2016 MLB Season Thread Baseball • Page 49

I like Trout because I feel in love with his defense. Not saying Harper is bad but I just haven't seen any highlights of his.

I love good defensive outfielders.

Jim Edmonds was my favorite growing up.

 

Sad but baseball.

I was literally talking about baseball and all its issues garnering new fans with my friend the other day and that's the first thing that came up. Innings take forever and there's a million commercials.

 

fuck yes Springer!

 

well at least you can't say it's not exciting

 

Pineda is just shit.

 

but then you get stuff like what just happened!

 

i would happily undo the pineda-montero trade in a heartbeat.

 

Edmonds was so money. Him and Torii Hunter were some of the best defensive CF's I've had the privilege to watch. I loved Vlad Guerrero, too. His arm was just incredible.

 

Is Montero even with the Mariners anymore?

 

I don't even know why Pineda is the no. 2 pitcher. Should be Severino, than Eovaldi. Ugh.

 

we cut him before the season opened and i think the jays grabbed him

 

WHAT A PLAY!

 

I'm very worried about the pitching this year. Even more so then last season. I guess that's why we loaded the bullpen because we know our starters won't make it 6 innings.

 

I love outfielders gunning guys down. Infielders make great plays but it has nothing on the art of a great outfield play.

 

Man the Ortiz farewell tour is off to a good start, 2 home runs already!

 

Molina has a gun.

 

Yeah, Severino is the only one I have any confidence in. Pineda has horrible makeup, gets rattled so easily. Eovaldi was great once he learned the splitter but he hurt his arm. Tanaka, just worried that elbow will go any day. And Sabathia was beaten by Nova and still they gave him the spot of course. Ugh. Not that Nova was great last year. And Mitchell looked great and breaks his foot. Lol goddamnit. The staff could all go to hell very quickly. If every single person stays healthy they could be solid. But of course that won't happen.

 

The phenomena surrounding Cespedes when we was gunning guys down each game with the A's was surreal. Now he's back to dropping fly balls lol

 

I wish I could find the video when Ankiel gunned down a guy from the wall at third years ago. Funny how he couldn't throw at strike as a pitcher but threw perfect throws home from the outfield.

 

haha what the fuck is this game

 

Same old story: if we stay healthy. We've been loading up on pitching prospects once we realized Brackman and Banuelos weren't going to work. There was so much hype around the B's. Between Severino, Montgomery, Mitchell, and Hensley, something has to click.

 

This one was pretty money. I could watch these all day!

 

Going to be so funny when Stras loses this game 1-0

 

Brett Gardner has walked 3 times so far this game and we aren't even through 3 innings.

 

This Sox game has turned in to a pretty good game
