Daniel Murphy now has 20 hits and 17 RBI in just 12 games against the Mets. I have never seen anything like this.

Evil Vito 07-09-2016 08:56 PM

Murphy is like a fat girlfriend you dumped who then goes on to drop 30 pounds, get implants, starts dating your next door neighbor, and has the loudest sex imaginable.

I guess you couldn't predict David price almost having a 5 ERA either

Evil Vito 07-09-2016 09:43 PM

And there's another HR and 2 more RBI for Murph.

Unfuckingbelievable

ClockShot 07-10-2016 07:59 AM

I'll be damned. Derek Jeter got married.

To Hannah Davis, no less. Good for him.

Damian Rey 2.0 07-10-2016 11:18 AM

Jeter proving patience is a virtue.

Evil Vito 07-10-2016 02:04 PM

Another HR for Murph. 7th against the Mets in 13 games. Jesus fucking Christ

How is he not just getting walked every time out?

Ol Dirty Dastard 07-10-2016 05:45 PM

lol his numbers as a whole are ridiculous. Haven't gotten a chance to watch him though, since last years post season. Seems like his run created some kind of menace.

ClockShot 07-10-2016 08:53 PM

Yankees take 3/4 from the streaky Indians.

And get back to .500 in the process.

Droford 07-10-2016 08:56 PM

Enjoy 4th place

ClockShot 07-10-2016 08:58 PM

Sure will.

Ol Dirty Dastard 07-10-2016 09:22 PM

Droford, shut the fuck up

Droford 07-10-2016 09:27 PM

Well they won't finish last thanks to the Rays

So..

Chance Sisco hit a homer in the Futures game..woo

weather vane 07-10-2016 11:23 PM

Moncada.

Damian Rey 2.0 07-11-2016 02:33 AM

Was there at the game. A kid for the Cubs, Eloy Jimenez, made maybe the best catch I've ever seen live.

Padres prospect Manny Margot robbed a homer. Mvp Yoan Moncada hit a fucking rocket into the left field second deck.

Had a blast watching these kids play.

So..

You know that people have favourite teams that aren't your favourite team, and sometimes their teams aren't going to be particularly great at given points (hell the Yankees could conceivably go on a run and finish first in the East, you never know). This is a baseball discussion forum, not a talk shit on people who are fans of different teams forum. I'm sure Clockshot didn't take what you said personally, but show a slight bit of decorum and have a real discussion without being a smarmy little prick.

Damian Rey 2.0 07-11-2016 12:08 PM

He's not capable of such.

Droford 07-11-2016 02:02 PM

All I know is despite being 15 over .500 at 51-36 the Orioles are prjected to finish 37-38 with 88 wins..behind the Sox and Jays who they are projected to play in the 1 game wild card. Feels ridiculous

Damian Rey 2.0 07-11-2016 02:07 PM

It feels ridiculous because you lack the ability to be objective about your own team. You're the same guy who came up with the "peaking too early" nonsense last year when your team faded as Toronto surged.

If the protections were flipped they'd suddenly be much less if at all ridiculous, because you lack the ability to be objective.

Droford 07-11-2016 03:57 PM

Winning record in April May and June

Been in 1st place since June 6th only teams with better records since are Cleveland Houston in the AL..plus the Giants Dodgers and Nationals.

Best offense in baseball and the 2nd best bullpen.

Granted the starters are the 28th worst..but that will right itself with stopping putting Ubaldo Jiminez out there.

Ruien 07-11-2016 04:07 PM

Which means they peaked and will have a downfall for the next 3 months.

Droford 07-11-2016 04:17 PM

Hey..Toronto managed to win 2 games in the ALCS which was 2 more than the Os did year before..but they didn't win..so..

Damian Rey 2.0 07-11-2016 04:44 PM

So who is taking for Jimenez that will be an improvement?

Droford 07-11-2016 04:59 PM

Jim Palmer could come out of retirement and do better than his 2 whip and 7 era

In convinced it'll be Dylan Bundy though

Damian Rey 2.0 07-11-2016 05:02 PM

It's also not that ridiculous to think Baltimore will slow down. They're third in the league in total offense per ops+, but middle of the pack in run prevention. So you have a team that's great at scoring and mediocre at preventing. Not hard to realize they're probably a pretty good but not great team.

As opposed to Toronto, who's 4th in offense and 2nd in run prevention. You would assume that Toronto would produce a better record since they're outscoring their opponents by a larger margin. Obviously doesn't always play out that way but over time those numbers are far more indicative of future results.

But of course Baltimore is being talked down, so it feels ridiculous.

Damian Rey 2.0 07-11-2016 05:03 PM

Bundy has been hurt for ages and has a calcified shoulder. They're better off with Jimenez.

Droford 07-11-2016 05:26 PM

Must have missed last week when Bundy had 7 is in 2.1 innings out of the bullpen vs the Dodgers

Damian Rey 2.0 07-11-2016 06:13 PM

2.1 innings is not a start. He has a long history of injury and moving him into a more demanding position in the first healthy year he's had is ridiculously short sighted. Just because he's been good in short spurts doesn't mean he's gonna succeed starting. He's done nothing to indicate he's ready to going 5 or 6 innings every 5 days.

Droford 07-11-2016 06:32 PM

They've been stretching him out to like 3 innings out of the bullpen which is longer than Ubaldo can stay in his starts..

Damian Rey 2.0 07-11-2016 06:38 PM

So how does tell you he's going to be an upgrade as a starter? 3 innings isn't a start? His track record of heath or lack thereof isn't concerning? One bit?

Damian Rey 2.0 07-11-2016 06:49 PM

Not to mention, even if Bundy somehow manages to be decent, it won't account for the rest of the rotation, which is still mediocre at run prevention. He's not going to dramatically change that current ranking.

Evil Vito 07-11-2016 07:59 PM

38 + 41

Final list of All Star replacements:

AL out: Estrada, Kimbrel, Salazar
AL in: Kluber, Sanchez, Quintana

NL out: Carpenter, Bumgarner, Strasburg, Fowler, Cespedes, Syndergaard
NL in: Diaz, Colon, Scherzer, Bruce, Marte, Pomeranz

79 All Stars in total, roughly 10.5% of the league. Not much you can do to change that though given all the injuries.

Evil Vito 07-11-2016 08:04 PM

The lineups have also been unveiled:

NL
1. Ben Zobrist 2B
2. Bryce Harper RF
3. Kris Bryant 3B
4. Wil Myers DH
5. Buster Posey C
6. Anthony Rizzo 1B
7. Marcell Ozuna CF
8. Carlos Gonzalez LF
9. Addison Russell SS
Pitcher: Johnny Cueto

AL
1. Jose Altuve 2B
2. Mike Trout CF
3. Manny Machado 3B
4. David Ortiz DH
5. Xander Bogaerts SS
6. Eric Hosmer 1B
7. Mookie Betts RF
8. Salvador Perez C
9. Jackie Bradley Jr. LF
Pitcher: Chris Sale

Fucking sucks not having Cespedes and Thor. My interest in the game is really hampered as I highly doubt Colon is gonna pitch and Familia might not unless the NL has a late lead. Tough to blame Collins not wanting any of his guys to get hurt but still sucks.

Damian Rey 2.0 07-11-2016 08:17 PM

Wil Myers!

Droford 07-11-2016 08:35 PM

Mark Trumbo unloading the trumbombs

Droford 07-11-2016 08:40 PM

Hopefully Stanton hit too many in the 1st round

Frank Drebin 07-11-2016 08:59 PM

These goofy yellow and brown Padres unis are everyone's favs but I'm impartial to the old home pinstripes. Classy.

Agree with Drebin. Love the 84 theme but the blue mid 90s pinstripes where it's at
