Principled Man Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 Brewers 7Diamondbacks 5 Top-o-7th, 1 out, 2 runners on base, D-Backs lead 4-3 OK, so Kirk Gibson wants to show his dislike for Ryan Braun (and the Brewers in general) by having his pitcher throw behind Braun on one pitch and then hit Braun in the butt on the next pitch. The umpire ejects pitcher Evan Marshall immediately. As the crowd is giving Marshall a standing ovation, he walks into the Arizona dugout and receives many high-fives from his teammates. Bases loaded, 1 out. This brings up the hottest hitter in the NL, Jonathan Lucroy, who promptly takes the first pitch he sees from the new pitcher and CRUSHES IT into the center field seats for a GRAND SLAM. :haz: :haz: Brewers win, and Kirk Gibson's team is in last place, but he feels like a real man now. He has his priorities in order.... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alphseeker Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 Just saw Kershaw throw a no-hitter and a near perfect game. 15 strikeouts. Frickin Dodgers have 22 no hitters. If anyone is worth $200 million Kershaw is. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brewer pitcher Kyle Lohse (who accidentally hit a D-Back hitter earlier in the game) said it best: You know what? They won tough-guy points today, but I don't know where the stats are for those. We won the game because of that. It was pretty unnecessary. The ball got away from me. You don't want that to happen. But you're going to play tough-guy stuff? Go ahead. We're winning games. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goose Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 Los Atléticos on another runner, having taken two from the Yanks, two from Rangers and keeping it going in the opener against the Red Sox. Six of the last eight. :dweez: 45-28 overall? That's the best in the majors! :sundog: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goose Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 Should the best team in baseball should have more than one player on the All-Star team? The fans may be moving that direction... Yoenis Cespedes is making the climb towards being an All-Star starter as well. With the power display he put on at last year’s Home Run Derby, couple with the throws he has made to nail people at various bases this season, he has put his name out into the baseball universe. The universe apparently likes what they’ve seen, because Cespedes currently sits 4th among AL outfielders in the voting. Jose Bautista is leading all vote getters, followed by Mike Trout and Melky Cabrera. Cabrera currently has a 342,915 vote lead on Cespedes, but with a few weeks of voting left, the lead is not insurmountable. The surprise candidate for the Athletics is Derek Norris. Matt Wieters currently leads AL catchers in fan voting, but it was just announced that he will be missing the rest of the season due to Tommy John surgery. That leaves only Brian McCann ahead of Norris, and the vote differential is a measly 2,383 votes. This is completely manageable A’s fans! http://swinginas.com/2014/06/17/athletics-star-update-norris-cespedes-climbing/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I had put him in my lineup earlier that week. Greatest moment of my fantasy sports career. It was a shame about his injuries. I think I read somewhere that his HS coach had him throw both ends of a doubleheader.and he threw 175 pitches that day Add to that what has to happen to get that type of motion on a ball and I think he was pretty much doomed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goose Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 A's almost got screwed today on a blown call by the plate Ump. On a sinker, the batter swung and missed (or maybe tipped it), but regardless, the catcher caught it. Except the douche behind the plate calls it tipped and in the dirt. The replay was clear, but this kind of play is non-reviewable (for who knows what reason). Next pitch is in the dirt, Norris loses it and the runner scores from third to tie it up. A's ended up winning on a 10th inning single by Coco Crisp. Still, why have replay if you can't use it to get the call right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RushCanuck Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 Man, supporting the Jays has certainly been a roller coaster ride lately. One of the highlights was Friday night - after the 2nd inning, they were losing 8 - 0 , but they mounted an epic comeback and won 14 - 9 in a 4 hour marathon against the Reds. :dweez: But, bad news, Lawrie went on injured list with a hand injury, and Bautista will not be playing for a few games. :( They are opening a homestand tonight and they still lead the AL East. Go Jays Go!!! :cheerleader: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
