Wasn't there a lot lf talk about TLR starting to get senile towards the end of his stint in STL?

My god. It doesn't stop
I have a free "LIKE THIS" for someone who can answer this:
Are there coaches in the Bal/KC series that are familiar with each other? The o/u has been 7 in each of the first 3 games and they have scored 3,4,and 1.
They scored 7, 8, and 8 last year in 1 series in KC.
Anything that would suggest they absolutely suck when they play in KC?

Orioles really haven't started hitting this year, and the Royals are the most power deprived team in baseball. Look at Hosmer's and Butler's ground ball rates, those are the 3/4 hitters in that Royals line-up! The teams just can't hit, and while Baltimore is sure to start hitting for more power in the hottest ballpark in the majors (found that fact a bit odd, but humidity+heat makes it the hottest in the summer months) I'm not so sure about the Royals. All their power guys are either ground ball or line drive guys (Perez), and they are going to have difficulty playing from behind all year IMO. I have their OVER wins too, but I'm not that optimistic based on what I've seen.

Maybe the Dodgers should invest in a long reliever? Wright, Withrow, Perez, and League all seem to be used when things are even way out of hand.

He was one of the highest-rated prospects in all of the minors before getting called up, he's clearly got All-Star potential, and by all accounts he is a great kid. Sometimes, that's all it takes. IF the Astros are gonna name a captain down the line, he's one of the obvious choices.Raider Nation said:
Just seems random to suggest that a guy with a .637 OPS and a major strikeout problem could one day be the captain of the Astros. Kinda like picking Brandon Wood to captain the Angels in 2007.
The Orioles lead the majors in away BA and third in SLG/OPS. In contrast, they are a bottom 5 home team in batting (2nd lowest in OPS). Overall their GB/FB ratio is .79 which ranks just below Detroit and Oakland. I'm surprised more at their lack of production so far this series.
Yeah, Kansas City's overall GB/FB is pathetic (second highest behind SD overall), but at home it's decent at .89 (middle of the pack). Good point about their 3/4 hitters.
Even with their power issues, they still average almost 4 rpg at home. Baltimore averages 5 rpg away and they have combined for 8 total in 3 games.
From a projection/betting standpoint I projected 8.5, 9, and 10 runs for these three games. In the last two games, the total was bet down from 8 to 7 and 7.5 to 7 (no real movement on Chen/Ventura game) so someone loves these unders. It looks like tomorrow's under has already taken a hit and probably will fall from 7 to 6.5 before close.
There has to be something outside of the stats that I am completely missing. At some pt, one of these teams has to break out for some kind of big inning.

Yeah, that one today didn't make a whole lot of sense. No argument there.
Baltimore has gotten quite a bit of production from that bottom third, they haven't done a thing in this series. Missing Weiters, who was having a career year, also doesn't help. Not sure I care about how many the Royals are averaging though, they are a team that could go a week without scoring more than two runs in any one game.

there can be no stupider argument than a discussion about baseball captains.

The shine has left him, but if memory serves about 3 years ago Danny Duffy was the best pitching prospect in baseball.

I dunno if you've ventured over to the FFA at all, but kate upton is not all that hot according to a lotta people
Mr. Pickles

Otis seems to be upset that Kate is considered hot while having attributes pretty much opposite his wife: blonde, tall, and busty.
How dare people find that hot.

I love it when Swisher shakes his head on the way back to the dugout, as if he's SHOCKED he just struck out. Officially on the Mendoza line with that at-bat, BTW.

I guess BAL and KC finally got the memo.

Quick question: how does Anthony Swarzak and his incalculable ERA warrant inclusion into a tight game?
Or any game?

Playing the Athletics at home is comparable to playing the Rockies on the road. They are hitting out of their minds this year.

It hasn't gotten a ton of press, but this is what's behind some of the A's recent jump in offense: http://regressing.deadspin.com/a-decade-after-moneyball-have-the-as-found-a-new-mark-1489963694

The difference between Oakland (42.2% FB%) and second-place Toronto (37.5%) is as big as the gap between Toronto and Miami in 22nd place (32.8%).
