Your love for Eaton is strange.

it's not even love, but anybody with a half a brain can see that eaton's been decent this year...you can't get over last year, which makes you a worse negative fan than anybody because you are like those dopes in the stands that boo a guy when he's playing well because they remember when he played like shtein.  here's the deal, you criticize when they suck, cheer when they do well...right now eaton doesn't suck, and for the #5 pitcher in the rotation...that's good enough.

looks like that hick wifebeater has calmed his trashy little skinhead ass down. looks like.

[SunMo]

im legitimately embarrassed about that homerun

[ice grillin you]

seven runs (and now 11) will do that...i dont think i ever wanna see myers in a tough situation again tho...hes got no toughness which would explain why he beats on women

[SunMo]

he was decent as a closer though, so that somewhat debunks that theory

[ice grillin you]

being a closer doesnt automatically make you tough...it might take a different mindset but theres plenty of people that have saved 20 games once in their life who arent tough

tough is being over a hundred pitches and having a guy in scoring poisition in the 8th inning of a tie game and having to get him out...or getting into a jam by hitting someone and your 2b butchering a ball to put two on with one out...then ignoring what just happend and striking out a couple couple guys to get out of it


myers is front running women beater

8 IP
117 pitches (75 strikes)
11 K's
3 BB's
6 hits
3 ER

If he could rock that every start, I'd be happy.

The three runs Myers gave up shouldn't have been all earned runs either.  I mean, how does Burrell not get an error on that lazy fly ball he butchered?

He pulled a Ricky Watters on that play.

On the other hand, how hot is this offense right now?  Good God - opposing pitchers must be pooping in their pants at the prospect of facing these fools.

[Sgt PSN]

If a pitcher gives up 3 runs in the first inning and then settles down and pitches a solid game without giving up another run, does that mean he's got some mental toughness? 

[ice grillin you]

no....i can pitch with an eight run lead...also id say he pitched more than a solid game...he pitched an excellent game

[Rome]

The Marlins had a chance to completely destroy Myers last night and let him off the hook by being undisciplined at the plate.  Uggla watched Myers walk the man in front of him on four pitches, so of course, the first pitch he sees he swings at, pops up, and thereby lets Myers compose himself a little.

It's inexcusable that a player who has reached the Major Leagues would do that, especially a guy who's as hot at the plate and talented overall as Uggla is, but that's what massive expansion has done to the level of play.   Players come to the Majors without enough seasoning to avoid making the most fundamental mistakes on the field and in the box.

second crap start in a row from hamels. what a Hoyda.

today's game is on TBS for the out-of-towners
