Dolfan in NYC Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 Jeter is (probably) going back on the DL. And the All-Star Break is next week. Also, Yasiel Puig is very good at baseball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Lucia Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 Matt Thornton got traded to the Red Sox. Of course, the White Sox deal him THREE OR FOUR YEARS TOO LATE, and his value is pretty much gone right now. All they got was a prospect who is a top 15, but not top ten, guy in Boston's system. Man...teams are fucking dumb for hanging on to middle relievers for too long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Lucia Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 The Astros just gave Altuve a steal of an extension: 4/12.5, with two club options that can push the deal to 6/25. He's the same age as Starlin Castro, and while Castro is clearly a better player, is he worth more than twice as much money over the same time period?

odessasteps Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 I just now realized i could watch mlb.tv through my tivo. I think that brings the total to six ways to watch it now (TiVo, laptop, ipad, blu ray, phone, xbox) BAM, i love you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zac_Fu Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 1. Max Sherzer is still a beast, I don't care if he dropped one to the Rangers. 2. I'm kinda surprised I'm not seeing Puig make the fan vote for the all star game. I know Freeman's solid and all, but everyone has been going Puig crazy since he got called up and went yard. Edited for spelling errors. Yes, baseball's gonna be veddy veddy go to Puig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piranesi Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 If you'd like something to take you mind off tonight's bullshit, Tim Lincecum is three outs away from a no-hitter. The third out in the eighth was secured by a miraculous diving catch by Hunter Pence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OlSchool Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 So, surely there has to be something up with Raul Ibanez being the best power hitter in Seattle. Guys like Josh Hamilton, Justin Upton, etc, have turned down chances to get (over)paid to play in the PNW. Yet, 41 year old Raul Ibanez has crushed 24 HR in half a season. Shouldn't this prove to other power hitters that Safeco isn't necessarily a bad place to play? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greggulator Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 I love no-hitters. I hate Lincecum and the Giants. This is the best scenario possible: A no-hitter that will probably cause the end of Lincecum's career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MakeMineGeek Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 After hearing about Lincecum's 148 pitches last night, I was doing some research to see what the most pitches thrown in a game were. Turns out the stat wasn't actually tracked until about 1988 but there are sports historians who believe Nolan Ryan threw 240 pitches in a 13 inning game where he walked 10 and struck out 19. Good article related to the subject here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRGoldman Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 How awesome would it be if someone threw 240 pitches in today's game? ESPN would froth at the mouth for an hour until footage of Tim Tebow playing catch with Tom Brady at mini camp surfaced, and then we would never hear about it again.

cubbymark Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 Didn't Johan Santana throw 160 plus in his no-hitter with the Mets? If I'm Lincecum, I'd be very afraid! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimLivingston Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 Lincecum's never had arm issues before and has thrown a bunch of pitches in plenty of games before. He'll be fine, especially with the All-Star Break acting as a good place to rest the arm. If the Giants get back to .500, this is going to be one hell of a stretch run.

Cristobal Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 Speaking of no-hitters, in his first ever major league start, Boston rookie Brandon Workman has taken a no-hitter through 6 against the A's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cristobal Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 And if no one's noticed.... this man is on pace to break Bonds' single season HR record. Erm, well if the ASB came at exactly the midpoint in the season, that'd be correct, but with 37 HR in 96 games, he's on pace for 62. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LooseCannon Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 We have some Mets fans here, right? Jordany Valdespin went down fighting. According to a Mets source, the volatile utilityman, upon learning he had been demoted to Triple-A Las Vegas on Saturday, got into a confrontation with Terry Collins, during which he called the manager a “c--ksucker.” The source said Valdespin, in the course of his heated exchange with Collins, also tried to invent an injury and demanded to be placed on the disabled list.

Brian Fowler Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 Miggy is on pace for a better season than he had last year. If Davis cools off a bit in the second half, he's got a good shot at back to back triple crowns, as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
