2012 MLB Regular Season Running Thread

Cutch doesn't think it is a big deal. A bigger deal is them taking the first two on the road from the Cardinals.

 

Stop me if you've read this before: Dodgers are shut out.

 

Or the highest temperatures in Georgia state history.

 

Sorry, KY, I've been out. If Reynolds is going to play anywhere for the Orioles (and I think he should be playing in a good sandlot league somewhere), but if he is going into the lineup in Baltimore, I would think he should DH. He is an absolute defensive train wreck.

 

Trout didn't look like the golden child yesterday against the Jays: 0-4, two poor throws from left and he misplayed a Kelly Johnson bloop single into a triple.

The kid's a player, no question, but he ain't a hall of famer yet.

 

Oh, that happens to everyone. Harper struck out five times in a 14-inning game a few weeks ago.

 

Oh I know, but when you hang around this thread long enough you'd think Trout was as good as Jetes!

 

That's just what Manky's detractors want you to think.

 

Holy shit! One bad game! Release him now!

He's off to a good start Sunday though. Leadoff double and then scored from second on Pujols' fly ball. Admittedly, it was on an error by Rajai Davis, who dropped the ball on the transfer and then made a nonchalant throw to second, but most guys would not have scored from second on that play.

 

Question for anyone with MLB.tv: I know it dictates blackouts by IP Address, but does it also do so by billing address? That it, if I will be out of away from home for the rest of the season, would MLB.tv suffice to watch my home-team games, or will it block me merely because I have a credit card from that area?

 

When we went up to New York state last week, my blacked-out teams completely changed. So I believe it's going by IP address. Up there, I was accessing MLB.tv through my cell phone, so it was picking up my current location.

 

Orioles farm out Brian Matusz to Norfolk.

Like I said, whatever he was throwing last time out was fooling absolutely nobody.
