2017 MLB Regular Season Thread - Part 5

[Terry Yake]

lol @ price acting like a baby

grow up and handle the criticism like a man. and yeah, he wishes he could have eck's career

 

[John Price]

It comes off as he can't take any sort of criticism. Standing up for your teammate who just got criticized by Eck is one thing, but take the higher road and approach him in private. To do what he did is just immature, even if the team is fully behind him.

 

[robert terwilliger]

all eckersley did was say "yuck" when they posted the line from an eduardo rodriguez rehab start.

that's apparently "not knowing how hard it is" to some. that's right, a guy whose wife left him for a teammate doesn't know how hard the game is.

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

The White Sox always get up for these Crosstown Cup games.

The Cubs have not won a season series against the White Sox since 2007

They went 4-0 in 2013 against the Pale Hose.

Uh oh, winning run coming to the plate.

SOX win

The White Sox always seem to find a way against the Cubs.

What's a hockey equivalent where a good team always had fits against a bad team?

Sabres have always owned the Sharks for some reason.

While I believe a guy like Kershaw has questionable playoff stats because of variance and sample size, I think it's clear Price's are because he is just a mental midget who focuses on the wrong ****.

Kershaw's a standup guy who doesn't make excuses.

I know some of us on here poked fun at Jake Arrieta when he got lit up by the Mets in the 2015 NLCS, but at least he was anything but a mental midget in the World Series last year (and of course the HR off Bumgarner). He

I mean, hell, at least Kershaw has more playoff wins as a starter than Price.

How much happier you think Price would be if he had stayed in Toronto?

Always? This is the Cubs 3rd year of being good

Not sure. He does seem to enjoy pitching and getting paid without the stress and pressure of a toug market. Him attempting to justify his actions as defending his teammates is laughable. And the teammates who applauded his actions are just as bad. I don't see them going far if they're this soft mentally.

Kinda awesome watching a storm in the beginning process start to take shape. I was watching the Astros feed and it was almost like they were bracing for a hurricane.

 

[JWK]

Senzatela throws like 2 pitches and doesn't have control in any of them, that's not good.

I picture Price going after guys like Greg Zaun just the same

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

Stanton is on a frightening run right now.

I am done trying to predict the fortunes of the Rays/Rangers/Royals/Mariners/Orioles/Angels this year. When I think they will zig, they zag. When I feel they will zag, they zig.

 

[KaylaJ]

how many games have the Rockies won or lost in blowout fashion?

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

Tonight would be their 39th game decided by 5 or more runs.

The Brewers have 21.

The Cubs and Dodgers have 28.

So yeah...a lot.

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

Kids these days can't handle any criticism. I'm sure that's the crux of it.

its not uncommon with todays athlete. It isn't just Price and the teammates who applauded. its the same in just about every sport. some kids just cant handle the criticism from the media. even when it is justified.

chipping away, 6-2 Cards now

Adrian Beltre with a 4 hit night.

7 away from 3000

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

I can't believe it's happening but Bartolo is through 4 scoreless at Chavez Ravine.

 

[Taro Tsujimoto]

Man, this Mets/Padres game is moving lightning fast. Not even two hours old and they're already in the 7th.

 

[c9777666]

JD Martinez in his first home game with Arizona: 3 run HR

 

[Del Preston]

Altuve is hitting .507 this month.
