Around Baseball 2014

Keith Law must have had a bad Father's Day or something

 

He must have got a tie.

[jb22]

Oh for sure he is

 

It just seems like he's just taking this thing vs Fangraphs (and Doc's choice in cookies) to an unnecessarily personal nasty level

 

Oh come on, the Halladay thing was clearly a joke lighten up.

Of course. I just threw that in there for humour myself.

[connorp]

Ouch!

 

Cameron tweets at KLaw, ostensibly arguing that 16 points of projected ERA makes Estrada a better option than Nelson. KLaw promptly puts Cameron in his place.

 

What is the story with Estrada? Is this guy the meatball king or what? I tried to have him in all 3 of my leagues to start this year as he approaches(d) a K/inning and 4:1 K/BB... so to me a good later pick... guy will not stop with giving up the HR though. I knew that was his minus coming into the year but damn.. every f'n game basically

Bard's career has hit rock bottom:

http://nesn.com/2014/06/daniel-bards-career-hits-rock-bottom-with-crazy-single-a-stat-line/

 

"Bard has faced 18 batters. He has issued nine walks and hit seven batters. In other words, hitters very rarely have had an opportunity to swing the bat. His two outs have come via a strikeout and a comebacker to the mound."

 

He's hanging out with Romero

[Atothe]

He's hanging out with Romero

 

He's worse

[connorp]

It may help Bard that pretty soon (if its not already the case) guys are going to be nervous as heck stepping into the batters box to face him

[G-Snarls]

Royals have quietly won 7 in a row

 

Dammit if they can sniff a wild card spot and decide to keep Shields.

[G-Snarls]

Damn, Royals are only 1.5 games from the DIVISION lead

 

WTF Detroit??? Take care of business FFS.

There was a time when people were pretty nervous facing him.

 

Here is the nastiest pitch ever. Look at the velocity.

I'd be pretty f***ing nervous facing Daniel Bard.

 

Mainly because I'd be terrified of breaking my skull on a 98 mile an hour fastball, though.

I remember thinking "was that a 99 mph change up". Its too bad his career had fallen so far.

Spanky adds a lot to gamday threads. We can't go without his 3 valueable contributions.

 

"Yur Dumb!"

 

"K"

I was looking at the standings today and noticed how much the Royals have caught up. I was hopeful that KC would tank and maybe we could get Shields for a decent price. It looks like Detroit is sort of coming out of their slump but they still are giving the Royals a glimmer of hope.

If Verlander was being verlander Detroit would be a no brainer... but he's looked awfully mediocre so far...

It's official Matt Weiters is done for the year as he will have to have reconstructive surgery on his UCL.

9 month recovery process for TJS for a catcher. He'll be back by Spring Training. Potentially big blow for the O's in their hopes in making a playoff run, considering they're fighting the Jays and Yankees, along with the Angels and Royals for a spot.

That sucks....for the Orioles.

What's everyone watching tonight? I'm going to flip between the Sox/Twins and Rays/Baltimore.
