Ooh Tank. You swing at those awful sliders low, but you won't put a charge in to that belt high fastball away? That's your sweet spot, son.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Apr 9, 2014 -> 03:47 PM) Damn. Abreu needed to be more patient I did notice he tends to be more aggressive w/ RISP. So far it has seemed to work out though.

Damn.

Hit it hard and in the air somewhere, Jose.

Beautiful hit and run. Nice work, Semdog.

Surprised they didn't review that play, it was real close.

My god, Arenado is a stud at 3rd.

Let's go Marcus, work that walk! Load 'em up for Yogi!

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Apr 8, 2014 -> 07:04 PM) Blue mountain state being made into a movie. Fantastic. f***. Yes. I LOOOOVED that show. Completely over-the-top ridiculous fun humorous show. Thad Castle is a legend.

QUOTE (staxx @ Apr 8, 2014 -> 11:06 AM) They compared hawkins to kemp on draft day. These are extremely loose projections that you can't base a decision on Those draft day comps are always ceilings though, or at least that's how I feel.

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Apr 8, 2014 -> 10:14 PM) Yeah, while it's hard to complain about the results so far, Hawkins really needs to get that K rate closer to 25% before I get too excited. Yeah, Hawkins had 10 HR, 24 RBI in his first 27 games last season. But he was batting .200 and had 51 Ks by then too. If he gets to 10 HR by his 27th game this season, I hope to god he is hitting above .240 and has no more than like 30 Ks, which is still too many, but digestible with that much power.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 7, 2014 -> 10:27 PM) How deep was Avi's flyout in the 9th? Like 380 feet to LF and it didn't even make the warning track.

We are doing a great job of taking advantage of this thin air by just hammering the ball in to the ground. Nice job, asshats.

f***ing Tulo.....

Come on Yogi....don't let the leadoff double die on the bases....

Tank just clobbered that ball in to the gap for a double.

Jordan Lyles is a monster at the plate, apparently.

De Aza's horrible defense almost cost us 2 more runs, at least.

QUOTE (daa84 @ Apr 7, 2014 -> 07:26 PM) Were people expecting Paulino to be good? He looked like hot garbage in ST. I actually would say he's performed above my expectations thus far. Thus far being the operative phrase tnere Are you kidding? People were salivating over picking him up. I am pretty positive multiple people were saying he would be the pick up of the year. Many people look to be disappointed.

Awesome f***ing bunt Paulino, you're garbage.

To be fair, Lyles looked like a hitter up there. Great strong stance and a nice swing. I didn't even realize it was Lyles until Hawk said he was a 3-sport athlete in HS.

How the f*** did Cargo hit that out? Jesus.

QUOTE (Feeky Magee @ Apr 7, 2014 -> 07:45 PM) Eaton's been really good at getting to 3-ball counts so far, less good at taking the 4th ball Although Lyles was really given that 4th pitch strike call. That ball was up.

QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ Apr 7, 2014 -> 07:31 PM) That is seriously undervaluing De Aza alone, not even including Beckham. You don't trade for relievers generally. I would much rather trade for prospects. I don't put too much stock in to a 30-year-old platoon OF I guess.

Davidson is 0/2, BB, 2K Phegley is 1/2 Micah Johnson 1/4, 2B in Game 1
