MLB Random Thoughts - Week 9 [5/28 - 6/3]

[Goober]

Carlos Gomez had four hits yesterday.

 

[Slateman]

Mike "Beast Mode" Morse may be back tomorrow night

 

[NAHSTE]

Not worthy of a thread, but the Andrelton Simmons era starts tomorrow. 80 arm. 80 glove. Very excited.

 

[Villain]

Fun fact, with last night's loss the Dodgers became the last team in MLB to lose three games in a row this season.

:woah:

Also, with Kemp going back on the DL, it looks like Alex Castellanos (aquired in Furcal trade) will be recalled to fill his roster spot.

Billy Hamilton is batting .319 with 57 stolen bases for the Bakersfield Blaze.

Carlos Gomez hit an awesome home run last night.

Thanks for him, BTW. :motte:

I heard Castellanos was raking in the minors and showing a lot more than what he did in the Cardinals organization.

Beast Mode is quickly becoming the most overused phrase in sports

Furcal 6, Beltran 8, Holliday 7, Freese 5, Craig 9, Molina 2, Adams 3, Greene 4, Wainwright 1

Cards are sending out the all offense/no defense outfield tonight...Holliday in left, Beltran in center and Craig in right.

With our injury luck, one of these three will get hurt trying to track a flyball.

Playing in Albuquerque helps, a lot.

TM LG RC H 2B HR BB K
Albuquerque Pacific Coast 1.23 1.12 1.11 1.28 0.95 0.96
Memphis Pacific Coast 0.92 0.96 0.92 0.85 1.04 0.97

He went from the worst, to the best hitters ball park in the PCL.

Playing in Albuquerque helps so much that it requires 2 posts.

The pilot episode of THE ANDRELTON SIMMONS show has been postponed due to weather :crying:

The 2012 Cardinals are the real life version of Bad Luck Brian.

"Stacks line-up. Gets no-hit."

:facepalm:

Called it. This entire team just sucks.

I wouldn't be as mad if Johan wouldn't have Edwin Jackson'd this game. 5 walks and a blown missed hit to Beltran in the 6th just makes this frustrating.

Congrats to him and Mets fans though. I guess that you can say this is payback for 2006, but 2006 was payback for 2000.

Red Sox intend to trade Kevin Youkilis.

:bitch:

For the best, of course, but ouch.

 

[NAHSTE]

Hmm, not sure how much value Youk has but we will find out soon enough I guess.
