When it's that hot in that stadium the ball flies so much that even Cy Young would have gotten lit up, hardly a fair condition. Your right Ford it's like softball.
Remember Ned was balls out after Carlos Lee before we start sucking his cock too much. Lets not give too much credit. But yeah SOMEONE did good holding onto specs instead of Dempster. I just doubt it was Mario, someone must have him on a leash I reckon.
It was rumored but we weren't the only team that was fooled into asking about him. Nobody knows the inner workings but I do know that you cannot have 1 person with ALL the decision making power. Hey we give Logan the benefit of the doubt in ALL cases but I doubt he has all the power either.
Giants Acquire Jose Mijares By Ben Nicholson-Smith [August 6 at 2:50pm CST] The Giants have acquired left-handed reliever Jose Mijares from Kansas City, the teams announced. Mijares will provide Giants manager Bruce Bochy with a third lefty relief option to go along with Jeremy Affeldt and Javier Lopez. Mijares, 27, has a 2.56 ERA with 8.6 K/9 and 3.0 BB/9 in 38 2/3 innings this year. He earns $925K, will be arbitration eligible following this offseason, and will remain under team control through 2014. I identified him as a midseason trade candidate in May, but I didn't expect him to go unclaimed by 13 American League teams and a number of National League teams. Diamondbacks To Sign Wil Nieves By Ben Nicholson-Smith [August 6 at 1:51pm CST] The Diamondbacks are expected to sign catcher Wil Nieves, Steve Gilbert of MLB.com reports (on Twitter). Nieves elected free agency after the Rockies designated him for assignment last week. Nieves appeared in 16 games for the Rockies this year, but has been sidelined since July 8th with turf toe. The 34-year-old posted a .298/.333/.404 batting line in 51 plate appearances this year. Nieves, a nine-year MLB veteran, has a career line of .226/.272/.296. Henry Blanco has been backing up Miguel Montero behind the plate for the Diamondbacks.
Surprised Dodgers didn't put a claim with only Choate in the bullpen, but they probably trust in Elberts health.
Wow, just had a look at how Jamey Carroll and Kelly Johnson were doing. Kelly has a 85 OPS+ and Jamey has a 75 OPS+. Remember how mad people were that we had Mark Ellis over these guys? (OPS+ of 92 with better D)
Morneau has hit 2 HRs today, driving in 4 runs and it's just the 7th inning. His up to date quad-slash is .275/.336/.482/.818. He seems to be rounding back into form and looking like his old self. July: .315/.365/.483/.848 August (without today's game): .421/.455/.579/1.033 Just saying.....he could be a good trade pickup in the winter. But I'm still in on the Sands train!!!!
He would be a better pickup NOW. But they want ML ready pitching, and we already gave up Nate to get Hanley.
Decent article http://www.sports-reference.com/blog/2012/08/the-relationship-between-war-and-team-wins/
Youkilis after the trade 35 games .260/.383/.512 Would have been nice if we got Youk for a couple AAAA players. If we had that production at 3B or 1B, Hanley at SS we'd be rollin. But we dk if he'd even produce for us. but fuck it, jus sayin
Can u put a spoiler-type thing to block out anything Trout related unless you put your mouse over it? I'm jealous and don't wanna know.
I'm not defending Broxton, but I found it really funny that Dioner Navarro basically fucked up that game for him by throwing the ball into CF. Ex-Dodgers out there losing a game for Cincy.
