MLB Thread 2015

SCUB taming Kershaw with the long ball - this team is getting better as the year progresses. Wada-san down with a deltoid blowout.
Glad we got a lot of RATPIE action over early. (looks at RATPIE team ERA) Wow. Only the RS have a better team ERA. Ridiculous situation building in the NL Central - top three winning pct. teams in the NL - all in the Central. Hmmm... I suspect we revisit this subject often through the summer.

Three in a row now against good opposition under threatening skies at Wrigley last night. Be afraid:

That Scherzer kid is pretty good I guess

And Pete Rose...

Is it too early to say that I don't understand what is going on at all with teams this year? Oakland is +35 but 31-41? And the Astros?

 

[SerenityNigh]

Oh, and the Royals AS votes... How many times did you vote JD?

 

[mezzrow]

Check this out...

MINE!!! The Cubs now are 39-30, nine games over .500 for the first time since Aug. 4, 2009 (57-48). Chicago pitchers have given up three runs over the last 39 innings for a 0.69 ERA.

Well the real mets have shown up, the aliens have left their host bodies.

7 straight defeats!!!!! Our pitching has deserted us, giving up far too many early runs.

I like the umps non verbal reaction to Gonzalez on the foul catch

*Ump is on this view

Even worse, looks like that division is terrible this year

 

[SLAVEN BILIC]

Exactly, we were in a decent place and then Atlanta handed our arses to us over a couple of games.

Well, everybody but Washington. They're just not winning games they should - like when they played my Cubs. Stay tuned on them.

It's a funny game, this baseball.

Great story from the weekend of Long Island's own Steven Matz who won his MLB debut and went 3-for-3 at the plate. Such a nice thing these days for a local kid to play on the team he supported. I have a personal angle to this one as I went to the same high school as Steven.

What a game he had too!

And he got a double on his first AB. What a guy!

We may suck, but pitching wise, we're very good!

Absolutely. He can rake too...batting over .300 in AAA

Don't need to rush him.

He's possibly had the most hype of a Mets pitcher in a while, and that does include the Harvey train, and Thor etc... fingers crossed for him!

The Nats should really win the division by at least 12 games but there is something wrong there (beyond the thin bench and pen). Perhaps distractions with the Desmond and J. Zimmerman contracts

This weekend has been like a three game buttkicking at Anfield. St. Louis is really good.

I hate my life. (licks wounds) Very Everton that, Cubbies. Five L's in a row. Good that we play 162.

Well, we're young and we'll get better. Let's play two.
