No shame in losing that one. Tanaka is ridiculous.

This Jose Abreu fellow is PrettyGood

Quite the pitchers duel the Yankees & Mets rookies put on last night.
Until Girardi blinked first and pulled Chase Whitley at 74 pitches. Good game regardless. |
Lol Ricky Romero walked 9 batters in 2.2 innings in Triple A tonight.
Wow, just wow. |
Earning his big league spot back for sure!

Does anybody know what a "Chief Baseball Officer" is?
|
I think an umpire is a baseball officer.
CB Bucknor is the law. |

The MLB At the Ballpark app has a ridiculous feature where you can catalog past games that you've been to all the way back to 2005 and it will spit out ridiculous shit like the Diamondbacks are 23-8 in games I've attended since 2007.
|
Damn that's sweet. I gotta enter games nice been to in it. Always forget to use the app when im actually physically at games
|
Usually because in way too bombed to use a phone properly. Woo baseball!

Classic Alburquerque
Every good pitch he throws is followed by 2-3 awful ones |
Red Sox signed Stephen Drew to a 1 year, $10 million deal.
|
Boston must have been desperate. Drew probably could have gotten more if he hung back till after the Rule 5 draft. More suitors might have came his way.
Because of this, the Red Sox lost a draft pick. |
A bit but also didn't really need Drew either. Red Sox bigger issue was his salary more than the draft pick status which is why they didn't care when he rejected arbitration or the initial offer.
Its possible he could have gotten more suitors later in the season but probably also would have gotten less for money. |
I'm glad it was the Sox pissing away a pick this year instead of the Tigers for signing Drew. Bullet dodged
|
<font color=goldenrod>Why would the Sox lose a pick? The whole point of the qualifying offer is that another team who signs him has to give a pick to Boston. Boston wouldn't have to forfeit anything by signing him.
Cost himself $4 million this year though.</font> |
Drew's classified as a Type A free agent. But I think there's some language in the CBA about he's gotta be on the roster for the entire season.
|
Hate the draft pick comp tagged on free agents. It hampers their value, and it makes teams who may otherwise look into signing a valuable guy like Drew turn the other cheek. Double negative, baseball fans. Wish they just did away with it.
In Padres news, Andrew Cashner is dl'd with elbow soreness. MRI revealed irritation but nothing serious thus far. Meanwhile, Bud Black continues to baffle me by batting a .277 obp in the 2 hole, and benches a .281/.317 avg/obp centerfielder for one hitting .199/.274. Fucking why? |
And their fucking splits against RHP is about the same, with Maybin hitting better against. I hate our lousy manager.
|
Chris Davis announced he fixed his swing during BP and then went out and clobbered 3 home runs. I think its fixed.
|
Edwin Encarsmashion
|
RP's client, the Chicago Cubs, ended Masahiro Tanaka's streak.
|
OUR CLIENT, MIKE OLT, CONQUERED THE STREAK.
|
I'll take that win.

Lol Jesus is Encarnacion ever on fire.

:nono: Red Sox pitching

Soooooooo, Miguel Olivo likes the taste of flesh.
From ESPN.com Miguel Olivo, accused of biting off part of teammate Alex Guerrero's ear in a dugout altercation Tuesday, has been suspended by the Los Angeles Dodgers for his part in the incident. The Dodgers announced Wednesday that Olivo will remain on the suspended list at Triple-A Albuquerque, "pending the completion of an investigation." The Dodgers have had little comment about the altercation, which sent Guerrero to the hospital and could cause him to miss as much as five weeks, according to sources. Agent Scott Boras, who represents Guerrero, said Tuesday that his client needed plastic surgery on his ear as a result of a bite from Olivo. Neither Olivo nor his representatives have commented publicly. Guerrero, the Cuban infielder signed for $28 million this past winter, remained on the Albuquerque roster as of Wednesday evening. According to the Salt Lake City police, Guerrero declined to file a complaint with the police about the incident, which would have been the first step toward criminal prosecution. Last season, Olivo was placed on the restricted list by the Miami Marlins after he left the team without permission. Olivo also has displayed a hot temper on the field before, charging at Jose Reyes and missing with a wild punch during a dustup between the Marlins and New York Mets late in the 2007 season. Ironically, in a spring training interview with Telemundo posted by SB Nation, Olivo said that if he weren't a baseball player, he would like to be a boxer like Mike Tyson -- but without biting an ear off. Tyson infamously bit off part of Evander Holyfield's ear during a 1997 bout. |
