That ball just jumped off of his bat. It had that sound again.

12 pitches for Gonzalez, the only hit was a HOFer putting a HOF swing on a pitch about six inches off of the ground.

Beltre almost hit that pitch off of the ground.

QUOTE (greg775 @ May 9, 2016 -> 05:43 PM) USA 2016 where everybody is special. Nobody needs to follow rules. Like George Carlin jokes about the entitled brats being raised today. "Johnny your team didn't finish in last place. You were the last group of winners." I love his take on being special. All kids are special. At what age does that exactly change? Cause as we know Not all adults are special. We should have a formal party when it's time that little Johnny isn't special anymore and has to enter the ratrace with everybody else and try to make a buck. Little Johnny isn't special any more at 22? 23? So why are you acting like you are special? This has all been about you b****ing about being uncomfortable around others.

Nice start for Gonzalez.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ May 9, 2016 -> 07:12 PM) RBI groundout to the pitcher? How did that happen? He had to run a long way towards first base to make the play. It would have taken an absolutely perfect play to have a chance at Eaton at home. Not worth the risk.

QUOTE (Alexeihyeess @ May 9, 2016 -> 07:10 PM) gotta be 2B E8 right? Crashing into the wall, that is an easy triple call.

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ May 9, 2016 -> 04:14 PM) I bet he gets a minor league contract. Nobody is going to sign him to a guaranteed MLB deal without seeing him in front of live batters, are they? I mean, Danks could go and throw 41 decent pitches against air. My guess would be MiLB deal, with short time to an opt out. Say 30 days. Promised money around a couple of million, with a couple million more in incentives.

Fangraphs is up to 67.7%. Despite a 5 game lead over them, the Indians are still their favorites at 68.8% 538 is at 73%. Next up is Cleveland at 48%. BP has us at 78.8%, Cleveland at 72.8%

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ May 9, 2016 -> 03:25 PM) As far as Linncecum is concerned has anyone heard any reports on his tryout other than what he or his agent have posted. He said he felt and did great but what do team scouts have to say? If he gets signed I would imagine a $5M a year contract is not out of the question or even fair for a guy with his history. My only concern is that injury and if it may resurface Keep in mind that we are 32 games into the season, and any contract he gets will be prorated for the remaining part of the season.

QUOTE (Jose Paniagua @ May 9, 2016 -> 03:12 PM) We have to prepare ourselves for Fulmer potentially being a reliever for most of his career. This is not to put him down, but guys like him are particularly made for that role. He will of course get a lot of MiLB opportunities as a starter b/c of the high draft status Well that and the fact that he is incredibly talented.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 9, 2016 -> 02:36 PM) Starting them against Toronto and Texas, two of the prolific offenses in the AL...probably not the best way to accomplish that. Not to mention the Erik Johnson start against the Red Sox. If he gets lit up by the Royals the way their offense is going AND without Moustakas, the Angels, Rays, Twins, A's, that's one thing. But nobody can realistically expect less than 3-6 runs allowed against the better offenses in the league. You can't fully pick and choose who these guys start again. When you have no offdays, they have to go some time.

Figure this from Jackson's stand point. If he has a bad year, he looks for another one year bridge contract, and probably finds it based on his defense. If he has a vintage year, he doesn't want to be locked out of the market. He wants the chance to cash in.

QUOTE (RibbieRubarb @ May 9, 2016 -> 02:10 PM) Yeahhh...none of that is really true. Your opinion maybe...but it is not a wasteland by any means. Agreed. The pine forest of east Texas is beautiful. There are so many great beaches along the gulf coast, especially considering how much of it has no one on them. Houston has the Johnson Space Center. The Riverwalk in San Antonio is supposed to be the best in North America. Austin is supposed to be a great town.

I would bet a lot of money that there have been way more attacks by same sex child molesters versus transgendered in bathrooms. That is not even taking into account how many times thing have happened in the settings where a male molests a male child in a power situation, such as a coach and an athlete or something similar.
