I can't get the timing right on the super fastball. Do you click when his hat blinks, or right after?

 

I just try to swing right as he releases the ball. Just got a 2503

 

I’ve finally hit some, but nothing farther than 1200 feet

 

My high score was 60 I think

arrieta sucks

 

Arrieta dealing with bone spur in arm

 

Arrieta also hinted that he lacked a feel for his pitches during the outing.

 

It was a contentious outing for Arrieta, who hit three Mets batters, including Todd Frazier, then challenged the New York third baseman in his postgame comments.

 

"If Frazier's not happy about it, he can come see me and I'll put a dent in his skull," Arrieta said.

 

never change, jake. never change.

So apparently Francisco Cervelli just retired from catching. Not baseball though I believe

 

He’s had 6 concussions. Don’t blame him. Hope for his career that he can play an adequate first base.

Speaking of Gurriel, Yuli has been on a ridiculous tear too. Since June 23, a streak of 11 games and 49PA, he has put up a .400/.449/1.0167 line with 9HR.

There is pretty much no universe in which his bat is adequate for 1B though, is there?

You guys are talking about Cervelli right now, but sadly we might be having this conversation about Buster Posey very soon. He's hitting .253/.315/.378 with a bWAR of 0.1 right now.

 

He might move or at least play the majority of his time next year at 1B once their top prospect Joey Bart is ready. I don't think he's accumulated enough WAR to warrant entry into the HoF. I thought he was a lock a few years ago, but he's really fallen off offensively. He's only 32...

If you throw $10 on the Orioles today to win the World Series, you’ll win $50,000 if they pull it off

That pay off still doesn’t seem nearly high enough. Probably better off risking/throwing $10 away on a powerball or scratch offs.
