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

[Eephus]

OK, Mike Lansford with a meaningless late FG.

We will never speak of this again.

 

[Raider Nation]

I knew you guys would eventually see the humor in this shtick.

With the way things were going tonight, I thought I was going to have to break out Gail Goodrich and Happy Hairston

Implosion then a complete meltdown on the umpire by Papeldoosh.

 

[East Coast Bias]

Big series win for he A's to stay in the wild card lead.

 

[Limp Ditka]

Paps probably needs to get a good 20 games for that one. The gesture coupled with the contact.

Joe West needs a couple too.

 

[TobiasFunke]

Media is going to town on Ned Yost, and rightfully so:

Yost

AL Central is basically over, right? IIRC the Royals still have a game to complete that they're trailing 4-2 late, so the margin is actually two games.

Yeah, going 1-6 against this year's version of the Red Sox is not exactly what you're seeking.

I checked after I posted this and saw that they still have a head-to-head series left in KC, so not quite over. But not great.

It's gotta be weird to be in the thick of a pennant race and have an almost guaranteed L hanging over your head just waiting to added to the standings.

Pap

Most unlikable person in baseball. And the load of crap he spewed in the locker room interview? That's right, Paps. You have no idea what Cowboy Joe was talking about.

The guy can't meet Dr James Andrews soon enough.

 

[Raider Nation]

This deGrom fella is something else. The M-E-S-S look to have a sweet rotation next season.

He fanned 8 straight Marlins to start the game tonight. Tied Jim Deshaies' modern MLB record.

 

[Annyong]

Speaking of deGrom, I have him I an auction keeper where we can only keep 4. Is he a no brainier @ $1? I hate keeping pitchers. Is he legit? Like young Chris Sale good? I've never seen him pitch.

 

[Raider Nation]

Uh, yeah.

Is he legit?

Absolutely.

Like young Chris Sale good?

No, but there's no shame in that.

obviously it would depend who your other options were but hes not on Sale's level. Like RN said, not many are

in a four keeper, unless my bats blow or I have a Chris Sale like arm for cheap, I'm keeping four bats.

Guy is a huge doosh, but not sure his jock grab warranted an ejection. Seems Joe West was being an unnecessary attention hog. What did Nathan get for flipping the crowd? 5 minutes of scolding from the internet?

I misunderstood. I thought he meant he can keep 4 pitchers. Yeah, this changes things. He does have a bright future though.

Yeah, pitching was incredibly deep this season. I've never seen anything like it. Three teams in my 13-team roto league with sub-3.00 ERAs. Meanwhile, offensive numbers are way down. Keep the bats, unless you have a top-flight arm.

This was during the heyday of card collecting. I remember one of the early blacked out versions ended up being even rarer than the f-face original. And it set off a feeding frenzy as collectors started identifying other rare versions of cards that hadn't been discovered before. Did anyone ever do an exposé on how Beckett artificially inflated card values and victimized a generation of kids?

Knew what it was without clicking.

I'm a hitterist in fantasy baseball, but depending on what kind of value your hitting options provide, I'd consider deGrom.

My money was on this one.

Bottom of the 9th. Down 3-0. The Nationals are about to clinch the NL East at Turner Field.

Idiot Braves fans still doing the tomahawk chop

Almost got in a fight with a Beckett employee in a bar about 15 years ago in Texas regarding this.

Candidate for quote of the year:

Andrew Baggarly @CSNBaggs · 8h

I asked Peavy if he's amped for next start at LA: "I won't lie. I was just in the shower thinking about Dee Gordon."

I wonder if any team has ever won 2 games by 8+ and lost 2 games by 8+ within a week before.

 

[Bruce Dickinson]

Otis Armstrong TD and three Jim Turner field goals?

Or Craig Morton to Haven Moses twice for TDs and a Tombstone Jackson safety?

 

[Limp Ditka]

 

[Limp Ditka]

I'm assuming that replay is going to lead to a rash of broken wrists, fingers and ankles as players do everything that they can to not lose contact with the base they are sliding into.

Yikes replay. It's a cluster

 

[Limp Ditka]

Let's keep piling on the Braves Faithful

Oooooow Oooooow Owwowo. Owwwww Ow Owwo :tomahawk:

 

[tjnc09]

Does anyone have a resource where you can look at a player's stats with another specific player batting before/after them?

For example, I want to see Miguel Cabrera's stats when Victor Martinez bats behind him and when someone else does.

 

[Limp Ditka]

So add adulterer to Ron Washington's resume.

Not really much else to tell. Overheard two guys sitting next to me talking and realized they worked for Beckett. At first I thought it was cool actually meeting a real person from this entity. But then I asked how it felt ruining the hobby, and then I started raising my voice. Guy bristled up and my cousing walked me away from the situation.

Really rather silly a 30 year old yelling at a guy at a bar about baseball cards.

Yep. Worked in a baseball card shop from '90-'93, and I think there were up to 10 different variations of that card. The scratch out on the handle was the most rare one if I remember right and we had two at one time, pushing the Nolan Ryan rookies out of the top spot in the display for a few days.
