I don't watch these games with the same nervousness as I used to. They're commonplace now.

 

I think defensive positioning in baseball is better than ever. And players don't care about striking out anymore, so it makes sense there are more no-hitters recently.

There it goes.

Did he lose it?

You're welcome, says Gonzalez

Did he lose it?

Yep, single up the middle, right between his legs.

 

It looked like AJ said "what a MFer" to Yu as he came to the mound.

Well, I mean, seriously. Buehrle's was the last one before everyone just started collecting them.

AJ said, "f***"

If he was a better goaltender he'd have a perfect game

Classic A.J.

 

I have Darvish and Kershaw on my fantasy team, they gave me 138 points combined. Needless to say, I'm happy.

I hear Harrell drilled AJ during the game. Interesting.

What does this MEAN?

There's been so many perfect games lately that they are becoming less meaningful.

A perfect game now is like a 40 homer season was 10 years ago.

And now with the better ped testing, the 40 homerun season is becoming less prevalent, isnt it?

There were 6 last year, 2 each in 2011-2010, 5 in 2009, 2 in 2008, 4 in 2007.

 

For comparison, there were 16 in 2000, 12 in 2001, 8 in 2002.

Pendulum is swinging towards pitching now. im sure it will swing back unexpectedly again

The best way I've found to understand how much offense is changed is to have a fantasy draft. My mind still has to wrap itself around what a "good" fantasy season is these days. If you can get .270/15/60 out of a second baseman with 10-20 steals, he's a starter.

 

It's entertaining. Third outfielders used to be a lock for 30/100. Now that's your top outfielder on a fantasy squad.

I think you're right, but of course, the presence of PED's has to factor in somewhere as biasing these swings.

They stopped meaning anything to me in 1880 when there were 2 thrown in 6 days.

didnt a Nolan Ryan mets team have like 7 no hitters in the pitching staff one season?

The first ever no-hitter for the Mets was thrown last year by Johan, so at least it wasn't with the Mets.

The Yankees are awful. I know they're banged up. But that's because they're old as f***. Easily their worst roster since, like, 1993.

Evan Gattis of the Braves first hit in the big leagues is a homer.

 

Was a 26th round draft pick & gave up on baseball & was living in his car in the Rocky Mountains doing random jobs at a ski resort.....his dad was being interviewed as he hit the homer & was really excited. Very cool.

 

Baseball is just amazing.

Assuming they don't turn it on and get all these guys back healthy and drinking out of the fountain of youth.... what a HELL of a run. From 1996-2012 there was a legitimate chance of them winning a World Series and they did five times in that 16 year span.

 

I'm almost 30 so most of my life has been this dominant Yankee empire, I don't really know what it's like to have a s***ty Yankee team out there. It's gonna be fun.

If the Yankees were forced to play with this roster for 162 games, they may lose 90.
