Favorite Hockey Moment: 2012 Stanley Cup final. Watching the team I've been invested in since I was probably 6 or 7 years old finally win a cup was amazing.
I've seen a few places that it was a hard pitch count from the front office before the game even started. I agree with it, put the kids future ahead of a no hitter.
With as willing as Kansas and Tampa were to move him, it makes me believe the talk that he has an attitude problem and coaches can't get through to him. Might change as he gets older and spends more time with veteran guys, but he lost a lot of his development time being an asshole apparently.
Greinke gets torched in his first game as a DBack, he is truly a Dodger. Going behind enemy lines to sink their ship. Way to take one for the team Zack!
Just a heads up for those of you who don't know. T-Mobile became the official mobile whatever for MLB and as a gift to their customers they are giving everyone a free year of MLB.tv Premium. This allows you to stream games on your phone, computer, console, TV. You have to sign up FROM YOUR PHONE...
Obviously Corey Seager, but if the rotation ends up short, look out for Julio Urias or Jose De Leon. Either could see call ups at some point this season especially if they are dealing at AAA.
Getting on base almost half the time I would say is more useful and beneficial to the team than a guy who is straight power guy. Unless 70HR is also hitting 300, then we might have a different conversation.
I would say Kershaw. With Andersons injury, Kazmir's speed drop off this spring(although he looked good last night), and with Ryu and McCarthy coming off injuries, you are left with an unproven group of guys after that. If Kershaw struggles for an extended period, the rotation really becomes a...
Similar to MadBum, he had that one postseason where he was untouchable, and people want to act like he is the greastest pitcher of all time. Yea he had a good postseason, but look at his body of work as a whole. He's a career over 3 ERA pitcher, and never had a truly dominating long length of...
If they didn't allow him to throw so many innings toward the end of the year it would probably be a different story. Not to mention Don Mattingly couldn't run a bullpen to save his damn life.
A true pitchers duel where both guys are dealing, not a pitchers duel where it's 2 mediocre pitchers pitching OK, and the hitters are just off. There is just something about guys who are locating their pitches and getting good movement.
Are we getting like a genie wish for a team to go 0-162? If so, the Cards just based on the fact that they acted like "the best fans in baseball" when the shit on twitter after Heyward left really spoke to that. Dodger fan in me says Giants because fuck them.
His gambling hasn't nothing to do with what he did on the field. The Hall Of Fame is not run by MLB, so it should be based on his accolades on the field. Oh you gambled on games but you have the most hits in league history? PED use is one thing, but gambling on baseball while putting up the...
It's most valuable PLAYER. The pitcher plays the game, so yes, they should be eligible. Maybe the league needs a position player award, like maybe the Vin Scully Award.
Dodgers get a solid B. They didn't overpay to keep Greinke, they didn't overpay in FA, they added some really nice pieces through a couple trades, and didn't lose in any trade I feel like. I am a big fan of the new front office and their rebuilding of the minor league system. They also worked...
