QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 10, 2012 -> 08:57 PM) Maybe it's me, but McCarthy hasn't been very sharp tonight. I wouldn't expect him to be. He hasn't pitched in two months.

Rios had some cookies to hit in that AB.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 10, 2012 -> 08:53 PM) Wow, how the hell did he get that good of a jump on that? Good to see Dunn hitting the ball hard to LF though.

I thought that ball went behind the pole.

Decent start by Gavin.

Cliff Pennington almost hit a HR...

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 10, 2012 -> 08:47 PM) I'm not going to be happy if it's Morel who gets the call over Johnson (or Wise or Jackson). I really want to see what Conor Jackson can do again.

Way to find your curveball 90 pitches into the game Gavin.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 10, 2012 -> 08:45 PM) Well, it is the same league where Dan Johnson has an OPS over .900 Dan Johnson's actually shown some power in the ML though.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 10, 2012 -> 08:42 PM) It's such a weak swing though. Seems very prone to popping it up to center due to very little torque on his swing. You wonder how he hit for all that power in AAA this year.

Screw the Multi-View.

Nice job of taking there Gordon.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Aug 10, 2012 -> 07:18 PM) They weren't that close, and the next time Floyd wants to pay attention to a runner on third will be the first time Two were clear strikes on MLB Gameday.

lol @ Hawk trying to say the A's play small ball now because Oakland didn't win with their philosophy. Last time I checked, they won a lot of games from 2000-2006 based on early sabermetric principles. Other teams just caught up.

That run's on the umpire.

Three of those 4 balls were strikes. Is this HP umpire high?

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 10, 2012 -> 07:41 AM) I'll cheer for the Lakers this year. I will too. I just hate the Heat that much.

Orlando got literally nothing. Afflalo, Harrington, Vucevic, and 3 protected first round picks. All these three teams will be good, they won't even get any where close to a lottery pick. Their new GM needs to be fired on the spot. This is absolutely horrific. If they got Gasol, I'd understand. But this is just sad.

QUOTE (Jake @ Aug 9, 2012 -> 07:38 PM) Bring up Johnson for the remaining time that PK is DL'd. If he does something crazy, find a spot for him on the bench. Bring up Conor Jackson. He's at least shown that he's a quality player in the past. He has a slashline of .283/.373/.442 in Charlotte and is hitting well over the past few months.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Aug 9, 2012 -> 06:31 PM) Chris Broussard and "sources" are saying Howard to LA via Philly and Denver is VERY CLOSE Denver's coming out the best in this IMO. They get Igudola for Afflalo and Harrington. Philly finally gets a dominating big man. Orlando also gets two guys who will put them in basketball hell (not good enough to really compete for a championship, but good for a 5th or 6th seed). The Lakers sure are giving up a lot for Dwight. I thought that if they gave up one of Bynum or Gasol, they'd have an overwhelming advantage over Miami. Now that it looks like they have to give up two guys, it's not so appealing anymore IMO. Still though, Nash, Kobe, and Dwight is a pretty good Big 3.

The Twins. The Royals are coming very close to second.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 8, 2012 -> 10:03 PM) Supposedly Ventura announced in the post game that PK has a mild concussion. If they need to, Sox can put him on the 7 day concussion list. Kenny, get us another bat! How did he get a concussion?

Ugh.

Wow, Adam finally hit a ball hard.

We need Holland to start walking people.
