OT: MLB Thread

Re: OT: MLB Thread 2012

What happened to the Phillies this year?

They stink. Too much money spent on starting pitching and not enough offense to make up for the injuries to Doc and others. There will likely be a re-tool, not a re-build, but nothing major. Almost 300 consecutive sellouts and the the franchise is now in Yankees, Red Sox territory as far as status and revenues.

I don't know if they are up there in status. Revenue probably yes although the Yankess seem to be an cash cow that never dries up.

That Oakland team is nice to watch. It looked like Moneyball came out five years too late and everyone had caught up with Beane's thinking, but what a surprise. I thought they had nothing.

Fluke?

Interesting trade

The Los Angeles Dodgers have acquired outfielder Shane Victorino from the Philadelphia Phillies in an attempt to bolster their lineup for a run at the NL West title.

According to numerous media outlets, including mlb.com, the Dodgers sent reliever Josh Lindblom and minor league pitcher Ethan Martin to Philadelphia.

Man, what a series between the Rangers and Angels! 76 runs scored in the four gamer. Dempster gets blasted in his first game in AL. I wonder if he wishes he had gone to the Dodgers?
 
Re: OT: MLB Thread 2012

As someone has on twitter last night - welcome to the major leagues, Ryan Dempster.
 
Re: OT: MLB Thread 2012

Dempster bounces back and pitchers 6 2/3 with zero earned runs to beat the Red Sox. Nice turn around.
 
Re: OT: MLB Thread 2012

The Jays seem to be in a bit of a tailspin lately. I guess the injuries have caught up to them.
