.

Man the Rangers paid a lot for the two new bullpen arms who suck as almost as much as their old bullpen arms.

FACE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

lol I see our relievers are helping out the cards in that playoff push


Wow, that Rays walk-off was pretty awesome.

 

[CajoleJuice]

Did anyone else just see the end to the Royals-Rays game? Wow lol

 

[harSon]

Looks like we'll have to destroy the Brewers ourselves :/

 

[Dragon]

Good god. Ortiz just hit a 98 mph fastball to left center field. Had to be like 430.

 

[ConradCervantes]

Crown our asses, baby.

 

[eznark]

woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

 

[Sanjuro]

mhmmmm Ortiz.

 

[Lambtron]

mhmmmm Ortiz.

First donger that Perkins has given up all year. He's been a madman.

 

[Sanjuro]

What is this shit?

 

[Lambtron]

What is this shit?

Jim Thome ate a huge plate full of ham today, clearly.

Mother fuck me. I am going to be elk hunting in the middle of Idaho for the first half the world series.

 

[ConradCervantes]

I plan on going to at least one Divisional Playoff game, knock on wood. Organ will have to be sold on the black market for me to advance further beyond that, sadly. Damn shame; I'm currently 8-0 on the year.

 

[Macattk15]

There. You're welcome Angelfags.

 

[mjc]

Man, Miller Park will be bursting at the seams Friday night. Can't wait to get there.

 

[CygnusXS]

There. You're welcome Angelfags.

For posterity.

 

[Sharp]

Might want to edit that

Oh I see Cygnus made that irrelevant

 

[Lambtron]

Nathan is now the all time King of the Savers for the Twins. 255 saves. I really hope they buy out his contract for 2012 and sign him for a couple more years.

 

[darkside31337]

D-Backs will be in sole possession of first place unless the Astros muster 2 runs with 6 outs (not happening).

When are you other people going to start believing?

I'm believing now and forever

 

[Mr. Enigma]

I am so glad Selig got rid of that rule where the team with the best record got to pick whether or not they have an off-day between Games 1 and 2 of the LDS.

It was supposed to put more pressure on the Wild Card because presumably the team with the best record would have a better rotation, but then you have situations like last year where the Wild Card (Braves) comes out of the same division as the #1 seed (Phillies), so the Reds got fucked.

 

[Duane Cunningham]

Holy shit! I had to be somewhere for a couple of hours, and it was the middle of the ninth of the Royals/Rays when I had to turn it off. It was 7-3 Royals Wtf?!?

Whatever...


Corran u sending in a video for that Lincecum contest?

 

[The Elite]

Damn, why did I have to have a date last night. That Jays game was awesome. The Man-in-White favors Lawrie.

so. awesome.



pretty good. needs to mix it up a bit more - throw the changeup, slider.

Was he generating a lot of ground balls?

 

[Dmncnby2k9]

damn 5 straight Rays batters popped up to the Royals catcher. got 7 straight put outs. nice way to make your debut.

 

[eznark]

5 game lead on the division on August 11. Randy Wolf pitched out of his mind yesterday. Had it not been for men on base and no outs Wolf would have gone 9 and not broken 100 pitches.

What a fucking awesome month of baseball!

 

[rinse82]

I'm late but

LAWWWRIIIIEEEEEEEEE!
