I haven't tuned into Chicago sports talk radio since the end of the football season, but I sure as hell will when there is any slight chink in his armor. The making GBS threads all over everything will be classic, because that's what Chicago fans do.

He's 146th in MLB (if fg is to be believed) in seeing fastballs and is hitting ~.280 so he's doing ok. e: beaten angrygodofjebus fucked around with this message at 03:19 on Jun 28, 2014 |

Gorman Thomas posted:Hahaha I didn't expect Dipoto to pull the trigger that fast. They're polar opposites too, in that Frieri is a cool dude irl by all accounts and Grilli seems like an idiot. Yeah, Grilli is the kind of guy who I can imagine starting poo poo over being demoted from being the ~*~Closer~*~. Plus, I'd rather have a young bad pitcher with 2 years of control left than an old bad pitcher with 0. Does Frieri have options left?

 How are infield flies scored? Just F6 or F4? They don't actually need to record the putout, right? They could just let it fall to the ground. It's not ever "in play," so is it like a sacrifice or what? As an aside, this is the first baseball game with a DH I've ever scored, and holy poo poo my card has never looked cleaner. Second Aside: I honestly believe if Rodney had blown the save Cano would have tried to get out in another way, possibly by runner's interference or something. He was getting creative towards the end. Third Aside: lol soft-hitting contact player DH'ing leadoff. He hit the game's only homerun anyway. Shrecknet fucked around with this message at 08:06 on Jun 28, 2014 |

Seriously, watch this rundown. I'm not sure how he didn't run out of the baseline but who cares, it's awesome http://m.mlb.com/video/topic/11493214/v34110303/must-c-curious-harrison-evades-tag-in-rundown And does anyone have the audio of Nelson Cruz's go ahead grand slam from Hawk's call? I really want to hear that silence. Really badly.

I remember when Trout's ceiling was Tim Raine's and I was completely stoked for that possibility. Now his floor is like Young Barry and his ceiling is, well, Mike Trout.
