that's a triple play!

the baltimore announcers are such huge homers, wow.

TY!

TY!

Machado has a f***ing rocket.

frazier should have hammered that s*** breaking ball.

regression to the mean sucks.

breaks are not going their way in this series.

All it makes me realize is that even though I own my own business I'm still just another rat on the treadmill. Coming back to Hawk after Jason is extra poopish.

Why is Rodon still in? Guess RV has given up on this one.

Stupid MILF shot jinxed them.

f***ing s*** luck.

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Apr 29, 2016 -> 06:46 PM) Speed, Arm, and Power I would say he "flashes". He has NEVER shown me good contact or defensive skills. My quick Avi ratings: Speed 45/45 Arm 50/50 Contact 30/55 Power 25/60 Defense 20/30 Honestly after looking at my quick scouting report it doesn't look like his upside is much more than solid starter, and that's a long way off. Obviously he needs to have a good year to stay in MLB, let alone become a solid starter.

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Apr 29, 2016 -> 07:32 PM) Hawk just said Avi is the most talented player on this ballclub. *sigh* He really needs to just retire. I'm not a huge Benetti fan but compared to hawk holy s*** he's amazing. Unlike Hawk, Benetti actually seems to enjoy his job and doesn't just spout the same 3-5 points over and over again.

Sit down Trumbo that ball was perfectly placed.

Holy s*** Avi turned on a fastball middle in.

QUOTE (mmmmmbeeer @ Apr 28, 2016 -> 09:49 PM) After listening to Jason for such a long string of games, am I the only one that was bored as s*** watching this game tonight? Granted, it was a Danks start...but still. Stoney is so much more talkative and, eh, "fun" when working with Jason. I felt the same way. Hawk's brooding is just a downer. He doesn't have anything new to say at all he just repeats the same thing over and over and over as well.

What's this dude's issue? From all indications he has a pretty sweet line drive stroke with a great contact rate -- SO TAKE SOME PITCHES. Why be so afraid to go deep in the count? Seems to a org wide failure as much as an individual one IMO. At some point a coach needs to sit him down and radically adjust his approach. Unless he's Vlad with the plate coverage being over aggressive in MLB is a great way to put up a line like Avi or 2015 Ramirez.

I don't mind Danks taking the money, MLB has a strong union and god knows there is enough money floating around the game to make sure the players get a fair shake for the value they provide to the owners. I do mind him sucking ass and taking the wind out of the sail of the team. Every start he's made he has gotten absolutely lit up where you are just PRAYING they hit it right at some one so he can get out of it. I mean, if you're one of the other 24 guys you see it, plain as day. I don't think most fans have an appreciation for the insane competitive zeal and work ethic it takes to make it as a pro athlete. Danks put in countless hour of rehab to work to come back and you know he didn't have to do any of it he could have easily half assed it, never built up any arm strength and basically just dared the Sox to cut him. But he didn't, because there's no way a pro athlete can just turn off that competitive fire it doesn't matter if he's getting paid or not. But even for a pro, Danks went above and beyond trying to come back from this devastating injury. My understanding of the injury is that just coming back and pitching 600+ big league innings is unprecedented. Do not think Johan Santana, granted he was older, made it even 300 post capsule surgery. It's time to use some of the LaRoche money and just write off the rest of Danks' salary and DFA him.

Hey does anybody know the first rule of baseball?

Adam Eaton take a bow!

sale, q, carlos, latos and pray for rain.

This is putting me in a bad mood. Probably gonna have to turn it off as I"m still at work.

Jesus christ.
