The Polaroid Random Thoughts Baseball Thread

[mcbaseball10]

Aroldis Chapman is a freaking beast. Still has not allowed an earned run this season. His stats are ridiculous and watching MLB batters face him is comical.

if you go back to last year its 34 innings. Guy could challenge Orel's record....

 

[Archie]

congrats on win #150 for Barry Zito

guy will soon be regressing to his recent years' mean right?

The Phillies are a game over .500. They're in last place. Gonna be a helluva September.

 

[Archie]

MLB draft tomorrow....

kinda feel bad for the first rounders as they will now get no where near the money they woulda have if they'd been born a year earlier

 

[Tron]

Couple of shitty teams in 1st place in their division: White Sox, Nationals and Marlins.

 

[FairWarning]

GO White Sox, purely financial.

 

[Archie]

Marlins sucked it up tonight dummy


this baseball draft signing period will be pretty interesting to watch. Boras already focked over one client

 

[Tron]

Yep. Fish got mercy ruled +1.

I'm such a fucking bozo.

Phils buried me today.....

world series contender Pittsburgh Pirates finally get to this guy!

It's weird. I'd like the Blue Jays to do well but I can't figure out how to approach it.

Baltimore is playing Boston. Baltimore is ahead in the standings and Boston is behind. So for the Blue Jays to move up I obviously want Boston.

But am I really going to cheer for Boston over Baltimore?

I'm not feeling that. :down:

 

[Archie]

too early for scoreboard watching Muddy,

except for shitty teams like the Pirates because the last two years have provided the only scoreboard and standing watching us fans have been able to do since Sid Bream's bum legs carried him home in 92

but I'd root for Balty, because they aren't gonna last the summer at this pace

Andrew Bailey and Ryan Sweeney to Boston for Josh reddick and prospects. Good trade for Boston, not sure what the A's are going other than trading there whole team.

trade has turned out great for the A's

Reddick a 25 year old stud and Head is leading the California League in just about every offensive stat.

They traded all their marketable prospects in the minors! I would just ride it out with what they have but who knows?

 

[FairWarning]

Pittsburgh one game out of first.

yeah I was kinda wondering if they could get to the point where they trade to RECEIVE some prospects.

its a sellers market this year.
