  1. http://www.baseball-reference.com/awards/awards_1973.shtml#NLmvp what on Earth?
  2. please update the score in that game i cant look at the Padres lineup again or i'll projectile barf
  3. he and Weeks would make for a very productive platoon
  4. they're probably going to make the playoffs anyways, and Cain gives them a full blown powerhouse rotation. i don't know that any team can compete with Sheets, CC, Cain and Parra in a short series. Hardy doesn't offer much vs. righties and they brutalize lefties regardless; Escobar could certainly replace his defense adequately.
  5. ah i guess i may have to brush up on my Pentateuch
  6. not to mention matching jewelry on their ring fingers
  7. relax its just an inane Rick Reilly quote but what's with the G-d? its god censored on here? edit: well that cant be it confused minds want to know
  8. uh oh youre going to be really pissed off when you start noticing hes really good out there in CF "really" good is probably overstating it. he often takes terrible routes to balls and has to use his athleticism to make up for it. I have no doubts he'll improve as he spends more time out there, but as of right now his arm is the only thing really good about his defense that's a pretty fair assessment personally, i don't have problems with CFs relying on athleticism to make up for bad reads because they're ultimately still going to make most of the plays and given some increased familiarity with the position they'll only improve. unless it's Alex Sanchez of course. his mis-read last night was pretty ugly, but I'd still put him in my outfield right now in large part because of his otherworldly arm. i'd almost wager he could develop into a GG candidate, but with his age he's behind the curve for defense and it's likely when he gets a better grip on the position he'll start losing athleticism somewhat.
  9. i think i would cry blood if that actually happened
  10. maybe it'd be a good idea to platoon our entire team on the road
  11. 11 baserunners in 5 innings is not a good start. only 2 runs in 5 innings is you're really a hard person to please if you expect better from a 21 year old rookie pitcher than a 3.60 ERA facing the Yankees
  12. uh oh youre going to be really pissed off when you start noticing hes really good out there in CF
  13. somebody needs to create a least favorite batting stance thread quick because watching the Red Sox game reminded me how much i HATE watching Youkilis hit
  14. conveniently glossed over is the immense defensive upgrade he's been from Floyd and Murton
  15. he reminds me as a cross between Ichiro and Godzilla
  16. i could watch this video 1000000000000 times
  17. off topic maybe but OMG HIS PLAY IN THE FIELD TONIGHT best moment in baseball history
  18. Ask Me Anything About Iowa
  19. 2007: fastball - 52.5% slider 37.3% 2008: fastball - 62.5% slider 32.4% he's throwing his fastball more often than last year for sure. he's lost a minor amount of velo on both but gained movement, which might contribute to lessened control. he's starting out hitters with FB 59% slider 31% was 73/27 last year
  20. i too watch the games and think to myself what it would be like if he were playing CF hard to conceptualize, it's just such a maverick idea i wonder if any manager would ever try playing him there
  21. the Joe Morgan obsession is even weirder than the cards & whitesox obsessions
  22. battleyourtailoff looks like an ok one
