QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 23, 2011 -> 04:42 PM) His average fastball seems down this year, but I haven't seen any stats to back that up. Just feels he not popping the mitt like he did when we first got him last year. The velocity on all his pitches are down this year. http://www.fangraphs.com/pitchfx.aspx?play...&position=P

Damnit, Reds/Cards, just like I thought. f***ing A.

Man, I am pretty sure I am going to have to watch the Cinci/STL game. This blooooooows. I was so pumped to finally see my team on TV. f***, I'll have to find a s***ty online feed I guess.

I honestly think Game 5 was the hardest of the final 4 games we had. I am more confident in Game 6 then I was for Game 5, that's for sure. At home, with all this momentum. I am not that nervous. Game 7 would be fantastic, win or lose.

QUOTE (JPN366 @ Apr 23, 2011 -> 12:13 AM) Shane Lindsay's going up to Charlotte, don't know who's place he's taking there. He is an interesting name to me. I've been following his appearances this year.

yeah, my finals are 2 weeks from now. I have 1 wednesday, 1 thursday, 1 friday. This is the hardest semester of my life. Soooo many projects and papers to write (although all of them very short). Being a T-Comm major sucks when it comes to all the projects involved. And I might fail my first class ever. Political Science. I have a 55%. Final is worth 50% of our grade, so it's really all hinges on that. But still, if this class brings my GPA below 3.0, I am going to riot.

Farmer on when the Tigers decided to move Miggy to 1B after about a week at 3B because he was too heavy. "Well they noticed the infield began to tilt"

Man, I haven't had a chance to see much of Dunn being away at school and all, but damn, he is racking up the K's. Figured that would happen, but also figured he would have more than 2 HR by now.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Apr 22, 2011 -> 07:38 PM) I think so, yeah. Man, these slow starts really must be piling up mentally on some people here.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Apr 22, 2011 -> 07:29 PM) I don't think Getz is better defensively; I think he has better hands, but is slower to react and doesn't have as good of an arm. That's not a big deal most of the time, but can be a factor when turning DPs which hurts his value because he couldn't be kept as a utility player, whereas Beckham was moved from SS because he doesn't have the necessary range to play it at the MLB level and did play 3B. I think they are pretty even defensively 2B, but I'd give a slight edge to Beckham. Their average is similar. Beckham draws more walks. Beckham has far superior power. Getz will steal more bases, but that's a pretty trivial point. And Getz is quite a bit more injury prone too. Oh, and Beckham was drafted 8th overall and is still a young player. He's going to be given every chance and then some before a 4th round pick who wasn't highly regarded. Is this seriously an argument about Getz vs. Beckham?

I am a sophomore in college, and I have to take 4 semesters of spanish before I graduate. I am dreading it. I will be taking 8 credit hours of spanish over the summer. I'm so f***ed. I took 1 semester in HS my freshman year, got a D, and was kicked out of class more often then not.

Double header tomorrow? Sure, why not. I've not nothing to do this weekend w/ everyone else at school going home for Easter.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Apr 22, 2011 -> 03:41 PM) That show went to s***. Not my question.

QUOTE (kjshoe04 @ Apr 22, 2011 -> 01:34 AM) This is what I did but I have no plans for watching season 7. You don't want to see what happens w/ Nancy now that it's all out in the open and with the police?

QUOTE (Brian @ Apr 21, 2011 -> 05:49 PM) WEEDS comes back June 27th. Don't know why I still watch the show but I do. I still watch too. But then again, I marathon'd all 6 seasons or whatever in about a month with a friend.

Oh hey Josh Phelgey. 1 HR in the 9th to push the game into extra innings, and a 2nd HR in the 11th for walk-off. 4 RBI on the night.

Jair Jurrjens is looking real nice on my fantasy team right now. Just wish I would not have listened to the "experts" and sat him in his debut start last week.

Konerko

Awesome. And I agree, it would be awesome if he could get a shot at starting now.

There ya go Wilkins! Hopefully first of many HR this year. He needs to get that batting average up, and his walk rate is not what it used to be.

QUOTE (Paint it Black @ Apr 21, 2011 -> 12:20 AM) We went through this last week in some thread and you promptly ignored me http://www.baseballprospectus.com/statisti....php?cid=138323 Carey over from season to season is a bunch of s*** and so is assuming someone sucks because he has started slow in 15 games. If Rios had 5 of those solid contact outs land for hits, his batting average would .254 right now, and this thread wouldn't even exist. 15 games to declare someone as being bad is just stupid. Has he gotten off to a bad start so far? Absolutely. Does he all the sudden suck now? Hahaha, no. Give it at least 100 games before we bury him in the dirt.

I hate when the sky falls.

Lol, what little b****es. You don't like us using our top PP line in a blow? Ok, then stop 'em.

QUOTE (flavum @ Apr 20, 2011 -> 03:38 PM) Look who got a win last night in AA.... http://web.minorleaguebaseball.com/milb/st...&pid=435042 I hope he succeeds.
