Soulstation1 Posted May 29, 2013 Report Posted May 29, 2013 Holy crap the Indians need a time out so they can regroup..,,, Quote
Neal Pomea Posted May 30, 2013 Report Posted May 30, 2013 What a slugfest in Baltimore! Both teams had 4 home runs last night, and though Ryan Zimmerman had 3 for the Nationals, it was small consolation for the Orioles winning 9-6! Quote
Soulstation1 Posted May 30, 2013 Report Posted May 30, 2013 George Brett is the new hitting coach for the Royals !!!!!!!!! Quote
Brad Posted May 31, 2013 Report Posted May 31, 2013 Put it in the books! Mets sweep Yankees. Yeah, that's right!!!!! Quote

Tim McG Posted June 2, 2013 Report Posted June 2, 2013 Giants pitching has hit an all time low. Gonna be a long season I'm afraid. Grrrr Quote

Tim McG Posted June 2, 2013 Report Posted June 2, 2013 Giants win one. Maybe they can get back on the good foot. [My apologies to James Brown] Quote
Aggie87 Posted June 2, 2013 Report Posted June 2, 2013 (edited) Don't look now, but the Houston Astros are the hottest team in MLB at the moment, riding a 5 game winning streak! I'm shocked (SHOCKED, I tell you!) they've done that, but they've still got the 2nd worst overall record in baseball too, so it's hard to get too excited. Plus, outside of the season opening game against the Rangers, they haven't been on tv here in Corpus, so I haven't seen them play since. Edited June 2, 2013 by Aggie87 Quote
Tim McG Posted June 3, 2013 Report Posted June 3, 2013 (edited) Tolja Houston is going to come alive in the AL West. You'll see. Edited June 3, 2013 by GoodSpeak Quote
Dan Gould Posted June 3, 2013 Report Posted June 3, 2013 There isn't a chance in hell that the Astros turn out to be anything but a glorified AAA team. There is a slightly better chance that the Red Sox start can be sustained but June will probably tell the tale: Home for Texas and the Angels TB and Baltimore on the road Home for Tampa Bay Four at Detroit before finishing the month with six at home against Colorado and Toronto If they can somehow run that gauntlet like they did the last 20-games-in-20-days mini marathon (13-7) then maybe they have a shot at being legit contenders the rest of the way. Whatever happens, gotta love Papi's epic homer last night, and his equally epic bat flip.

Tim McG Posted June 3, 2013 Report Posted June 3, 2013 There isn't a chance in hell that the Astros turn out to be anything but a glorified AAA team. Well, I remember hearing the very same thing about the Giants in 2010. You just never know... Quote
Neal Pomea Posted June 3, 2013 Report Posted June 3, 2013 Nationals drop below .500. Need to get a few players healthy and on board! Quote
Chalupa Posted June 4, 2013 Report Posted June 4, 2013 Dom Brown is playing out of his mind right now. I don't know how long it will last but I'm enjoying the ride. Quote
Chalupa Posted June 4, 2013 Report Posted June 4, 2013 BREAKING: MLB will seek to suspend A-Rod, Ryan Braun and about 20 players connected to Miami clinic. Quote

Dan Gould Posted June 5, 2013 Report Posted June 5, 2013 http://espn.go.com/espn/otl/story/_/id/9301536/major-league-baseball-suspend-20-players-including-alex-rodriguez-ryan-braun-part-miami-investigation This is remarkable if true and I'd love to see A-Rod and Braun go down for 100 games, but I can't understand why the owner of the clinic would agree to turn over everything to MLB, essentially announcing to law enforcement that he was a dope dealer. Maybe they were already going to take him down but why admit it all now? I don't think MLB's lawsuit against him was going anywhere, either. Quote
alocispepraluger102 Posted June 5, 2013 Report Posted June 5, 2013 beyond the scorecard http://beyondthescorecard.blogspot.com/2013/06/two-out-runs.html "1. Chances are there are more base runners than with 0 or 1 out. 2. Hitters really do perform worse with two outs--based on some research I'm doing on clutch hitting, that 17-point drop in batting average from one out to two isn't just statistically significant, it's STATISTICALLY SIGNIFICANT (even though true statistical significance doesn't have magnitude--it's binary, either significant or insignificant).So, most runners on base, but pitchers have a decided edge--could very well be a stalement. The numbers suggest otherwise, since 38.4% of runs are scored with two outs, around five points higher than if runs were evenly distributed by outs. Add to this my humble acknowledgement that my first attempt at quantifying two-outs runs was, um, how shall I put this, er, WRONG, I became very curious--my question:" Quote
