Ridiculous.

[FredLynn]

Ridiculous.

 

Now that its over why not let as many minor leaguers as possible get a cup of coffee at the ML level?

[a700hitter]

Is there an ETA on the start of the game?

Now that's a pigpen.

[TylerD]

1-0 good guys.

[OH FOY]

E-Rod is becoming an Ace right before our eyes.

[FredLynn]

E-Rod is becoming an Ace right before our eyes.

 

On OUR staff he is the ace. I doubt many other teams would look at a guy with an ERA of nearly 4 (3.97) as ace material.

[OH FOY]

Happy Land. Eck hahahaha

[OH FOY]

Come on E-Rod.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

What Moreland lacks as a hitter he makes up for in speed.

[TylerD]

I love Mookie

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Mookie is helping to keep Berrios' pitch count down.

[FredLynn]

What Moreland lacks as a hitter he makes up for in lack of speed.

David Price: "Some call me the most overpaid pitcher in baseball. I just want to play."

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Fixed

 

 

You just removed the sarcasm.

Kid in Oakland had a torn Labrum, came back in 1 year went 7 innings gave up 1 run against Yankees, 1st start. He pitched a No-hitter against us last year. Making 4 million this year.

Shoulder and elbow 2 different things.

That promo should in reality end with "I just want to play if they pay me enough."

Now Betts starts to hit.

[TylerD]

58-9 when E a rod gets even average run support. Wow.

[oldtimer]

Now Betts starts to hit.

 

Like, where was it last night?

[moonslav59]

Like, where was it last night?

 

Yes and before, when it counted.

 

It's hard to criticize someone who just went over .900 and plays great D, but he isn't the same Betts as 2018- not really close.

[TylerD]

Now Betts starts to hit.

 

Better late than never

[moonslav59]

Better late than never

 

Better when it counted.

[OH FOY]

Come on E-Rod, wake up! Need you bro.

LaVangie discovered something wrong with VAZ's throws back to the pitcher.
