2009 MLB Discussion Thread

[iBoldin]

Erik Bedard's looking at his first complete game since his Oriole days. He's throwing a fantastic game.

7 K's
8 Innings
1 Walk
2 Hits

Could be his comeback year.

[Todd Bertuzzi]

And he gets the hook with 2 outs left. He pitched very well today though and would've most likely gotten the complete game had he gotten some more run support.

[Im_a_Romosexual]

Use your ******* bench Francona.

God damn

[bearsfan_51]

What do you guys think of Trevor Cahill?
I think I should have sacked up and started him today.

Great prospect. The fact that he's had two pretty good games already is very promising considering his age. I personally like him more than Brett Anderson.

[JT Jag]

Kelly Johnson: The next Dan Uggla, with better plate discipline?No, because Johnson doesn't have near his power and their plate discipline is pretty much equal.I have to disagree with that second bit. Johnson consistantly hits for a better average, draws more walks, and strikes out less.

[GB12]

Go kill yourself Jeff Suppan.

[Donno]

I think I should have sacked up and started him today.

Im starting to catch on as well, look out for Andrew Bailey that guy has been fun to watch.

[ATLDirtyBirds]

I'm still pissed that a dropped ******* flyball cost us the damn game.

[T-RICH49]

Joakim Soria > everyone else

[Brodeur]

I didn't think Morgan/Miller could get any worse, but they have succeeded by adding Steve Phillips. My god my ears are bleeding.

[yo123]

I didn't think Morgan/Miller could get any worse, but they have succeeded by adding Steve Phillips. My god my ears are bleeding.



But Joe Morgan's voice is so soothing.

[Borat]

All you clowns that picked the Giants to win the West should be aware that we just got swept by the Padres.

Season ... Over.

[yodapoop]

I didn't think Morgan/Miller could get any worse, but they have succeeded by adding Steve Phillips. My god my ears are bleeding.

At least Joe Morgan put the Brewers in their place. "Next week we have another great rivalry in the NL Central, the Cardinals at the Cubs." Joe Morgan: "Thats the real rivalry right there." BURN, good work Joe!

[Brodeur]

Don't compliment that dumb ************.

[themaninblack]

Aaron Harang with the complete game shut out, 9Ks, 0 walks, 3 hits allowed. That should help my last place fantasy baseball team...

His performance didn't count for me as I had gone over the limit for starters. Didn't even know we had this limit either. FML.

[Brodeur]

Mr. Glass strikes again.

[Tampa 2 4 life]

List of hot starters who aren't getting recognition:

Adam Dunn: .333/.571/.556
James Loney: .370/.433/.407
Yunel Escobar: .400/.444/.640
Aaron Rowand: .389/.421/.722

....Aaand there goes Milton bradley.

[Brodeur]

Koyie Hill walk? Really Suppan?

[GB12]

Koyie Hill walk? Really Suppan?
Well see you must understand that Suppan sucks dick. He shouldn't have been a starter this year or last year, but his contract keeps his job safe.

[Brodeur]

Well see you must understand that Suppan sucks dick. He shouldn't have been a starter this year or last year, but his contract keeps his job safe.

Well this is going well.

[Tampa 2 4 life]

Well this is going well.

You know, I was surprised the brew crew didn't get in on hammel.

[awfullyquiet]

Well this is going well.

trouser snakes.
that's what it is.

[Brodeur]

Wait, the Brewers hired Ken Macha? Him?

[Tha Wootster]

Josh Beckett is an ass.

[GB12]

5 walks, 3 of them for runs. Do they even know what a strike is?

[awfullyquiet]

i find this absolutely hil-larious.

[Tampa 2 4 life]

This is pathetic.

[the_legend_killer]

Derrick Turnbow called, he said Jeff Suppan can't throw strikes.

[Brodeur]

Corey Hart looks like a taller version of the heroin'ed out Charlie on Lost.

[Tampa 2 4 life]

Ryan Dempster doesn't think this game is close enough.

[GB12]

Why the **** is Jorge Julio batting

[the_legend_killer]

Why the **** is Jorge Julio batting

Given McClung has pitched the last two days, I'm assuming they're trying to get another inning out of him. But yeah, it was fugly.

[Brodeur]

Why the **** is Jorge Julio batting

They miss the every 5th day where Ben Sheets would "bat" or whatever you want to call what Sheets did.

[awfullyquiet]

Ryan Dempster doesn't think this game is close enough.

don't punch a gift horse in the mouth.

[GB12]

Given McClung has pitched the last two days, I'm assuming they're trying to get another inning out of him. But yeah, it was fugly.
Well yeah, but we need runs and he was pitching like **** anyway.

[awfullyquiet]

i refuse to call koyie hill anything but three fingers mordicai hill.

[the_legend_killer]

Well yeah, but we need runs and he was pitching like **** anyway.

Obviously, but with two outs already I'm not sure it's worth burning Nelson or McGahee that early. If he gets out, then who comes in to pitch?

[Brodeur]

Oh god not the Morgan Reds days.

[GB12]

Dempster doing his best to return the favor.

[GB12]

Mother ******. so close.

[Im_a_Romosexual]

REED JOHNSON!!!!!!!!!!!

holy ****

Edit: I hate the cubs

[iowatreat54]

Wowwwwwwwww.

[Brodeur]

Can Reed Johnson get at least $8 million a year since Gary Matthews Jr got $10 million a year for a catch?

[Tampa 2 4 life]

Reed ************* Johnson

[GB12]

You're lucky that Bradley is out of the game or we'd be tied.

[themaninblack]

Hell of a catch

[Canadian_kid16]

Reed Johnson is an amazing defender

[Brodeur]

Kick his ass Reed.

[GB12]

That was not intentional. Julio just sucks.

[iowatreat54]

lol Julio is a ****

[Tampa 2 4 life]

Mcclung for Balfour was a pretty cool trade.

[Brodeur]

Well trying to murder The Riot is not nice.

[GB12]

BS that was out.

[Tampa 2 4 life]

BS that was out.

No he slid under.

[Tampa 2 4 life]

Craig Counsell with an insane play.

[iowatreat54]

Carlos Marmol is kinda good.

[yodapoop]

Well see you must understand that Suppan sucks dick. He shouldn't have been a starter this year or last year, but his contract keeps his job safe.

Is this a bad time to thank you guys for taking his lame ass?

[iowatreat54]

Geo Soto who?

speaking of the legend..

[GB12]

10 walks, 4 with the bases loaded. **** our pitching.

[GB12]

Jason Kendall hitting here? Really? I thought that we put an end to that when we fired Ned Yost. Why the hell would you not pinch hit for him down in the 9th.

[Tampa 2 4 life]

Lou Piniella may not know it, but he is using a relief ace system.

[VoteLynnSwan]

Rule number 1: Never hire an ex Athletics coach.

[M.O.T.H.]

Glavine left his rehab start with shoulder discomfort....so it begins. I love Glavine but, I cant get too mad, though. Because if he cant go, Tommy Hanson will be the first guy called up.

Absolutely wrong. JP is not a bad GM at all, and it's no DePodesta's fault that certain owners were dumb enough to fire him because Bill Plaschke is a ******* moron.

[Mr.Regular]

Absolutely wrong. JP is not a bad GM at all, and it's no DePodesta's fault that certain owners were dumb enough to fire him because Bill Plaschke is a ******* moron.
WHAT?? JP Ricciardi is a brutal GM. He makes me cringe.. I'm not sure if thats because of his toucan sized schnauz or because of his nasty GM skills....either way I can't wait for him to be fired.

Some examples of JP FAIL..
the Vernon Wells contract, the failure to trade Delgado, the BJ Ryan contract, the revolving door of scrubs (Eckstein, Mench, Wilkerson, etc.), the Frank Thomas fiasco, the failure to trade Burnett....

[PACKmanN]

or anyone in their front office for that matter (see J.P. Ricciardi)

too much hate for JP in Toronto. JP is a very good talent evaluator, just needs to stop picking up injured free agents and needs to get BJ out of here.

[D-Unit]

...and so the long dreary season begins for the Rangers...

[Tampa 2 4 life]

Best pitcher(Marmol) in the most important situations irregardless of innings.

I teared considerably today. Harry Kalas was the voice of my childhood. He's broadcasted every game from the day I was born to yesterday. To think about that is really really sad. I met him in '99 when I was 9 at the Vet during a take a picture with the players day. He was the first one out there to greet the fans and the last one to leave the field. He loved the Phillies, the game, and his job. His passion for the Phillies is unmatched. RIP.

[bored of education]

And that's creepy.

what you expect :D

[Brodeur]

And that's creepy.

Always turning down advances. Such a dick.

Nah, I just don't want BOEseases.

I like it thus far. In the 2 exhibition games, it played too big, which I'm not a fan of. Better then another Citizen's Bank Park though.

We went to every park in the majors and tried to incorporate something from just about all of them.

A California man that made a death threat against the family of Red Sox second baseman Dustin Pedroia was arrested Saturday, according to multiple reports.

The arrest occurred in Pedroia's hometown of Woodland, Calif.

Kenneth Samuels, 47, allegedly made phone calls to the Pedroia family business and threatened to shoot and kill the men of the Pedroia family.


I hate Pedrioa, but that is sick!

www.boston.com is reporting this

[JHG722]

RIP HK. One of the saddest days of my life.

3 run homerun Ryan Howard.
Solo shot by Raul Ibanez.

Makes it a slightly better day :/

Yes, Len Kasper kills me. He has talked about something that one should not mention. It is not that he does it once, its about 4 times per half inning.

Ryan Howard.

C-Pain - In luv wit a grand tripper

9-0 Rays.

[JHG722]

Ryan Howard.

I actually agree with you (note moreso than Wang), though. I'm not a big Ryan Howard fan. He's still a damn good hitter though and his D is improving big time.

[Hollywood]

What's overrated about a guy with a career .969 OPS who hit clean up for the World Champions?

[Brodeur]

I actually agree with you (note moreso than Wang), though. I'm not a big Ryan Howard fan. He's still a damn good hitter though and his D is improving big time.

I don't think his D is improving as much as Utley just makes anyone look moderately good at 1st.

[JHG722]

I don't think his D is improving as much as Utley just makes anyone look moderately good at 1st.

Adrian Gonz with a dinger :)

I dont mean this sarcastically, but have you watched the Phillies play this year?

I've watched 2 or 3 games, and he has improved a bit but still.

[JHG722]

I've watched 2 or 3 games, and he has improved a bit but still.

I'm not saying the guy is a gold glover, but he's made strides this offseason. One of the things I noticed (and our announcers pointed out) is on double play attempts where the ball is hit to him, he steps forward towards home and throws around the guy running to second. He used to step sideways and throw into the runner (he hit a few guys last year and before).

Btw, Jay Bruuuuuuce with his first homer of the year.

[JHG722]

clearly you're blind to reality.

oh, and that's right, Cody Ransom with an RBI. that's how it's done!!! woo, COMEBACK...*sigh(

[JHG722]

Yes it would. 6/0 is more than 6/1.

I know, but I dont get why the stats list his K/BB as -

[iowatreat54]

I know, but I dont get why the stats list his K/BB as -

Because 6/0 is infinite. You can't divide by 0. So until he walks someone, it will not show up as a number.

[bored of education]

"he should try Orel"

hahah

[JHG722]

Wow, are you guys watching the Mets' game?

"You should try Orel" has to be one of the most unfortunate quotes I've ever heard LMAO

[JHG722]

Because 6/0 is infinite. You can't divide by 0. So until he walks someone, it will not show up as a number.

I know, but they have an 'INF' as a #, and it's not there. Lemme see if they changed it now that he's out.

"he should try Orel"

hahah

You win :P

[Hurricanes25]

Somebody just told me that there was a cat on the field in the Mets game. Is it true?

[iowatreat54]

Somebody just told me that there was a cat on the field in the Mets game. Is it true?

Tis true. Now, don't ever bring a story about a cat on the field at a Mets game up again. I will hurt you.

Just kidding.

Not really...

Yes it is.

Greinke>Kazmir.

Fact.

[Brodeur]

Greinke>Kazmir.

Fact.

Greinke > Sex.

[JHG722]

Greinke>Kazmir.

Fact.

Greinke out after 5=lame :(

[Tampa 2 4 life]

Greinke>Kazmir.

Fact.

I don't disagree. But if vintage kaz comes back with new kaz control, it may be different.

[adschofield]

Greinke will win 3 Cy Young's and 7 Zack Greinke's

[adschofield]

But I will finally concede, Longo>Gordon.

[Hurricanes25]

Yes it is.

Now thats going to be the curse of Citi Field if the Mets dont win the world Series in the next 50 years.

[scottyboy]

Greinke > Sex.

so by this math, Greinke=Ray Rice's thighs.

KNOWLEDGE IS POWER!

It also rules that Swisher, Melky, and Ransom have our RBI's today. that rules

[JHG722]

But I will finally concede, Longo>Gordon.

Just slightly :P

[art vandelay]

Maybe now Girardi will realize that Phil Coke is not the answer for our left handed reliever in the pen.

[Tampa 2 4 life]

Akinori Iwascrew You Yankees Ora

[scottyboy]

Maybe now Girardi will realize that Phil Coke is not the answer for our left handed reliever in the pen.

I want Mike Stanton back :(

and Mendoza.

and even slightly Jeff Nelson

[adschofield]

Maybe now Girardi will realize that Phil Coke is not the answer for our left handed reliever in the pen.

But he pitched so well yesterday :D

[Hurricanes25]

They were all beasts. That was the last time that we actually had a good bullpen.

[art vandelay]

Marte should be pitching over Coke out of the pen. I mean we gave up Jose Tabata for him!

[Hurricanes25]

I have a feeling that Coke and Albaladejo will be visiting the minors tomorrow.

[Im_a_Romosexual]

Youkilis is on FIRE!!!

[adschofield]

We'll give you Farnsworth back

[JHG722]

Youkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

[Hurricanes25]

We'll give you Farnsworth back

We dont want him. You can keep that bum.

[iowatreat54]

We'll give you Farnsworth back

Just wait until there is a benches clearing brawl and you need a pitcher to spear someone...

[P-L]

You'd have to give up a prospect in order for a team to take Farnsworth, lol.

[Tampa 2 4 life]

Just wait until there is a benches clearing brawl and you need a pitcher to spear someone...

He's worth every penny.

[art vandelay]

I for one really want to see what Alfredo Aceves can do out of the pen. He moved through the farm system very quickly and I thought looked impressive in his major league debut last season when he started. I was really disappointed that he didn't make the club this season. Call him up!

[scottyboy]

Just wait until there is a benches clearing brawl and you need a pitcher to spear someone...

yea, that's why I miss him. for when a massive fight breaks out. I mean, Swisher can take like 15, CC sit on about 4-6, but then who? Robby will be mackin' it with the ladies in the stands and someones gotta throw punches. the rest of the team's too old

[Hurricanes25]

I like him a lot too. He is perfect for the long reliever role.

[JHG722]

Albert Pujols=God

[Hurricanes25]

We need Proctor back. He was always willing to throw some punches or throw at batters when we needed him to.

[Hurricanes25]

Swisher can pitch too

[scottyboy]

We need Proctor back. He was always willing to throw some punches or throw at batters when we needed him to.

HE WAS MY FAVORITE!

it's a shame Torre pitched him literally every day. I'm surprised his arm didn't fall off...

[Tampa 2 4 life]

Nick Swisher is pitching.

[Hurricanes25]

HE WAS MY FAVORITE!

it's a shame Torre pitched him literally every day. I'm surprised his arm didn't fall off...

I loved him. I was so pissed the day he was traded.

[Jughead10]

Maybe now Girardi will realize that Phil Coke is not the answer for our left handed reliever in the pen.

He's not the main lefty. Coke was pitching in garbage time.

[Tampa 2 4 life]

Are you ******* kidding me Kapler.

[scottyboy]

Nick Swisher is now officially my favorite of all time. Oh my god. oh my ******* god. i'm pissing myself right now. Swisher is the man.

[art vandelay]

We need Proctor back. He was always willing to throw some punches or throw at batters when we needed him to.

Proctor is one of the reasons I want to read The Yankee Years. There has to be a chapter dedicated to Torre's secret love affair with Proctor. Torre pitched Proctor practically every day during the 2006 season with NY. Then they re-united in LA. I am convinced that there was some shenanigans going on between the two;)

[P-L]

Albert Pujols=God
Why do teams still pitch to him?

[JHG722]

Wow, Swisher...

[Hurricanes25]

Nick Swisher is now officially my favorite of all time. Oh my god. oh my ******* god. i'm pissing myself right now. Swisher is the man.

Read my sig..... Swisher is amazing.

[art vandelay]

In in other news, Gabe Kapler just committed suicide in the dugout, using his own shoelaces.

[ATLDirtyBirds]

DWright is a total fruitcake, but man can he rake.

Haha. I actually saw Chase Utley with a dude in drag. True story. And **** the Mets. What a ****** ass opener. **** the whole team.

[JHG722]

Why do teams still pitch to him?

Because they think it's daring to go after the guy. He's by FAR the greatest hitter I've ever seen.

[art vandelay]

Swisher>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Coke, Wang & Albadejo combined.

[scottyboy]

SWISHER FOR CY YOUNG!

this is honestly, one of the greatest things I've ever witnessed.

[Tampa 2 4 life]

Gabe Kapler is dead to me. Dead to me.

[Hurricanes25]

SWISHER FOR CY YOUNG!

this is honestly, one of the greatest things I've ever witnessed.

What cant he do?

[JHG722]

Andruw Jones is back?

[scottyboy]

What cant he do?

he plays first, plays the outfield, ******* pitches AND he's a switch hitter.

that, and he's hilarious. I still can't get over this haha

[JHG722]

What cant he do?

Finish a season hitting .300
