QUOTE (bmags @ Jun 11, 2014 -> 09:09 PM) I can't remember last De Aza hit I've seen. Well, he was 7 for his last 14 over the previous 5 games....so I'm going to guess it hasn't been long.

I bet De Aza is so stupid that he is going to be swinging for a HR here. He's comically stupid.

.....and the double play. *sigh*

Full count. Dayan is going to be swinging out of his shoes, I do believe.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jun 11, 2014 -> 08:52 PM) What's the new rule about blocking the plate? Can the umpire call the baserunner safe/discretion? I believe the rule is that you can't begin to block the plate until after you've secured the ball. I think it's to protect catchers from getting railroaded without the ball. Umpire's discretion to call the runner safe, and I believe it is reviewable as well. Avila's play probably could have been ruled either way, but I think they aren't likely to ever call it there is no collision.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Jun 11, 2014 -> 08:48 PM) Looked safe from my seats. How about it tv people Very close, but out. Avila blocked the front of the plate, so Eaton had to reach around the side, and that cost him the base. Easily safe if he slides through Avila's leg.

Damn, Avila did a nice job blocking him there.

Looked safe to me, Robin.

LOL at Hawk going nuts over De Aza's routine catch. I think Hawk thought it was going to be smoked off the wall.

That was a sweet momentum shift there. We leave the bases loaded with 1 out and don't score, and the Tigers come back immediately and score to tie it.

Alright Yogi, do it again buddy.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Jun 11, 2014 -> 08:05 PM) Looked fair from my third base seats. Anyone? Went off De Aza's foot and sent it fair down the line. In other news, bases loaded for Conor.

Montas or Wendelken like someone else said.

Leyer with a dominating start. 7 IP, 4 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 9 K Season numbers not too pretty though.

Nathaniel Stoltz @stoltz_baseball · 16m Leyer keeps rolling. Touched 96 in the third, flashing a decent slider mostly 83-84.

Has there ever been a pitcher in the MLB or the minors who has ever been a full time starting pitcher AND a position player on his days off? I know Mike Hampton and Micah Owings and Carlos Zambrano had pinch-hit before, but did anyone play full time as both a pitcher and a hitter?

QUOTE (The Ultimate Champion @ Jun 10, 2014 -> 12:08 PM) Great so let's see Hahn go ahead and trade Leury Garcia for a 2-5 WAR player that can help us in the OF, rotation, bullpen, or as a starter in the IF. Seriously, let's see him do that. Seriously. Do it. Now. Would you trade Leury Garcia for Matt Kemp?

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 10, 2014 -> 11:48 AM) Once the Hawks lost, it officially became baseball season for me. Pretty much, although I was still tuning in for every Abreu AB and Sale start. Now my full attention is back to the Sox.

QUOTE (Big Hurtin @ Jun 10, 2014 -> 03:11 PM) Speaking of Boras, and I know it's a pipe dream, but imagine a 2016 rotation of Sale Scherzer Rodon Quintana ? I want no part of Scherzer and the $30M a year he will command.

In more Far Cry 4 news, it's been announced that for PS4 users only, you can have a friend jump in and out of your campaign to help you WITHOUT them ever owning the game. Basically taking the Watchdog's online play of not owning the game even FURTHER with the 2nd person actually playing the game exactly like the person who has the disc in their PS4. Even though I will buy the game no matter what, it's cool that my friends that may not be getting the game will still be able to play. I'm sure this is going to tie in with the future PS4 update that will allow PS4 users to take over each other's games through a sharing function, without that 2nd person owning the game.

The Playstation TV thing looked cool to me, but only for the purposes of being able to use my PS4 in a second room in the house, and being able to play PS Vita games as well.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Jun 9, 2014 -> 11:04 PM) I know, I'm just saying hypothetically. What we could of got of Rios' caliber Do you mean if there was no such thing as salary, like what would the return be just purely on talent?
