Pisscubes/Molester's Official MLB Thread NOW WITH '11!

[elephants gerald]

he's not really a big-time strikeout pitcher, he just went berserk tonight. one of those nights.

shelby miller, on the other hand...if I were luke, I'd be acting all like I do with matt harvey in this thread right about now

[Natas]

that would be unbearable

[Honky Kong 64]

Go Dodgers.

[EEEOOOEEEOOOEEEOOO]

This is my favorite of a plethora of Angel-hating pieces online right now.



Hernandez' strike zone for RHP sliders. My favorite part is the little hole on the outside part of the plate. That's a ball.

[godofdeadlydeath]

Sorry, Geoff! I jinxed them. I still think they are a good team, their bullpen injuries are going to kill them, though. Their bats still look great, but obviously that won't carry them if the pitching keeps sliding. I still think they could make the playoffs.

[Natas]

I hope everyone here on twitter is following Old Hoss Radbourn ESP Geoff cause he's the best baseball feed I know of.

“@OldHossRadbourn: It's really impressive that Mad Men can make wealthy white plutocrats somehow seem vile and soulless.”

ok, the braves do kinda suck. too much inconsistency and swing and miss in the lineup. hot start a certified fluke.

Jay Mohr said that a kid in a children's hospital asked Bryce Harper to run into the fence face first for him god bless him that was fucking hilarious

[elephants gerald]

fuck the fucking cardinals for having such a perfect organization

just got to watch miller for the first time. that fastball command

I've seen gast and lynn and rosenthal...matt carpenter has impressed the hell out of me, matt adams looks scary. they just don't stop producing talent from nowhere. and I would guess that taveras and wacha are coming as soon as they get a couple of injuries over there. this is terrifying.

[caldwell.the.great]

that would be unbearable

[elephants gerald]

yeah he looked pretty bad last year...but obviously he has an extraordinary amount of ability and relievers are pretty volatile. I was expecting a bounce-back. but elbow sprains are the sort of thing that end up hanging around and then tommy john surgery is around the corner or some shit

welp, venters had tommy john surgery

[IFryKids]

Darvish vs. Verlander tonight

[Zap Rowsdower]

Don't get your hopes high for a duel. JV isn't right and the Tigers offense is way too impatient to make it interesting against Darvish.

[elephants gerald]

isn't right? I haven't watched him this season, and I know he's not throwing nearly as hard as in previous seasons, but he's not allowing any runs either...

[Zap Rowsdower]

His command has been iffy the last few starts and his velocity is noticeably down. He may have just been in a funk. I still expect Texas to win

[Zap Rowsdower]

Coming into tonight, JV's only walked in 3 runs in his career. Tonight, 2 already.

[IFryKids]

[Zap Rowsdower]

I hate being right

[elephants gerald]

bummer. I hope he's not hurt

[Zap Rowsdower]

I'd hate to think it's fatigue from all the innings he logged from last season + the postseason.

[Chad]

enjoy greatness while you have it. look how kimbrel's velo is down, he's blown 3 saves, allows homers, and his breaking ball is flat.

SPOILERSPOILER_SHOW

I'm saying this in hopes my jinx fixes Kimbrel

[Chad]

there are only 2 nowadays pitching constants

1 - felix hernandez will always be good

2 - felix hernandez will never get run support

[Chad]

justin upton's grand slam tonight was a thing of majestic beauty. perfect swing barrelling a ball perfectly. even the way he released the bat was great.

he should teach bj that, cause bj has been dog shit

[Gunther]

who could've foreseen bj upton being a shitty hitter? it's almost like he has a history of MISSING EVERY BASEBALL WITH HIS BASEBALL HITTING STICK.

maybe he'll go on a hot streak and get up to .170 by the all-star break.
