2013 MLB Regular Season running thread

The lefty was fine to face Fielder.

I object to the international walk to load 'em up for Fielder.

 

They went to an intentional walk when Frasor couldn't get Cabrera early on in the at-bat. I forget the count, but it was definitely a count in the hitter's favor ... something like 2-1. So it was only a sort-of intentional walk. Definitely a percentage play.

 

I know he might be dirty, but it's hard not to like Ryan Braun.

 

The Best Pitcher in Baseball. CG win, three-hitter over the Brewers.

 

And the Dodgers are the Best 18-25 Team Ever!

 

No they aren't. But you really can't disagree that Kershaw is the best pitcher in baseball.

He has had one bad start that's it. His other loss and his two no decisions are due to a lack of run support.

7.0 5h, 2r in a loss to Arizona.
7.0 3h, 1r in a loss to SF.

Kershaw has been lights out all season.

The Dodgers need to give him a blank check and have him fill in the number. Letting him walk would be the worst decision the franchise may ever make.

 

The Dodgers give everybody a blank check and let them fill in the number. Why would Kershaw be any different? They're eventually going to have the league's first $300 million payroll and finish 82-80.

The Twins Summer of Suck appears to be here, but some things, well, they tide one over until the next run:

 

It's a disgrace that Hrbek isn't in the Hall of Fame. He had 107 RBIs in 1984!

 

They gave Kent Hrbek a statue?

 

Yeah, last year. Hrbek was immensely popular there.
