NESN announcers are getting on my nerves.

i haven't heard ANY baseball announcer say anything intelligent about joey votto/walks/obp
votto would look like a mad genius if he had anyone behind him to protect him/drive him in

don't really get the outrage at milwaukee fans. sad franchise loses star player, fans are happy to have him back
I don't care about steroids that much, but Braun brought the sample collector Dino Laurenzi down with him. That puts him in a class with guys like Lance Armstrong imo. Not merely a cheater, but fucking with other people to hide your lie.

Cool box score so far in ATL/MIL game
― @ActuallyMattC (Display Name (this cannot be changed):), Wednesday, 2 April 2014 18:12 (ten years ago) link
said box score, in the top of the 7th, continues to be cool
― ENERGY FOOD (en i see kay), Wednesday, 2 April 2014 18:50 (ten years ago) link
now only half cool
― ENERGY FOOD (en i see kay), Wednesday, 2 April 2014 18:53 (ten years ago) link
things just became half as cool
― Karl Malone, Wednesday, 2 April 2014 18:53 (ten years ago) link
still, pretty, pretty cool there
i would be much more optimistic about harang's ability to remain cool if it were 2006 or something

nah, he can do a card trick, lotsa sucky pitchers have

apropos of absolutely nothing, i just did a quick check to determine which player with a career negative fWAR had the most plate appearances.
Alfredo Griffin. 7331 PAs. Career fWAR: -1.0
Among active players, it seems to be Delmon Young, with 3939 PAs and a career fWAR of -1.3

Yuniesky dint last long nuff?
― images of war violence and historical smoking (Dr Morbius), Wednesday, 2 April 2014 21:23 (ten years ago) link
only 4278 PAs for poor old Yuniesky.
― Karl Malone, Wednesday, 2 April 2014 21:26 (ten years ago) link
but an admirable, solid -0.8 fWAR
Yuniesky Betancourt's streak of SEVEN consecutive seasons with a negative WAR is mindblowing (fWAR is a little kinder to him, but not by much). During much of that time he was a full time player!

I actually was writing that post before the last 3. I guess we thought of the same dude.
"COME ON, give us a break," Hawk croaks, as a replay shows Semien's swing nowhere near a check.

as the announcer of a crappy team i don't care about one way or another, hawk is tremendous and stone is his perfect partner

first flash of regular season power from wong there in a very long time. hamilton has looked preeetty terrible the first few two games. 4 strikeouts in the 1st game of course (which apparently puts him in the company of 16 or 17 other players since 1900) and not looking so great in CF either
