Youkillis having a blazing start to the year

[BSN07]

lol ya Born I get what your saying. It's why I never totally count them out until the math says so. I swear there is some spiritual possession going on in Yankee land sometimes haha

[Youk Of The Nation]

I have to say, it's bizarre to watch Kevin Youkilis get hit by a pitch while in a Yankees uniform, see the pitcher get thrown out, and then watch Terry Francona, in an Guardians jacket and hat, come out to argue the situation. Two years ago the entire episode would have seemed like a horrible, horrible dream. Now it's just funny.

Baseball is a funny game sometimes

Baseball is a funny game sometimes

Yes, hysterical.

[Bellhorn04]

Josh Johnson got incinerated today. Welcome to the AL.

[User Name]

Sitting 88-89 most of the game. Those who pined for the Red Sox to acquire him should be having second thoughts right about now.

[Northern Star]

...and another of my favorite players bites the dust.

[Palodios]

Carl Crawford 2011 and 2012. 162 games. .1 WAR

Carl Crawford 2013. 8 games. .7 WAR.

 

f*** that guy.

[redsoxrules]

That won't last .

He'll have 1 or 2 good seasons and he'll be downhill from there.

[BornToRun]

Carl Crawford 2011 and 2012. 162 games. .1 WAR

Carl Crawford 2013. 8 games. .7 WAR.

 

f*** that guy.

 

Agreed. Overpaid Headcase.

Carlos Quentin is a little bitch.

You can ad Dickey and Buehrle to that list as well

[a700hitter]

Buehrle has averaged well over 200 innings a year and pitched to a 3.85 ERA over 12 AL seasons. The guy is steady as a rock despite his velocity.

yes what a moron.. he doesnt deserve to be playing for 2 months if thts the amount of time Greinke is out..

[rjortiz]

They've made two starts.

[Divinity]

it was also pretty moronic of Greinke to lower his shoulder and allow a 230 lb man charging towards him to run into it.

Yes because obviously you have a lot of time to think when a 230 lb man is charging you. Think before you comment.

[Dojji]

What Greinke did was his best bet. That's how you're taught to take a hit full-on, since it lets the body's natural shock absorbers take most of the blow. I've seen a lot of hockey players take a hit the exact same way. It was reminiscent of the way Milan Lucic took a hit from Alex Emelin lately, and Emelin definitely got the worst of that contact, so if Greinke got hurt there it was just bad luck and anything else he could have done carried a similar injury risk.

 

The moron here, if there was one other than Quentin, was A. J. Ellis, for not getting between Quentin and Greinke in the first place.

This. Even in little league they tell catchers to charge and stop a hitter that's going after your pitcher.

[RedSoxNC84]

I don't think it helped that Greinke got dogpiled either. That's a lot of big dudes hopping on top of your collarbone.

[Northern Star]

Carlos Quentin is a little bitch.

 

This. A nice big suspension should be forthcoming.

 

I'm not glad Greinke got hurt, but in general I'm rooting for the Dodgers to fall apart. f*** 'em.

[Palodios]

Jose Reyes out for 1-3 month. At this rate, they might not even make the wildcard.

[Bellhorn04]

Reyes being out won't be what makes or breaks the Jays. Dickey, Johnson, and Buehrle will do that.

[a700hitter]

Losing Reyes is a huge blow. When he is playing well, he is a game-changing player.

[User Name]

Quentin dropped his appeal to the suspension so it'll start tomorrow when the Padres play the Dogers. It's the right decision, but he's still a little bitch.

[Northern Star]

E. Bedard: 4 walks and a HR in 0.1 IP tonight.

[italstallianion]

He also had his first career save on opening day.

 

The only batter he got out was good friend Jed Lowrie.
