Around Baseball 2015

Call me crazy but I'm not willing to give a guy with less than one season under his belt "ace" status.

 

But you're willing to give it to Ubaldo or Keuchel?

[Boxcar]

Don't be stupid.

 

not sure if srs

Which is why i used "ace"

 

there's only 10 or so true aces in baseball

[HERPDERP]

Sean Casey can still hit it:

Both those guys have had ace-caliber seasons before this one.

Homer #9 for Vogt.

Stephen Vogt is a catcher with a 204 wRC+ into mid-May.

And the Red Sox in a big hole already.. and considering it's a lefty and the struggles with their offense, the A's have a good shot at winning this if they can hit Masterson a little more..

Masterson is once again trash, now down 5-0 after giving up a HR to Reddick, sending his ERA over 6... and they need innings from him, with only Steven Wright really available to give innings and the rest of the bullpen needing rest after throwing 6 innings last night, including extras.

 

And speaking of that, here comes Steven Wright..

Vin Scully calling a Stanton home run is such a nice thing.

"He beat the shift", DeRosa is gold on the Network.

 

Also, Lauren Shehadi is f***ing gorgeous.

[intentional wok]

Wow, I did not realize the A's were 12-22. Huh. Wow.

 

I was under the impression they were keeping themselves afloat. It seems I need to pay more attention.

Plus differential. Pitching very well but losing a lot of one run games.

[Angrioter]

I dropped Ethier for Ryan Madson 14 teams league.

 

5-5 today with a dinger

Kazmir would look good in our rotation.

You think thats bad? At the last second I took him out of the lineup and put Yelich in. Derp

[intentional wok]

Kazmir would look good in our rotation.

 

And Donaldson would look good in their lineup.

And in the same boat, I thought the Twins were doing poorly. Yet when I checked they were a few games above .500, essentially better than us. Sad.

The Yankees hitting has been quite a bit better than I expected.

[HERPDERP]

Yeah I expected regression from CC and a poor showing from their offense.

 

But their pitching has provided enough for them so far and they have that elite BP.
