The 2012 MLB Random Thoughts Thread

Trout is a monster....but that .420+ BABIP is a mirage. With his speed/contact .340 isn't crazy....but he'll come down to earth, or at least closer to earth because he'll still be awesome.

*just traded him for Desmond Jennings and Yoenis Cespedes*



...and that Puppet Ron gif has me crying

Cardinals been playing like complete ass lately.

Word?

Ya'll get swept by the Mariners at home? And Felix didn't even throw?

Sounds about right.

Friedrich
Jennings
Francis
Brothers


...Cook? Probably too long ago to be him....

EDIT: Forgot about the great Greg Reynolds

they didnt draft ubaldo? or morales?

 

[mayhem]

they didnt draft ubaldo? or morales?

think they signed ubaldo out of DR

 

[Absolut]

thats basically the same. they signed and developed dude. still that stat is crazy putrid

 

[HHR]

I assume that meant actually drafted, not signed internationally....would be more than 5.

Nicasio/Rodgers/Chacin/Ubaldo/Morales are the bigger names...


Deduno, Escalona....and probably a handful of other middle relief guys that didn't amount to shyt

It's a terrible number for sure, but I'd still like to see it in the context of other teams

MLB Network better start ringing the bell for Mike Trout. All the dikkriding they are doing of Bryce and basically ignoring Trout is some shyt I would expect from ESPN.

Taking 2 outta 3 in the beltway series is what's up for my O's Kind of concerned with the amount of innings that the bullpen has put it. This has been the reason why the O's are busting ass right now. I hope that they dont get worn out on some or status. The starters are gonna have to pitch more innings to give the bullpen a break. Next up Red Sox coming to town.

Aroldis Chapman was arrested for driving 93 MPH last night.

The cop game him an Off-Speeding ticket

I hope to never see Henry Rodriguez close for the Nationals again


9 wild pitches in 18 innings

That fool tries to burn in a hole in the catcher's mitt.

Kinda?? Everytime Hunter and Matusz pitch I expect the pen to put in at least 4 innings. I still have hope for Matusz, but Hunter is only up there because Britton isn't healthy. I'd even take Tillman or or Johnson right now.
