  • Re: MLB 2018.1: ...And The Nationals Will Not Make It Out of the First Round

    Second game in a row the A's have had a starter go out early with an injury. Triggs went 2 1/3 yesterday before he had some sort of nerve pain that forced him out, today Anderson goes an inning and strains his shoulder.

      In their first two games against the Blue Jays, A’s starters have combined to go 3.1 innings. The A’s have won both games.

          'Make Baseball Fun Again', they said, just 'not too much fun.'

              If they wanna put fun into baseball let them fight. Instead of posturing all the time and hoping they get held back when the benches clear, fine or suspend players that leave the benches. Let these bit-ches go at it. Bet there would be 0 fights though.

                    mookie is reading a book on the early 70s A's.

                    so far two funny quips.
                    -rollie fingers retired rather than adhere to the clean shaven policy on the Reds. he was quoted as "she (marge) has more facial hair than I do"
                    -in the 72 WS manager dick Williams actually went and took the field in the first base coaches box for an inning to berate the ump. when he returned at the end of the inning bowie Kuhn called the dugout and told him if he tried it again he would be fined, heavily.

                      Blue Jays with the worst defensive performance I've ever seen (5 unearned runs off of errors) and go down 9-0 to the A's...and for the 9th they have DH Kendrys Morales pitch

                        Speaking of the Jays, Guerrero Jr. went 4-4 with a walk-off homer in the first game of a DH today. That's 8 HR and a .423 avg on the year with an OBP of .423 and an OPS of 1.173.

                        His career stats:
                        Rookie ball - .271 BA
                        Low A - .316
                        High A - .333
                        Double A - .423

                        That puts him on a trajectory to be a .499 hitter in MLB.

                        I got to see him a play a few times when he was playing for the Lugnuts. Everyone knows the story of how Ted Williams asked the very elite hitters if they could smell the burnt wood of the bat when they fouled one off. On a variation of that, you can tell how much better Vlad is just based on the sound his bat makes. Without a doubt the loudest I've heard in a minor league stadium, and that includes MLBers down on rehab assignments.

                          It is fun to watch a game where someone is waaaaayyyyyyy better than everyone else. Watched those kinds of games as a kid when Strawberry played for the Saints, and again in college summers when Granderson played for the Moondogs.

                              Against the Isotopes? Is taupe one of their team colors? Mad Bum should know it's an exhibition and not try to strike out 5 guys in the first inning.
