Around the League Gameday Thread

[Angel Dog and Beer]

If Albert did that people would say he was lazy. If Trout did that people would be mad he didn't swing at the first pitch. If our opponents did that we would be mad at Hector for not throwing strikes. If Joyce did this we would assumed he struck out 6.67 times.

Did I cover them all?

You missed "something... something... all Scioscia's fault"

[Angel Oracle]

Houston up 7-0 over the Twins, partly due to Conger's grand salami.

[m0nkey]

Cargo has 32 homers since June 6

[fan_since79]

Cespedes with 11 HR and 28 RBI since going to the Mets.

[Guest]

Chris Davis already has 40 HR and 100 RBI. He hit 2HR today

[Inside Pitch]

Braves are just plain bad.

 

Case in point -- Shelby Miller...  

 

Since May 23rd he's gone 0-11.   The team has gone 3-16 in this starts.   Meanwhile all Miller has done is throw 118 innings of 3.12 ERA baseball with 104 Ks.

 

Miller's run support over those 19 games -- 2.56.

Goes to show how much of a difference a prescription can make.

Scioscia is overusing the "take" sign.

[fan_since79]

Jake Arrieta pitched seven shutout innings today as the Cubs won.

 

His 15 straight quality starts are the most by a Cubs' pitcher since 1933.

[Dick B Back]

Simon had a no-hitter through 5 against the Indians and just gave up a hit in the 6th...

Yeah, THAT Simon!

[m0nkey]

The fact that it was bartolo makes it 10 times better

[Troll Daddy]

Colon complete game shutout with behind the back flip to first base.

Amazing!

[Hollyw00d]

Your mets might win the division, TD

[fan_since79]

Yankees are shutting down Nathan Eovaldi for a couple weeks. Right elbow inflammation. He's already had TJ surgery once.

 

14-3 record at the moment. 

[Troll Daddy]

Harper calls out fans for leaving early ... down 5-7 in the ninth with the heart of the order coming up.

[Hollyw00d]

man the nats are a fiery trainwreck.  they were leading 7-2 against NY heading to the 7th inning, and the mets just completed a 5 run inning to tie the game up

[moccasin]

And guess who hit the game deciding HR for the Mets in the 8th?

Kirk Nieuwenhuis.

[Hollyw00d]

Good thing he didn't turn the page on that game

[QuinlansMinion]

Were not getting any help from other teams.  Rangers are taking care of business.

[Angel Oracle]

Rangers are a dark horse. Solid pitching exists now outside of Lewis' up and down nature, and the hitting is there although not like the glory days to start the decade.

Houston is still a little too young to hold up and take the division. But they are far enough in front of a young Twins team to hold them off for the 2nd WC spot.

Another massive home run by cespedes for the new York Mets in a big game

Think we couldn't have used that guy? At least we got victorino and Dejesus tho

[jimbo]

Man, Drew Storen has totally mind fukd himself into oblivion.

And Newcombe

[Angel Oracle]

Regarding Johnny Cueto, misses a fan function......ruh roh.

That plus 9.45 ERA in past 4 starts won't endear him to KC fan.

 

I reverse my previous thought after KC acquired him.    DO NOT sign him!

AO I dont like guys who come from the NL over to the real baseball league.  Especially pitchers who are accustomed to having it easy in the NL, throwing to little league bats for free outs every time the 9 spot is up.  I think the NL really makes pitchers look better than they are.
