one of my favorite things is when some AAA scrub has to play mop-up and gets absolutely obliterated, then has to sit in the dugout with a shiny 81.00 ERA for a week before getting demoted

I pushed them all the way off my radar last year -- how unexpected is this?
― WilliamC, Saturday, 14 April 2018 21:21 (six years ago) link
pretty unexpected! we knew freddie can rake. we knew dansby was probably better than he'd shown so far and we knew albies was good, but neither of them quite this good already
no idea what markakis and suzuki are drinking, tho

Nine runs on just three hits! And all nine runs were scored with two outs.

What is the record for most games rained-out in a single day?
― Jersey Al (Albert R. Broccoli), Sunday, 15 April 2018 17:47 (six years ago) link
there were 6 rainouts on 9/12/08, and 8 rainouts on 4/12/97. not sure if the 8 rainout day was a record, though.
― Karl Malone, Sunday, 15 April 2018 17:55 (six years ago) link
the reds/cardinals game seems like it will start at some point, though it might not be for a few more hours.
You're my fact checkin cuz. 6 PPDs today.

Pitching in short sleeves with a game-time temperature of 34 degrees and a wild chill in the mid-20s, the lanky Sale said, "This was the most miserable I've ever been on a baseball field, by far, not even close."
tomorrow's patriots day game in boston has already been postponed; first time since '84

All these rain-outs on Jackie Robinson Day kinda bummed me out today.

Hey they played the New York game and it was 42 degrees so that was cool
― frogbs, Sunday, 15 April 2018 23:05 (six years ago) link
Sale and Kershaw were both great today. I'm fascinated by the dominance of the big four--if not for Verlander's resurgence, the gap between them and everyone else just seems to get wider and wider.
Sale/Kershaw/Scherzer/Kluber collectively this year, including the two starts today:
98 IP61 H127 K16 BB16 ER1.47 ERA

kinda arbitrary endpoint but aaron judge is the first to 60 career homers (197 games, beating mark mcgwires 202).
also i just tuned in to the LAD/SDP game and they were saying that christian villanueva was one of the fastest ever players to 9 career HRs. just after that he hit his 10th.

KJansen seems like he's lost his way. He owes his Taylor dinner for stealing that HR away from Villanueva, would've been another BS.

He hit 11 of his 31 HRs in April last year.
― Jersey Al (Albert R. Broccoli), Wednesday, 18 April 2018 19:30 (six years ago) link
That could not be worded more horribly, let's try again:
he hit 31 HRs in 2017, 11 in April.
― Jersey Al (Albert R. Broccoli), Wednesday, 18 April 2018 19:31 (six years ago) link
yea that 11 was an April record for Milwaukee
kind of assumed MLB pitching had figured him out but the fact that he's wildin' out this year so far is encouraging
mostly I just love that they play his Korean HR song whenever he bombs one
― frogbs, Wednesday, 18 April 2018 19:33 (six years ago) link
he has more HRs (7) than singles, doubles, and triples combined (5)

Brewers just won consecutive games against the Reds in which the only scoring play was a 2-run homer from Thames. That's kinda cool I guess.

Just discovered MLB Game Changer, which will switch between games on MLB.tv based on your Priority List. Players, teams, Leverage Index, active No-Hitters, even when a position player is pitching! Was watching my fantasy pitcher Sale, and while he was sitting watched both the Brewers and Braves walk off, then it switched back to Sale all while i'm fartin around doing other stuff

yeah, enjoyed that a lot last year. is there a way to get it to work on my roku yet? that was the biggest drawback for me
― k3vin k., Sunday, 22 April 2018 02:35 (six years ago) link
Definitely needs a bit of polishing, hopefully they add things like that. The issues I have are it not staying fullscreen/unmuting between changes, but it's pretty easy to work around.
