  1. I'm sure we'll see this soon enough in the real game. But as far as the game thread goes, I'm out. Bring in a reliever for me. The bike trails are a callin'!
  2. Seriously, why are the Reds swinging at anything??? I say this NOT in jest: I would make Chatwood strike out the side before I took the bat off the shoulder.
  3. Maddon just intentionally walked Shebler and Barnhart to start the game. Guess he wants to keep Chatsuck's pitch count down.
  4. Everything was great until the Mighty Reds came to town. So philosiphizer75, smear some pine tar on the barrel and start loosening up with the donut. This ought to be a quick one, right? I mean, what could go wrong? Joe must've read this before the 4-game set in Cincy: http://www.inspirationkit.nl/uploads/large/2012/05/31/uma.JPG
  5. I'm here, still smartin' from yesterday's loss.
  6. I sometimes wonder why they even play the games.
  7. It's telling that you're hanging this all on the bold multiple times now, because that's literally all he has going for him in terms of arguing that he's figuring it out. His meh June ERA was a whopping .01 lower than Verlander's. Almost everything else has been consistently mediocre all season. I’m not arguing Q has been that good or that I’m not expecting more. Just that he hasn’t been “that” bad that we need to be in “OMG rotation is doomed and we need starters at the deadline.” There’s reasonable belief that him and Hendricks will get better sooner than later and I just used Verlander as an example since he’s held in some regard here that he’s always great and that’s just not the case. These guys go through weird/bad stretches Not to continue the derailment of the game thread, but when the Cubs got Q, wasn’t he statistically a Top 10-15 starting pitcher in all of baseball. Has he even been close to that for a significant period of start.... yet?
  8. Not my dream scenario... Not by a long shot, but if Harper got traded somewhere and then we ended up signing him during the offseason we wouldn't lose a draft pick (which is always nice). I'd rather see the Dodgers miss the playoffs. Dodgers are gonna win their division...by several games.
  9. Lot of things “going right” for the Brewers the first half of the season. When will it be midnight?
  10. Head first slide to the inside beats the tag easily.
  11. santa maria Let's hope! For the bottom innings I mean.
  12. Morrow threw a 92 mph cookie that the batter missed.
  13. Do baseball players ever use two hands to catch anymore???
  14. Are there any stats on unnecessary slides for a catch? Bert’s gotta be up there, right?
  15. I think I have Kepler in HR Derby. I do not want him to HR right now.
  16. This is exactly the type of game you’d want Maples to pitch in (other than the wind blowing out). Late in a game with a 6 run lead. Sheesh!
  17. Importance of the slap tag with Lester pitching.
