6/3 vs Texas

[Youk Of The Nation]

This is awesome.

[The_Destroyah]

Its the third inning and Nava has already gotten on base three times.

 

So has Carp

[VA Sox Fan]

Red Sox Slug Fest!!!! YAY YAY YAY!

[SoxFanForsyth]

Nava slash line watch: he's now hitting .305/.406/.494

 

Yeah. That's a .900 OPS.

 

Yeah. That's a 140 wRC+

[Standing Room]

Mercy rule.

[iortiz]

It's one of those nights....

[BornToRun]

Carp nets another RBI

 

We really do have an endless supply of fish puns at our disposal.

[VA Sox Fan]

Judging by the way the bats are going tonight someone has gotta be juicing.

 

Hitting well can be contagious. Not necessarily juice. I hope

[Youk Of The Nation]

Who would have thought Ortiz would have a chance at a cycle?

[Palodios]

Cycle for Ortiz tonight?

[BornToRun]

Nava slash line watch: he's now hitting .305/.406/.494

 

Yeah. That's a .900 OPS.

 

Yeah. That's a 140 wRC+

 

That's just downright sexually exciting.

[Standing Room]

Which Texas position player will be pitching tonight?

[VA Sox Fan]

Cycle for Ortiz tonight?

 

Unreal right? Last time he hit a triple was....???????

Yeah, as far as fish puns go, I doubt any of us will find ourselves floundering for ideas this season.

[RabbitIYH]

An Ortiz SO? What the hell just happened?

So if A-Rod and Cano are suspended, Yankees fans are going to go nuts with conspiracy theories about how Bud Selig hates them, right?

 

Somehow it will end up being Bill Belichick's fault and Uncle Bud will end up calling Goodell for a little help.....that nitwit will of course be only to happy to oblige. :D

2011. For some reason I remember him hitting more of them:lol:

I hope Salty does what Napoli has done when the guy in front of him is put on.

ARod might get suspended seeing as Bosch tried to start an IV to inject drugs into him. Cano is a different animal. If the drugs were moved under a proxy and no paper is trailed back to him AND there was no witness to the usage, then I highly doubt they could do anything to him. Also, the current policy requires a failed drug test, so I doubt anyone is getting hit in this scandal. MLB is going to try and suspend these guys and their suspensions will be overturned on appeal. The only players whose suspensions will not be overturned are minor leaguers since they aren't afforded the luxury of the appeals process

Thanks, but I need no outside help for my craft.

Boo-yah!

The owner of Biogenesis is a witness for MLB and he's naming names. It sounds as if MLB is fairly confident they can suspend these players for 100 games, even without a positive test. They have compelling evidence that these players used banned substances and then lied about it to the MLB investigation.

prior to 2012 he had hit atleast (and usually only) one triple in like 11 consecutive seasons.

[SoxFanForsyth]

He actually had a crazy streak where he had a triple every year from 2000 to 2011.

 

I believe to was the longest active streak in the majors

Potential for a new addition to the chart?

They may have compelling evidence, but if the CBA requires a positive test, then they will all get off scott free. It is all based on the written word in the agreement. I don't know what the CBA says, but it will be interesting to see what it does. I am sure there will be all the standard pundits on ESPN talking about it in detail. I look forward to that analysis.

In all fairness, name a better Red Sox player to come out of the farm in the last 5 years.

What, that a legal document is held to it's every letter when it is said to be enforced?
