2012 MLB Regular Season Running Thread

It was odd play for sure. Jenkins was very fortunate.

 

Trout hits leadoff homer in Texas, 29th this season.

 

And triples in the third, but thrown out at home on the contact play.

 

He'll fall apart any day now [/manky]

 

Good to see Ryan Dempster isn't waiting until the postseason to completely shit the bed this year.

 

Moddy brought this up on another thread. Andrew McCutcheon is being shut down by the Pirates after tweaking hs knee last night.

It doesn't say he's being shut down in that story. In fact, he returned to the lineup tonight.

 

Not only was he in the lineup, he was one of the Pirates' two baserunners. He stole second, then got caught trying to steal third.

 

Hahahaha. Darwin Barney tied Placido Polanco's record for consecutive scoreless innings at 2b yesterday with 141.

Tonight, he makes an error with 2 innings to go until he held the record for himself.

 

I've said it before and I'll say it again ...

No player with a name as lame as "Darwin Barney" is EVER going to win a championship.

 

If the Rays don't average a shade over 31,000 in their final three games next week, they will draw fewer fans than Houston and probably finish with the worst attendance in the majors.
