2015 regular season chatter

combined no-no thus far

oorrrrrrr not

thank God, combined no-hitters even worse than the other kind

@DCameronFG
Combined no-hitters are so awesome the Indians used their 3rd, 5th, and 6th best relievers to try and get one.

ryan howard has made two consecutive dumbass fielding errors

ryan howard will make 25 million dollars this year

ban ryan howard ban ruben amaro ban the phillies

ZIPS projects him for 0.0 WAR. if my calculations are right, that means that for each 1.0 WAR they're paying him...let's see...25 million divided by 0...carry the ...wait how do i even

*world explodes*

hahaha

"yeah I feel like a horse"

Prince Fielder still hilarious when it comes to base running.

waht website(s) do y'all use to check scores?

the new espn layout sucks

kinda like mlb.com's layout, but fuck 'gameday' when i want a box score, not to mention pop-up live look-in videos

i dont mind the espn redo & thats what i use but id like a better answer to this too

i kinda like tsn's layout, but: no yearly totals for homers, no pitching probables for future games, but the box score page sux and you can't see both teams at the same time

channeling my inner lex complaining about free things changing, but i'm okay with that -- the only times this stuff bothers me is here and with ncaa tourney brackets

raze new yankee stadium, it is a heap of trash

made a visit, did ya? i have avoided it.

i would theoretically love to hear what John Sterling sounds like in the 16th inning these days... but no i can't bear to tune in.

you can't predict baseball, suzyn

esmil rogers left out there about four innings too many.

theScore app is A+ if your checking on your phone

tbf esmil was the last pitcher available

and his counterpart twice blew a lead

adrian gonzalez has 1.2 WAR

(fWAR)

did you guys hear Sterling after DiDi's 2 run homer?

"ohhh bursting from the ENN-WHY-CEE comes the Double D's, and they're looking.. gregarious!"

I'm generally a fan of keeping my stomach contents in my stomach so listening to sterling and suzyn is ill-advised

xp pls let that be real

I was one of the masses at yankee stadium today. Sat up in the grandstand. Windy as fuck.

at least the Yanks learned to lose in half the time

now i'll always be able to say: i was there that one day ubaldo jimenez looked like he'd work out

Yordano Ventura stirring up shit with Trout today..

dan uggla had an rbi double today - stopped clocks, etc.

Hechavarria had 3 hits!

there goes your hacking mass team!

Rickie Weeks one-hopping the cutoff man, 12-hopping the catcher.

OK, he three-hopped the catcher, but still.

Years ago:

"Hey Rickie, wanna long-toss?"

"...You know I play second, fool."

"OK, cool."

there goes your hacking mass team!

not really... obv he wasnt gonna have a .450 OPS all year. They have to get hits sometime.

Robinson Cano loses count of the outs, gets caught off third on the night honoring his namesake. tsk tsk

no "metal detectors" at Citi last night, just a kid with a wand

bartolo colon has more wins than the milwaukee brewers

Francona may have left Allen in too long tonight.

i tend to agree

whoa. bryan price ust have been hangry or something. this is just an excerpt of a post-game interview:

...CTR: I don't think you do and I don't know that that's my job.

Bryan Price: Your job is not to sniff out every f****** thing is about the Reds and f****** put it out there for every other f****** guy to hear. It's not your job. You want me to be candid with you? I've been candid with you. I f****** talk to you guys like men, I tell you what the f***'s going on with the team, I tell you how I'm feeling as candidly as I can and then this s***? You've got to watch this f****** s***? I've got to f****** read that on a f****** Tweet on our own people in here that we don't have a f****** player? How the f*** does that benefit the Reds? It doesn't benefit us one f****** bit. God **** we try to go out there and win f****** games and I got to come in here and then you guys f****** blow it all over the f****** place? Who we can play? Who we can't? I'll tell you what you want to know, I'm not going to f****** lie to you. I didn't tell you f****** s***.

CTR: You did not lie to me and I appreciate it.

BP: Ah, f***. I'm just, I'm f****** p****** up a rope in this f****** business. Because everyone has to know everything all the f****** time. That's not my f****** obligation, it's not their obligation. You know why f****** Billy Hamilton didn't f****** play? The other day? Because his f****** finger's hurt and he couldn't hit right-handed comfortably. Right? So that's something that I need to know and no one else needs to know. No one else needs to f****** know it, and all of a sudden it's out there. His f****** fingers are sore. It doesn't benefit us. It wasn't from you, but it doesn't benefit us one bit to f****** announce to the f****** other teams that we're playing to bring in lefties when they need to f****** get Billy out. There's no benefit. So, I'm f******, to be honest with you, I'm f****** sick of this s***. I'm sick of listening to this f****** s***, I'm sick of f****** the f****** second-guessing b*******, you guys can do whatever the f*** you want, but I'll tell you this — I'm not going to f****** tell you everything about this f****** club, because you f****** guys are going to out there and sniff it out anyway. I don't f****** like it one f****** bit. I bend over backwards to be honest and direct with you f****** guys and you stick it right up my f****** a** — and the f****** team's a**. And I'm sick of it. What do you got? If you don't got anything, get out and I'll do this f****** interview with Marty. You don't have anything? Just get out, please.

I know the dodgers had a national game last week but seriously how does the first kershaw vs madbum face off not make it onto national tv? lame

#bestfansinbaseball

After one inning of snowy and bone-chilling play in Detroit, the Yankees lead the Tigers 6-4. Pitches thrown: 87.

What?

Beltrán tripled to deep left center, McCann scored.
Headley tripled to deep right center, Beltrán scored.
Petit intentionally walked.

Well, it "worked."

i'd agree that this was a pretty damn good regular season overall and most of them have been exciting this decade, although in some cases second halves have been considerably more interesting than firsts (2014) and vice versa (2011). this season didn't have that many dog days at all, imo

we also had the triple crown vs trout debate and an uncountable amount of no-hitters. seriously, the yankees not being the perrenial dominant team is one of the big reasons I became a baseball fan now and not then.

also bat flips became a thing, no?

i'd kind of wandered away from baseball for awhile in favor of the nfl (as a cubs fan, i think this started with the '03 meltdown and subsequent dusty baking of that team.) but i don't watch the nfl anymore because the culture around it is so gross and i can't look past the CTE stuff anymore, and there are so many great young players (half a dozen on the cubs alone!) that i came back in a big way towards the end of last season.

it's a great time to be a baseball fan, that's for sure.
