The 2011 MLB Gamethread

Yeah, I think this was more understandable than when Min took Slowey out of a no hitter much later in the game. I think it was this past year and it was around the 7th inning.

Everyones' favorite ex-red sox is starting for the Tribe today

Trot Nixon?

[suns]

Justin Masterson...who I can't stand. He will be in the bullpen at the half of the year because Montgomery is coming up soon

[suns]

Brantley has a terrible eye

Speak for yourself.

[suns]

Will you stop swinging at everything!

[suns]

Masterson is sure in love with his 4 seam Fastball. He has throw probably 20 of those. And about 5 of his sinkers

[italstallianion]

The Guardians are actually winning now. 2-1 thanks to an Orlando Cabrera 2 run HR off of Danks.

[suns]

I heard the tribe had a triple play

[boston22407]

O's up 1-0 in the 3rd

[boston22407]

1-1

[suns]

O's are playing really good to start the season

yea ,hopefully they suck again so all the bandwagon fans go away .i haven't seen the staduim this full since redsox and Yankee fans come down to go to the games

[Jasonbay44]

I know its only been 4 games, but the Orioles look really impressive so far. I hope this doesn't continue, most of the Orioles fans I know are already annoying, if they are actually good it would be horrible for me.

[snydersminipretzels]

The Orioles are going to be the 2008 Rays.

maybe , i just don't see the pitching and the bullpen holding up

[Jasonbay44]

It honestly wouldn't surprise me, they have a lot of talent and guys like Adam Jones and Matt Wieters have been expected to break out for a while now and this could be the year. They have some good looking young pitchers and their offensive is pretty stacked from top to bottom.

[suns]

I bet no one has any idea what team Melky Cabrera is on

[Cocos Disciples]

Some good games tonight. Royals-White Sox in the 10th, Marlins and Jays both won on walkoffs in the 10th. I love MLB.tv.

[Jasonbay44]

I bet no one has any idea what team Melky Cabrera is on

 

Royals. I only know because I saw someone pick him up in fantasy baseball.

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

Yeah, I saw the Marlins walk off as well.

Can someone name a player in the MLB that has power and speed?

Hanley Ramirez, Ian Kinsler, Shin-Soo Choo, Carlos Gonzalez...

Hanley Ramirez' date=' Ian Kinsler, Shin-Soo Choo, Carlos Gonzalez...[/quote']

 

I'm not so sure about Kinsler. He had 9 Hrs and 15 SBs last year.

[Cocos Disciples]

I'm not so sure about Kinsler. He had 9 Hrs and 15 SBs last year.

 

In an injury-plagued, partial season. He had 31/31 in 2009.

A few more: Brandon Phillips, Chris Young, Andrew McCutchen, BJ Upton and Carl Crawford has some pop.

The first name I think of is Carl Crawford.

Some potential others:

 

Ben Zobrist, Jose Reyes, Matt Kemp, Justin Upton, David Wright, and even Pujols and Votto can steal some bases. Also Alex Rios, Shane Victorino, Hunter Pence, Drew Stubbs, (if only stats count, then Bobby Abreu still qualifies) and many others like Ryan Braun, Chase Utley etc.

 

Sure, a lot of these aren't elite power hitters or elite basestealers, or elite at either, but they show that you can have power and speed. I'm sure that Derek Jeter did a few years ago.
