2017 MLB Regular Season Thread Part I

[MurrayBannerman]

Been trying to find out what the most runs in a week is. Are the Nats close?

My research attempts have gotten me no where.

Do you have Play Index?

If you're a Mets fan the best thing is you just totally fall out of it by July so you can sell off Reed Granderson Bruce Cabrera Walker and maybe even Harvey if he is beasting and you can probably hit a couple of those prospects or even get an everyday player back. People forget the 2001-2006 Astros were largely built off a fluke offseason in 2000 where due to injury they lost 95 games and traded pieces off which ended up being major pieces of those teams

Passan was saying it has a lot to due with Syndergaard putting on 17 pounds of muscle over the winter and trying to throw even harder than he did last year (as if he didn't throw hard enough).

 

[tony d]

Yeah, that's to bad for the Mets. Losing Syndergaard for any amount of time won't be good.

 

[Slush]

What a score between the Mets and the Nationals. 23- 5. Don't see that too often.

I don't like Passan's opinions but Thor is throwing harder on average this year which is kind of amazing since he throws so hard already.

Skaggs is now out 10-12 weeks. We're an injury from Shoemaker away to having our whole rotation out.

 

[TootooTrain]

Goins with a 2rbi sac fly. First time I've seen that I think.

That was a ridiculous play in a few different ways. As a Yankee you have to kind of be pissed that Ellsbury makes an insane catch but two runs score anyway.

 

[TootooTrain]

I thought that was one where Travis (who was on 2nd base) might have gotten caught in between 2nd and 3rd thinking it was gone. Either that or he'd just tag up and move to 3rd. That throw in from Ells kind of made that catch a bit meaningless. Which is nuts because it was a hell of a catch.

Even with an ok throw to the cutoff guy Travis might have still scored but yeah it basically nullified an amazing catch.

Also Jose Bautista hits a hr every 11.7 an against the Yankees which is the best hr rate of any player all time against the Yankees. Thought that was interesting.

 

[robert terwilliger]

this game has been a ****ing oof for the red sox. errors, bad baserunning, bat ab, etc.

not good with sale pitching tomorrow too since they won't be scoring any runs.

i expect something like at least 15 k's from o's batters against sale

And amidst the K's, they'll somehow pop a timely HR and Sale will get outdueled by whomever Baltimore throws out there.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

So all the talk on radio airwaves this morning is Adam Jones saying he was racially abused by Red Sox crowd

Bad look for Red Sox/Boston

 

[tony d]

I'm a Red Sox fan but yeah no excuse for that sort of behavior from their fans last night. Shameful behavior.

 

[hockeykicker]

rendon first at bat since his historic day and he doubles lol

 

[rangerssharks414]

Roark threw 125 pitches. That's a lot nowadays for someone that allowed four runs.

 

[awfulwaffle]

And only through 6 innings too. Good guys up 1 though. Just got home from work, these East Coast games that start early kind of stink for us on the West Coast.

 

[hockeykicker]

Nats announcers say that it's nothing, Livan Hernandez threw 150 pitches in a nats uniform lol

 

[hockeykicker]

Jeez another mets injury

 

[rangerssharks414]

@awfulwaffle: Funny. We east coasters say the same thing about west coast start times.

@hockeykicker: That doesn't surprise me. Livan was a horse.

Heh yeah I get that. But atleast you guys are off work at that point.

Aaron Judge is a large human being.

Pearce, Gardner and Judge all with 2 hr games tonight. Launching pad in the Bronx tonight.
