if you're going to put it on your neck at least have a neckbeard.

Josh Johnson to have TJS after throwing 0 pitches for the Padres.

Arizona's starters are hide-your-eyes bad. ERAs:

 

Bolsinger - 13.50

Delgado - 11.05

Arroyo - 9.50

Cahill - 9.17

Collmenter - 6.30

McCarthy - 6.23

Miley - 4.50

This logic is hilarious. Go ahead and do it, just hide it a bit better.

 

The logic is pretty sound given the context of the game. I mean, unless we're pretending like pitchers need sunscreen and [expletive] for night games and all of those other types of shenanigans are cool. They're all pretty much doing some version of this.

Does he not have teammates or coaches that see this, and can tell him to hide it better?

Or do they all hate him and say screw it?

I mean this is twice that "stuff" was easy to see and they just let him keep trotting out there.

Maybe cameras picked it up more easily than the naked eye.

We're making this guy look like Tom Seaver right now.

Possible,

both times it looked pretty obvious but who knows what it looked like in person.

Also, after just having everything put out there last time around, why wouldn't you just not cheat for a couple starts?

Josh Donaldson has turned himself into a nice player

And I picked a few Cubs in Draft Day thinking they would crush him.

@sportslogosnet: The AL West team caps spell out "ASSHAT" when arranged properly.

A lot of guys think anybody can pitch the ninth–especially sabermetrics guys who come up with a stat for everything. They think everybody can pitch the ninth inning, but, for some reason, those last three outs aren’t the same.

Not just sabermetric guys, Kevin, but also managers before the 1970s.

[Gmoney08]

Cole clearly cussed him out and just walked off without looking back and acknowledging his reaction, while Travis Snider walked up and got in his face and talked [expletive] to him

 

Gomez is a nut. I wish Cole would have just tagged him out as Gomez started to approach him.

Somebody needs to ask Kevin why the teams playing the Cubs never have any trouble.

Hawk broke out the "TWTW" last night for the first time this season (to my knowledge) referring to Ben Zobrist. When is the rest of the league/announcers/analysts gonna catch on.
