    ball two was a strike.
  2. TruffleShuffle
    pump the brakes there chief.
  3. TruffleShuffle
    alvarez is not a graceful man.
  4. TruffleShuffle
    bryant could easily have been out twice there. lucky.
  5. TruffleShuffle
    not exactly a ringing endorsement for the hit and run play in this first inning.
  6. TruffleShuffle
    i like the air raid siren after the home run. in other news, carl edwards jr is not pitching any better with his new name. :x

    cubs challenging for the mlb lead in stolen bases would not have been one of the things i predicted for this season.
  8. TruffleShuffle
    home run in the second game of the double header for al contra. two on the day.
  9. TruffleShuffle
    how is bryant's line drive % only 15%? seems like he is hitting the ball hard like half the time.
  10. TruffleShuffle
    that's not a strike, ump.

    schwarber's dong from yesterday: http://www.milb.com/multimedia/vpp.jsp?content_id=92551583&sid=milb

    I really did not miss junior lake.

    if that's true, i'd imagine that the reds are not too keen on the prospect of owing bailey a minimum of $86 million from 2016-19.

    didn't he struggle in the cape cod? well there you go. he hit 3 home runs in 37 cape cod league games, so there would have to be at least one double digit game dongless streak in there.

    i think this has to be the longest that bryant has ever gone without hitting a home run. he averaged one every three games as a pro and hit truckloads of them in college. plus i assume he was awesome in high school and little league as well.

    well now milb has given schwarber's gong to pin-chieh chen, but twitter assures me that it was schwarber who hit the home run. he also got hit in the head by something, either the batter's follow through or a foul ball, in the half inning before the home run, but obviously he was okay. also:
  17. TruffleShuffle
    it is kind of ridiculous how much i like bryant considering that he's been a major league baseball player for a week.
  18. TruffleShuffle
    schwarber dong.
  19. TruffleShuffle
    congratulations, blacks.

    some players who were most frequently robbed of MVP awards: willie mays: led the national league in WAR 9 times, finished 2nd twice, 3rd once, 4th once; won the MVP only twice. in 1964 he posted an 11.1 bWAR and lost to ken boyer of the cardinals, who wasn't even in the top 10 in bWAR. in the 13 years from 1954 to 1966, he was in the top 4 in national league WAR every season - his worst season was either 1956, when he had a 7.6 bWAR (2nd in the NL) and a batting line of .296/.369/.557, or 1959, when he had a 7.8 bWAR (4th in the NL) and a batting line of .313/.381/.583. ted williams: led the AL in bWAR 8 times, finished 2nd once, 3rd 6 times; won the MVP only twice. finished runner up in MVP voting in seasons with a batting line of .356/.499/.648 and .406/.553/.735. had a batting line of .388/.526/.731 at age 38. babe ruth, led the AL in bWAR 10 times - but only won once because of a stupid rule that previous winners were ineligible. rogers hornsby, led the NL in bWAR 11 times - but the MVP (formerly the chalmers award) was dropped the year that hornsby came into MLB, and didn't come back to the NL until a decade into his career. he did lead the national league in 5 of 6 years (1924-1929) that the League Award was presented, but only won it twice.

    torres now with a .305/.414/.322 line at south bend, with 11 bb/16 k in 17 games. he should get some buzz if he keeps this up, considering that most people had raul mondesi as a top 50 prospect despite him being an atrocious hitter last year.

    fletcher cox is really damn good and kendricks is also good. that would be a horrendous overpay.
  24. TruffleShuffle
    south bend won with 9 runs on 3 hits and 1 error. going to be hard to top that for my favorite R/H/E line of the year.
  25. TruffleShuffle
    let's just call vogelbach up and put him at 2b.
