Blake Parker [expletive] sucks at throwing baseballs. How many more years do we have to watch him throw 91 out of the pen?

He's really not that bad. Pretty good, in fact.

 

He doesn't have stuff to make mistakes so I would say his "success" is a sample size issue at the MLB level. Relievers topping out at 92 better have some sick secondary stuff and he does not.

how many more times can soler get to third before god smites him with one if those broken bats that stabs him

 

We've already smited one corner outfielder like that, we can only hope the baseball gods don't realize that one wasn't actually any good at baseball

 

Castillo was the one who hurt Colvin.

 

At this point, I'm definitely behind replacing him.

Watkins sure is making the must out of his latest cup of coffee.

 

Urgh. I already saw someone today suggest Baez start at AAA in 2015 so Watkins could get a run as the starting 2b. I wish fans didn't make it impossible to feel good for scrubby players who get little hot streaks.

 

That's because most twitter fans think in terms of all or nothing. But if we were to trade Valbuena, and Lake doesn't stop flailing at everything he sees, he'd certainly be a candidate for a UT spot.

Let's not get carried away. So far he's only successfully harmed crappy players. That's a positive.

Neil Ramirez is easily the best PTBNL we've had in the past 30 years.

What a shitty strike zone that was for Starlin.

[Guest]

[expletive] YES! valbuena!

[d_money]

The sound off his bat made me look up at the TV - he spanked that dong good

[Agony and Ivy]

Could've used more bat flip.

seemed like the guy just made some really good pitches

[Gilby]

Still can't believe how many publications continued to rank Almora above Soler.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Valbuena's going to put up a 3-win season and half the fanbase is going to think he's an OK backup who shouldn't start on a good team.

Strikes 2 and 3 were low, in my eyes. Thought the same for strike 2 on Soler (which Jorge thought was ball 4).

Wouldn't be terrible if they were right in the end.
