Not-So-Obnoxious Baseball Thread

Not having Joe freaking Saunders as the third behind the best 1-2 punch in the AL would be a start but alas that's not reality.

Yeah, because they've never had good pitching...

What does that have to do with my statement?

From what I understand it has to do with attendance. Atlanta draws more of the kids when school is out. Boston, Detroit, New York, Philadelphia, draw crowds even when it's cold.

Atlanta does draw better in the summer, but they also draw better on the weekends. So would you then just have Atlanta only play weekends? JMO you get the games in the cities you're least likely to have terrible weather in.

Nice, now I can get a salsa that will take a chip straight down the middle while Miguel Cabrera is looking.

He'll eat that salsa while looking at his triple crown and MVP awards.

And wash it down with a bottle of vodka before going for a joy ride without his World Series trophy.

Oh geez, jealousy is such a ugly thing

Two rings and an NL MVP, nah I ain't jealous, just ribbing the Detroit fans. I actually enjoyed watching someone win a triple crown.

A's got completely hosed. Melvin should get himself thrown out again today.

After further review that may be the single worst call I've ever seen in professional sports in my lifetime. Angel Hernandez is a joke.

Nothing better then watching to Ms put the whoopin to the Yanks.

Raul!

Iwa better slow down or he'll end up on the allstar team

YOu know I try to be upset about the Braves season, but if you told me Medlen would struggle, and Heyward, Freeman, and McCann would all miss major time, that the Braves would be in first in the NL East despite a super tough schedule, I wouldn't believe you

My Rangers are 1/2 game from having the best record in all of baseball. They are also 2nd, by a wide margin, in runs allowed with 143. And this is without our opening day starter and our opening day starter from last year. This pitching staff is incredible. They are 7 games ahead in the West and 11 games ahead of our biggest rival. I see the Rangers running away with the AL and another Rangers/Cards World Series! Tonight is Darvish vs Verlander. I can't friggin' wait!!

Rangers will be major contenders this year for sure, tonight will be a great game I think

You should have a good view of Verlander smokin all your batters!!

Verlander pitches tonight. I'll have a few from my couch. Of Darvish smoking all the Tiger batters! Not sure who is pitching Sunday. I guess I need to look.

Ms climbing to 2nd with another series win and over the yanks. 5-0-1 over the last month of series maybe the texas trip woke them up.

 

[WildGingerBrewing]

So much for the pitching duel of the year last night. Darvish had a crappy 3rd inning but pulled out of it with only 3 ER. Verlander gave up 6 (IIRC) in the 3rd, and was pulled after 2-2/3 innings. Oh well, a win is a win and I will take it. I still can't figure out why Washington let Darvish throw 130 pitches though. Hope that doesn't bite him in the ass.

Good thing Pablo Fatoval doesn't play for them.

Better WHIP and ERA.

And if he had the Rangers O he would as many wins altough 7 to 5 is not huge.

Best 1-2 punch in AL

No posts in awhile on the baseball thread. What is everyone thinking going into the second half? Pirates have to be ecstatic. Best record in BB and all. Yankees not so much. I'm a Tiger guy, I barely have the ability to watch a game beyond the 6th inning anymore because I know that they won't score anymore runs. Verlander has gone from must see TV, to how many pitches will he throw in the first two innings? The analyst insist that it's his fastball when in reality it's the off speed stuff. He doesn't have the rotation he had before the All Star break last year. Yes it's been a year since Verlander was exciting to watch. Prince Fielder is a joke, see my above posts. The absolute worst contract ever and the demise of the future Tiger hopes. I feel sorry for Fister, I have no idea why he never gets any run support no matter what club he plays for. Cabrera is an absolute joy to watch. I've never seen a better, smarter player.
