back 2 back by drake u mean
Nelson Cruz is an elite power hitter in the league. He's coming off back to back 40 bomb seasons. He led the league with 44 HRs last year and had a .936 OPS. He won the Silver Slugger and was a legit MVP candidate. He's good.
If you don't know anyone else on the Mariners it's just because you don't give a shit. I totally understand, but it doesn't mean a thing besides that.
If the season ended today I'd have to say David Ortiz is the AL MVP. 40 years old and he's absolutely killing it.
Right, because getting old and being overweight totally helps bat speed and pitch recognition and confidence. Everyone knows that...
Everything Ortiz is doing at the plate is hard. He's an old, fat, pure pull hitter that every pitcher in the league knows everything about. Him playing first base wouldn't make much difference.
Absolutely agree, I want big papi to get an MVP and be a first ballot hof. Papi get's in the same year Edgar makes it.
Well shit
Put a roof on that shithouse.
Just kidding, Gyps. :)
:P
Moose is out for the year is what that post was about.
Oh, that blows.
Definitely less than ideal. :/
No more magic in kc I guess. Wtf happened to kendrys eh? He and vmart are rotating good years.
Yeah he is having a terrible year. This team will fight for a playoff spot I think. If not, I think they need to seriously think about moving guys they don't think they can keep (Hosmer for one) in exchange for prospects.
For what it's worth, most of Kendry's numbers ay he shouldn't be that bad, babip, launch angle, exit velocity, etc, everything lines up for him just being average this year. He might just be an anomaly on the chart this year
That does not help. It's probably just the repercussions of the devil magic used to win the WS.
Heading down to the game to watch King Felix. Got tickets in the King's Court.
I might post drunk later.
Motherfuck.
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWEEEEEE boys. Did not think that was going to be a W.
You guys were down 7-1 in the bottom of the 9th and won? Lol. Holy shit, dude. That's amazing.
FIRST FUCKING PLACE. Kind of...
This central race could be wild.
royals blood magic. some game of thrones bull shit
First place for real now. Before June. Never would have guessed that after the series vs the Yankees.
Mariners were down 12-2 in San Diego in the 6th inning. They scored 14 runs and are now up 16-13. Crazy shit.
Braves aren't done selling the house yet it seems.
It would be fantastic if James Paxton of the Seattle team would wreck CLE. I'm borderline hovering up and down the money line on my contest today and I'm starting him and it says he is 0.0% owned. So if he has a big day or at least a respectable day I think it's likely I'll place. Fucking Mets got postponed so I'm playing down a player too.
God damn it, apparently Joc Pederson isn't in the lineup anymore now too. So now I'm down two players. He was in the lineup when I checked earlier. uuuuuuuggggghhhhhh.
James Paxton you better get infinite strike outs and pitch a perfect game I want my money back.
Man, the Royals are extremely hot and cold this year.
Rough night, Gyps.
Thought Ventura was past that shit.
Really sucks because Ventura has godtier stuff/potential and his temper is definitely holding him back.
Also, saw a funny tweet that said: "The MLB needs to show they're serious about this and have Ventura and Machado play 6 games for the Braves as punishment."
I mean, your strength isn't going to dissipate over night or over years even. I would hope someone would be good at pitch recognition if they've been playing at the MLB level for 19 years. And it's easy to be confident when somehow, miraculously, at 40, you're on pace to set career highs in every stat.
I don't hate the redsox, but being a DH is the easiest job in baseball. Nothing he's doing is impressive, nor will it ever be impressive at this point for me because if you're not hitting north of .270 anyways then you shouldn't be getting paid to exclusively hit and be an (overweight)athlete.
Batting is only down versus pitching because of the mound changes. It'll get lowered again someday or the strikezone will be altered and the bats will catch fire again and no one will care. David Ortiz isn't even the best player on his team right now.
Scratch that, looks like fangraphs thinks bogz is better in terms of WAR. Ortiz is #2 on his team and #10 in baseball. Red sox are just incredible all around though.
When does suspensions happen for Machado for charging the plate? I thought it would be right away but he just hit a HR.
Players generally appeal suspensions and the suspensions don't start until that appeal is heard, which is usually the first time the team has an off day or between series.
How long is something like that though? Like a couple games or do they just do fines?
He'll probably get something relative to what the pitcher misses. So 1 start for a pitcher (which is typically every 5 days) I'd imagine would be a 5 game suspension for Machado.
