Rodon's velocity looks fine, so I don't think he's hurt. But this is the second time this year where he's had absolutely nothing going into a start.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 10, 2016 -> 10:08 PM) Get Carroll up. Need to try and win this He's up.

Get Caroll up.

Rodon's getting his ass kicked.

I haven't been watching but following the game. How has Carlos pitched this poorly? No fastball command? No slider?

Alright Carlos. You got a 5 run lead. Relax and throw strikes.

QUOTE (AustinIllini @ May 10, 2016 -> 02:52 PM) That's something I just can't imagine happening unless you have a guy like Hamilton. Stealing is such a gamble at this point. That was spectacular. Pods stole 44 bases at a 83% rate in the first half, which for that many SBs, is pretty spectacular. Then his groin problems slowed him down in the second half. He only got 15 SBs out of 29 attempts after the break.

QUOTE (AustinIllini @ May 10, 2016 -> 02:46 PM) Are we talking about Avi or Lawrie? Lawrie.

QUOTE (lostfan @ May 10, 2016 -> 01:39 PM) What was the fanbase's consensus feeling heading into 2005? I don't remember, I was pretty isolated and had just moved, I didn't know about this board, social media didn't exist yet, etc. I remember being excited about picking up AJ but I never expected that team to start off the year firing on all cylinders the way they did. I thought we would be competitive with our rotation depth, especially after we signed Orlando Hernandez. But I didn't even dream of a World Series.

QUOTE (bmags @ May 10, 2016 -> 02:35 PM) You are right, we should always go by the last 2 games results to judge all actions. 30% on the year. It's getting a bit weird. I can't complain about the overall production, but putting a guy who's striking out 30% of the time in the 2 hole sounds like a bad idea.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ May 10, 2016 -> 02:23 PM) Kawhi got more MVPO votes than LeBron. Leonard is awesome but that's some dumbass s***. How? Leonard was better than LeBron this year in a lot of aspects...like shooting and defensive efficiency. He was second in WS/48 behind Curry. LeBron was 6th. LeBron's numbers look better because he's used more, but only Steph Curry did more with the ball than Leonard this year.

QUOTE (bmags @ May 10, 2016 -> 02:16 PM) Right. I would like to move Lawrie to 2nd batting order, but, I don't want to mess with where he is as long as he's hitting. If Avi is legit, maybe move him up. Not when he's striking out almost 50% of the time recently.

So why hasn't Sands been DFA'd yet?

QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ May 10, 2016 -> 01:29 PM) July 8th-10th at home right before the All-Star Break. I hope they're still playing like hot garbage then. Oh perfect.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ May 10, 2016 -> 12:43 PM) My twitter timeline is talking about Mike Trout to the Cubs because of a dumbass Julie DiCaro tweet. She said they'd be interested. The same way i'd be interested in having sex with Scarlett Johansson. Pretty sure Mike Trout is equivalent to something even better than ScarJo.

QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ May 10, 2016 -> 11:50 AM) @obxleatherman Every team who has played at Turner Field this season has won at least two games there, except the Braves. Please tell me we play the Braves this year.

QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ May 10, 2016 -> 11:05 AM) Nolasco has always had OK peripherals, but the ERA never seems to match, there's always been a big gap. He's a consistent underperformer, and I don't think it's a fluke. Nolasco is basically Javier Vazquez.

Holland got absolutely destroyed by Toronto his last time out. With Robertson and Jones probably unavailable, we're gonna need to score some runs tonight.

Need Rodon to be sharp today after last night's bullpen marathon. Would be nice to take this one because I don't trust Latos against this lineup on Wednesday. Hamels is also pitching in that one.

QUOTE (Dunt @ May 10, 2016 -> 11:02 AM) Ya, I'd be very wary of a deal for him myself, just throwing out ideas. What about Eovaldi? I think Eovaldi might be a guy Coop can make a lot better. He throws gas.

QUOTE (Middle Buffalo @ May 10, 2016 -> 07:59 AM) Based on my novice level lip reading ability, it looks like he might be doing a quick homage to Andrew Shaw. None of that was very mormon of Bryce. I think saying something homophobic is gonna get him in way more trouble than telling that umpire to f*** himself.

It's too bad that Rollins isn't better as a left handed hitter. Because he's crushed left handed pitching this year. So you can't really platoon him and Saladino.

Avi's slash line: .273/.350/.477. Please let this be the real Avi.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ May 9, 2016 -> 11:43 PM) Is a guy kicked out allowed back onto the field even on a walkoff like that? No idea.

Avila looked really good in his come back tonight. He's got a .359 OBP on the year now.
