OMG Tampa getting shut out AGAIN

[G-Snarls]

Oh wait, was Wainwright. That's actually excusable.

What the hell is our excuse tonight?

None. We should have POUNDED this guy.

They are believing the hype that they can only draft when they have number 1.

Joey Gallo crushes his 2nd home run in his 2nd AA game...

 

Alert the feds, because I'm in love with this kid.

 

Gallo is a beast.

With a 2-2 count Kuma just struck Jeter out twice looking. Jeter walked. Looking forward to him retiring.

Oh hey, you're back, and I actually agree with you 110%. His strike zone is comical. Always has been.

Nats starters have gone 50 strikeouts since their last walk. 7 games, 49 innings...probably the most impressive stretch in history.

and Hicks leads off with a walk to break the string. 37 hits, 7 ER, 0 walks, 50K over that stretch.

Walking Hicks is tough to do

[Caper]

What is the record for most consecutive games (or innings) a team went without scoring a run?

Hurl with the kiss of death. Does this move him into Fatcow territory?

[Spoonovic]

OMG. Cespedes made the greatest throw I've ever seen to nab Kendrick at home.

 

Wow.

[HERPDERP]

A lot of ppl are calling it the greatest play of the year..but I'd prefer something more pure...he did botch the ball initially which set up the great play.

[The Cats Ass]

Well post a video of it guys! GOD

Well post a video of it guys! GOD

 

thats what i was thinking lol

[baseballsss]

Thanks. while it was an unreal throw, i wouldn't say best play of the year. He screwed up at begining making it look not that great

[The Cats Ass]

Ya, the screw-up takes away from it. I've seen better plays this year.

What you and a minor league baseball player do in the privacy of your bedroom is no business of the feds!

Did he jackknife out of the way both times? Oh Jetering, I'll miss you when you're gone (no I won't).

[8D]

Is it better than Bo's?

I think Bo's was better because he didn't mess up the play, it was Harold Reynolds running and I think Bo was slightly further but that depends on the park dimensions.

But that was a f***ing canon. What's the grade on Cespedes' arm? I never knew he had an arm like that!!!

[8D]

Dunno, in terms of accuracy I think they're both pretty on the money. Maybe Bo's was a little better beacuse it was a bit lower and more fundamentally sound because of an easier transition for the tag.

Harold Reynolds is also much faster than Kendrick.

I also think bobbling that ball a bit more gave Cespesdes a bit more time to think things through in his head, whereas Bo was just running on instinct.

 

Really, IMHO, 1A vs. 1B. Pretty damn tight.

 

Who has had the best infield throw? I still can't think of anyone better than Machado's at Yankee stadium. That was one nuts.
