The Beeg suxxxxxxxxx AAAA fodder.

[Spanky99]

I wanted that Mancini dinger...

[Spanky99]

Grichuk anihilated that ball!!! Oppo Taco to boot.

[Abomination]

Man, so close. That would have made things interesting.

[Spanky99]

Damn, Jansen just missed it, a few more feet.

[Spanky99]

Man, so close. That would have made things interesting.

 

This deGrom/Hamels pitching match has been fun to watch. Sheeeeit, Hamels out now after this PH.

[Abomination]

Well, if you're gonna plunk Villar, his feet are probably the best spot to do it.

[Abomination]

Definitely out, good throw!

[vdubmvp]

Now this is much more enjoyable.

[tercet]

Remember when Gurribabip had a 450 babip in July and you guys all thought he was good at beisboll? bahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

[gruber92]

Grichuk looking good.

[P2F]

Borucki blows.

[gruber92]

Well, that train derailed pretty quick.

[Barkerscousin]

Back to Back wild pitches bring in a run

 

Wow, this is some pretty terrible baseball by this team.

It could be worse. Check out the inning the Marlins are having atm! 11 runs scored, and Benintendi made all 3 outs (DP and sacrifice bunt).

[gruber92]

Remember when there was thought of Tepera being a ninth inning man?

Pretty sure most of us didn't think that.

Not really this board, media types.

Morales has to be the slowest runner in the history of the game.

 

Grichuk on fire. I like him in CF next year.

[Barkerscousin]

Its been absolutely a crazy bad here. Grichuk is our best overall player now, 111 WRC+.

[baubau]

Grichuk on fire. I like him in CF next year.

 

He has had such a turnaround since his post-DL stint. Since June 1st he's hitting at 132 wRC+ but most encouraging is his K rate is down to 21.8%. Not crazy BABIP levels either at .299 which is around his career norm (.303). Overall for the season he now sitting at 111 wRC+, 1.3 WAR.

 

Not bad for Leon/Green. Diaz trade is even better considering J.B. Woodman got released.

I think Molina would give him a run for his money.

There's actually 8 players slower than Morales this year(not that your point isn't well made, he is slow as f***). 5 catchers, 1 DH and 2 1B.

 

Pujols is the slowest.

Bengie or Jose?

Yeah, but Pujlos' legs are literally broken.

[Abomination]

Bengie or Jose?

 

You could probably add both of them together and get their brother lol.

[Orgfiller]

Yeah, but Pujlos' legs are literally broken.

 

He says, while discussing the player who lost a year due to a broken ankle.

[gruber92]

I'm really enjoying Billy McKinney's approach at the plate. Seems like he can hold his own vs LHP.

[John_Havok]

Poor Gurribabip regressing to the mean, would have been nice if he could keep up his 450babip from July.

 

Remember that time I showed you the math on Gurriel in accordance with his exit velo and babip and he was actually unlucky, while at the same time you were on Travis' nuts during a temporary hot streak and I showed you his babip was incredibly high and unsustainable during his hot streak and then you tucked your dick and ran from the thread?

 

Good times.

 

Just gonna start calling you terdicktuck

Gurriel is actually underperforming his xWOBA by about 0.020. His batted ball profile is excellent, tons of line drives and he's rarely popped the ball up in his brief stint.

 

He's killed the ball like 4 times in this game alone.
