shoregirl June 15, 2019 Share June 15, 2019 Andrew Mccutchen had surgery for his ACL today and is out for the season. He's is currently live tweeting the Phillies game which is awesome. I am very sad he won't be able to play this year because I love him. I always enjoyed watching him play and wished he was on my team and now that he is even better than I had thought . 4 Link to comment

theatremouse June 16, 2019 Share June 16, 2019 Anyone else watch this Padres/Rockies game? It's basically a little league game. Was 8-5 by the second. (I know high scoring games are not unusual in Colorado but this one felt silly for how early in the game both teams had huge innings). But I digress. The announcer was doing a really weird thing. When he'd call the score he kept emphasizing the wrong number. For example, at the start of the second it was 6-3. Then the Padres scored 2 runs. He says "Now it's SIX to five." Half-inning later he did it again. Rockies scored 2 and he called it "Eight to FIVE." He kept emphasizing the number that had not changed. I realize in the grand scheme of things this is relatively minor, but it totally distracted me. Link to comment

Lamb18 June 19, 2019 Share June 19, 2019 I was at the Twins - Red Sox last night and little did I know that when we left at the top of the ninth, the game wasn't even half over. But we won!!! Link to comment

If they had a DH, he would have been doing something safer at BP. I know he was, but you have to be using TERRRRIBLE form to foul a bunt back at your face. I mean, I'm not a monster. I feel bad for the guy breaking his nose. But I'm suggesting his baseline skill at bunting should've prevented him from doing that. It wasn't a real in-game pitch that might've had some funky spin or something. This is BP. Pitchers especially, but players in general have gotten so bad at bunting at the highest level it's embarrassing. Should've learned this in high school - and maintained the skill. There are a few simple minor basics that once you get right, other than funky movement and spin on the ball from a really good pitch, laying down a solid bunt is easy. It's a pet peeve of mine, having nothing to do with Scherzer, but I get so annoyed when I see a major league pitcher fouling off bunt after bunt or popping them up. Being decent at bunting is like expecting a pitcher to know how not to balk. It's a basic requirement of the position. And you can tell when they go up there when a guy doesn't know how to do it properly. It's visually obvious when they're basically just flailing. 3 Link to comment
Lantern7 June 19, 2019 Share June 19, 2019 (edited) Last night, deGrom almost went the deStance. He got one Brave out in the ninth, but gave up two solo homers. Robert Gsellman got the last two years. The Daily News posted this headline at the top, above the Yankees cover: "PEN GETS TWO OUTS!" Actually, that was the delivery edition I got today. I'm at a library, and that was the main back cover story in the edition I just saw, complete with big font. So, yeah, that's the state of the Mets today.

Since I live in Charlotte these days - we went to see the Mets play the Braves in Atlanta in April - I got to watch the Braves broadcast. Turned on the game in the 8th inning. Bottom of the ninth, Braves have one out, Mets are up 10 - 0, and the Braves announcer says "Two outs away from a complete game shutout." Next pitch ends up in the stands past the right field wall, and the announcer says "Well, there goes the shutout." Next pitch Brave batter hits the second consecutive HR, and it was the end of even the complete game as deGrom gets replaced... Link to comment

xaxat June 20, 2019 Share June 20, 2019 So I guess the Rays are looking at playing half their games in Montreal?? Did anyone tell the players union? Because I'm pretty sure none of them signed up to play three quarters of their games on the road. 2 Link to comment

mojoween June 21, 2019 Share June 21, 2019 Cortes is better than Cessa but Cessa is out of options so I guess they are stuck with him. I feel badly for Cortes - he was SO GOOD relieving Green - but anything to keep Maybin! Splitting Tampa in half is the DUMBEST idea I have ever heard. Just send the Rays somewhere else, for cod’s sack they were in first place and had 17 fans in the stadium that can’t keep the power on instead of 6. Tampa has proven they will not miss them, just give the whole team back to Montreal. Jason Fitz also articulated many points against this idea that are too numerous to mention that shows how bad of an idea this is. But Jeff Passan reported that the idea is being taken seriously! WTF. 5 Link to comment

Lantern7 June 23, 2019 Share June 23, 2019 Mac from Philadelphia finally gets to play catch with Chase Utley. This would be something to look forward to, except that Utley basically took a Mets player out of the 2015 postseaon with a dirty slide, and received zero consequence for it. So, you know, fuck Utley. And fuck Mac for mancrushing on him. Okay, not really. 1 Link to comment
