I don't understand how this happens. Are the Braves your local broadcast or something? It's the only option for the game on MLB Extra Innings. Weird. If you have mlbtv on a Bluray or something similar, both feeds are available.

Was he wearing this? -

Sounds like he's had Javy type adjustment issues at each new level. So, he's likely to be really bad early on.

And Derwood knows from experience!

Should've worn those pants on your head I guess.

I had it happen on Monday morning but haven't had an issue since. I think you're good.

You're not new, and you have a history. A no-hitter is completely different than a shutout, and only everyone that's ever watched baseball should know that. I've seen new posters get slaughtered on here for making points you guys felt were silly. That's not conducive towards increasing forum activity. Also as I said before Arrieta had pitched a no hitter before. And considering how important he is to this team's overall success I don't think pulling Arrieta in a blowout win would be an awful idea. I think it's safe to say a mature player, like Arrieta, would understand the thought process behind the move. HE THREW LESS THAN 120 PITCHES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Then proceeded to throw 92, 99, and 100 in his next 3 starts and hadn't thrown more than 100 in any start previous to that one. Again, you're out looking for anything negative you can find on a team that's on pace to break the ML record for wins. Just stop.

Seriously, just go away. Good lord.

Man, there is nobody there.

A really, extra nasty curveball.

Man, it's so nice to have a guy in charge who gets it:
-
Well, she's got a broken rib. Ouch.
-
A straight steal of home, especially with a slide that ridiculous, has to be about the most exciting playing baseball.

Anyone have a couple extras for the 7/5 game?

Agree that Zagunis looks like an interesting prospect. Obviously no standout tools, so he's not a significant trade chip. But a guy who's consistently .400+ OBP, consistently .800+ OPS, and consistently at least .400 slugging, and who has at least a little athleticism, that's got to be a candidate to be a useful major leaguer. Got a chance to be a professional hitter. And he's still young enough that there's some chance for improvement. A little more power? A little more drive and less ground balls? Sometimes it's the best and smartest hitters who are best able to identify and adjust to minimize their flaws. This will sound dumb, but he reminds me a little of a Cardinals prospect. Seemed they often had these college players, who weren't big tools guys and were never highly rated prospects, and who didn't come up young. But when some need created an opportunity, they so often seemed to have a next-man-up who was able to play solid, professional baseball. Could imagine Zagunis having a trajectory like that. Is he still catching or am I confusing him with someone else? If so, the bolded sounds a lot like Jason Kendall.

Well, that'll probably do it. -
What amazes me is how many times it's been posted that the Archer/Mcnutt thing is false and you still haven't gotten it.

I was in the left center bleachers and had a great view of the play. It was comically bad and I immediately made fun of him for it, especially since it happened right after he couldn't catch Ross' ball.
-
Hey, I was out in the bleachers last night, and while I may not be much to look at, my gf is a fine looking lass. pics or gtfo Next I suppose you'll want one with me in it.......

I'm not sure how many of you will remember this, but hearken back to the days of trading for Phil Nevin. Remember he came from some AL team and had pretty much just been DHing? He was so out of shape that he couldn't play 1B every day and we all laughed at him because that was truly ridiculous. I'm no world class athlete but I work out regularly and am in fairly decent shape. I played 1B the other day at my daughter's softball practice so they could all get some extra fielding in and I couldn't believe how jacked up I felt the next day. I was tight in places I didn't even realize I had used the day before. Moral of the story: I'm old and Phil Nevin probably was in better shape than most of us as an old, fat first baseman.

Dude, you're old AF! (I was born the same day) Share a birthday with Dusty Baker. I usually go with Wade Boggs.

He's in Iowa rehabbing for 3-4 games before he comes back.
