2009 MLB season discussion*

You guys remember that manager of a Braves team (I think) in the minors that completely flipped out? Doing the whole crawling up the mound, tossing the rosin bag, etc. I laughed so hard.

[Rhinox]

yeah lol

LOL <3

Fucking end this shit already man. God damn it. Dusty used 3 relievers in the 6th through 8th. Now he's on to starting pitchers and we're in the 15th.

Next few days are going to fucking suck.

[archibaldcrane]

Back spasms? Headspace, wtf. I trusted you!

[Headspace]

Yeah I found that out. I thought Dusty went nuts and pulled him after 5.2.

But yeah, I thought he was back to his old self, but he's still not there.

[Headspace]

Also, the inconsistencies to recognize the strike zone by the umpires is why it's 3am and I'm still fucking awake watching the game through gamecast that isn't reloading itself.

I support cyborg skynet umpires.

edit: Fucking A.

The Rays listed two third basemen on their lineup card on Sunday, causing them to lose their designated hitter.

The plan was for Evan Longoria to DH and bat third on Sunday, but he was listed at third, along with Ben Zobrist. Since he didn't take a position in the top of the first, the Rays have now had to go to starting pitcher Andy Sonnanstine as their No. 3 hitter.

Pro managing.

[Akiyama]

Rofl. Holy crap wow. Talk about a big screw up.

[Headspace]

Aw, an AL team has to use a batter. Woe is them.

Man up homos, real pitchers bat.

I've heard it discussed in a few places that the DH should be eliminated. I kinda agree at this point, just because the NL can be a lot more exciting when you have the pitchers spot coming up. It makes the bench more important, and managers actually earn their pay. Plus I'd get to see David Ortiz be out of a job :D

There's a lot more strategy involved when pitchers bat. Do you bunt if there's a man on, or pinch hit if it's in the mid innings.

Or you could be Dusty Baker and pinch hit with a hitter. It's all good.

[Cephius]

Hahaha, oh Dusty. One of my favorite FJM articles is about him. FIRE JOE MORGAN: There's a War Brewing

[fren.]

Rofl. Holy crap wow. Talk about a big screw up.

...and he gets a fucking RBI double.

Anyone see that play by Tex with the bases loaded? I wish I had child bearing hips.

[Akiyama]

I can't believe the pitcher got an RBI Double. Just amazing.

Yeah, I saw Tex's play. Watching it on TBS HD and man.. what a good game. You see that sliding catch by Punto?

Holy shit, what a play by Joe Mauer.

[Cephius]

DAMN that was close. So many things happened on that play. Wierd rebound off the leg, pump fake, then a diving sliding play... crazy. Won't see something like that again for a long time...

EDIT: Johnny Damon for MVP! 3rd straight walk-off win for the Yanks.
