Around Baseball 2018

[Bobthe4th]

Huh, I thought he had a UCL tear?

 

No a grade 2 sprain, grade 3 sprain is a tear.

[Brownie19]

I feel like they're wasting his talent using him as a 2-way player if 2018 is his true talent level. A 140 wRC+ with 70 and an 80 arm should be starting in RF 6 days a week and putting up monster seasons without subjecting himself to the risks associated with pitching.

 

I tend to agree, although I would be interested to see if the league makes the necessary adjustments to him at the plate. Puig looked like he was a 150 wRC+ hitter his first 2 years too and now he's settled into a 1.5 - 3 WAR player. Ohtani was never expected to be "this good" with the bat so there's risk he'd end up being an average OFer instead of an ace pitcher.

 

There's no denying he's a f***ing stud on the mound. It's an incredible problem to have.

It doesn't help the SI article refers to it as a 'tear' and not a 'sprain'

Meh... all sprains are tears.

Mike Trout's brother-in-law, and former Angels' minor league player, Aaron Cox, has died.

This explains why Trout has been away from the team the past couple days, and why he may not be back tomorrow when first eligible to come off the DL.

Sad, so young, sounds like suicide to me.

[Spanky__99]

Dee Gordon of all people goes yard in a scoreless tie in the 12th, lol.

[P2F]

Urena just drilled Acuna with the first pitch of the game and Acuna is down.

 

He should get 10000 games for injuring that kid.

 

I guess that's one way to try to put an end to his leadoff donger streak

[King]

I hope Urena gets a lengthy suspension for that.

[vdubmvp]

Is he ok? I can't get the game right now.

[King]

Is he ok? I can't get the game right now.

Yes he's still in the game. Hit him in the elbow probably a nasty bruise. Urena can throw pretty hard too.

[King]

Now he's coming out.

[Spanky__99]

Urena's a bitch, trying to fight the manager, lol. Bush League s***, right there.

[Orgfiller]

Now he's coming out.

 

That's f***ing disgusting. "Oh hey that young kid is really good, let's throw a ball at him that he won't have time to get away from, hopefully we'll injure him. That'll really teach him a lesson!" What the f*** is wrong with baseball players, ridiculous behaviour.

[jays4life19]

If i was a Urena fantasy owner i would be sending him to the s***** White Sox for free this off season just to make a point.

[Dylan]

Embarrassing actions by Urena

[Captain Adama]

Umps saved Realmuto's life by tossing Urena. But I bet the Braves still roll out one of those cannons like Sobotka to drill him in the 8th inning or something and there is a brawl.

 

I'd rather the Braves just aim for Urena. f*** him.

 

Nvm, didn't know he was tossed.

If Realmuto gets beaned, Urena might get a punch in the mouth by a teammate, lol. Totally Bush, agreed.

[BTS]

Wow, Urena is a piece of s***. As if the Marlins didn't have enough to be ashamed about already.

[vdubmvp]

I love snarky twitter accounts.

 

[Abomination]

Freeman hit by a pitch too. Not watching the game, but given the pitcher is still in I'm guessing it wasn't questionable.

[Abomination]

Nimmo a home run away from the cycle.

[Brownie19]

I'd rather the Braves just aim for Urena. f*** him.

 

Nvm, didn't know he was tossed.

 

I'd love to see the Braves drill Urena the next time they face him. Like up in the throat area. He's f***ing AIDs to baseball.

[Brownie19]

Apparently the streak lives on. If you don't record an official at bat (unless in doing so, you record a sacrifice hit), then the streak continues.

Yikes. I wouldn't go that far.

Garbage baseball. Hard to throw one pitch and piss off two clubhouses so good luck Jose dealing with the mess you've made.

 

 

 

 

Brandon McCarthy suggests Urenas teammates aren't happy with him.

[Brownie19]

Yikes. I wouldn't go that far.

 

This isn't the first time this ******* has done something like this.

[King]

 

Urena says it doesn't make sense that he hit him on purpose because why would he wait 5 days just to throw one pitch.

I figured as much, right away. They have to wear the retaliation, over stupidity.

[King]

Mattingly got as close to saying it was intentional as you could without saying it was intentional.
