Saturday morning baseball. 

 

[johnnyredstorm]

champ is at the tigers game

 

[pacificnorsewst]

Nice. Haven't seen him around here in awhile.

If I heard Michael Kay right just now, first time ever that a game has its two starting RF's by the last name of Young (Chris and Delmon).

That's pretty neat considering Young is such a common last name.

I love things like this. This one is semi-interesting, but I find it crazy how people even know this or find this out. I want the software program that some of these people have to be using in order to come up with this stuff.

Jesus, that does not look good at all. 

 

Suspected to be a scar tissue tear. Same thing Andrew Bailey went through. Still, this was Parker's 2nd TJ surgery already. And to top things off for the As, Griffin left with shoulder tightness.

Awesome scene the other night when Morse got his ring and was mobbed by the Giants players.

 

[pacificnorsewst]

Canseco. 

Everytime I think of him I think of TMNT. 

Well, then I started thinking about when I could use that GIF and thought of Ryan Braun. 

Why does he use such a big *** bat? 

* You've just gone Inside the mind of pacificnorsewst*

 

[johnnyredstorm]

maybe that's why braun sucks these days

sup, my bat's too big

 

[pacificnorsewst]

Torii again. 

 

[jewbacca2]

Speaking of Braun, dude has the most ridiculous batting rounds I've ever seen.

He sprays long line drive homers all over the field :x

Aaron Gleeman ‏@AaronGleeman 3m
In the past 14 innings Torii Hunter raised his AVG from .252 to .300 and his OPS from .679 to .839. Hits in seven straight at-bats vs. CLE.

Twins are fun to watch right now. They took the offensive torch from Houston.

The Monstars took our powers

heard that his only extra base hits this year have been homeruns :x

 

[pacificnorsewst]

I don't like Braun for no reason other than he looks goofy and like a douche. And because he's friends with Aaron Rodgers.

It's cause he's Jewish, isn't it?

 

[pacificnorsewst]

Didn't even know that. Definitely doesn't help his cause.

Just playin'

Joc Pederson leads hitters in average batted ball velocity at 98.54 mph. He also leads hitters in average batted ball distance at 237.06 ft.

http://baseballsavant.com/apps/hit_leader.php?game_date=&abs=25&sort=2,1 (disclaimer, some ballparks dont have this data available)

45.1% of his balls in play are hit hard. Although Pederson has a 33.3 K%, he possesses a .341 BABIP which is impressive. Seems to me he's more than just a HR, K, BB guy.

.368 ISO :x that'll come down but still impressive.
