Ramsay B. Posted May 29, 2016 Author Share Posted May 29, 2016 So Thor got tossed for throwing behind Utley with no warnings or anything given prior to it. There's obviously intent there but just an odd decision by the ump. Is Pineda tipping his pitches or something? What the fuck happened to him? His whip is now 1.65!

I understand why he did it but I think it hurt the situation more than it helped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myshkin Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 I too found it strange that Thor got tossed. Obviously an intent pitch, but also obviously never meant to hit him. On the other hand the Mets need to get the fuck over it. The longer they carry this grudge the more petulant they look. Probably won't help much that Utley threw himself a party and feasted on their bullpen after Thor's early exit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DireWolfSpirit Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 Omg Justin Upton is sure looking like buyers remorse for Motown through the first third of this season. I can't believe this guys made three All-Star teams. He belongs straight in that Eastwood movie "Cant Hit the Curve" or the splitter or the changeup or anyfucking thing else.

That guy has seemingly resurrected his career this season. I thought he was done, but he's been a killer since coming to L.A. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myshkin Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 Roberts is turning out to be just as effective as Mattingly at managing our bullpen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrimTuesday Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 Nice to see the M's put the boots to the Dadres after getting thoroughly embarrassed by the Twins last week. I think this team could win it all this season, and if they played every game on the road, they could break their own record of most wins in a season. Really it's just nice to see them 9 games over .500 and locked in a tight race with the Rangers for 1st in the AL West. Meaningful baseball is the best kind of baseball. Also, did anyone else see the latest All-Star Game voting numbers for the AL? Royals fans need to go die in a fire, the homer fucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This fan voting shit needs to go the way of the dodo. That's exactly what I meant (don't actually dislike the Rangers, but that is mostly because they have Beltre). Only two Royals deserve to be in the top 5 at their position, those being Hosmer and Perez. Omar Infante, does not deserve to be ahead of Robinson Cano at 2nd base. I say, because the Royals fans are being such assholes, we strip the Royals of their World Series, and give it to either the Mariners or the Nats, since neither have one, then all the Royals fans can go back to being Cardinals fans like they were a few years ago.

DireWolfSpirit Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 So yesterday was MLB's Roberto Clemente day and I just noticed this article- http://theundefeated.com/features/roberto-clemente-was-a-fierce-critic-of-both-baseball-and-american-society/ Wow, can you imagine a team with that 1961 outfield the NL Allstars had with Clemente, Mays, Cepeda, Aaron and Frank Robinson to boot? I didnt look it up, but i'm presuming they had McCovey at firstbase with that lineup as well? Either way what a group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah had to check, apparently McCovey didnt play his first Allstar game till 1963, but this NL Allstar roster also had Musial and Koufax on it , so pretty amazing- http://www.baseball-almanac.com/asgbox/yr1961as.shtml Not that the 61 AL Allstar roster wasnt also amazing with Mantle, Maris, Kaline, Eddie Mathews and Whitey Ford. Interestingly in 61 MLB featured a doubleheader Allstar game with the first game in Candlestick ( the game mentioned in the Clemente article) and a second game at Fenway, the Fenway game was never completed and called (tie) due to rain.

Jaxom 1974 Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 We're all proud that your Dodgers were finally able to get some runs off of the worst pitcher in the Cubs bullpen last night, Gobby. I mean I suppose they were due after being no hit by the rest of the pen the night before... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
