OT: MLB Thread

Re: OT: MLB Thread 2012

Oriole fans are saying it's about time. They have been bad for so long.
 
Re: OT: MLB Thread 2012

Have to like the balls on the young kid Harper of the gnats. Gets hit on pupose in last nights game. Gets to third and then steals home.
 
Re: OT: MLB Thread 2012

Another guy to watch on the nats is Tyler Moore. Big power hitter, probably will get a chance with the Werth injury. They drafted him 3 times.

And yes, he's "going to make it after all."

Too bad he doesn't play in Minneapolis.
 
Re: OT: MLB Thread 2012

Also of note is Darnell Washington, a position player, finishing the game for the Sox and factoring into the decision as well.

Last time two position players were involved in a game decision: 1925, Ty Cobb and George Sisket.

Darn Darnell. What was I thinking. I hate the nats so much that they keep creeping up everywhere. Thanks for the heads up.

Lemme correct it to avoid further embarassment.

Wait a minute ... I'm past that already. :eek(16):

When you look at how Cole Hamels self-destructed since that purpose pitch, it's almost funny.

Hamels hits Harper in the low part of the back.

Harper picks himself up, grimaces but runs up-tempo to 1B.

Payback no. 1: Then as you describe, he aggressively takes 3rd on the next play and follows that up with stealing home.

Payback no. 2: Same inning, Hamels comes to bat. Nats SP Zimmermann plunks Hamels on the leg.

Payback no. 3: After the game, Mr. Macho Hamels admits he threw at Harper on purpose, calls it a "welcome to the big leagues" moment. Draws the ire of nats GM Mike Rizzo who calls Hamels "fake-tough". The cheese part of that welcome line was pretty much unanimously despised.

Payback no. 4: Hamels draws a 5-game suspension.

How to make a total fool of yourself in 4 easy steps. :lol
 
Re: OT: MLB Thread 2012

Josh Hamilton has four home runs tonight. No big deal.

Wowza. If he's lining them up like that, you just know it's because of a soon-to-happen prolonged DL stint.

5 for 5, 8 RBIs. Bottom of the 9th, an outside shot at another AB.
 
Re: OT: MLB Thread 2012

Hamilton has more RBI in his past six at-bats (10) than Pujols has all season.

Actually, most of baseball analysts agree with the Hamels pitch. I agree too. Its an unwritten rule in baseball, when you are a cocky youngster, you get hit by a throw.
