2015 MLB Thread (Little things that keep you up)

[R2D2]

Phils fans feel the same way that we did in 1996. Good times.

Ya, but at least Ruben wasn't their GM back then.

I am telling you, the Padres get a quality 2B and they are in good shape for the long season, assuming they can tighten up the shitshow errors that seem to happen every game.

So many years' worth of bad teams, but this feels a lot like those teams of the late 90's, early 2000's in that they don't just lay down and die when they get down a few runs. Decent enough through the lineup, good bullpen, good front of the rotation guys, a few big bats. Nice buzz around town...

The '98 season started like this, too.

2B is fine. 1B and SS are terrible.

 

[bruin]

just be weary of Kemp breaking down by mid July.

 

[ebarws6]

6 wins for the A's so far, 5 shutouts

@Hike u get a ring?

Steroids be a helluva drug.

man I want to sit in "THE KINGS COURT" one time when Felix is pitching.. he is on fire tonight

We did this last year. I saw probably his worst home start

that sucks..safeco seems awesome though.. especially that little party deck in the outfield

 

[Orlando]

It was a rad park. Roof was open the first 3 innings, then got to see them close it. Pretty cool.

 

[Mr. Radpants]

If Lawrie didn't deserve to get a fastball to the elbow no one ever has.

 

[Packfan]

#Cubs hitters are averaging 3.95 pitches per plate appearances, which is 1st in the NL and 4th in #MLB

[Gooksta]

Cubs starting staff has the best FIP also from what I read.

 

[Mr. Radpants]

World Serious.

[ebarws6]

Lorenzo Cain just got hit in the shoe and benches almost cleared again in KC

 

[Packfan]

Is it just me or are the Royals in some sort of fight everyday.

 

[Gooksta]

Sharp ground ball back to Lester. He snags it, ball gets stuck in webbing. Lester tosses glove to first. Shades of Terry Mulholland.

 

[Karl Hungus]

Do they play the Barves this year?

Maybe he should do that for his pickoff throws?

Zack Greinke is 20-1 against the NL West at Dodger Stadium.

 

[goblue96]

Zack Greinke is 20-1 against the NL West at Dodger Stadium.

So, he's got that going for him.

A new tradition was born at Wrigley this weekend

 

[Packfan]

Strange Daze at Wrigley, just a lady and her puppet

 

[goblue96]

A new tradition was born at Wrigley this weekend

A tradition unlike any other.

 

[R2D2]

Odubel Herrera is the future. @goblue96

 

[goblue96]

one slap single at a time.

 

[ebarws6]

So now in the 8th Kelvin Herrera throws a 100mph fastball way inside to Brett Lawrie, then another behind him at 100 on the next pitch, after which he was tossed. While walking off the field after being tossed, Herrera pointed to his head and was yelling at Lawrie. Wtf mayne

And it's a close game at 2-1 in the 8th with the Royals losing. So unnecessary.

 

[Yankee151]

Why is everyone throwing at Lawrie did I miss something

 

[Mr. Radpants]

He slid dirty at Escobar and dislocated his knee. Why are they throwing at Lawrie? Such mystery!

 

[Mr. Radpants]

Actually though, it's just overkill at this point. They had to throw at him yesterday, point made.

 

[Mr. Radpants]

A new tradition was born at Wrigley this weekend

The tradition of heckling your top prospect when they have a rough first game?

 

[doh]

I actually thought the slide from Lawrie wasn't all that bad. I thought he hit he bag and his feet came up.

Herrera really is a complete POS if he is still throwing at him. You get one chance to plunk him but two days later? That's a joke.

 

[Mr. Radpants]

Strange Daze at Wrigley, just a lady and her puppet

Fan characters, these are the worst. We have a bunch at Nats park, including one of these Monkey Puppet voodoo masters. There's also some prick in a blue sequin shirt and matching single glove that I want to throw off the Red Porch.

 

[Mr. Radpants]

 

[ebarws6]

Kazmir hit Lorenzo Cain in the foot earlier today when he had an inside target which the Royals probably interpreted as him retaliating for the shit from yesterday, which is dumb. If you're throwing at a guy, you're not throwing at his foot.

 

[ebarws6]

But in other news Dale Sveum is managing the Royals right now because Ned Yost + their pitching and bench coaches have all been tossed lol

 

[Mr. Radpants]

ESPN should have kicked the Cards to the curb and hosted this war on national television tonight.

 

[Bdub]

So..... can the Cubs have their own thread?

 

[doh]

ESPN should have kicked the Cards to the curb and hosted this war on national television tonight.

Another Cards Sunday night game? Awesome. Couldn't get the Yanks?

 

[Mr. Radpants]

Another Cards Sunday night game? Awesome. Couldn't get the Yanks?

I was whining about this last week.

 

[pavel]

So the best team in baseball history needed extra innings to avoid being swept at home by the third-place team in the NL West

 

[Mr. Radpants]

Is this a troll or something? It's from February, hopefully it has been changed.

No, it's not a troll. It is real.

^^^ love it. A's brand of ball is play with heart ALWAYS. Remarkable how Beane finds these guys-- and how the organization motivates them

 

[Mr. Radpants]

Thought Ike Davis was Adam Laroche on like 3 of these videos until I remembered he signed with Chicago.
