MLB 2014 season thread

Wasn't that strike three?

EDIT:

Balk, so no pitch.

 

Meltdown complete.

 

Pedroyer with a sexy play in the field then singles in the top half and comes in when Papi murders an Ubaldo meatball.

And Lackey looks great.

 

Cubs have started year 0-for-16 w/RISP

 

Serious question:

Is 2014 Bartolo Colon the fattest pitcher to ever take the mound in a major league game?

 

That's wrong. It was really sold out.

The White Sox had a special promotion going: Dress Up As Empty Seat Day.

 

Does Dish really not offer the Extra Innings package? I moved last year, and switched to Dish.

I could do MLB.tv, what's people's experience with it?

I like to watch TV, while also on my laptop, so I'd prefer to have the game on the TV. I have Apple TV, so I could use that to watch it on TV, but then flipping channels during commercials and lulls in the game is a pain in the ass.

 

Baseball Reference has him listed at 285 pounds, same as C.C. Sabathia.

And this is from last season, but it's a good guide to the plump pitchers of baseball.

If the question is "fattest" pitcher, the fact that Sabathia has Colon by eight inches settles that.

They faced each other last season. It had to be the heaviest matchup in MLB history.

 

Sabathia's lost a considerable amount of weight, so I don't think he's there anymore.

As for "heaviest" matchup, surely David Wells faced Sabathia at some point ...

 

For fattest, it's Colon in a cholesterol-slowed heartbeat. The guy is not even 6 feet and he is pushing three bills. (I don't buy the 285 they list him at either.)

I might even take him in a weigh-off against Wells.

 

Big Daddy laughs and laughs.
