2013 MLB Regular Season running thread

Winners win. So yeah, cut him.

 

Is anybody going to seriously challenge Yu Darvish for the AL Cy Young?

How about a 61-mph bender to Josh Hamilton, followed by a 98-mph four-seamer?

Hopefully someone will post a GIF of that. Here's what his slow curve looks like to Trout:



Woof.

 

Don't most top line starters have a hook like that? I know the one Gio Gonzalez uses is absurd. That worthless bum Strasburg has one, too.

 

All you heard about was how great this guy was going to be when he finally arrived. Then he gets hurt. Then they shut him down. Now he's 1-4. All that excitement ... for this?

 

I know, right? It's awful. He'll get used to Harrisburg, I'm sure. They'll prolly send him down when they activate Zimmerman in a few days.

Bum.

 

They'd better get rid of him. That gap's not gonna close itself.

 

I wonder how many times Jack Morris started 1-4?

 

Harrisburg, shit. He'll finish the season in Hagerstown and likely won't be invited to spring training next year.

 

Do the Nats know the season has started?

 

Strasburg doesn't. He's 1-4.

 

On a more serious note, it's been funny to see the White Sox incorporate more sabermetric-type graphics into their broadcasts this year, probably at the direction or influence of new GM Rick Hahn. I'm sure Hawk Harrelson is steaming about it. He just sits there silently when they pop up.

 

That is awesome. Anything to make him shut up.
