5/14 Bucs (Locke) @ Cubs (Jake), 1:20 CDT, ABC7

[BCVM22]

Not a game highlight, but Pat and Ron were discussing a very serious topic in the waning moments of today's game.

Gay biker facial hair notwithstanding, I would go with Nick Ahmed.

The Pirates trying to paint us as beanball artists, even though it means very little, is starting to annoy me.

"Greatness inspires envy, envy engenders spite, spite spawns lies."

[BigSlick]

Nick Ahmed...Jean Segura...even notoriously terrible hitter Billy Hamilton seems to always have a good game against us. (.311-.378-.492 against us)

 

I find Hunter Pence and Jeff Francoeur absolutely hideous hitters. I hate how Hunter Pence looks, I hate his stupid goofy style, I hate how he still hits pretty well despite it. Jeff Francoeur is an abomination to baseball, he swings at everything, has a horrific grin on his face, and he beats us every [expletive] time we play him.

 

These are my feelings.

Which is hilarious because the Pirates hit more batters than anyone.

 

2016: 15 (t-5th in MLB) coming into today

2015: 75 (1st in MLB)

2014: 88 (1st in MLB, 19 more than 2nd)

2013: 70 (1st in MLB)

 

The Cubs, meanwhile, are 21st (this year), 24th, 15th and 5th over that same span.

The Cubs are now the only NL Central team over .500 within the division.

and if they hate, let them hate, and watch the [wins] pile up

I dont want suspension or injury from Jake but I'm pretty sure if someone charged the mound vs him it'd probably end like Wilson vs Farnsworth.

I love him so much.

[TruffleShuffle]

 

Vin Scully is bad but he's still far from the worst. The Sox already have a ready-made worst booth to choose.

 

i think you're in teh same camp as me on this...i don't hate vin scully at all. i just think he's a senile boring old man as an announcer, and, for whatever reason, the whole baseball world pretends he isn't.

He's always been boring and bad. People in baseball love tradition and longevity, that's why everyone loves him. The Dodgers have basically had only 2 broadcasters since radio was invented, he and Red Barbor and that's pretty cool, but he's sucks and he's always sucked. A one man booth is [expletive].

 

wrong.

[Thusly Boned]

A little late to the party here, but I'm not sure how there can be a discussion of an all-hate team with no mention of A.J. Pierzynski. That hate will never die.

[Bote McBoteface]

I think you could talk Larussa into managing the all-hate team.

Five days from now is the 10 year anniversary of this:

Apparently Pittsburgh media is handling the Cubs' dominance about as well as Sean Rodriguez:

That hit and run show I believe with rozner. Later in the interview he criticized the Pirates for historically not retaliating when their guys are hit. I texted them with that comment about how the Pirates lead baseball in HBP in many of the last several years but they didn't bring it up on air
