Dusty Baker will lead the Nationals to their best season of all time despite not knowing anyone's names.

...who is a reliever and so sadly not on the Pitcherlist site.

FanGraphs has written a few articles about Capps, though, and they include a handful of gifs every time: http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/carter-capps-has-become-baseballs-most-unhittable-pitcher/

His FIP was lower than his ERA and his ERA was 1.16. Pretty hosed up if you ask me.

By the way, that is a massive bat Bonds uses. It's gotta be at least a 34", I wonder the weight.

Even as an old man he's swinging a tree trunk.

He's just giving himself a handicap while playing against these kids.

The Miami Marlins are gonna have Bonds coming off the bench if this keeps up.

Unsurprisingly, the cyberpunks can't comprehend why a father loves his son because they can't triangulate the amount of WOBAUZR+- ●Start that he adds to their spreadsheets.

Unless it's a misquote, Adam Eaton is mourning the loss of Drake LaRoche's clubhouse leadership. Not Adam LaRoche's. Drake's.

Drake LaRoche was the the gritty veteran glue holding the clubhouse together. Just another thing you can't learn in school.

What ever happened to Dom Brown? Did he just run into the ball a lot in '13 and then regress?

Did they hire him for entertainment, or in the hopes of finding David Ross' value?

That is so lame. I remember Khris Davis talking about how he had to have the finish changed on his bats because MLB said the finish on his original bats was too bright. Who is complaining about this poo poo? What problems is it causing?

Probably pitchers because it obviously helped them hit a dinger. Truly the sport's biggest enemy.

The strike zone's huge, they get a free shot at disfiguring another human, they observe none of the rules, and what's the worst thing thing that happens to them? Sometimes the ump calls a balk?

Death to the pitcher.

Move all games to Colorado.

I feel like McCann hasn't been nearly the NO FUN ALLOWED enforcer SAS makes him out to be since he came to New York.

Chris Johnson was the guy who had a meltdown over people enjoying hitting home runs more so than McCann IMO
