Here come all the scrubs.

Miggy is good.

People who don't see him in the field every day should also realize he's pretty good at 3B. He'll never win a fielding bible award but he's not anywhere near the disaster some make him out to be. Most of the errors he makes are on easy plays to be honest, just loses concentration at times.

Fangraphs has him at -12 so far this year with a projection of -21 for the year. Fielding bible has him at -10.Longoria on the other hand is projected for +21.2 on fangraphs which makes for a 42 run differential. Obviously Miggy makes up for a lot of that with his insane hitting.

But he sucks at defense.

He doesn't and you are one of the people I was talking about. You're the same guy that said last year how great your Rays were defensively and they were 26th in MLB in fielding and gave up the third most unearned runs. So I'll take your opinion with a huge grain of salt. Keep quoting the sabermetrics fielding stuff though, makes Jhonny Peralta one of the best shortstops in baseball year in and year out.

Yea people are just making all that stuff up.

Delabar!

Sick gun on Machado.

He's no Longoria.

Spoiler

That's because he plays more than 50 games a year.

Longoria never beat the #### out of his wife and got arrested two days before a play-in game that his team lost.

We've talked advanced fielding stats ad naseum here and elsewhere, most agree it is not nearly as exact as pitching or hitting sabers. If you want to believe it, that's cool. Also Red says high, he's in Hawaii at some nudist thing.

Also are we blaming that loss on Cabrera? First I'm hearing of this, let me check my 2009 notebook.

Lol

No just a ####ty time to check in with a .26 and a battered old lady.

I don't understand Leyland'a logic on Mo. We could blow the lead and then he doesn't get to pitch? Why not just bring him in if the lead is slipping?

 

[Doctor Detroit]

WTF is that pre-windup position for Kimbrell all about?

Stupid Torii Hunter, he's better at speeches than he is at hitting.

You assume Leyland has logic, that was your first mistake.

You guys have seen Longo's wife, right? YEP. She was a Playboy centerfold as well.

Just had a kid though, so she's all done.

And now with Jim Ross

 

[Raider Nation]

OH NEIL.

 

[Premier]

Neil Diamond? Why is he here? Why are they singing this?

 

[otello]

Lame

 

[Premier]

Oh my god.

 

[Long Ball Larry]

Whotf likes this song?

How drunk is Neil?

 

[Premier]

 

[mquinnjr]

Brutal.

#*@(#@)= Brutal.

 

[Raider Nation]

No idea why they keep rolling Neil Diamond's corpse out there. They did it at Fenway earlier this year, and his lip-synching was botched.

 

[Premier]

ENTER SEAN CONNERY

 

[Doctor Detroit]

Now you know what Tiger fans are always #####ing about, guy just has no sense with his bullpen. Down 2-1 in the 8th? Bring in Phil Coke to face three righties when Phil has like a 1.500 OPS against vs righties. Maybe Mo goes 2 innings, who knows what Smoky is thinking.

 

[Raider Nation]

ENTER SANDMAN BITCHES!

 

[Raider Nation]

Please don't give up 4 straight HRs.

 

[sporthenry]

They should let him pitch the whole inning by himself.

 

[Premier]

Would've been so much cooler if that previous 5 minutes didn't happen.

Yea. I still don't get it. Whatever.

‏@OldHossRadbourn

N. Diamond singing is a far greater crime against the integrity of base ball than Biogenesis, "Bud" Selig.

 

[Premier]

@OldHossRadbourn: "Best poxed, toothless whore." "Best relief pitcher." I suppose we all have our niches.

 

[Premier]

"Don't pitch to him with men on base"

Good call Tim

 

[Doctor Detroit]

Old Hoss is on a roll tonight

 

[Doctor Detroit]

According to Statsinc, Bruce Sutter was the last pitcher to get a 2 inning save in an All-Star game (1980).

If there is a number less than zero, that's the chances of him pitching the 9th.

Chic ‏@Chiccywood 6m

Mariano Rivera would get +4.7 WAR if he threw a cutter at Neil Diamond.

Why on earth did they make mariano pitch the 8th? Wouldnt it have been cool for him to close out his last AS game?

If the NL took the lead in the 8th, there would have been no 9th for him to pitch. I'm fine with it.

 

[irish eyes]

Has there ever been a worse all star team than this national league team. What a pile of crap. And when are the announcers going down on rivera, must be be soon. What a joke!

 

[Raider Nation]

^ Oof

LOL @ Prince

You asked, I answered. And we're not talking about the Marlins here. These are All-Stars.

The mb all star game is actually as bad as the nfl pro bowl, didn't think it was possible
