Around Baseball 2014

[jaysfan2014]

Well, the O's need this win, as the Yankees lead the Royals 6-1 as we speak, as the Yanks lit up James Shields.

[FireAlexAnthopoulos]

Just one great month and........................back to the reality

 

"STILL IN FIRST PLACE!!!"

 

- Blind homers for half the season

[jaysfan2014]

Angels doing a terrible job tonight vs. the Fish.. Wade LeBlanc was garbage. Back to 1st place the A's will go (leading 8-2 now.. oh, and Stanton hit a deep HR at Angel Stadium.)

 

Mariners need to take advantage.. but are trailing 1-0 to Texas at the moment (good thing they upheld the Tomas Telis groundout.)

[jaysfan2014]

Jorge Soler coming up tomorrow.

 

Stats in the minors in 2014(3 levels):

 

.338, 23 2B, 14HR, 54RBIs, 33/47 BB/K ratio, 1.118 OPS

 

Next up, Kris Bryant.. this Cubs team is going to be legit in 2015 if they get some pitching.

If I told you at the beginning of the season that the Blue Jays would be 9 games out of first place in late August......*runs out of turd polish*

Not that it really matters but the Rays protest was declined. Jays officially get the win.

Stupid Maddon.

 

If their team was in play-off contention then it's not stupid to try as it has no consequence. You can argue whether they're actually still in contention but we all know what happened in 2012.

 

Edit: 2011?

He probably has a whole laundry list of reasons why he thinks Maddon is stupid. Not worth it to argue specifics.

Mariners extend Jack Z lol.

[BTS]

I don't know much about him but the Mariners are looking rather good this year.

 

They're winning in spite of him. There are only 4 players on the team that are league-average or better, and one was inherited while another signed a $240 million contract.

It's amazing what you can do with great pitching, a huge park and a pretty borderline s***** offense. Defense hasn't even been good but... There they are.

Felix and Kuma combining for like 12 wins this year goes a loooong way, especially with Young having one of the luckiest seasons ever.

We need a quick adjustment in the measurement of defense.

 

Peralta #3 and Crawford #11?

[jaysfan2014]

Tigers fans, like I was with the Jays last night, are probaly saying **** the Tigers, **** their pitching, and **** David Price:

 

2.0 IP, 12H!, 8ER, 1BB, 3Ks

 

Performances like this are going to cost the Tigers a playoff spot. And they can't afford their bullpen to get taxed.. they have a day game tomorrow (it's on Sportsnet BTW).

Cozart's had great D this year to compliment their strong pitching, but whether the Reds can continue to afford to carry a low AVG/low OBP defensive SS like him is questionable, especially with a near bottom ranked offense and a losing record, especially with several of their pitchers heading towards free agency in the next year, and unlikely to resign with the Reds.

 

Some Reds fans are comparing Cozart to Paul Janish, and that's not a good thing. Some actually think Ramon Santiago should be playing regularly.. but that would hurt their D.
