Anyone's fall from grace comparable to Ubaldo's?

Zambrano?

I think Kazmir's pretty similar. Kazmir only had 1 200 IP season, but he had a 3 year stretch that was about a dominant as Ubaldo's 2 year stretch.

He also fell even earlier. He was great, then his career was essentially over around age 25.

Beautiful bunt from Machado. KInd of hard not like those Orioles.

Jean Segura just "advanced" from 2nd base to 1st base.

Jean Segura just "advanced" from 2nd base to 1st base.

So, he stole 2nd. Then got cut in a rundown getting back to 2nd with Braun already there. The Cubs tagged Segura and Braun and Segura ran to 1st. Braun was called out and Segura safe. Then he tried to steal 2nd for the 2nd time and was thrown out.

I never saw anything like that before. Has this ever happened before?

Scott Kazmir is going against Phil Humber tomorrow in an actual, legitimate, MLB game.

 

[shadyridr]

So i cant use the term... "You cant steal first base" anymore?

 

[Billy Bats]

So i cant use the term... "You cant steal first base" anymore?

It's more like he re-acquired first base rather than stole it.

Jason Schmidt's demise came very fast.

I assume RaiderNation is busy, so....Browns open up a huge lead with a Frank Ryan screen pass to Jim Brown for a TD.

Out with family. Just did a quick score check, saw Hou/Clev score and decided to come in here and check for a RN update

 

[Eephus]

Cashner gets the emergency start with Clayton Richard calling in sick. Cashner is hitting 97 on the gun. We'll see for how long.

The A's got us back in the Mulder for Haren/Barton deal.

 

[Premier]

Kazmir seems to be the same.

 

[Raider Nation]

Two things:

1) Gotta wait until it's a final score, otherwise the box score makes no sense to people seeing this hours later.

2) Call me "RN" like everyone else who's known me for ten years.

Over and out.

That's a good point.

Tim Couch to Darrin Chiaverini completed the blowout.

i predicted him cy young in the bold predictions thread

And also that Phil Coke would get 40 saves. He'll be stuck on one for quite a long time FWIW.

lol it was a bold predictions thread. If i got ONE right id be shocked

 

[Northern Voice]

Vernon Wells seems to be having a lot of fun with the Jays fans in left field this series, he's been joking with them and tipped his cap a couple times. One of the classiest guys in the league IMO, good to see him playing along with the fans who have no real reason to boo him but are anyway.

 

[Buffaloes]

Stanton tanking mailing it in at this point?

Any day without an afternoon game blows.

It would be unseemly for me to post in the Dodgers thread but it's pretty incredible how LA has burned through their starting pitching depth in less than a month.

On opening day, they had Kershaw, Beckett, Greinke, Ryu Hyun-Jin and Billingsley with Harang and Capuano as MLB quality depth and Lilly working his way into shape. They're now reduced to starting non-prospect Stephen Fife and hoping Lilly doesn't have any rehab setbacks before his turn comes up. They've traded away Allen Webster and Rubby De La Rosa and have no MLB ready talent on the farm other than Fife. Zach Lee is still young but is looking like a bust considering his draft position and $5M signing bonus.

Breaks my heart.

Mother Nature continues to wreak havoc on the Rockies homestand as Monday's game was postponed.

It will be made up as part of a split doubleheader Tuesday with the first game at 1:10 p.m., followed by the regularly scheduled game at 6:40 p.m.

Will Middlebrooks is 4-45 since he hit his 3rd HR in the 4/7 game v Tor

I once pitched in 23 degree weather. I shot a buffalo, wore its hide, and tossed a complete game without complaint.

Wow, BJ Upton is horrible.

Poor Justin is going to have 45 HR's and 62 RBI's on the season at this rate.

He really is. Every time I watch him hit, I feel like I'm watching Willie Mays-Hays in the first half of Major League II.
