MLB 2014 season thread

No, what you are doing is trolling. That, or you really are too dense to understand the difference between the two situations.

 

I've had others tell me that it's just a message board. In other words, you don't need proof to act like there's proof.

 

Sorry to interrupt to talk about baseball...
...saw a stat that says the Braves have the second lowest ERA in MLB history at this point in a season.

Who needs Glavine/Maddux/Smoltz when you can have Santana/Harang/and,uh,well...

 

Braves starting pitchers have given up more than two runs in a game twice this season, April 10 against the Mets (4 by David Hale) and Friday night against the Reds (four by Ervin Santana).

Sure it can't possibly continue, but the number of wins the Braves have "banked" above what was expected to this point has probably turned an 85-to-90-win team into a 90-to-95-win team.

(And Mike Minor is due back next week).

 

Matt Garza to Jeff Samardzija: "I told [Samardzija], 'It doesn't matter, dude. You play in Chicago,'" Garza told reporters. "'I was there, and I lost 30 wins in three seasons. It's not your fault. You pitch your way out of there.'"

 

Tainted sample, lol.

And it must be tough to get your parents' permission to use the Commodore 64.

 

It'll happen. He's gone by the trade deadline unless he's hurt.

Things are going a lot slower than Epstein hoped when he took over. The farm system has improved, but the team is still at least two years away from being remotely decent.

 

It's still the same thing that was being said last year, that he was as good as gone.

 

Samardzija? He wasn't as good as gone last year, they were still talking about extensions. But the subtext this offseason is that he told them he's tired of it and he isn't signing for anything less than full market value.

Garza is the one who was gone last year.

 

With every purchase of $25 or more.
