Non-Pirates Baseball Thread

I know it's a surprise, but I developed that opinion all on my own.

That makes 1 of 2 in this discussion, i'm sure.

Evan Gattis and Francisco Cervelli are apparently great pitch framers.

[MWB]

And now Cervelli is out with a broken hand after being hit by a foul ball. Coincidence? I think not. Just another example of the Man trying to keep the Yankees down.

[Rocco]

I can't wait for Cervelli's replacement to have amazing pitch framing numbers.

[MWB]

Maybe you didn't read all if your above link. Baseball Prospectus has already helped MLB out by having Chris Stewart as one of its "Frames of the Week." So maybe MLB had Cervelli injured so they could get up and coming pitch framer Stewart into the mix.

Strasburg dealing with forearm tightness

Was scheduled to pitch Saturday against the Pirates. Zach Duke could get the start.

[Idoit40fans]

Nooooooo...I was planning to go to that game.

By the way...the Braves decided to remind that Nats that despite being crap for the past week+, they are still in control of the division.

Haha

[CERV96]

I have 2 tickets for Saturday. Baseline box, right inside the foul pole, second row, only 3 seats in the row. looking just to get my money back. $40 a ticket. Hit me up if interested.

[Idoit40fans]

Left or Right field?

[CERV96]

Left. It's a 4 pm start and have a coworkers 60th bday party to attend at 6.

[Idoit40fans]

Ahhh crap 4pm.

[CERV96]

Yeah, they changed the start time. No clue why they did.

I'm still going, but those seats lose appeal in an afternoon game.

Hanrahan blew another save as well. Gave up a run on 0.2 innings. He did through a wild pitch through one of the advertisements though.

Hanrahan is also hurt again. I've noticed no one is saying the Pirates should have waited to trade him in-season.

It's really easy to seem right all the time with the use of hindsight.

kenny the kangaroo was far from pleased whenever the hanrahan trade happened. of course, we all knew he was going to be a total trainwreck and melancon and grilli would combine to give up 1 run in the first month of the season or whatever. and stolmy has been good, too.
