Official 2012 MLB Thread

hamilton 4 jacks and a double tonight, 1 jack last night. holy fuck. he had the same amount of total bases (maybe rbis too? not sure) as pujols has had in the last 19 games
 
Just heard some unfortunate news...carl beane, the pa announcer at fenway died today. Was just talking to him the other day, always a tremendous guy to talk to. Rip carl...
 
Holy smokes the Rockies just snapped a 5 game loosing streak. We called up three guys from the minors that we got in the Ubaldo trade and they actually showed up with some solid pitching. This Friedrich guy pitched one of the best games a Rockies pitcher as pitched all year today against the Padres. He had 4 hits, 1 earned run, 7 K's and it was his MLB debut. Not to bad for your first game in the big leagues. This past week though has been super frustrating. Either our offense will be hot and our pitching will blow or our pitching will do the job and the offense will go cold. Most frustrating thing EVER!
 
Yep. The exact thing they planned on fixing for this year, and look how it goes. They should be leading the AL East. And theyre doing it with JB hitting below 200, he did get 2 HO
 
Rockies are falling apart and the Nuggets just lost game 7. Colorado is not very happy right now. But hey, at least we got Peyton Manning.

On a side note, you know dubstep is getting big when Michael Cuddyer has Flux Pavillions I Cant Stop as his walk up song and Tulo has Levels............... awesome
 
Lawrie just threw his helmet at the ump then a fan threw a beer at the ump!!! Hahaha! Bill Miller can eat shit!
 
Watch the highlights tomorrow, 2 really bad pitches called strikes in the 9th. Lawrie is getting suspended for sure

till I die baby. but like always, off to a slow start.

J Ham is starting out hot! he has more HR this week than every player in the NL except for Kemp. I'm thinking he's got the Homerun Derby in the bag. MVP?

 
^i've always had a lot of respect for the true cubs fans and seretly want to see them win it all while my grandpa is still around
 
you should take some classes on reasoning and forming arguments when you get to college. it will come in handy
 
I wish the jays would play like this every night. Jesus Christ Arencibia has 6 RBI in this game alone!
 
Three games in a row for the Twins too!It's sad that I'm actually excited about a 3 game winning streak, but I can't really describe how excited I am. Longest one of the season so far, which really proves the extent to which we've been sucking. But we swept the tigers too. Span is back on the roster too! Road to recovery for the Twins?!?!
 
Although are record is shitty this year(as was to be expected with whats going on), this is the most fun the cubs have been to watch since 2008 when they had the best record in the NL. Once the rest of the big salaries are all gutted i.e. Soriano, and the young talent comes up like Brett Jackson and Anthony Rizzo, I think this team could start to be dangerous again. Samardzija and Garza are both having great years and will probably stay with the team for the foreseeable future too.
 
this may be true. but loyalty is loyalty. I gotta stay with my team. they are going through a ton of rebuilding though. we got a lot of new young players so im thinking in a few years we are going to be a solid team.
 
did anyone see what went down in the Tigers / Bosox game? Ump overruled a strikout call by saying the ball bounced off the dirt (was a foul tip on strike 3). Replay clearly showed it didnt hit the ground and in the rest of the inning Boston put up some runs that they would not have if the ump got the call right.

after the game Lieland spoke to the press and hinted that the umpires need to be held accountable just as everyone else is. There have been a ton of botched called this year (Jays getting some key ones) and yet the Umps dont get reprimanded. The only punishment they get right now is loss of postseason work, and thats obviously because the MLB realizes theyre not the right guys for the job. But why dont they do something about it when it happens. Maybe things happen behind the scenes but i havent seen any real action by the League, and umps keep blowing it.

heres a recap:

BOSTON -- Jim Leyland watched

Boston score three times to take the lead and then couldn't hold back

anymore. He argued with the umpires until they tossed him from the game,

then erupted in the visitor's clubhouse after it was over.

"There

shouldn't have been a second-inning rally," the Tigers manager said,

his voice rising, after the Red Sox beat Detroit 7-4 on Monday. "There

were three outs. I've been in the game a long time. ... You guys need to

write something and hold people accountable."

With two outs and a

runner on second, Boston's Mike Aviles swung at what would have been

strike three. It was ruled a foul tip by plate umpire Jeff Nelson, and

on appeal to first base ump Bill Welke the ball was determined to hit

the dirt before catcher Gerald Laird could glove it.

Replays

appeared to show a clean swing and miss by Aviles, and Laird clearly

caught the ball before it could hit the ground, meaning Aviles should

have been out.

Aviles then lined an RBI single to center. Daniel

Nava doubled him home and scored on Pedroia's single to make it 4-1

before Adrian Gonzales hit an inning-ending groundout to first base.

Aroldis Chapman is the best pitcher in baseball. He struck out all three batters he faced closing tonight. The final pitch of each at bat was 100+.mph. He has an ERA of 0.00 with 44 strike outs to 8 walks and has not been hit in 22 games.

and to JamesR: yeah he's good, but you can only say hes the best reliever. you cant say he's the best pitcher. hes only thrown 27 innings

 
oh i wasnt trying to point out any mistake, i usually just limit the quoted text so it waste so much space and thats the part i chose.

and now to not waste a post:

If the Tigers don't get a bullpen Verlander is gonna want to find a way out, and I won't blame him
 
Cargo is KILLING it right now! Hottest player in the league right now. He hit 4 HR in 4 plate appearances the other night. People dont realize this, but thats more impressive than Hamiltons 4HR earlier this month cause he didn't do it in 4 plate appearances. To put it in perspective, there has been 21 perfect games pitched in MLB history, there has been 4HR hit in 4 plate appearances 22 times. Pretty spectacular if you ask me. The most ridiculous thing though is that this didn't even make headlines!!! Thats absurd. Rocks are on a roll right now though. If they even had decent pitching than they'd be ahead of the Dodgers right now. We have the best offense in the league right now hands down.

He was the best starting pitcher during spring training. He's closing now because of injuries to other pitchers. Once he's a regular starter, look out. He can throw 105mph and can put a 101mph pitch anywhere he wants.
 
Twins won the last two games.

IT'S A WINNING STREAK!!

Sorry. Just trying to get excited about something this season.
 
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Seriously though, I'm stoked. And we swept the A's the other day.

I'm feeling so much better about our lineup at this point

we just need to sweep the Royals now and we'll be well on our way to 4th place in ALC
 
Thanks for Cuddyer Twinkies. You guys are my second fav team behind the Rox so it'd sucked to see him go but at the same it didn't. He is becoming one of my favorite players though. Seems like a really good guy.
 
hay the Rockies are my second behind the Twins!and I hated to see Cuddy go, great player and great guy for sure, you guys are lucky to have him!
