MLB Random Thoughts [5/6 - 5/12]

[NAHSTE]

So Valdespin hit a HR yesterday in a blowout (losing) effort to Pittsburgh and was watching it long enough to piss people off.

Today, in another blowout loss, Collins pinch hits and sends him up to bat. He gets plunked in the elbow and is pissed, pitching a fit in the dugout afterwards.

Everyone else essentially ignores him and the storyline of his immaturity shall continue.

The pimp job in question:

The Angels are really doing bad this year, don't they have another Mike Trout they can call up to save the season?

 

Oh, wait. They traded him to the Brewers.

Segura slugged his sixth home run of the season in the top of the first inning then tacked on a double and two singles. He also swiped his ninth base. The talented 23-year-old shortstop is now batting .352/.396/.578 in 139 plate appearances this season, and he's on pace for 29 homers and 43 steals. Those are some outrageous numbers.

Back-to-back shutouts.

indians take 2 of 3 from detroit. they beat verlander which is always a sweet feeling. they are tied with detroit for first at 20-15. They have won 5 series in a row which is something they have not done for 5 years

sadly, this is usually the point at which the team falls apart. thats been the trend since 07, but with francona and this years revamped lineup, maybe they can keep competing for the division
