N: Madison Bumgarner is starting for the Giants tonight, but since they're playing in an AL stadium they're having Pablo Sandoval DH for him. V: Too bad, I'd have loved to see Bumgarner hit a grand slam in an AL stadium. Also Belt's on the DL for a concussion, again.

Also, it's kind of strange to DH Panda given that he's been so solid defensively but maybe he needs a rest or something, what do I know.

You know. The Royals are winning and that is awesome and unexpected, but after watching Billy get tagged out and third and Moose get tagged out at home few nights ago I can't help but feel like they need to work on sliding. poo poo reminds me of Jeremy Jiambi, who I never forgave for giving Jeter that iconic highlight. On a side note; I want to see what each team's success rate is on challenges because it seems like Yost is pretty good at challenges. I really don't like Yost, but he seems to rock that one aspect of managing. On a side side note; Butler crushed another home-run to the exact same spot as his previous two home-runs a Kauffman. Also his OPS+ has climbed like 10 points in the last month. This is still obviously a lovely year for him, but it leads me to wonder what was wrong with him/I hope whatever it was was fixed. alpha_destroy fucked around with this message at 04:45 on Aug 9, 2014 |

I still worry that he might be almost done. Let's hope not, because watching his chubby legs grinding out doubles has been the best thing about the Royals for a while.

FairGame posted:http://baseballsavant.com/apps/replays.php?ddlTeams=Cardinals&ddlTypes=&ddlGameDate=&ddlChallenger=TeamChallenging Amazing. They challenge the 3rd-least in MLB and they still get almost all of them wrong. Actually, the NL Central is sort of bizarre. We have the three lowest-challenge teams, but then also #1 and #6. The Cards and Reds challenge rarely and have horrible success rates, the Brewers challenge rarely but succeed a lot, then the Pirates challenge a lot and usually win. Also, in response to alpha_destroy's original question, the Royals have won more challenges than anyone but the Giants (unless I'm missing something). e: Another weird small-sample thing is that practically nobody uses challenges against the Mets or Nationals.

NL West would have missed a lot of Bonds dingers. Bob Lurie was going to sell the team as a result of not being able to build a stadium, and it looked like he was going to sell it to a group from Tampa who was going to move it there instead. But then Peter Magowan bought the team instead and they built Pac Bell / AT&T. Thank loving God. Also, the A's gave the Giants territorial rights to the South Bay in the eventuality that they wanted to build a stadium down in there, which is one of the reasons the A's stadium situation is so hosed right now.

JediGandalf posted:Can you elaborate on this? I'm just curious. Many of us forgot that the "Devil Rays" existed for a spell then the "Rays" came into being and as said before, they started to not suck. I forget some of the specifics but they did tons of poo poo like taking all the team merchandise out of some random shop after it put up a Devil Rays logo without the team's permission, kicking people out of the park if they had outside food (even having their ushers patrol the stands during the game looking for people who did), and generally having completely awful PR across the board. The first few chapters of The Extra 2% go really indepth into all of this, it's really interesting!

Quote from Joe Nathan after blowing a save today:  Pretty sure he tried to shift blame to Brad Ausmus for calling for an IBB of Bautista after Joe put the winning run on 3rd too. This after he dicked on Nick Castellanos earlier in the year. This guy's a real team player, I tell ya what. Edit: Oh my god, now he's throwing Miggy under the bus too.
