Underpaid.




djskillz -> RE: MLB General Information PT 4 (6/3/2015 4:12:40 PM)

Would be nice to work a trade with the Mets. They still need more offense. Unfortunately, I think Alderson would rape TR in a deal. No, I KNOW he would.

Huge night in MLB
* Liriano pitches a gem, Pirates sweep the Giants.
* The Cubs Junior Lake starts a brawl with a bat flip against the Marlins
* Buerhle pitches his second straight complete gem, both in under 2:15
* Tanaka returns and helps Yanks sweep Mariners.
* Joc Pederson homers in his fifth straight game.
* Gallo hits another as well, Hamilton goes to the DL with a pulled hammy.
* Tigers drop their 6th straight
* Kluber again outstanding for the Tribe, but still loses to the Royals.

Loved Maddon's response after the Lake stuff. "This will not happen again." He's still the best.

It still pisses me off though that pitchers can do whatever the hell they want after they strikeout someone but hitters can't do squat. [X(]




djskillz -> RE: MLB General Information PT 4 (6/4/2015 2:20:57 PM)

To me both should be able to do a little bit of celebrating. Just like the NFL should after a TD, etc. It's sports! Have some fun with it guys.




Mr. Ed -> RE: MLB General Information PT 4 (6/4/2015 3:02:09 PM)

All in the name of $$

with an up and coming winner

Astros to get rid of the hill in CF, move fences in from 436 to 409

Expect to add 3 new bars, 4 food locations and field level seating.

15 mill, ready for next year.




Mr. Ed -> RE: MLB General Information PT 4 (6/4/2015 3:04:03 PM)

Looks like Tigs are headed for 7th straight loss.

Owner will probably try to pull off another cost-heavy deal

Wish they'd keep the hill. Kinda liked that part of the park. The new bars should be cool. Ate at a pretty nice bar in the LF corner. Enjoyed it. Pretty quiet though. One of the Twins/Astros games we attended had no more than 500 people in the building when it ended.

This. The hill was a massive health hazard and lawsuit waiting to happen. Terrible.

I hate their park, but then I hate most domes. And there's is a dome 90% of the year due to the heat (just like the Marlins').

Rookie-eligible WAR leaders, AL

Awesome classic.
Never seen again .... D.B. Cooper style.

Tigs, Royales and Whities all lose one yesterday.

Athletics call up switch-pitcher Pat Venditte from Triple-A

For the first time since a single inning in 1995, and only the second time in the modern era of baseball, a major-league pitcher will throw with both arms. The Oakland Athletics reportedly recalled switch-pitching reliever Pat Venditte from Triple-A on Friday. His eventual major-league debut will be worth watching and come with much fanfare.

But this isn’t a Bill Veeck-style promotional stunt. Pitching with both the right and left arms may be a novelty, but for Venditte it’s no gimmick. He’s the real deal and worthy of the big-league promotion.

Venditte, 29, was drafted by the New York Yankees, twice. He was taken in the 45th round in 2007, didn’t sign instead opting to return to Creighton for his senior year, then taken again in the 20th round in 2008. He spent seven seasons in the Yankees’ minor-league system, then signed a minor-league deal with the Athletics this past offseason. With the Nashville Sounds, Venditte has appeared in 17 games, pitching 33 innings with a 1.36 ERA, 33 strikeouts to just 13 walks, and an opponent’s batting average of .167.

twinsfan -> RE: MLB General Information PT 4 (6/5/2015 1:14:48 PM)

I don't agree with the Pat Venditte Rule. Seems to me he's the one with the unique ability. Switch-hitting is not unique. Why should the hitter get the advantage of choosing first?

The uniqueness of his skills also required a new rule be put in place by the Professional Baseball Umpire Corporation. The rule limits the number of times a switch-pitcher, or hitter, can change sides during one at-bat. It also requires the pitcher to indicate to the umpire, batter, and runners which hand he is intending to pitch with. Once an at-bat has started he cannot switch arms until the batter is retired. It's known as the Pat Venditte Rule.

The last major-league pitcher to throw with both arms was Greg A. Harris, a journeyman pitcher who did it for just a single inning with the Montreal Expos in 1995. Before that inning it hadn’t been done since 1894 and it hasn’t been done since. Whenever Venditte makes his debut and switches his glove from one hand to the other, it will mark another interesting chapter in baseball history.




twinsfan -> RE: MLB General Information PT 4 (6/5/2015 1:15:25 PM)

I remember when Greg Harris did that and thought it was pretty cool.




SoMnFan -> RE: MLB General Information PT 4 (6/5/2015 11:39:37 PM)

Crazy one in NY tonight.
Yanks pounded the Angels all night, Scioscia opens the doors and takes all the studs out ...
And the Yanks barely hang on.
Gave up 6 in the ninth. But still won. On a good streak right now.
Arod with a four-hit night, Drew and Tex with bombs.




SoMnFan -> RE: MLB General Information PT 4 (6/6/2015 12:27:12 AM)

Stanton hit one 484 feet tonight.
The ball hasn't stopped screaming yet.
These young bucks are amazing.

Its like gopher-hunting with a bazooka. "Relax ... dude ... you got him. Pretty sure anyway". [:D]
