2011 MLB Season Discussion: Joey Votto MVP Edition

#Elias tells us: The amazin Brewers get their fifth straight win when scoring 3 or fewer runs. They are the sixth team to do that since 1900

[archibaldcrane]

Also, what a coincidence.

According to the Brewers, this is the first time in franchise history they have allowed one run or fewer in five consecutive games.

[Akiyama]

Great series, Giants fans. Was really fun to watch, and the crowd in Atlanta, for once, looked really good for four straight games. Hope it keeps up with Arizona coming to town.

Lincecum pitching lights out tonight outside of pitching to Chipper, who can still swing the bat without hurting himself. Who knew? Minor also looked good. Braves fans who wanted Beltran and wanted to trade Minor for him.. take note.

Kimbrel's filthy.

[Cephius]

No team has ever made the playoffs while scoring less than 4 runs per game, the Giants score about 3.4

[Demosthenes11]

is it really that high? lol

[Moss]

Kimbrel has not allowed a run in his last 28 appearances, covering 28 2/3 innings. Over that span, he's given up a mere nine hits and eight walks, with a staggering 48 strikeouts.

[archibaldcrane]

And yet, Axford has a consecutive saves streak nearly twice as long.

AXFORD

[Bregor]

[Melena]

Whiteside on the 7 day DL after his epic face plant two days ago.

[Demosthenes11]

my god that is embarrassing

[Melena]

They just need to show the video of him faceplanting to little leagues around the states on why not to slide headfirst. For those who missed it, here's the link to the video.

There's a 7 day DL? Did he concuss himself?

[Melena]

Yup. 7 day dl was added this year strictly for concussions only.

[Demosthenes11]

eli faceslide

[Soa]

Phils/Nats goes into a 2+ hour rain delay 7 pitches into the game and now both teams need to use emergency starters. Way to shit the bed Washington, can't you guys do anything right down there?

[Headspace]

Tony LaRussa would've started his emergency starter if it was looking that bad.

Manage better

[Trichocyst]

Since when does a Reds fan credit Tony LaRussa with anything but being human filth?

[Akiyama]

Since they realized they had nothing else better to do this year.
