MLB regular season thread - Part 5

[Vamos Rafa]

Again, plz tell me how Arrieta is the best pitcher in baseball

The only one person on this board that believes that is KrisBryantistheGOAT.

 

[Vamos Rafa]

If you are a big fan of Jason Statham, then MLB.TV is for you. You know what I'm talking about.

 

[JWK]

Gerardo Parra is useless, what a waste of money.

Down 2 with the bases loaded, Weiss lets Descalso hit while Arenado watches from the bench.

Aka Mr "Stroman would not even be in the Cubs rotation".

Seriously, if Kershaw pitches like this for another 5 years and then does his 2011-2014 numbers for another 5, he could very well be in the discussion for GOAT pitcher.

 

[hotcabbagesoup]

Who cares.


It's Adam Duvall. Go Reds!!!

 

[hockeykicker]

Plunk Bryce Harper in the knee is fine, that sometimes happens in baseball.

Throwing over to first five straight times right after knowing he's in a heck of a lot of pain is stupid

 

[John Price]

nats

 

[John Price]

Daniel Murphy hype train overload

 

[hockeykicker]

I swear Daniel Murphy is the clutchest hitter in baseball right now

 

[Voight]

TBH I really like Murphy but I thought "guy had an insane October, now he got overpaid and is going to suck" ..... yea

 

[Halladay]

He missed the biggest grounder since Buckner though.

 

[hockeykicker]

Rocking a .395 batting average at Memorial Day. Not bad

.41 ahead of second guy (.354)

 

[Big McLargehuge]

Jeff Locke faced one more than the minimal while pitching a shut out.

 

[BMOK33]

TBH I really like Murphy but I thought "guy had an insane October, now he got overpaid and is going to suck" ..... yea

He's going to revert to normal for sure. The same goes for Cespedes. Both these guys were high 700 OPS guys. You don't suddenly become a 960-1000 OPS player at age 30 or 31. The Nats are lucky Brandon Phillips refused to waive his NTC. Of course nobody knows if Murphy signed with say the White Sox if he would be posting these numbers. I think Phillips would have sucked anywhere however.

This Mariners team is somehow pissing me off just as much as they are making me love them

find some ****ing consistency lol

 

[Dr Pepper]

It seems weird to be that mad when you obviously know you weren't hit. I wonder how the manager felt about going out and arguing after he saw the replay?

The fact that he continued the at bat and didn't even attempt to go to first base, is bad enough.

And yeah I can't figure out what the manager was thinking, going out and defending that doofus.

 

[Pwnasaurus]

I know everyone is excited about Matt Harvey's start, but excellent outing by Carlos Martinez too whose been going through a ****** patch. 100 MPH K to end the 6th was pretty. 8 shutout.

It's tough to distinguish between a rebound start and playing the Brewers.

 

[AtlantaWhaler]

Braves already dangling Tehran...LOL

Unsurprisingly, the Atlanta Braves have a high asking price for 25-year-old right-hander Julio Teheran.

In his Full Count video, Fox Sports' Ken Rosenthal says Braves GM John Coppolella told him the team will only trade Teheran if it can get "a hitter of comparable quality and age" in return.

"The days of us trading players like Teheran for prospects are over. We need to get better at the major league level. We would have to be overwhelmed to move Teheran," Rosenthal quotes Coppolella as saying.

[Virtanen18]

I hope Julio gets traded, for the sake of my fantasy team. I need wins. Go to Boston.

4 complete games yesterday: Colin McHugh, Steven Wright, Jeff Locke, and Jhoulys Chacin. How?

 

[Stu Grimson]

Again, plz tell me how Arrieta is the best pitcher in baseball

You must not pay attention

 

[Carolinas Identity*]

I will fully admit that I do not watch much of the AL East, but how in the blue hell do the Blue Jays starters have a collective ERA of like three and a half, but also have that bad of a record?

Is their hitting actually that pathetic?

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

Their offence was indeed in a funk for weeks. Their bullpen was also atrocious for a good part of the season too.

 

[hockeykicker]

All star voting for AL

 

[robert terwilliger]

royals fans are so good at trolling, man.

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

16-0 Mariners.
