[Orgfiller]

Also, if you thought the Satnton HR was long, look at Salty's. Absolutely mammoth!!

Edit: I can never get the links right. I hate the way mlb.com links them.

 

Holy crap that one was crushed!

For those wanting MLB sexyness to fap to:

 

Cespedes 2 RBI single

Alberto Callaspo 3 run jack

Josh Reddick 2 run shot

Cespedes solo bomb

 

Fap away people!

[Dylan]

Just saw the transfer call from the Mariners game. How frustrating

[Dylan]

Anyone tuning into the dbacks/dodgers game?

 

2-2 bottom of the 10th, 1 on for dodgers, 2 outs

[S33n]

Yes. Why are Dodgers games always so good?

I've been enjoying the extra innings games lately. I'm up anyways, nice to have them on in the background

 

Going to 12!

[Dylan]

Huge 2 run single for Hill, dbacks up 4-2!

Holy s*** this is an interesting infographic:

Weird coincidence.

 

Very. 3 stats, although cherry picked, the exact same value on their 31st birthday

I'll take Hank any day... Miguel is fat and slow, stats won't compare in 5+ years.

Idk about that but Hank Aaron dispute what Anemic thinks is a treasure

[flafson]

Can't believe that Miguel is only 31, he looks much older than that.

Alcoholism and Obesity will do that.

Blue Jays xxFIPs:

 

Morrow 3.33

Buehrle 3.73

Hutchison 3.87

Santos 2.67

Loup 2.77

Rogers 3.81

Wagner 4.17

Delabar 4.54

Redmond 4.71

 

Pitching has mostly been decent

[Abomination]

Maldonado literally hits the cover off the ball:

[Angrioter]

Bryce Harper was taken out of the game because he didn't hustle to first base

[jaysfan2014]

Rangers #4 prospect Luis Sardinas has been called up because of Jim Adduci going on the DL. But aren't they rushing him?

[jaysfan2014]

True. Just doesn't make sense. Problem is, they'd have to DFA someone to get someone like Lillibridge or Rosales on the roster, and their farm isn't that strong in AAA.

[TheHurl]

Holy s*** this is an interesting infographic:

 

 

Honestly I'm shocked that Aaron was that good at that age

[TheHurl]

Very premature, he's been s*** at AA.

 

meh...his future was and is in his D and speed. Not like that needs that much maturity.

[TheHurl]

Not sure if this was posted. Delino Jr. after getting hit with a fastball

 

[Candy Maldonado]

Is the ball in his mouth?

holy f***. that's no exaggeration.

 

 

edit: btw, a guy the jays loved and was heavily rumored to take first in the '10 draft.

but i remember like a week prior to the draft, media reports, especially from toronto were all over how the jays love this guy.

i think cito openned his mouth saying all the rumors were true about it, lol.

then astros go out and pick him very early - earlier than they were planning when they heard other teams were interested in him as much as them.

[G-Snarls]

Nova getting rocked again. Nothing wrong with that!

Nova could have a serious injury in his throwing arm, looks like shoulder.

Ah s***, you're right. pulled in the 5th after giving up 4HR and allowing 8 runs.

 

Wonder how serious?

[jaysfan2014]

Oh boy.. that could be devastating for the Yankees, who have little depth beyond 4 of their starters (Tanaka, Pineda, and an aging/declining Kuroda & Sabathia). Warren and Phelps are needed in their thin bullpen, and Nuno got lit up in his last appearance (7ER vs. Baltimore last time, and hasn't pitched in 11 days. Why isn't he in AAA??).

 

And don't ask for help in SWB.. most of their starters are minors vets like Billings, Gordon, Leroux, and non-prospects Cotham, Whitley and Stoneburner. Banuelos, BTW, is still rehabbing from TJS.

He looks like those selfies people take on Mac's.

[jaysfan2014]

14-1 Rays. Didn't the Jays have a few of these games last year?

[walkoff93]

Man that NY/ Tampa game is a train wreck for the Yankees...14-1 Rays after 6 innings
