**Official 2014 MLB Regular Season-All over but the shouting (2 Viewers)

[Good Posting Judge]

Darvish to the DL with elbow inflammation.

 

[Premier]

If season ended today:

Oakland vs. Anaheim/Detroit

Kansas City vs. Baltimore

Just like we all drew it up.

 

[Raider Nation]

Pineda is starting Wednesday.

Perfect through 4 in Baltimore (on ESPN) and the ball is moving.

 

[Raider Nation]

I'm a magician.

Same thing happened today in SF and in Queens, guy was out in SF, safe in Queens (exact same positioning). Mets would have tied the game in the bottom of the ninth too.

Horrible, they have no idea how to call this.

 

[pantagrapher]

I like the ball throw-back switcheroo. It's the mark of a well-prepared fan, and I think the gesture itself should be taken in the good humor it's intended. Any true baseball fan wants to keep that ball. I could see if the ball-throwback was a gesture of genuine hatred, but it's not. It's supposed to be fun.

 

[Bogart]

Darvish to the DL with elbow inflammation.

With Texas' season lost, I would be all in favor of being super cautious and shutting him down.

The Yanks' season is over. Can we get the "Bonerface" title back?

TIA

I'm looking forward to changing the title tomorrow night after McCarthy gets shelled. Who do we like now?

PHIL HUGHES. his xFIP is only 3.20 and BB/9 just .9!

When the black smoke stack from the souls of Expos fans is released, you will know we have a new commissioner.

[Donkey Derp]

Cleveland is very heavy in the left handed hitters dept. Their season stats as L are .263/.336/.414 and third in OPS at .750.

Dickerson, Brantley, Murphy, Ramirez (both), Kipnis, Chisenhall, and Santana (both) all can bat left. Not only that, he goes up against Kluber. Let's really see how valuable McCarthy is as a Yankee after that game.

Cleveland's first game in NY sees them hit .324/.381/.405 scoring as many runs as Detroit did in their entire four game series.Tomorrow, we see McCarthy actually open as a slight (word usage for Long Ball Larry) favorite with a 50.2% win probability.

how did nuno do in his last start vs a weak hitting kc team?

Are you talking about the team with the highest away batting average in the league?

lmfao at using AWAY batting average. How about 20th in the majors in OPS vs lefties. Youre a ####in disaster. Please leave the thread.

great call on the Royals being weak. Takes notes: whenever shady says something, do the OPPOSITE

I assume this is better than Werner?

 

[Good Posting Judge]

Way to sort out the whole A's/Giants issue, Bud!

I assume this is better than Werner?

i think so. reinsdorf wanted werner because he would be tougher in labor negotiations.

 

[Good Posting Judge]

Yeah, Reinsdorf wants a lockout. #### that ####. Werner's also (somewhat predictably) flip-flopped on rev sharing, going from SD to Boston. I mean I guess all owners are self-interested.

Wolff voted for Werner, apparently because he's an ally of Reinsdorf (ugh) and he thought Werner would do a better job of growing the game, but I haven't read anything on where either would come down on the BAL/WAS or SF/OAK disputes.

 

[Wrigley]

Sounds to me like RDorf wants a salary cap, not a lockout

 

[Premier]

Shame he didn't win then.

 

[Good Posting Judge]

Can only get to a the former via the latter.

Than I say go for it.

We're the ones paying in the end either way

I don't think I would be excited to face the Mariners in the postseason if they get there.

 

[Doctor Detroit]

I don't think I would be excited to face the Mariners in the postseason if they get there.

Yeah, they are pretty good.

One game playoff against Mariners would not end well

well this is why i like the second wild card. Assuming king felix pitches that game he wont be available for games two and three of the division series. Iwakuma is good but hes not felix.

 

[Doctor Detroit]

Don't look now, but Mike Trout has been terrible lately. MVP is finally his for the taking, and he's gonna come up short.

took three years for him to have his first slump.

Guess who else has been terrible lately. =/

Just spent a really boring evening watching the Royals and the Twins, but my lord Target Field is amazing. You Minnesota folk are fortunate to have that place.

Just got on the train from the game. The team is very uninteresting and terrible, but yes, the stadium is really nice and good fun.

That train is awesome too. Wish we had that back home. But damn was it packed going to the game.

 

[the moops]

if I knew you were here Cappy we could have gotten drunk and hugged out our past differences.

Yea I didn't even think to post about it. In for some work stuff for a few days. Nice area you have. Really impressed.The people are so ridiculously nice here too. Some 95-year-old lady could tell I was lost and walked me to the train pickup. I told her that in florida somebody would have just told me to get bent. No humidity here either.

Florida really sucks. I gotta get the F out of there.

now you know why he didnt tell you

 

[Annyong]

Glad to see McCutchen back today. Just hope they aren't rushing him back, and he re-aggravates it.

 

[rodg12]

Few days old now, but had to mention this here. Dee Gordon's shirt is awesome.

 

[Doctor Detroit]

Me and my buddy went Wrigley a couple weeks back and agreed our next stadium stop is Minnesota. Maybe do Milwaukee on same trip

 

[Raider Nation]

Uh oh, Richards.... :(

 

[BobbyLayne]

Uh oh, Richards.... :(

Looks like he caught his spikes; hope that's not serious but it looked bad.

 

[Raider Nation]

Awful. Looks like a broken ankle.
