2011 MLB Season Discussion: Joey Votto MVP Edition

[Demosthenes11]

You know I can see that fan falling in Arlington spawning new rules for players not to throw balls into the stands if they're sitting in play. I mean those fences are low but come on, you gotta know better than to just reach over like that. That shit was terrible to watch though.

They waited two hours to start Phils-Braves, presumably so as not to waste Halladay. I'm on four hours of sleep and all I want to do is pass out. gdi phillies

Greinke has 7Ks through three innings.

Interesting, they said on the radio about a half hour ago while I was driving that it got postponed.

and is losing

honestly, a k/bb ratio doesnt mean dick when you your era is dick. I can throw strikes all day too

[Trichocyst]

Well this does not bode well for Halladay. Chooch looking lost behind the plate. He never seems to give up runs on balls hit with authority. They just float in, find holes, and when that's happening he usually loses. And if I'm not mistaken, Beachy owns the Phillies.

It means your ERA isn't likely to be dick for long, that's what it means.

There's a difference between throwing strikes and missing bats. Greinke's K/9 is over 12 now, that's absurd for a starter.

Phillies fans are so fun, lol. Own the Phillies? In his first year in the bigs? D: Shore.

And it's tied at 2 late in the game even though the Braves got to Halladay early.. sort of figured it'd be like this. Only game I see a big blowout happening is the Lowe matchup, because let's be honest... It's Lowe.

But yeah.. I'm sure things will be fine. Just hope the Braves can string a couple hits together when the Phillies dip into their bullpen.

[Trichocyst]

I could have sworn that Beachy had made a few starts against them, but looking at the stats I guess I was thinking of somebody else. Either way, wunderkinds usually spell trouble.

[archibaldcrane]

Sup Headspace.

Not only do you let Mark fucking Kotsay hit his 2nd home run of the season, you also let him hit a line-drive 2 RBI game-winning bases loaded single off your closer.

1st place.

Feels good man.

[Rhinox]

hasn't been a good week for Josh Hamilton ;/

Yep! gg Phillies, looking forward to game 2.

[Trichocyst]
