    CBA expected to be ratified on Thursday

    Apparently winning when you're the underdog epitomizes the American Spirit[tm], but losing when you're heavily favored is just something that happens aw shucks oh well

    Bulls announcers said "Michael" for years

    It's AAA. I know, but compared to the Cleveland AAA team, Pittsburgh had way more washed up vets. Pittsburgh had a lineup with Ronny Cedeno, Pedro Alvarez, Steve Pearce, Andy Marte and Garrett Olson. Cleveland's team didn't have anyone I recognized as having any significant major league service time (outside of Shelley Duncan, who also crushed a tape measure homer)

    Alvarez crushed a deep, opposite field homer last night. Pretty impressive. Then again, he's hitting under .250 in AAA.....

    I expect ESPN will run features about the strength of the Japanese spirit, and how Japanese exceptionalism led them to victory.... /*crickets*
  7. Derwood
    I'm at the Clippers vs Indians AAA game, and half the Pirates "prospects" have a bunch of ML service time

    his options NOT vesting leads me to believe that it would be harder to convince him to give up his NTC

    I always zoom in before I click on anything. Makes clicking the little "send me to the newest post" button much easier

    you must [expletive] hate Len's "Hey Hey" call of the Edmonds homer
  11. Derwood
    Olney threw out a possible Rasmus for BJ Upton trade

    Those are pretty girly tattoos

    According to FanGraphs, Marmol's use of his fastball has decreased over the past 4 seasons from, 48.2% in 2008 down to 38.4% in 2011, while his slider has increased from 38.2% to 56.1%. Over that same time period, his fastball velocity has dropped from the 94mph to 92mph. The biggest change is in his movement; while his slider has stayed pretty much the same, his fastball movement has gone from -7.2h/8.8v down to -5.6h/6.7v.
  14. Derwood
    One of the best things Dave Campbell said (while subbing for Brenly) was that Marmol's effectiveness has gone down as his pitch selection has shifted towards the slider and away from the fastball. Without using both, hitters can just sit on the slider.

    I think you'd gladly give up bunt hits to the other team's HR hitter all day long

    Alfonso Soriano!!!!!11! /wrigley23
  17. Derwood
    You know what would've been really crazy and unexpected? If he had shaved his beard and worn normal clothes and not acted like a douche
  18. Derwood
    Aren't most major league managers failed baseball players? There are exceptions, but I find it hilarious that NO ONE outside of baseball could ever get a managerial job, yet a ton of teams have abject failures as managers (because THEY PLAYED THE GAME)
  19. Derwood
    I'm the only person with the #1 WC pick, so I'll gladly keep him

    Grade-A sociopath

    I saw Castro's season end on that slide. So lucky he's fine
  22. Derwood
    the guy had apparently already caught 2 or 3 balls at that point
  23. Derwood
    Did someone at ESPN tell Berman to quit with the "backbackbackback" BS, cuz he's doing it way less
  24. Derwood
    drop Snider, add Berkman
  25. Derwood
    It was a little weird after hearing him all the time on MLB The Show
