    Wow. That's the weakest sucker punch I've ever seen. Sauce - I've thrown some sucker punches in my life.

    Name one thing Buck gets right consistently.

    I was out last night and missed this no-hit bid. I thought I'd share this story....something I'd never heard until an old guy at our baseball game was telling me about it last week. http://m.mlb.com/cutfour/2015/05/26/126504134/harvey-haddix-threw-12-perfect-innings-and-lost Pretty incredible - especially since the Braves were stealing his signs all game long. Another interesting part of the story is that the Braves pitcher, Lew Burdette threw all 13 innings that night to get the win. Another interesting story I found was this one "On July 2, 1963, Juan Marichal pitched a 16-inning shutout against the Milwaukee Braves, outdueling Warren Spahn, who pitched 151/3 scoreless innings before Willie Mays won it 1-0 with a home run. Marichal threw 227 pitches; Spahn threw 201. Spahn was 42 years old, Marichal was 25"

    Jason Kendell was more valuable as a catcher than Yadi Molina's been. I think we'd all be ecstatic if Jansen was 1/2 the catcher Kendell was.

    Reese McGuire hitting? Wowsers. That is unexpected. I guess even a broken clock is right twice a day.

    I apologize if this has been posted already. http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/justin-smoak-explains-his-own-breakout/

    I wasn't on all weekend, but crept in this morning to see what the carnage looked like after the Jays blew it yesterday. Didn't see any GTD and had no idea what was going on. Guess the board melted down as bad as Osuna.

    I had to click on the previous page to see what all this awesome slut shaming was all about......only to realise it was my posts. Awesome.

    Dexter Fowler got hot and not longer sucks. 120 wRC+ and 2 WAR on the year.

    August has 5 weeks this year, next week will be the 4th of 5 - that qualifies as "late" to me....and that is all predicated on how his side session goes. I love ya, but you're grasping.
  11. Brownie19
    um. Late August is a little subjective. It's not the most outrageous fake news I've read.
  12. Brownie19
    prefers guys who can handle the wood obviously. Handle the big stick.

    I suspect that's not the first time she's taken a massive facial like that.

    My bad. I just saw the 4 year contract on fangraphs that expires this year. I'd love to know what the cost is to acquire him. I agree that he wouldn't come cheap.
  15. Brownie19
    My favourite threads all season. I know I can look up the stats myself, but it was really nice to have it all right here with a little commentary from the board. I know it took a lot of effort and thanks to Twisted for doing it when he did.
  16. Brownie19
    I wouldn't mind signing him this offseason somehow.
  17. Brownie19
    Just huffin' dongs 24/7 to earn his promotion.
  18. Brownie19
    Interesting to hear. I love that approach and I'm surprised more ML pitchers (especially ones with control problems) don't utilize it. I made the switch personally about 3 years ago and now only pitch out of the stretch and I love it. Here are the stats/report for anyone who's curious Glasnow, who has compiled a 7-0 record with a 1.57 ERA, 0.99 WHIP and 103:26 K:BB in 68.2 Triple-A innings since a demotion to the minors, has pitched exclusively out of the stretch for Indianapolis, Pirates Prospects reports.

    It's just you.

    He's like the 2nd or 3rd best catcher in baseball man. Nobody should have expected him to repeat the wRC+ of 170
  22. Brownie19
    Wat?
  23. Brownie19
    Of the 13 qualified DH's in the AL, only 4 have a wRC+ over 102 and a WAR > 0.1. It's pretty damn bleak out there. I realise it's not that easy, but I think based on this, teams would be willing to take a look at him.

    Reyes always had a rocket of an arm sir.
  25. Brownie19
    I generally would agree, although I could cite Jose Reyes as a SS who's defense fell off a cliff as he aged. Similarly, I could cite Jim Edmonds, who's defense in CF was consistent throughout his career - almost improving to a peak at age 35. There are always exceptions to the rule (like Tulo).
