Around Baseball 2014

2 on, nobody out.

 

What, you think the Yankees will walk the bases loaded with nobody out to bring up Kelly?

 

You seem to be missing the point.

This season makes me realize how little I respect the Tigers.

They are missing Jim Leyland.

Javier Baez with 2nd HR in less than 3 games, the kids going to be a monster Starlin Castro homers back-to-back. #CoorsField

They are missing Jim Leyland.

 

The Tigers are the spoiled rich kid *******s of MLB. There are teams who would ritual sacrifice their backup infielders to have that rotation, but there the Tigers sit like a privileged Bieber crying into money because they don't have enough room on their new yacht to hold all three raves.

Hurl you have like no chance to win this bet.

 

3.9% according to FanGraphs playoff odds.

 

Hurl offering ~12-1 or implied 8.3%

 

Stay away people!

Baez with 2nd hr of game

Which is why I would sell it for $5. How about Cleveland for the 2nd wildcard. Would you bet against that one? The Indians knocking the Jays off is the start of the Cleveland turn around and making Toronto the worst sports town. Indians make the playoffs thanks to another teams collapse, Lebron wins them a championship vs. Leafs two collapses in a row, Jays big payroll busts, TFC splash failure, Bon Jovi can't bring in the Bills! Join in the Cleveland Rocks movement.

 

If you win you can keep my jacket. How does that sound. It's already been corrupted beyond repair anyways

Pretty funny stuff

Eh, I'll pass.

Yankees get the Seligbrunner strike zone, of course their pitchers are doing well!

The Marlins' Dan Jennings just took a line drive to the head. It looks awful. Very difficult to watch.

He looked somewhat okay exiting the field on the cart.. hopefully he has a speedy recovery. Always scary

Without Edwin, Lind, Lawrie, Yankees offense >>>> Blue Jays offense

Jon Lester is perfect through 5 in Oakland.

Oh yes. Maybe the A's will win the WS and use the momentum to give Lester a new $120 M deal. Please?

 

Edit: our pitching ratios are silly this week.

Pretty please?

 

1.61/6.75/.204 lol. It'd be wonderful if our bats woke up.

Our whole line looks like my DDL team's season. This is neither bad nor good.

Your DDL team: .314/.377

Daniel Nava's career: .363/.394

I haven't the slightest idea of what you're referring to. I was merely drawing an example to illustrate the shittiness of your team. Why, does there happen to be a connection to Daniel Nava that I am unaware of?

So I don't know what the f*** was/is wrong with Billy Butler, but maybe he's coming out of it? FB% and ISO by month:

 

April = 21.3, 0.031

May = 24.1, 0.087

June = 29.3, 0.125

July = 30.6, 0.140

August = 35.3, 0.250

 

Since the start of June = 30.4 FB%, 0.144 ISO, 116 wRC+

Career = 31.8 FB%, 0.155 ISO, 118 wRC+

 

Maybe Country Breakfast has once again figured out how to hit the ball in the air kinda hard?

His average fly ball distance is up a fair amount.

Nice. It's good to see him just hitting fly balls again. For obvious reasons, that man is not going to last long as a singles-hitting DH. If it keeps up it will be interesting to hear what went wrong mechanically that had to be fixed.

PTI just tore the Tigers for their offensive struggles. And even with their strong pitching, they forgot to mention how awful the Tigers bullpen is.

What happened to Cruz? I guess the PEDs wore off?
