Balta1701 Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 Man, every one of Pujols's home runs is barely clearing the fence. I would like to thank MLB for putting this online. And that was not a home run by Pujols. That was caught by the fan on the reachover. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BearSox Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 Fielder is one of my favorite players to watch. I love a batter who goes up to bat every single time with the intent to not necessarily hit home runs, but just f***ing tear the cover off the ball. Also, for someone with such a long and max effort swing, he doesn't K an enormous amount of time, only around 120-130 times a year, which is pretty good for today when you consider how high the K-rate is for other power hitters around the league.

BearSox Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 I hate stupid people. I had this argument yesterday on a different forum with this person who thought not only Carlos Pena was a deserving all-star, but more deserving than PK, Jermaine Dye, Adam Lind, Juan Rivera, and Miguel Cabrera. His main argument was Pena was more deserving because of his OBP and that he is a gold glove defender. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BearSox Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 Yeah, cause if Paul McCartney said it.... We aren't still living in the 19 century. It ain't pretty what happens to the animals, but food is food. I ain't gonna stop eating bacon in the morning because of the way they kill and drain pigs blood, and so on. If you don't like slaughterhouses, fine. I don't care, more meat for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Half of the refined sugar on the market has bone char to make it look whiter. Mmmm. I read that Fielder's wife gave him Skinny b****, which I understand does detail slaughterhouse conditions.

BigSqwert Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 SAN FRANCISCO—Struggling Giants pitcher Barry Zito (4.54 ERA), who had shown some progress in his previous two bullpen sessions, gave up a hit on his 14th warm up pitch prior to his start last Tuesday. "You always go in there wanting to bring your best stuff, but sometimes you just don't have it," said Zito in a post-bullpen, pre-game press conference. "I kind of left one hanging there towards the end, and [pitching] Coach [Dave Righetti] got a hold of it." The hit brings Zito's career WHBSP, or Walks and Hits per Bullpen Session Pitched, to a dismal 6.91. LINK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteSoxfan1986 Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 If the Red Sox are smart they'll keep Buchholz in the rotation the rest of the season. I would much rather have him than Penny or Smoltz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would much rather have him than Penny or Smoltz. They're probably the only team in baseball that has too much quality starting pitching. Brad Penny has been pretty good from the beginning of June until the present. They didn't sign Smoltz just to ditch him after a couple bad starts (he looked much better in his last start against the Royals). And you still have Matsuzaka. But I definitely think Buchholz is a stud. Man that organization has got its s*** together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
