2011 MLB Regular Season Gameday Thread

Craig Kimbrel is my man crush (and Kershaw)
I drool when i see him pitch

last year in the playoffs vs SF was the first I saw him. unbelievable stuff. best in baseball imo
im so glad he's in the all-star game

Kimbrel as a closer has more K's than fellow all-stars Jurrjens and Correia, as much as Vogelsong

 

[elcheato]

Him and Venters are both ridiculous... Venters' sinker is frightening.

*Self Indians Plug* Joe Smith has a 0.85 ERA out of the bullpen. A right handed side armer, and lefties are hitting .129 off him

 

[Mexi]

Venters and Kimbrel :umm:

 

[Rios15]

Just realized you were talking ASG lol x_x

 

[elcheato]

There are a lot of mediocre players on the all-star teams this year though because I think they are picking replacements off voting from the players and not the actual coaches.

It's honestly hilarious that Scott Rolen made the team. .240 AVG, .270 OBP, 5 homers, lmfao.

 

[WHO-DEY-BENGALS_18]

That is pretty sad.

Canada and J-Bau are gay

Yeah. Let's put the guy with 25 HR's in the nine hole. Real intelligent.

I'm going with Adrian Gonzalez for the Derby. A-Gone vs. Prince. If i'm wrong, oh well. I just have that feeling they'll do well. The year Vlad won it, I picked Alex Rios, and almost got that one right, so runner up at the worst is fine by me haha

 

[elcheato]

I'll go with Cano, his swing is smooth and effortless. A-Gon would be my second choice to win. Most of the guys in here have pretty violent swings and will probably take a toll on them.

 

[Mexi]

all of kemp's homers go to Right and Center so I wonder how he'll do
im worried about him messing up his swing trying to pull everything

i'm picking him. duh
if not, then Joey Bats



speaking of Kemp, hitting 3rd for the ASG <3. i wanted leadoff because that's probably his truest spot, but i'll take 3rd

poor kemp
saving them for the bitch ass NL West i guess

Jose: 31 HR, .334/.468/.702/1.170
Cano: 15 HR, .296/.342/.521/.863

 

[VC15]

Jose: 31 HR, .334/.468/.702/1.170
Cano: 15 HR, .296/.342/.521/.863

Jose: Plays with no pressure or expectations on a horrible baseball team.
Cano: Plays under constant scrutiny in the biggest market in the world.

For the record: That's a down year by Cano's standards, and he still the best at his position.

 

[Mexi]

he has no pressure? really?
if he doesnt do anything, they lose. simple
cano can have an 0-fer and the yankees can still win easily

Not everyone can handle the NY media's scrutiny. Just ask Zack Grienke.
