Around Baseball 2015

If true someone needs to fire the manager. Some injury sustained in between innings is the only excuse.

[Atothe]

Calm down, it might be in case he gets in trouble

Indians broadcast showed him with the handshake and Allen's in the BP. He's done.

[Orgfiller]

The 20 strikeout game is 10x better than the perfect game.

 

Pure dominance >>>> relying on your defense.

[Atothe]

Francona will get bombarded after the game

[Orgfiller]

That's some ******** from Francona. Not letting your pitcher attempt to get the record is bush league.

[P2F]

WTF? I feel so cheated.

 

Unbelievable. f*** Francona.

[Captain Adama]

Harvey is f***in dealing, hasn't even been behind a hitter yet tonight.

[Boxcar]

Anyone see the call in the Dodgers game? Replay is broken.

[havok24]

Guys,

 

Francona was ejected in the fourth inning. Please direct your anger at the bench coach of the Indians.

Fire him on the spot.

7 IP 9 K 0 ER and Mets may be about to lose... lol

 

Edit: Yup, based loaded walk walk-off!

[L54]

Am I the only one who just saw Dickerson's throw? Just wow.

[Spanky99]

Great outing by Bauer thus far.

[Spanky99]

Hah, he walks Bourjos and Carpenter hits a dinger off Rzep!

What a joke the Rays are! Despite a winning record, fans are staying away in droves, even for the Yankees. So far this season, only 15,398 average are showing up in St. Pete, and dropping as we speak. For their "Top up the Trop" promotion, only 11,924 showed up. Do you think the fans are being apathetic and feel the team is headed for Montreal?

[Candy Maldonado]

pedostache Rogers in the game so early and gives up a 3run homer on the first pitch lol

STFU!!! Everyone knows, Captain Obvious!

Probably moving, but I don't know if Montreal is in the cards. Florida is filled with retirees who already root for their home teams. It's actually kinda neat when you find a bar/restaurant that is themed for a sports team that isn't native to the area. It's the only state that will have Phillies themed bars that aren't in PA or southern Jersey.

[RealAccountant]

A lot of people here would support a team in Montreal over the Jays. ^^

[LTR]

 

Usually you can rely on your pitching staff to get you some wins.... the Blue Jays not so much.

[L54]

Padres fans might be the worst in the league. Watching them play the Nats, Harper up to bat and some guy yells "they're only playing you because they're paying you!".

 

Ya, 2.5M to be worth more than your entire OF.

[L54]

Kemp/Upton/Myers- 0.7 WAR

Harper 2.2 WAR

"Twenty scouts were in Cincinnati to watch Johnny Cueto‘s start tonight, Hal McCoy of the Dayton Daily News reports. The group included high-ranking evaluators from the Blue Jays and Padres."

What do you guys think it would take to land Cueto?

[z3r0s]

I love Cueto... but too much.

[HERPDERP]

I briefly watched Cueto pitch yesteday..but is his fastball that slow? I saw a few 90-92's..I'm hoping that not four-seamer velocity.

Probably intentionally changing speeds, he hasn't really lost velocity, and K% still there

Why trade the farm for Cueto? We'd still have 3 more starting rotation holes to fill.
