June 8, 201015 yr QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 8, 2010 -> 06:13 PM) You racist asshole Yeah pretty much. Wasn't really watching and looked up and saw the breaking balls, didn't really even pay attention to who was up.
June 8, 201015 yr QUOTE (chw42 @ Jun 8, 2010 -> 06:09 PM) This guy's like 2005 Bobby Jenks, but a starter... Just struck out Milledge on two great curveballs. I disagree. I think he is a complete Kerry Wood clone. From that hard breaker to his fastball. And I think he'll have arm troubles just like Kerry did as well.
June 8, 201015 yr QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jun 8, 2010 -> 05:23 PM) You got played. I dunno, J4L....In my league, CC is like the 7th rated hitter in the league thus far, well ahead of Zimmerman. Categories are OBP, SBs, HRs, RBIs, Runs and Total Bases. Plus I have Longoria and Billy Butler at my other two CI positions...
June 8, 201015 yr QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 8, 2010 -> 06:27 PM) That's great that Stanton homered! I can't watch the game and that's what my friend told me, sorry got me all excited. Infield single!
June 8, 201015 yr QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 8, 2010 -> 05:25 PM) Anyone know what the over/under for this game was? 8.5 here in Vegas.
June 8, 201015 yr QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 8, 2010 -> 11:28 PM) 8.5 here in Vegas. Jeez, would have gone under.
June 8, 201015 yr QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 8, 2010 -> 05:29 PM) Jeez, would have gone under. I didn't even think about it... We've got to discuss in the future...

And I think he'll have arm troubles just like Kerry did as well. His mechanics are slightly better than Wood's. Kerry threw across his body, Strasburg is more over the top. Both do have an inverted W in their delivery though. Edited June 8, 201015 yr by chw42

But still, in a 1 for 1 it's no contest. Steals and saves are something you really shouldn't pay for. Took me a couple years to learn that.
June 8, 201015 yr Chuck Garfien cracks me up: "Stephen Strasburg just struck out 7 batters in one inning. He also clogged the hole in the BP oil spill with his mitt.:

Both do have an inverted W in their delivery though. His hard breaker looks just like Kerry's did, and I assume the pressure put on the elbow is the same as well. I foresee a Dr Andrews visit in his future.

Steals and saves are something you really shouldn't pay for. Took me a couple years to learn that. Well, traditionally I stack my roster with all-around players like Braun, Kemp, Zobrist, Utley, Markakis, etc, that do everything...that way you don't have to worry about stolen bases...but Crawford was too much to resist this year, with his RBI production, his run scoring, and his stolen bases... I'll trade him after this season for a more all-around OF.

June 8, 201015 yr QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jun 9, 2010 -> 12:41 AM) We missed out on two months of this guy for service time bulls***. No kidding!
June 8, 201015 yr QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jun 9, 2010 -> 12:43 AM) God damn he's slow. That wasn't even close. He's no J. Ely!
June 8, 201015 yr Author So the NL east has either added or will soon add Heyward, Strasburg, Stanton and Harper.
June 8, 201015 yr QUOTE (lostfan @ Jun 8, 2010 -> 06:44 PM) Has he thrown a change yet? I haven't noticed. He's had a couple pitches down and away at 90-91, but I'm not sure if that's his two-seamer or a change.
June 8, 201015 yr QUOTE (danman31 @ Jun 8, 2010 -> 06:36 PM) That's what I thought, but his curve is more of a slurve than Jenks' was when he first came up. He has two curves, the power curve, which is what Bobby throws, and a 12-6. He also has a slurve too. Edited June 8, 201015 yr by chw42
