2016 MLB Season Thread Baseball • Page 97

Just stare at each other instead of catching the ball, guys. I am so embarrassed rn.

Sometimes we look like we've never picked up a baseball before.

 

I'm already preferring Ibanez in the booth.

 

The Red Sox are destroying this pitiful Braves team.

Pedroia has a grand slam and a solo HR.

 

Love Weave and it's been so sad to see him lose that edge he had on his fastball. Nice seeing those stats though. He's still the best competitor on the Angels.

 

I hope Neil Walker hits 80 HRs and 20 in the playoffs and the Mets win the World Series. Fuck the Pirates for letting him go over some petty bullshit.

 

Not going to lie, I will never understand why only the Cards and Cubs can get their shit together in the NL Central. At least the Pirates aren't the Reds or Brewers right now, there's something to feel better about.

 

Thank I might start checking out AA games once this semester ends, Let's go SA Missions I guess.

 

Jose Quintana is so good.

 

Criminally underrated for 5 years running.

 

Darvish starting rehab assignment on Sunday. I'm excited.

 

Definitely. I love that, though. Been able to buy low on him in fantasy leagues is fun.

 

Ibanez has my heart forever because of 2009

 

Wish they could just play 162 against the Braves.

 

Good read for the Braves' fans here on how the team's ownership milks taxpayers. The Braves Play Taxpayers Better Than They Play Baseball

This stuff bothers me way more than the tanking.

 

this guy again though

 

Was LaRoche that bad of an influence or what? These Sox have looked good this year.

I don't think I'm aware of this, care to share?

Astros that bad huh?! You could always root for the Rangers, we'll accept you.

Also what team are the Missions affiliated with now, still Padres?

Who do you think gets bumped?

 

Who/what is that?

 

Huntington always had it out for him because he didn't draft Walker and just never liked him. Then one time Walker said something to the media, I forget what exactly, and the writing was on the wall after that. Just stupid shit. I was sad to see him go.

 

Yeah idk lol. My dad's a Sox fan and said the same thing. Pitching is what's getting it done this year though. 10 runs let up over a 5 game win streak and already 5 shutouts on the year. That's impressive.

 

Oh damn I didn't know about that stuff. I always thought it was just the money. Sucks that he's no longer a Pirate, but at least he didn't leave a huge hole in our infield/lineup or anything. We've got a pretty solid lineup overall, and when Kang comes back shortly we'll have some depth, too.

 

Yeah they've been playing good and we still have Kang coming back. Just a shame since he was born and raised here. I always liked the story of a city kid playing for his favorite team. I hope he continues his success with the Mets.

 

This whole article is great

Adrian Beltre turned a really awkward swing into a yoga pose

 

If things stay as they are I'd send Perez to AAA for a bit.

 

That's my thoughts as well, him or Holland. Griffin has be surprisingly great, which i'm happy about.

 

This could not be a more accurate representation of my feelings this year.
