The Polaroid Random Thoughts Baseball Thread

[FairWarning]

Think you had an unlucky April?


Not as unlucky as Chase Utley.

His April BABIP was .102

All of those HR's made up for it I'm sure.

 

[Tron]

A-Rod did it. 660 HRs.

He did it pinch hitting.

At the ballpark he played his first MLB game at all of those years ago.

 

[FairWarning]

Does Willie Mays know?

One of the biggest pricks I've ever met.

 

[MrMonkey]

Ryan Howard just hit a triple LOL!

 

[Tron]

In 1941, Ted Williams hit .406

His BABIP (Batting Average Of Balls In Play) in 1941 was .378


Through 109 AB's this season, Marlins 2B Dee Gordon's BABIP is .494

Gordon is hitting .440

Ted Williams was really good, man.

And the headline says:


Dodgers acquire Wilkins from Blue Jays



I did not realize the Blue Jays had someone named Wilkins

Marlins fire manager right after game! Give the guy a break, with 2 outs in the 9th his team did avoid being no-hit for the game! Seriously IMO Redmond wasn't manager material at this time in his coaching career!

Looking around Tron, who do you see as the eventual permanent replacement?

 

[Tron]

Marlins will now be paying 3 managers at once:

Giullen
Redmond
New manager


Lol


Marlins only have -2 run differential. They'll turn it around.

*Phillies have -60 differential for some reference

Marlins only have -2 run differential. 1 They'll turn it around.

2 *Phillies have -60 differential for some reference

1 That's what I mean that better manager hopefully will do the trick!

2 That stat clears shows the Phils record should be worst than it is! Team needs to loss 100 games for management to realize team has major problems! Sandberg has made more ??? decisions than Manual ever did!

As long as the taxpayers are paying for the new ballpark and owners make millions by unloading big contracts every couple years it's a win win for everyone.

 

[Tron]

The Braves moving out of Atlanta is all kinds of lols.

 

[Saulty]

Yeah they are moving where 99% of the season ticket holders live. This is a disaster. They should have stayed at a ballpark surrounded by ghetto and no restaurants or shopping.

 

[Archie]

Braves!

 

[Mudcat]

Blue Jays


:

 

[Tron]

Cobb County residents are paying $8.67 million dollars every year for 30 years to help pay for that stadium.

And Cobb County residents were not allowed to vote on it.

Sounds like something the Marlins would do.

 

[Archie]

Wellington Castillo traded from the Cubs to the Mariners

 

[Archie]

funky cold
