Come on Morse, get a hit.

 

[clemenx]

28 innings played in 2 days and Hanrahan didn't pitch a single one. Genius.

He's staring the next game right? He's the freshest guy we got.

"Put the Rookie in."

"But Hanrahan is ready to go!"

"THIS ISN'T A CLOSING SITUATION!"

 

[ConradCervantes]

Houston, stop being so terrible, please. It's okay to win a game every now and again. Like tonight, for instance.

 

[Joe Shlabotnik]

Zambrano not happy about being pulled. Two years ago he would've strangled Quade on the mound. That anger management does work!

Oh man, that was the most amazing "I ain't even mad" face as he walked off the mound.

 

[jakncoke]

2-5 in past 7. feelsbadman.

 

[marrec]

Any other year playing the Braves to extra innings two days in a row would be considered a victory here in Pitt...

But not this year damnit, not this year. This year it hurts.

2-5 in past 7. feelsbadman.

Are you counting last night as two L's?

 

[Mr. Enigma]

Giants are dumping Pat Burrell to make space for Beltran.

 

[Sanjuro]

...runs.

 

[eznark]

Can he play second?

 

[Mr. Enigma]

Can he play second?

Sign him and find out for yourself.

 

[Lambtron]

The Rangers are scared of the Twins' pussy, slap hitting catcher?

[eznark]

Sign him and find out for yourself.

Same deal we gave the Braves for Nieves and you are on.

 

[ConradCervantes]

Fuck yeah! Axford with the team consecutive saves record!

 

[eznark]

YEAH BOY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[darkside31337]

Twins working that rope-a-dope, wore out those Rangers hitters after that first game and are about to take 2 out of the first 3. Just as planned.

 

[Macattk15]

Cust has actually been one of the better hitters on the team.

You are joking right? .214 average ..... .332 SLG .... his fucking OBP is higher than his SLG.

YEAH THATS WHAT WE PAY DH's 2.5 MILLION TO DO.

Only reason is OPS is near .700 is because of the walks .... but he still has double the f'ing strikeouts almost.

The guy sucks and you're dillusional if you think he is one of the better hitters on the team. Adam FUCKING Kennedy has a higher SLG than Jack Cust our meaty DH.

Regardless, Wily and Cust both suck.

 

[eznark]

oh my god houston. oh my fucking god

 

[ConradCervantes]

Ugh, I saw a slow-motion replay of Weeks' injury. His foot was turned all the way to the left, almost perpendicular to the leg. I wouldn't be surprised if he missed serious time now.

Don't worry, they put Pujos on his rehab team.

Everything according to keikaku.

 

[eznark]

Thanks Cardinals!


RRR on Weeks: "He's going to be out a while. It's not a couple of days."

 

[The Frankman]

Counsell at 2nd, Betancourt at SS. WIN!

BTW anyone here that owns MLB 11: The Show want to join the GAF league? We have an open spot (Yankees).

 

[eznark]

hahahahhaha

Pujols hot dogs it and shits the bed.

 

[Doytch]

On the bright side, eznark, the Cards are getting played a fool by the Astros.

Fielder for Reyes.

I'm watching. The Astros will screw this up somehow.

 

[The Frankman]

Fielder for Reyes.

What for? Counsell is perfect to play 2B. Why are you disappointed in Weeks being hurt? I mean Counsell is white!

 

[darkside31337]

The Astros don't screw up, they are in the Jose Altuve era.

Altuve starting his career with a 7 game hit streak. Dimaggio's streak is already dead.

A replacement spot or new league? I'm only just getting settled now so I haven't paid any attention to the leagues this year.

Astros gun fuck dis up

 

[Lambtron]

Now Bowden is saying it's a "multi-player deal" involving Span & Storen. One of the players better be fucking Bryce Harper or Stephen Strasburg.

 

[Fenix]

What is happening to Shields?

 

[eznark]

seriously pitching to pujols?

 

[Joey Fox]

You'll take Storen and you'll like it!

 

[Doytch]

I'm willing to bet that Jerry Hairston is in the deal.

What is happening to Shields?

regression's a bitch.

 

[Sharp]

I almost didn't regret staying till the bitter end tonight

Almost

Now Bowden is saying it's a "multi-player deal" involving Span & Storen. One of the players better be fucking Bryce Harper or Stephen Strasburg.

It'll be Storen and Desmond or something

Expect it

 

[eznark]

YES!!!

 

[darkside31337]

The Houston Altuves did it!

Pujols sux.

 

[Lambtron]

You'll take Storen and you'll like it!

No I fucking won't. Span is far, far more valuable than any god damn relief pitcher. Span is a great lead-off hitter with excellent on base skills and he's a good, not great defender in center. He's signed to a team friendly deal through 2015 and he's a fan favorite in Minnesota. The Twins do have a glut of center field prospects (Revere, Benson, Hicks, Morales. Arcia) but Revere isn't ready to start there now and has a horrible arm, and Benson is at least another year away. Trading away Span now is completely idiotic.

I'd trade Revere for Storen or Clippard, but I'd have to be absolutely blown away to trade Span.

 

[clemenx]

Holy crap, 10 runs.

Yeah but you are using nerd saber logic and everyone knows the Twins use smart old school grit and hustle and gut logic and they know Storen is a young proven closer.

Bill Smith is the new Omar Minaya.

Throw all your stats and logic out the window.

Yeah, shoot me in the fucking face

Spoiler

so that I don't go burn down the Twins front offices once this trade is completed.

 

[ConradCervantes]

Thank God St. Louis lost. Partially salvages this shitty development.

Weeks is done, fucking count on it. On the bright side, that single put him in the league lead for grit.

 

[bluemax]

.311 wOBA which is FOURTH best on the team.

98 wRC+ which is also FOURTH best on the team.

.347 OBP which is FIRST on the team.

I didn't say he was good, but he's still been one of the best hitters on the team this season despite sporadic playing time.

 

[darkside31337]

There's also the fact that you can be one of the best hitters on the Mariners team by being literally being replacement level which Jack Cust has exactly been this season.

 

[Joey Fox]

Yeah but you are using nerd saber logic and everyone knows the Twins use smart old school grit and hustle and gut logic and they know Storen is a young proven closer.

:lol

But anyway why would you not regret missing a four run rally that brought the tying run to the plate? It's the only thing that's making me consider heading out to the ballpark tomorrow.

He is NOT doing what he is paid to do. He is not slugging, he is not hitting homeruns, he is not driving in runs. How many times have you watched his fat ass watch 2 pitches down the middle of the plate go by for the called strike out?

I don't give a shit what his numbers are ... he is HORRIBLE. F Moneyball. F Billy Beane.

I hope he gets a cyst on his face.

 

[Sharp]

:lol

Because that barely missed home run by Nix was so fucking deflating. It didn't help that I was sitting next to a few groups of obnoxious Marlins fans (who I am pretty sure are the only ones within 300 miles) screaming at the top of their lungs.

Despite going 0-3, Cody Ross continued to help make the world a better place by trying to take out Phillies fans.
