I think your feelings on Clint Hurdle are just a sign of personal insecurities.

    He's probably more pissed off about being related to you. Now go back to Cloak Room or wherever it is that you regularly infect with your stupidity and leave this awesome subforum be.

Never heard of a player referred to as a sac bunting machine. That’s a new one.

Technically, those 18 sacs were 4 years ago in A-ball, but I get it.

Best part of that inning was the incredible route Gonzalez took on his fluke-ass SB.

lol, that's what's so crazy about it. because no full time mlb guys can sac bunt to save their lives, the fact that *this* guy happened to be at the plate made the decision as much of a no-brainer as you can have. and yet somehow he was told to swing away.

lol, never seen someone complicate an easy stolen base with a route like that. how do you veer off into the infield and then back into the dirt while stealing?

That is one pathetic loser. Wow. Talk about looking for a fight.

That's only part of it. The half inning prior to this he called #5 a ball. This just added fuel to the fire

If they don’t switch to robo umps I’m fine with the wiffle ball rectangle.

Cishek had a rough night. 3 consecutive walks to start the 8th, gets yanked, and camargo clears the bases.

Just the shit eating grin on that umps face says it all.

He is probably going to go home and beat his wife too.

You obviously haven't followed Longhorn baseball.

you know i've seen a bunch of people here trash jessica mendoza, which i think is just crazy and a sign of personal insecurity- but does anyone else here hate listening to John Sciambi? It's like he spends the entire broadcast trying to tell stories and "talk baseball" so that he can prove that he belongs there with the former MLB guys. I just really hate listening to him. 


They’re not mutually exclusive.

Nothing wrong with Mendoza at all. She's much better than A-Rod, but that isn't saying much.

If I’m the Astros I might consider an unfortunate “cross-up” that involves a fastball getting by Stassi and plunking that ump in the mask. What a cunt. His grin towards Cole pissed me off and I’m not even involved, or an Astros fan.

It’s is truly unreal how fucking awful this fuck is on defense.

God bless catchers. 

Took the series from the Giants.  All is right in the world.

He’s not much better with a bat currently.

I’m 99% on the “both leagues should have a DH” bandwagon, but I’m going to miss that feeling of shock every time a pitcher hits a HR. 

7 scoreless innings, 14 strike outs (14!!!)  AND hits a home run?

He's playing a video game.

I never really got how he could be considered a number 1 prospect.  Number 1s look like Arod or Verlander or something like that.  He has just looked like a light hitting stick figure middle infielder since he was 18.  He was never going to be Cano or Altuve.  What's he going to be best case scenario when they were ranking him?  A regular 3 win player?  That's the best prospect?

  • Author

Well, before two shoulder surgeries he could actually throw a little. Now, he’s comical. He can’t play any defensive position. 

If he actually took over for Adrian at 3B, we would have a new leader for worst qualifying DRS season ever.

On defense, Profar wasn’t challenged in game action, but showed picturesque fluidity and movement in batting practice and pre-game infield. Additionally, Profar’s arm is at least well-above average, if not plus for the position allowing him to pivot off his back foot and fire lasers across the infield.

Oh sweet jesus, if that fuck fires off his back foot now, only umpires & fans need to worry. 

Quote

For me, the conservative approach would be to label Jurickson Profar an above average regular with multiple all-star seasons. 

That's the conservative approach for a dude that weighs a buck seventy.  Ok.  

 

That report is great.  "A few people get upset about how I just stick to the facts and am not prone to exaggeration like a breathless fangirl about prospects.  Also, he hit the outfield fence on a flyball and it was still rising."

Anyone remember his “throw” from CF on the last play that knocked Netherlands out of the WBC? Pretty much told us all we needed to know.

Not to mention he couldn’t crack their IF. 

He's still my boy.  Y'all need to turn down the hate.  It's not like he's Josh Bell or Ian Desmond.

Go to the Pirates’ website & read about them trying to beg Bell back to life. Fat Joe may write there.

Right you are, my friend!

Random interneting brought me to the 1969 season.  Ernie Banks got 12th in the MVP voting toward the end of his career with negative .7 WAR.  Funny how much differently we measure players now.

  • Author

Bro, Helobious has probably heard of Ernie, that alone supersedes WAR. 

Helobious used Cole and Stassi’s (the biggest shocker) actual names when talking about plunking the ump with a cross up instead of “Houston’s pitcher and catcher”.

Consider me impressed.

HE HAD 106 RBI!!!  THAT'S WHAT YOU WANT OUT OF YOUR FIRST BASEMAN!

The Yankees will call up infielder Thairo Estrada, the club's 19th-ranked prospect per MLB Pipeline, to replace Tulowitzki on the active roster, a source tells MLB.com's Mark Feinsand. The club has not officially announced the callup. Estrada, 23, suffered a gunshot wound in January 2018 and dealt with other injury setbacks during his recovery throughout the year. He played in 37 games in 2018 -- 18 across two levels of the Minors and 19 in the Arizona Fall League.

Don’t see that injury every day in baseball.

They didn't intentionally walk him until the count got to 2-0.  You don't want to mess around with a dangerous hitter after you fall behind like that.

The Miguel Cabrera dropoff is pretty painful to watch.  He may need the rest of his contract just to get the 35 homers needed to get to 500.  

 I feel bad for Davis. He Hass to publicly humiliate himself and have all the fans hate him more and more every day in order to get the money he’s signed on for.   He has to have zero confidence that he will ever be productive again. He knows it’s over.  But he has to keep going through the motions and pretending because of the contract.  Golden handcuffs yo. 

Make it 0-17 with 11Ks

 

And cue golden sombrero watch...

 

 

Edit: nope. PH for by Hanser Alberto...who receives a standing O for removing Davis from the game

I'd take that deal.
