Rest of Baseball 2010

[BigEd76]

Yep.

There's another guy who was in that all or nothing class and the name escapes me....I think he played for the Orioles.

Mickey Tettleton?

Pitchers should learn to hit, but as it is that will never happen and watching Randy Johnson take hacks at the plate is such an abortion that I can understand Aaron's comment there.

it definitely makes sense, no doubt about that.  pitchers will never be effective hitters at the ml level unless they start playing like they did in high school where they pitch and then play another position in the field when they aren't on the mound.  because at least that way, they are getting to the plate every day.  but at the ml level, there's no way a pitcher will ever look comfortable at the plate when he gets 2 or 3 ab's every 5th day. 

but like i said, i like the subtle differences between the al and nl because it forces managers to employ different strategies during interleague and ws play.  to me, it makes those interleague match ups a little more interesting.

they do

most ml pitchers who played in high school also were their teams best position player

best and worst baseball promotions for 2010

Indians Recycled Cap (Indians, April 17)
Everyone supports recycling. Except maybe bitter Indians fans who suspect their small-budget team is just giving them the old hat of a player it couldn't afford to sign.

O's Ravens Rally Cap (Orioles, June 12)
What do you do when your team hasn't had a winning record since 1997? Hey! Let's give out a hat in the colors of the far more successful football team across the street!

Tim Lincecum Bobblehead (Giants, July 17)
Bad idea. This could easily -- and will be -- hollowed out into a bobblebong by many fans.

CC Sabathia Bobblehead (Brewers, Aug. 29)
Ummmmmmmm. I wonder when the Brewers are having Derek Jeter Bobblehead Night.

Manny Ramirez Action Figure (Dodgers, July 22)
With real loafing action!

Cubs White T-Shirt (Cubs, July 23)
Turn it inside-out and ... VOILA! A white flag.

[Geowhizzer]

Mariners expect Cliff Lee to be out until May

[Don Ho]

Sabathia throwing no hitter through 7 1/3.   Burrell at bat now.

[Don Ho]

No hitter broken up with 2 outs in the 8th.  Never heard of the Ray that gave it up.  CC pulled.

[ice grillin you]

[ice grillin you]

[ice grillin you]

strasburgs pro debut is today and i believe espnnews will be cutting into his halves of innings

[QB Eagles]

The Pirates gave up 13 runs in the fourth inning today, capped by a two-run homer by the D-backs starting pitcher (career BA .129).

[Sgt PSN]

just noticed that toronto is 5-1 and that their loss was on opening day.  they've also given up the least runs (18) in all of baseball right now. 

[Munson]

just noticed that toronto is 5-1 and that their loss was on opening day.  they've also given up the least runs (18) in all of baseball right now.  

ESPN had one of their many meaningless stats up this morning that showed the 4 AL playoff teams as of right now would be Toronto, Minnesota, Detroit, and Oakland



Who's pitching for the braves tonight? Down 6-0 through 4...
