Dallas Keuchel has been cooking.

 

[Hahahaha]

Great seats at the Blue Jays game.




How many games do you guys think Gomes will get suspended for? He really ran from the OF to come push Escobar

Boston losing 10 in a row

 

[champcruthik]

Things won't get easier for Boston. With three of their next four series against Braves, Rays, Tigers.

Dallas Keuchel has been cooking.

Dealing.

Happy for my guy Beckett. Channeling some old magic at 34.

That thing encarnacion does when running the bases after hitting a home run is the dumbest thing ever

Cueto vs. Ryu should be a good pitching duel.

Bucholz is struggling something terrible this year.

Bucholz is struggling something terrible this year.

it's frustrating as hell, man. i fully expect him to hit the DL shortly.

 

[651akathepaul]

6 BB's in 2 2/3. That last change-up was a beaut though.

Get in a groove, be a machine, I don't know...

 

[madj55]

Giancarlo Stanton absolutely just destroyed a baseball. Nats offense is pathetic.

 

[DeadsetAce]

they were talking about his release point earlier. couldnt hear cause i was at the gym, but they were comparing release point and arm angle to last year. looked lower than normal. sounds fixable, unless it's an injury or nagging issue.

 

[651akathepaul]

Probably all mental. The hope is he doesn't go down the Ankiel, Willis route...Horrible.

I don't think it's that bad yet, though.

 

[DeadsetAce]

ah so you're saying he might be the next CF for us, eh? i'll allow it

nah i agree. don't think it's that far down the ankiel path yet, but man if he starts throwing balls behind batters or 4 feet over their heads, it's a wrap

actually happened to that dude daniel bard for us. was supposed to be the heir to papelbon...but he lost it mentally.

Stanton is so good, man. I hope for the sake of Marlin's fans that the team finds a way to keep him long term.

I don't think it's that bad yet, though.

Or because he's not doctoring the baseball... Totally serious.

Also those split screen angles ESPN shows are ao stupid. One instance doesn't mean a players mechanics have changed. Also a slightly different angle can make things look different.

 

[DeadsetAce]

someone get my dude pedroia a headblade

 

[651akathepaul]

What's Pedroia huffing about in the dugout?

I cannot stand that dude.

 

[DeadsetAce]

needs to stop yelling about a call on 2-0 and just start ******* hitting the ball

 

[finallyfamous]

Red Sox have lost 10 straight? wow just saw that.

damn.

 

[Johnny_Cakes]

It's almost as if that 2012 team has come back from the dead after they win the World Series. I don't know how to feel about this.

Dear Giancarlo "Mike" Stanton,

As a fan of baseball, I would like to thank you for continuing to deliver balls with your bat so hard/far, the opposite direction of the pitcher's intention, that all I can do is nod in adoration.

The "post" steroid era of baseball is not only appreciative of players of your caliber and strength, but dependent on it. We as fans hope that your current team, the Miami Marlins, become contenders fast or trades you to a team that is; preferably one with an awesome/classic team uniform that isn't a rival team of the one(s) I root for.

Sincerely,

Fan Who Only Sees a Quarter of His Favorite Teams' Games Because of Lucrative Cable Contracts
