**Official 2014 MLB Regular Season-All over but the shouting (3 Viewers)

[Limp Ditka]

Walking through the dugout and got Afflicted

 

[Limp Ditka]

Affliction

 

[Raider Nation]

I watch more Astros games than any person should, because I'm a degenerate gambler. Jason Castro has such a beautiful stroke. I'd be surprised if he's not hitting .300 year-in and year-out down the line. And Springer is such a good-looking prospect, though you don't see that reflected in his numbers just yet. That team is gonna be a handful in a few years when all of their young talent matures. Until, of course, they trade all of them.

 

[FDAS]

Braun is basically the jewy anti-christ at the point, no?

 

[Northern Voice]

I nominate Mark Ellis as the worst-hitting non-pitcher currently in the major leagues.

Definitely in the team picture.

If you look closely, that's Colby Rasmus standing right behind Carlos Santana

I nominate Freddy Galvis for President. Going 1 for 27 on the season for a lusty .037 and playing in his 5th straight game.

J.P. Arencibia can give him a run for his money.

 

[strykerpks]

Segura needs plastic surgery (read stitches). Probably won't go on the dl though, at least early reports are saying

Caught one in the on-deck circle? Missed the story there.

Braun warming up at the top of the dugout. Brings the bat back with the weight on it right into Segura's face.

Don't Jews usually like the blacks? I know they all like me, especially the broads.

 

[Raider Nation]

Stanton has Piazza-esque opposite field power. Just wait until the weather warms up. My God, he is scary.

Segura is Dominican. Do they count as blacks? Where's icon when you need him?

 

[avoiding injuries]

Chris Davis to the DL. Ugh

He was pressing in every at bat since his power numbers started the season off slowly. Over swinging on almost every pitch and I guess the oblique couldn't handle it.

 

[shadyridr]

Bryce harper certainly injury prone

Anyone could correct me, I don't know that they will. I think they knew that they were in a bad situation and just decided to rebuild from scratch. I think they are committed to being good long term, not like a marlins situation.

Adam Jones casually drifts back on a routine fly ball.

Adam Jones casually drops routine fly ball.

He's such a stiff.

 

[Mr. Pickles]

Everyone is awful. There. I said it.

 

[Raider Nation]

Hang on, I'm not done yet.

What's with striking out, then glaring at the pitcher? Lester just humiliated Reyes on three straight pitches. After the third one, Reyes glares at Lester for ten seconds like a tough guy as he's walking back to the dugout. Here's an idea... SIT THE #### DOWN!!!

I'm trying to trade Jose Abreu for him.

Don't sleep on Matt Kemp. He just made De La Rosa look like a legitimate major league pitcher.

Dan Uggla thinks you guys are funny for not mentioning him.

 

[GroveDiesel]

Oh, and after losing Medlen and Beachy before the season started, Atlanta's starting rotation through 24 games has around a 1.63 ERA. Totally crazy.

 

[fasteddie_21]

One of the worst blown calls today in the Reds/Braves game. Cueto pickoff and was CLEARLY out. Not even a little close. Reviewed and still called safe?

WTF is the point of replay when you can't get obvious #### like that right? Someone needs to lose their job based on the implementation of this 'system'.

If they were saying that was too close to overturn then pickoffs shouldn't be reviewable. It's basically impossible to pick someone off by more than that.

Who's this Christopher Russo guy coming to MLBN?

Awful

I'm generally a MLB Network fanboy, but even I can't support this hire. Maybe one of the worst decisions since the launch of the network.

[shadyridr]

never heard of mike and the mad dog? He was the mad dog. Mike francesas long time co-host

not exactly a ringing endorsement

wasnt supposed to be. The guy is an idiot. SF giants fan like you, who is not an idiot

OK Im the only one who commented in this thread but a number of us rip on him in the Mike & Mad Dog thread.

FALSE

 

[Michael Brown]

Much like john sterling and michael kay were awesome together but a disaster separately, mike and the mad dog have gone the same route. Both are unlistenable without each other

I would listen to M&MD on occasion but Mad Dog alone is unlistenable.

I used to turn on MLB in the mornings and sometimes it would be on all day in the background without me even realizing it. Not anymore. His voice is like nails on a chalkboard. TV goes off instantly when he comes on.

 

[shadyridr]

A guarantee aint worth what it used to be.

1000x

I do the same thing.

 

[pollardsvision]

Didn't see it mentioned, but the White Sox' winning pitcher from yesterday was 29 YO Scott Carroll finally making his MLB debut. Pretty cool.

Apparently, he was Kyle Orton's back up at Purdue too.

 

[Limp Ditka]

Harper out until July

Reds fans are pretty happy for the guy. Everything I've read and heard about him says he's just an awesome dude. Good for him.

don't remember hearing his name when he was at Purdue...but then again, I'm a horrible fan.

That'll teach him to hustle.

Heard it on MLB Network, so I could've heard it wrong.

Plus schools only have about 25 back-up QBs so it's easy for one to go unnoticed.

Who is the worst manager in baseball? Mitch Williams? Ventura?

yeah. That Mitch Williams guy is pretty bad at managing.

Sliding head first is asking for an injury.

 

[Limp Ditka]

Matt Adams hitting the emptiest .333 in the history of baseball.

 

[Doctor Detroit]

Oh...YU.

 

[Limp Ditka]

How did I miss the fact that Josh Donaldson was originally a Cubs product?

[RnR]

Another incorrect ruling on replay in the St. Louis/Milwaukee game. Why do we even bother with this if they aren't going to use the tools they have to fix things?
