Mets v Diamondbacks

[CrespoBlows]

Examine today's pitching matchup and lineup.

 

What team will win? And why?

[Anuj09]

Livan better throw a good game. Hes on my fantasy team

 

Mets take this one though

2- 0

No decision for Livan

[CrespoBlows]

f*** you, guys. <_>

 

I took the D-Backs.

[Anuj09]

wish Maine was pitching again hes my best pitcher prolly. I have Hamels, Halliday, Hernandez, Maine, Danks, and Penny. Oh and Verlander. But i think my two best pics were JJ hardy and John Maine

[CrespoBlows]

Hahaha, I win. f*** you, Vegas.

 

OK, next game.

 

Lincecum or Hamels? Giants/Philles?

 

No Bonds for the Giants. So......?

[MANNYHOF24]

Giants win 4-2. Lincecum strikes out 12 batters. Hamels k's 11.

[ORS]

Are we discussing Sunday night baseball here? I'm stoked about this pitching matchup.

 

Haha, love it. ESPN has got the epic/poetic "breaking records" intro, and BB isn't playing.

[Cocos Disciples]

Lincecum looks 12 years old.

[ORS]

Hung that curve pretty bad. Victorino has no power and that thing went into the bay.

[CrespoBlows]

Went with the Phillies.

 

The Giants can hope that Lincecum is the real deal, but I'll wait. Besides, the Giants lose way, way too much offense without Bonds.

[ORS]

K's the side. He can bring it for being slightly bigger than Pedroia.

[CrespoBlows]

Helms is atrocious with the glove.

[ORS]

This kid throws ched, but he can't locate yet. He'll be deadly with some polish. That was a meatball to Howard.

[riverside sluggers]

Joe Morgan is acting like it is a race thing, about Barry Bonds

 

"That poll on ABC hits it clearly on the mark"

"I find it funny that Hank Aaron today is being embraced"

[CrespoBlows]

Phillies win 8-5. Lincecum was a bit wild today, no? Had flashes of a dominating pitcher, he probably could be a shut down closer right now.

 

Anyway onto tommorow.

 

Nationals @ Brewers. Matt Chico and his 2.06 WHIP vs the streaking Brewers. There is something wrong with baseball if the Nats win tommorow.

[Youk Of The Nation]

Baseball can be funny like that.

[CrespoBlows]

Tonight's games:

 

Detroit > Seattle

 

Bonderman's blister is a bit of a scare, but the Tigers should knock Ramirez around.

 

Boston > Toronto.

 

Looking good so far.

 

Cubs > Pirates

 

The Cubs at home are a pretty good pick. The anemic Pirates offense should have trouble supporting Snell, who's been kind of lucky. (15 BB's so far)

 

Brewers > Nationals

 

No explanation neccessary.

 

(Though, Bush is a candiate for an explosion)

[CrespoBlows]

f***er.

 

Quickly surrenders a bomb to the leadoff man.

[CrespoBlows]

Did I tell you the story about David Bush being a total dick?

 

Depending on what unfolds, I will go into further details.

[Cocos Disciples]

Please do tell.

[ORS]

I worry about the deductive reasoning of the generation coming up after me.

 

Follow the evidence, my dear Watson. Just about every Crespo post in this thread has been about picking winners from matchups or had references to Vegas. Bush pitches for Milwaukee. Felipe Lopez took him deep to start the game tonight. Add it all up, and he's either betting the games or tracking his performance.

[Cocos Disciples]

Ah. I did not realize Post 18 was about Bush. Nevermind then.

Added a pick.

 

Angels > Guardians

 

Santana is a very good pitcher at home, and Lee is rather hittable.

[CrespoBlows]

Pinella bailed out big time in tonight's game.

 

I don't get this.

 

You walk Freddy Sanchez, to pitch to Jason Bay.

 

Why.....?

[CrespoBlows]

Wow..

 

Lou Pinella may be the most OVERRATED manager in the game.
