Around Baseball 2015

[P2F]

26 years old, Status: VETERAN, lol.

 

Wasn't there a guy on the old board that liked him? Was it Grant?

 

A lot of people on the board liked him at one time.

[King]

Nestor Molinas 2011 season was really something

[King]

I'll try to see him pitch when Joplin comes to the 'Peg in early June

[P2F]

Daniel Hudson is making his first start in almost 3 years.

 

He's only expected to throw 50-60 pitches, but so far he's looked nasty. 4 Ks through 2 IP. Sitting 94-95 MPH.

You bastard, he would be on your BBDL squad. Though I guess you need the help after hearing the unfortunate news about Parker . Sorry man

I could afford to roster him for the past year since I wasn't competing anyway lol.

 

It's just a spot start, but he looks great so far.

Pineda...

You can hear a pin drop at the Royals-Tigers game.

I really enjoy listening to Schilling on ESPN.

Bit of an oddity I just noticed with the Red Sox re: HanRam.

 

So far this season, he has 10 HRs.. but ZERO doubles. Did he lose his speed, or is he just trying to hit HRs all the time? It's one of the many problems that plague the Red Sox, excluding yesterday's win.

They're an all or nothing team.. since they don't hit many XBHs(last in the AL in doubles), they basically have to hope for a ton of walks(#1 in the AL) and clog the bases. Combined with the lousy pitching, it's no wonder they're at the bottom of the AL. And they don't hit lefties.. and guess what? They face two in Oakland(Kazmir, Pomeranz), and two more in Seattle(Happ, Paxton), and of course, King Felix on the weekend. For some reason, I can see them falling further in the standings.. the only reason they won yesterday was Dickey being garbage, and Martin not playing.

And now their gunna go and tear the AL a part.

Green Monster gives a lot of HR and takes away a lot of doubles.

Not Baseball related but Brady as been suspended 4 games for "deflategate".

Patriots fined and lose 1st and 4th round picks.

And takes away HanRam's average (.200/.288/.467). Someone is really screwing up his swing or telling him to pull everything..

From what i read it is just a rest day for the shoulder and gibby thought today would be a good time because he has done s*** against Ubaldo

HanRam has also produced a negative WAR so far (-0.1)

Has there been any progress with his shoulder or is he toast for the foreseeable future?

f***ed if i know

[S33n]

Gibby said the day off was mostly because Bautista is 2/29 lifetime against Ubaldo.

Main reason Bautista not playing tonight, according to Gibbons? He's 2-29 lifetime vs Jimenez. Also expedites healing shoulder. #BlueJays

Opposite. Green Monster is the best doubles park in the league for RH hitters. Lot's of flyouts turn into doubles.

i thought this was common sense. from what I remember fenway isn't even a homer friendly park, it's actually below league average. it's the doubles off the wall that turn it into a hitters park

Exactly. Someone, possibly Chili Davis, has messed up HanRam, and every other hitter on the Red Sox except for Sandoval. The only good player on that club is Mookie Betts..

And by messed up HanRam you totally mean making him hit a meager 140 wRC+ with a .221 BABIP right?

Poor Vin Scully is having a hell of a time with Hechavarria's name.

You would do well to put him on your ignore list. All of his posts are like that

[fatcowxlive]

Guys guys guys, guess who had another 5 hit game (5-5)?
