MLB Random Thoughts [4/21-4/27]

:smh:

Oh I'm pitching against the same club who thought something was up last time? No problem, I'll just put it on my neck this time, no one will be watching

 

[Slateman]

Harper may find himself back in Williams' doghouse

I really wish they'd DL him a this point. Even if he isn't hurt, he's a train wreck at this point. And I think his knee is bothering him more than he wants to admit.

Fucking cool. Mom and Dad come to the ball game. It's Mom's birthday and she's being interviewed on TV. Chris Collabello hits a home run.

I didn't realize Jed Lowrie was such a lightning rod for criticism and deserved the honor of being thrown at in two different games by the same pitcher and team.

Add AJ Griffin to the laundry list of guys undergoing the knife for Tommy John.

[Slateman]

Bryce "Made of glass" Harper is on the DL for a sprained thumb.

[MVPete]

Cozart looks so fucking awful right now, guy should be batting 9th.

 

[EmpireWF]

Mets will be 14-11 going on their first significant road trip of the season - 9 games between Philly (2), Colorado (4) and Miami (3).

:wub: Love my fat shortstop.

 

[EmpireWF]

Collin McHugh is one of the best stories of the early season. Cool dude having this kind of big league success is awesome.

But he doesn't play good defense

But he doesn't play good defense

I'm sacrificing defense for his bat if it means we're not trotting out Pete Kozma and company every day.

But to actually respond to this "he doesn't play good defense" claim/meme, Peralta gets too much gripe for his fielding. He makes up for his lack of range by position himself in good spots and is as sure-handed as they come, but because he's fat and was bumped to LF by the Tigers for the playoffs last season, he's automatically a botch defensively.

Not to mention, most of the criticism on here about "bad" defensive shortstops comes from a fan who has the best defensive player in baseball playing SS for his team.

Roids. Hope you don't boo Braun if you go to Cardinal games because you would be a huge hypocrite.
