  1. Without looking it up, I'm going to guess...drugs and rest.
  2. Yeah, very true. That particular pitch was indeed a ball. Although sadly, in the realm of bad calls it was nothing you would call egregious. I've come to the conclusion that we'll never, ever see automated ball and strike calls, and maybe just as well. It would be too profound of a change. I think we'll definitely see expansion of replay. On balls and strikes we may see MLB do more monitoring of umps that fall too far outside the norm.
  3. Drake Britton has been a godsend so far.
  4. FanGraphs has Victorino with a UZR/150 of +41 runs.
  5. We don't know the exact reasoning behind the decision. Maybe Workman's innings limit for this year precludes him from being a starter the rest of the way.
  6. As has already been pointed out, with the same guy on the hill 5 days earlier Houston shut out the Orioles. It means little. It's just the same 'surprising' s*** that happens in baseball over and over again.
  7. Everybody's different, that's for sure. If people want to be upset and say it's shameful and embarrassing etc. to lose to the Astros, they have the perfect right. I disagree that losing one game to the Astros is shameful and I pointed out that other teams are losing games to them too. It's more like the law of averages taking effect.
  8. Yes, that's the other thing we don't know about. And Doubront is a pretty solid guess on the second pitcher they were asking for.
  9. This is exactly why I steer away from game threads. It sucks to lose to Houston but I see nothing to be gained by pouring out my frustration for others to read. Houston has won at least one game against every team they've played this year except for 0-3 vs. Minnesota. 2-4 vs. Baltimore 1-2 vs. NYY 2-5 vs. Tampa 1-4 vs. Red Sox
  10. Looks like he was underrated then, after blanking the Birds and us for 7 innings apiece. Houston has been winning 1 out of 3. We have to keep it that way.
  11. You said in your opening post that you think KC would have preferred Lester over Shields. That's what's being disagreed with. Other people are arguing that KC would prefer Shields and here's why.
  12. Andy's ERA has really been headed north lately.
  13. To put the finishing touches on this Theatre of the Bizarre, it's Hawk Harrelson doing the call.
  14. Duly noted sir.
  15. I'll check it out his next at-bat, if I remember LOL. Meanwhile Andy Pettitte, the Man Without Integrity, is taking his lumps.
  16. So I am guessing that if A-Road loses his appeal of the suspension, for every game he plays this year he'll miss a game at the start of the 2015 season. LOL
  17. Baseball GM's notoriously place a lot of emphasis on what the player did the previous season. They don't call it the 'contract year' for nothing. Shields's 2012 season was so much better than Lester's, there's no way he wasn't preferable at that point in time.
  18. KC giving up Myers for Shields would seem to reinforce that we did pretty well getting Peavy for Iglesias.
  19. And tonight, as the New York Post so cleverly put it, The Banned Plays On.
  20. The oddest quote in that article for me is where he calls Jeremy Guthrie a 'horrific signing'. Isn't that a wee bit over the top? Guthrie's numbers look just about right to me for a guy making 25 million over 3 years.
  21. Well, they certainly should have suspected it at the very least. And even if they thought he was cleaner than Snow White, giving him 10 years was an act of staggering stupidity.
  22. The only Forbes revenue figures that I can find, from the 2013 Business of Baseball issue, show the Red Sox at #2 in 2012 gross revenue with 336 million, behind the Yankees at 471 million. But I have no idea what these numbers include or if there are other numbers.
  23. It just offends my sense of logic that the Yankees would give A-Rod a 10-year, potentially $300 million deal, with the hopes of him breaking the home run record in their uniform, knowing full well that he was a PED user.
