Not-So-Obnoxious Baseball Thread

Ugh. Same sh!t, different year. 3 run lead in the 9th, and they blew it. Axford didn't fool a single hitter. Looks like he was another one-year wonder. Grrrrr.

That one was hard to swallow. 1 inning blunder

Brewers were playing so good up until the 9th too. McGehee should have committed to the tag out at 3rd and that game would have ended at 6-3 Brewers.

The more things change, the more they stay the same I guess.

That and Axford needs to disguise his pitches better. You can see his fastball grip plain as day the second it is out of his glove.

 

[wolverinebrewer]

I know that was classic. Especially because since coming here he has proven the sportswriters all wrong. NY media ripped him as a poor decision because of his record hitting lefties. I guess Kevin Long knows a thing or two

He will be a solid player if he stays healthy. He fits better down in the lineup not leading off like he was in Detroit. That was moronic.

I agree.. I'm really hoping Ax isn't I one year wonder. I really want to like the guy!

 

[scubapoet]

PADRES.... To win the west this year!
You heard it first here.

 

[Bernie Brewer]

No doubt. The guy has some nasty breaking stuff. He just needs to hide the ball better so hitters can't see it coming.

I liked Axford. Of course I was rooting for the Reds. I wouldn't get down on him so quickly. Didn't he spend a large chunk of spring training recovering from food poisoning or something?

 

[xsists]

Yeah, he was down most of the spring.

Wanna talk about nasty stuff, Saito. Those sliders were insane!

 

[Prime]

Yeah that was no fun. I am waiting for Aroldis Chapman to get some work in this series. He is always fun to watch.

 

[Bernie Brewer]

Watching the Cubs-Pirates ATM. What's with Dempster's little glove-waggle every pitch?? He's been doing that forever and it drives me buggy. At least the Cubs are getting beat.

 

[motobrewer]

someone should tell the brewers its not 2010 anymore...

 

[xsists]

Bernie, don't you mean Dumpster's glove thing? Yeah, its annoying.

 

[Bernie Brewer]

LOL! Yeah, thanks for the correction.

 

[WildGingerBrewing]

And the Ranger's win their home opener! With the exception of a few bone head plays in the field, one being the first play of the game, we looked pretty dang good!

 

[xsists]

So here's to avoiding the sweep

 

[Bernie Brewer]

Yeah, Marcum looked real good, huh? Hope he gets better.

 

[xsists]

I think he was just nervous, when he settled down a bit he pitched better..

 

[WildGingerBrewing]

SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP....Let's go RANGER'S!

 

[xsists]

Alright, second time through the rotation should be better, I hope. Narvy looked pretty good yesterday though.

 

[Bernie Brewer]

Yes he did. The bullpen, on the other hand............

 

[xsists]

Apparently you just gotta have your starter go the distance

 

[Airborneguy]

Yeah just like the Yankees last night... jeez... thanks Soriano. CC puts up a gem then has to watch it fall apart.

How about Texiera finally joining a team before July though? He's on point this year.

 

[Bernie Brewer]

No doubt. I don't think the Brewers can count on a 2-hit shutout every time out, though.......... They better start scoring some damned runs.

 

[Bernie Brewer]

Well, this is much better! Above .500, into 2nd place in the Central, 1 1/2 games out. Maybe I will be able to watch the season with both eyes open after all....

There's a long way to go, don't get too far ahead of yourself...

Oh, absolutely. But life in the baseball world is much better than a week ago!

True that!!!!

Prince is on fire as of late too..

 

[MirImage]

Drove from Houston to St. Louis and Almost caught Gallardo pitching the shutout saturday. Still very happy they won and quite glad I didn't go see the Friday or Sunday game.

 

[smakudwn]

That Friday game was sure fun!!
