Nor were the strike zones

I didn't even know Max got called back up.

I was at the Yankee game yesterday, first time I've ever seen an MLB game where the line drive hit the pitcher in the head. One of the scariest moments I've ever seen. He was just laying there like a dead body. The richochet (sp?) off of his head was unreal. Really glad to hear he was OK.

My dumb !%% left when it was 10-4, I get out from underground and it's 13-11

Well if you are going by their first couple of games....

Castro>Heyward> Posey

Just sayin'

In the grand gist of things though, it's Heyward>Castro> Posey.

Heyward and Castro are only 20

.  Castro plays one of the hardest positions on the diamond.

Crushing a HR in your debut and getting 4 rbi's> Getting 3 rbi's
Hitting a HR in your debut and getting 6 rbi's> Getting 3 rbi's

 

[birdsiview]

Can't go wrong with any of those guys but I'd take Posey over all 3 in the long run. His eye at the plate is crazy good and he has a fluid swing that almost always makes for line drives.

 

[dland24]

Id take Heyward, Posey and Starlin.....in that order.

Beautiful.

I can't stress enough how pathetic that lineup is, though. They're making Moneyball look very bankrupt.

Did he play alot of 1st base in college? Looks weird seeing him there

We need a better picture than that bro.

One picture is a close up and the other isn't. Also, doesn't a shaved head make your head look bigger?

 

[johnnyredstorm]

I know a guy that was in the Cardinals locker room in 2006 after they clinched the pennant at Shea Stadium, and he said Albert's back was covered in acne. Now he may have been bitter since he was a Mets fan, but it would be the big name the conspirators want to see uncovered.

Lets not pretend going bald at the age of 30 is a common occurrence either...

Strasburg up within the week.

Scherzer faced 24 batters in 5.2 innings, only five of whom made contact. Kevin Kouzmanoff fouled out in the first, Ryan Sweeney grounded out in the third, Kouzmanoff lined out, Jack Cust doubled in the same inning, and Landon Powellsingled in the fifth. Other than that, everyone else either walked, gothit by a pitch, or struck out. Scherzer's day ended after he plunked Mark Ellisin the sixth, before which he struck out 14 Athletics. Even moreimpressively, 11 of those strikeouts came on swings and misses,including all three batters in the second. His four walks and one HBPtopped off a mostly contactless day.

With the performance Scherzer becomes the 209th pitcher in the past30 years who has recorded at least 14 strikeouts in a game. Yet heseparates himself a bit from the pack. Of the 98 pitchers with 14strikeouts, only five have done it in six innings. None have done it infewer, meaning Scherzer has the quickest 14 strikeouts in the past 30years. In fact, no pitcher in baseball history has struck out as manyas 14 in 5.2 innings. In 1994 Kevin Appier struck out 13 in 5.2 innings. Only A.J. Burnett did it with Scherzer's wildness. He walked four and struck out 14 in six innings for the Marlins in 2005.

Braden: 109 pitches, 77 strikes, 6 K, 7 GB, 10 FB (3 IFFB), 4 LD, +.355 WPA
Halladay: 115 pitches, 72 strikes, 11 K, 8 GB, 8 FB (2 IFFB), 0 LD, +.888 WPA

Wild AJ Burnett. Only dude who could toss a no no and walk 9

 

[proshares]

So the Twins intentionally walk Tex to have A-Rod bat with the bases loaded and he hits a grand slam.
The Indians intentionally walk Tex to have A-Rod bat with the bases loaded and he hits a grad slam.

 

[messiahchild]

First place before June 1st after a 9-game losing streak in the April.

I swear baseball is such a weird sport.

Andy Pettitte takes PEDs though

 

[kiddin like jason]

Jimenez's fastball averaged nine inches of horizontal movement onMonday, six inches of vertical movement. And he's throwing 97-100 mph.
Not real.
