Ramsay B. Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 So at the start of the day the Braves haven't homered in 11 straight games and have 3 total on the season. 37 players have more dingers than that. Tough times indeed, FA. Gardner walk-off was nice today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tough times indeed, FA. And they still managed to sweep the Marlins last week. But yeah, that team is genuinely putrid right now. Some are comparing the state of the organization to the Royals 5-6 years ago in terms of a shitty MLB roster but loads of talent coming up through the system. That's all we can hang our hats on I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramsay B. Posted April 24, 2016 Author Share Posted April 24, 2016 Twins-Nationals game is nuts. Harper ties it in the 9th on a pinch-hit homer. Then Nationals just tied it in the bottom of the 15th when Oliver Perez(yes, that Oliver Perez) puts down a bunt with 2 outs and a dude on second, and the catcher throws it way over Mauer's head at 1st. The funny thing is is that Twins had a lefty in with Perez, a fucking lefty pitcher, coming to bat and they switched to a righty reliever? I have never seen anything like that.

Myshkin Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 Dodger game is pretty crazy too. Rockies score 5 in the bottom of the eighth to take a 3 run lead (this after being down 7-1 at one point), but the Dodgers came right back to score 5 in the top of the ninth.

Joe Pesci Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 Pirates/D'backs game was crazy as well today, all 5 1/2 hours of it. Two starting pitchers in Niese and Greinke with pinch hits, and another pitcher for Arizona as a pinch runner who had to play left field in the next inning. Luckily for me, the Buccos won. Wild day of baseball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smegma Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 Chris Sale can have my babies. The Sox are winning in spite of poor production from their core hitters. Let's hope they can keep capitalizing on stellar pitching. I'd take more pleasure out of last night's 10-1 spanking of Dickey, but for whatever reason the Sox have always seemed to knock around knuckleballers.

Ramsay B. Posted April 28, 2016 Author Share Posted April 28, 2016 Chisox about to sweep a cold Toronto team. I do need Jose Abreu to start hitting a little for selfish reasons. The streak is over, Braves just hit a home run!! Well done, Freddie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manhole Eunuchsbane Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 The Giants crawl back to over .500 on the back of a 3 game sweep of the Padres, and sit one game behind Los Doyers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramsay B. Posted April 28, 2016 Author Share Posted April 28, 2016 As if this year couldn't get more embarrassing, Girardi recently said that shifts would be illegal if he was the commish. In part, I'm sure, because Yanks have far and away been the team most shifted against in recent years. Let's blame everyone else for our hitters inability or stubborness to not go the other way. Come on, man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrimTuesday Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 Wow, Dee Gordon just got hit with a 80 game suspension after testing positive for 2 PED's (testosterone and clostebol). That really sucks for him, but I doubt the Marlins really care, not like they are out to actually win, so long as they still make money. I guess that's what happens when you hire Barry Bonds as your hitting coach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I wasn't expecting to hear his name tied to this just because he isn't what is perceived to be the prototypical PED user, but I guess nothing should really be a surprise anymore. I can't even say I blame him either; with the system being what it is, what does he lose? His $50 million contract is still guaranteed, minus whatever he loses during the suspension. I just wish the douche hadn't waited until immediately after helping the Marlins complete a four game sweep of the Dodgers to drop his appeal.
