Nice job by Micah.

QUOTE (shipps @ Apr 6, 2015 -> 04:17 PM) The pitch tracker on mlb gameday must be waaaaayy off. There are pitches down the middle on there that are called balls. I want that live K-Zone from the ESPN brodcast yesterday during all the CSN broadcasts.

The slider is Samardzija's money pitch. If he doesn't have it, he's pretty mediocre.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 6, 2015 -> 04:10 PM) Probably the most overrated pitcher in baseball the last 3 years. He definitely was before last year. He was damn solid last year though, although I'm still not sure what Beane was thinking trading Russel for him.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Apr 6, 2015 -> 04:10 PM) Ok, I don't blame Flowers for that one. I'm pretty sure Yadi blows that one.

God damn it Flowers...

QUOTE (daa84 @ Apr 6, 2015 -> 04:04 PM) the royals are the new twins At least they don't play in a dome.

QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ Apr 6, 2015 -> 04:04 PM) Garcia is a terrible outfielder. I'm not sure how he rated out as such a speed threat...cause from what I've seen of him, he's not fast.

Nothin' you can do about that.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Apr 6, 2015 -> 04:00 PM) Jeff's offspeed stuff is not good today It wasn't good in ST either.

That's one hell of a first at bat for Micah. He didn't get on, but he made him throw 13 pitches.

Micah's got some good plate coverage.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Apr 6, 2015 -> 03:49 PM) Alex Gordon has to get called on that roll into Micah. If this isn't opening day at home that's a call that should be made every time. I've seen far worse take out slides. It's part of the game.

QUOTE (Bigsoxhurt35 @ Apr 6, 2015 -> 03:48 PM) No need to overreact. It's ok just one run. Pitch selection albeit one pitch to Salvy was bad. Free swinger. Showed in the World Series to not throw him a strike Throw him high and in and he'll try to swing every time.

Hitting Gordon really screwed up that inning for us. Turned nothing into something.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Apr 6, 2015 -> 03:45 PM) He was referring to Gordon Ok that makes way more sense.

Did Stone just say Rios was in the conversation for MVP until August? Wha?

I don't see how that's intentional. He already buzzed Hosmer.

QUOTE (Baron @ Apr 6, 2015 -> 03:39 PM) No it certainly doesnt. He did hit better back then though. Atleast that's who we thought we were getting. Tyler's got pop, that's never been his problem. He just can't hit an off-speed pitch to save his life.

QUOTE (Baron @ Apr 6, 2015 -> 03:37 PM) You mean steroids like back in Atlanta HGH doesn't help with pitch selection and plate discipline.

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Apr 6, 2015 -> 03:36 PM) Flyers needs to bat 8th. Pathetic. Catcher is going to be a black hole this year. He is batting 8th. I think you meant 9th.

QUOTE (almagest @ Apr 6, 2015 -> 03:35 PM) I don't get it - Flowers is a catcher, he knows that they're going to call for a s***ty offspeed pitch in the dirt after he just flailed wildly at a s***ty offspeed pitch in the dirt. Can he just not recognize pitches or what? He needs his magic glasses back.

Why would you not throw Flowers a breaking ball?

Avi scores if that actually gets to the wall.

Damn, I thought that was going to gap Gordon and Cain.
