MLB Random Thoughts - Week 14 [7/2 - 7/8]

[Rudi]

Reds now tied with the White Sox for most Complete Games thrown this year with 6.

4th best team ERA in the big leagues as well.

[Stevie]

2 homeruns so far this afternoon ----->

[Goober]

The Brewers' Arizona affiliate in the instructional leagues scored 17 runs in the first inning. 17!

Micah Owings is giving up pitching and headed to AAA to become a full time hitter. He plans to play 1B, LF, and DH for the Padres AAA affiliate.

For his career he's got a .283/.310/.502 line with 9 HR's in 213 PA's. The D'Backs & Reds used him pretty frequently as a PH. He's hitting .444 in AAA this year, in PH & DH duty while rehabbing an arm injury.

Reported that Longoria is out until at least August. It is time for this organization to make a move. It doesn't need to be a blockbuster or a massive shift from the personnel acquisition philosophy the team currently has, but, the situation needs to be closely monitored over the next few weeks and if the playoffs are within striking distance, they need to make a move.

Justin Verlander has five

Which means that the other 4 starters can't manage to throw one CG amongst them ...

[Slateman]

Is anyone watching the Cubs/Mets game? How in the hell is it the 9th inning after barely two hours of play!?!

[RyanLeaf16]

Rays just scored 3 off of Chris Perez to take a 1 run lead in the 9th.

1) Will Rhymes solo homerun
2) Elliot Johnson single
3) Carlos Pena TRIPLE
4) Ben Zobrist single

4 straight hits from the Rays to save a possible split in the series.

[Goober]

Chris Perez is such filthy dog shit. LOL. This is what happens when you can't strike anyone out.

Mike Matheny sucks at managing a bullpen.

Luckily the Marlins have Heath Bell in their bullpen.

I can live with a 2.5-game deficit going into the All-Star break. Get a pitcher for the rotation and pen and we're golden.

He was a tremendous hitter at Ga Tech and Tulane, I was always bummed the D'backs chose to make him a pitcher.

[FUSE]

Who would of thought that the A's would be sitting at 43-43 heading into the All-star break. 8 games back of Texas for divison and 2.5 games back of the wildcard.

[NAHSTE]

Oh yeah, I was at the beach all day, but I suppose a sweep of the Phils and the Nats losing heading into the break requires one of these ...

:niggasinpar is:



Only four games back ...

[Goober]

You need to check the injury report before you celebrate too much...
