Myshkin Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 Can you elaborate? I'm intrigued, but didn't see the game. Nothing seems so crazy, like the 4.5 hr rain delay in StL yesterday.The reanimated corpse of Todd Helton was allowed to pinch hit, thereby becoming the first Frankenstein's Monster to ever play in the MLB.

wolverine Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 awesome GIF of knuckleball movement, insaneThe late hard movement is the scariest for a hitter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord O' Bones Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 The late hard movement is the scariest for a hitter.And for a catcher as well, trust me.Trisky, I apologise for my terrible prognostication. And it's not like the Giants were feeble; Wainwright was a fucking beast today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolverine Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 Yeah, I have caught one guy with a wicked good knuckleball, but probably not on that level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lightning Lord Posted June 3, 2013 Author Share Posted June 3, 2013 Twins blanked the Mariners today, 10-0. We've had more home runs in the last week than in the previous seven weeks of season combined. Our starting pitching has been...not utterly abysmal. I am full of fear that I am having my hopes raised, only to be dashed once again.Jaime! Our guy Diamond today had several strike-outs. Get your Bledelian ass back in here!

wolverine Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 I heard something today that shocked me, but maybe some of y'all have heard this.Griffey Jr., when he goes into the Hall of Fame, will be the first player to do so after having been the #1 pick. That is crazy. That suggests to me that it's just that difficult to identify true, can't-miss prospects in baseball compared to football and hoops. Not that there aren't misses there too, but you have your Peyton Mannings and your Tim Duncans.That is pretty amazing. The draft has been around since 1965 and it looks like there are several more since Griffey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kairparavel Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 Ooooh Mets pitcher guy. Rough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greywolf2375 Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 Chipper Jones is a sure thing after Griffey. Tough to say on A-Rod right now because we don't know how voting on PED's will evolve.Speaking of, it looks like ARod and Braun are going to resting for a while as MLB looks to suspend them based on the Biogenesis investigation.http://www.cbssports.com/mlb/blog/eye-on-baseball/22351800/report-mlb-set-to-suspend-ryan-braun-alex- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JB5093 Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 ESPN reporting MLB may suspend up to 20 players for their connection to the clinic on Miami. They want a 100 game suspension for A Rod and Ryan Braun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Myshkin Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 They just cut to it in MLB network. Amazing. This guy could be the savior.How old is Puig alleged to be?22. Anyone who's ever sat in the left field pavilion at Dodger stadium knows how hard that ball was hit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even though there are guys juicing, I still feel like this is just a witch hunt to try to save face for the late 90s.I wish Aaron Rodgers hadn't defended Ryan Braun. Braun looks quite guilty, and he only really got off on a technicality the first time, right?Yep, one of the specimens was considered tainted because of the handling and produced a result that could have been because of the handling and not him sticking needles in his bum.

wolverine Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 For those that didn't see yesterday, watch the throw that Puig made to end the game here. I love how it was both a cannon of a throw but was also probably combined with the Padres not quite understanding what they were dealing with.The most impressive thing about the throw was him not really stepping into it and still getting that much on it.

Ferrum Aeternum Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 Julio Teheran pitched what I hope is his breakout game this afternoon - no hitter through 7 1/3, finished with 8 IP, 1H, 11K. Finally converting all that upside into results! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JB5093 Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 I can't wait to see this Puig kid tomorrow. Hopefully hes what the Dodgers need to get them back into the race Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
