QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 22, 2013 -> 07:22 PM) John Danks also started on Saturday. If he was starting and getting lit up on 3 day's rest tonight, then whose fault would it be? Danks, or the GM? GM has final say on these things, but this is all almost certainly a decision made by the coaching staff

Looks like he's settled down. He should be okay. In the end, the runs scored on a bulls*** soft hit anyway

That 0-2 pitch was a screwball

Nava acting mad when he'd already been gifted a ball

A bit low on velocity

The 81mph pitch is a changeup, not a screwball

Piece of s*** Ortiz

I definitely prefer Sanchez to Greene.

I had a lot of help ITT when I got my latest computer.

QUOTE (Real @ May 22, 2013 -> 05:20 PM) what's this I'm hearing on 670 regarding Beckham being tried out at SS? They're deciding if they need someone on the bench that can play SS. Some chance that they want to keep Casper and drop both Greene and Sanchez

QUOTE (bbilek1 @ May 22, 2013 -> 04:07 PM) I hope you're joking. Pretty much. I don't hate the idea of seeing Howard on our team, but I can't fathom a price I like.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 22, 2013 -> 04:03 PM) Ryan Howard has 3.75 years and $100 million remaining on his contract. Yikes. Well, we have to replace PK....

It's 3 days of rest people. It isn't optimal, but far from a catastrophe. Lots of pitchers do this occasionally

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 22, 2013 -> 01:17 PM) Does that player even exist in this draft? It probably isn't Noel

I understand the sentiment that you would like to get a player that at least has the talent/ceiling to carry the team offensively with the number 1 pick

QUOTE (fathom @ May 22, 2013 -> 12:36 PM) Pretty cool to see Stetson Allie putting up monster numbers with the bat. That's crazy. When I played against him, they never let him bat at all. Control on the hill was dangerous-bad back then, too

Brian getting much-deserved respect and attention on ESPN

What Brian didn't understand was that $2 million was NOT a lowball offer.

Peavy (2013) vs righties: .607 OPS vs lefties: .695 OPS Danks vs righties: .726 OPS vs lefties: .740 OPS Q vs righties: .742 OPS vs lefties: .688 OPS Sale vs righties: .660 OPS vs lefties: .546 OPS Santiago (2013) vs righties: .722 OPS vs lefties: .755 OPS Axelrod vs righties: .764 OPS vs lefties .754 OPS Career numbers unless noted. Took Peavy's 2013 because I didn't want pre-injury numbers. Took Hector's 2013 because platoon splits as a relief pitcher are very misleading. I think this righty/lefty discussion is silly.

My column for tomorrow is up: Chris Sale's Missed Start No Reason to Worry

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ May 21, 2013 -> 10:27 PM) I really hope we move up in the ESPN power rankings. That's really all that matters to me.

The bullpen problems are being terribly overstated ITT

fwiw, there is no Spanish word that sounds like stallion that means stallion

Rios!!!!

Alexei loves the 2 spot
