Dolfan in NYC Posted June 1, 2016 Posted June 1, 2016 K-Rod has apparently been diagnosed with the Zika virus. Onto June!
Serious Darius Bagfelt Posted June 1, 2016 Posted June 1, 2016 Quote Grilli becomes the 2nd Jay to play for the team along with his dad - Steve pitched 2.1 innings for the Jays in a game in 1979. John Mayberry and Mayberry Jr were the other father-son combo. If only the Jays could have got Prince Fielder
Pete Posted June 1, 2016 Posted June 1, 2016 Cubs finally broke their 23-game winning streak when Jake Arrieta starts... through no fault of his own, as he hurled 7 scoreless innings for a no-decision. His personal 20-game winning streak remains intact.

His personal 20-game winning streak remains intact. Pretty wild that LAD takes the 1 H SO in the series opener, and then turns it right around on CHC in game 2. I expect both teams to absolutely tee off on one another today. Arrieta was pretty good, as usual. Held LAD to 2 H through his 7 IP. He started missing the zone in his last inning and walked them loaded but struck out Justin Turner looking to end the threat. I can't say enough good stuff about the game Kazmir had, 6 scoreless on 1 H, 1 BB and 7 K. Nice to see him start to find a rhythm. Blanton was excellent as well, 2 perfect innings of relief.
Craig H Posted June 1, 2016 Posted June 1, 2016 Marlon Byrd pissed hot...AGAIN. Idiot. Like no one was going to suspect you going from shit to homerun machine?

grilledcheese Posted June 1, 2016 Posted June 1, 2016 Ron Fowler, executive chairman of the San Diego Padres is not happy. He apparently went on the radio and shredded the team for being "miserable failures". He mentioned Shields by name and basically said that they don't have the right guys in place to compete. Pretty wild. http://www.foxsports.com/mlb/story/san-diego-padres-exec-calls-team-miserable-failures-060116

grilledcheese Posted June 1, 2016 Posted June 1, 2016 (edited) 28 minutes ago, Pete said: Shades of Ray Kroc? He even made reference to Kroc getting on the PA and berating the team in his interview. At least he is familiar with the guy that blazed a trail for him to air out his club in public. "The performance by our team (Tuesday), I can understand how (former owner Ray) Kroc would have grabbed the microphone. It's that frustrating." Edited June 1, 2016 by grilledcheese 1
Joe Lucia Posted June 1, 2016 Posted June 1, 2016 The Padres have never been relevant. I find ownership getting in a huff about them continuing to be irrelevant amazing.

A bigger group of sad sacks would be hard to find. Tony Gwynn deserved better than the Padres.
SirFozzie Posted June 1, 2016 Posted June 1, 2016 Someone test Mookie Betts. Not for PED's. For Cheat Codes. Five Homeruns in his last seven atbats over two games. 1
SirFozzie Posted June 2, 2016 Posted June 2, 2016 Funny thing is they threw a semi inside pitch over his head right before that. @ESPNStatsInfo Mookie Betts is the first player in baseball history to hit a HR in each of the first two innings in consecutive games. (via @EliasSports)
The Man Known as Dan Posted June 2, 2016 Posted June 2, 2016 On Tuesday, Mookie Betts became the 1st Red Sox leadoff hitter to hit homers in both the 1st and 2nd inning of a game. On Wednsday, Mookie Betts became the 2nd Red Sox leadoff hitter to hit homers in both the 1st and 2nd inning of a game.
Ryan Posted June 3, 2016 Posted June 3, 2016 If the Brewers go into the AS break and are near .500 and still trade away all the pieces of remote value on their team, I will be a very sad and semi-angry man. Mostly sad.
grilledcheese Posted June 3, 2016 Posted June 3, 2016 And since we were just talking about how awful they are and always have been, the Padres go out and prove it tonight. Up 12-2 on SEA after 5, the M's got 5 in the 6th and 9 in the 7th and end up winning it 16-13. Mariners got SEVEN consecutive 2 out singles in the 7th!!

Mostly sad. You'd be angry about a bad team rebuilding and trading away assets for assets when it might actually matter instead of trying to stay in a wild card race that is clearly out of their reach. Do you really think the Brewers can not only keep pace with at least 3 of the Cards, Pirates, Mets, Nationals, Giants, and Dodgers, let alone actually gain on them? Cause that's the task the Brewers have in front of them. And I'm not even mentioning the Division, which they are 13 games out of already. 1
ChesterCopperpot Posted June 3, 2016 Posted June 3, 2016 Ridiculous Quote #Nationals Bryce Harper - Last 190 PA: 11 HR #Angels Mike Trout - Last 190 PA: 11 HR #SFGiants Madison Bumgarner - Last 190 PA: 11 HR 1
Craig H Posted June 3, 2016 Posted June 3, 2016 AJ Preller, still employed. Also, I didn't mention it before, but Daniel Murphy being named player of the month for May was a load of bullshit. Murphy in May: 1.096 OPS, .461 wOBA, 193 wRC+, 1.30 WPA. Zobrist in May: 1.137 OPS, .477 wOBA, 204 wRC+, 2.11 WPA. Zobrist has been completely lights out.
Joe Lucia Posted June 3, 2016 Posted June 3, 2016 Murphy had a higher average and a higher SLG. At the end of the day, it's a player of the month award and no one gives a shit when all is said and done. Also, Marcell Ozuna had better stats than both of them, but he's a Marlin, so no one cares.

Semi-angry, I know how the business goes and am resigned to said fate. Hence whyI'd be mostly sad.
grilledcheese Posted June 3, 2016 Posted June 3, 2016 Hunter Pence to the DL, gone at least 8 weeks. He tore his hamstring completely off the bone and will likely have surgery to repair it. Even with all my hatred of SFG, there is no denying how much fun Pence makes watching baseball. Big blow for them, for sure. For a guy that was so durable for so long to get clipped by injury in two consecutive years is pretty shitty.
Hamhock Posted June 4, 2016 Posted June 4, 2016 James Shields to the White Sox for minor leaguers Erik Johnson and Fernando Tatis Jr.; Padres eating half of the contract.
