DODGERS Around the MLB Thread

But if you like to debate such things more power to ya.

 

As much as I was pissed he dosed Puig I still would've taken him. He's gonna be solid in SD, great pitchers park.

 

Don't read it then? And yes, professional scouts know what a plus-plus pitch is. They wouldn't be a scout if they didn't. Soooo...

 

Yeah and I'm sure they all share the same opinion about "Plus" vs "Quality" too. I'm sure there is nothing that separates one from another. Anyone can call anything anything they want, its subjective.

 

Well, of course there's difference of opinion. But it's rarely about what you're talking about. For example several teams didn't think Puig would be as big a talent as he is or has been because they werent sure if he would fully realize his potential, the tools were always there. If a pitcher has a 100 mph fastball with movement and control, it's a 8 fastball (2-8 scale, 8 being the best possible). If a hitter hits +500 ft homeruns in BP, he has 8 power. It's not subjective.

 

Meanwhile, in Anaheim (really Tampa, I know):

 

I knew it was bad... but that bad... Wow.

Hunter was always the guy who stepped up and he carried the team for long stretches and was their real clubhouse leader... for years...

Pujols of the quarter billion contract has not amounted to a quarter thus far...


As far a Scioscia vs DiPoto? Come on man how can that even be a question? DiPoto has done nothing of merit to date... nothing. Of course if Arte is micromanaging the GM slot well then fire the GM and let Arte run this train into the ground...

<incoming call> Hello World Champion Dodger switchboard, can I help you? Yeah this is Mike Trout, I was hoping to talk to 'someone' with a clue about baseball..., one minute Mr. Trout, Mr. Kasten will be right with you...

I don't care how many outfielders the Dodgers have under contract... signing Mike Trout would only be a good thing!!

 

Wainwright already gave up 3 runs in the 1st inning. Person on 2nd and 3rd, no outs. HAHAHAHAHA.

 

6ER... gave up an RBI single to the pitcher on the 10th pitch. This is great.

 

2 things:

1.) Reading that article makes me think Hunter is a sensitive douche/bitch. All you hear about this guy is how great a teammate he is. He punched out (or attempted to) arguably the second best offensive players in his time with the Twins AND Angels (Morneau/Pujols).

2.) The Padres fucking suck. Guarantee those ass whipes play us like it's game 7 of the World Series.

 

God the Dbacks are such lucky ass cunts. Not Cardinal lucky, but pretty close.

First hit they get this inning is a routine groundout that hits the bag. Second runner reaches on the very next play where the idiot pitcher tries to barehand a routine double play ball.

Yeah but you already know half of them are going to turn into all stars because teams like to get up for the Dodgers.

 

2nd to Kershaws curve

 

Wow, MAG ended up only getting a 3 year 12M deal from the Phillies.

MAG must have some serious medical issues if he wound up only getting 12M.

 

Roids.
