  1. nah, hechavarria would've grounded into a double play. the marlins lucked out because now their pitcher doesn't have to lead off next inning.
  2. bryant seems to have left his power in the first half and/or san diego.
  3. Like Baker and Piniella before him... http://www.lolshouse.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/0496-computer-addiction.jpg
  4. The ol' Jon Lester two strike suicide squeeze bunt in the 12th inning. Best part is, they never see it coming.
  5. lackey? he threw only 84 pitches on thursday. probably wouldn't hurt for him to throw an inning or two.
  6. Jason Kendall had terrific speed when he was younger. He had many 20+ SB years. Pudge Rodriguez was really fast too. It has to be either Matt LeCroy or Ernie Lombardi. craig biggio was a catcher for a few years and he was really fast.
  7. lol at that wild pitch on gameday. http://i.imgur.com/dHluiXI.jpg
  8. i feel like our july performance with RISP has been horsefeathering abysmal.
  9. well, at this rate we don't really have to worry about him opting out after 3 years.
  10. eloy's ranks in the MWL: 2nd in batting average 9th in OBP 1st in SLG 1st in OPS 2nd in hits 9th in runs 1st in doubles 1st in home runs 1st in RBI good chance he will win league MVP as a 19 year old in full season ball. if those reports about the yankees getting a choice of eloy or gleyber, i'm super glad they took gleyber.
  11. albertos was shut down for "precautionary reasons"? precautions against what? do we even know what the injury or issue was in the first place?
  12. hey remember when we claimed turner on waivers and were really excited about it?
  13. cubs gameday person going full troll; they just noted that ranaudo has as many wrigley field home runs as heyward this season.
  14. the olympics have become really unwieldy with the number of sports that have been added, and the requirement that individual cities have to build world class facilities in a lot of sports that aren't even played in that city or country. IMO the olympic committee would be well served to move to more of a soccer world cup-style format, where a country or even partnership of countries host the games, rather than the entire financial and logistical burden falling on a single city. a lot of cities are starting to figure out that it's not worth the cost and hassle, which is why you end up terrible options like beijing and almaty, kazakhstan being the finalists to host a winter olympics. I really don't think Almaty is a terrible option, especially relative to Beijing. kazakhstan has nowhere near the infrastructure to host the event (they'd probably find a way, albeit with many of the problems that are currently happening in rio), and i'm not big on rewarding the games to repressive governments with lousy human rights records.

  16. average team and boring ballpark; looking for any reason to get fans to come to the game.
