From the "Why are you guys still watching baseball this season? LOL M's" division of trivia: According to baseball reference, last night's M's starter Christian "who?" Bergman put of the 2nd worst game score in Mariner's history with a -8.

That feeling of bailing off the plate only to have it whizz in for a strike is demoralizing

I liked this article about Walking Mike Trout. It reminded me of some thing I think I saw on here where if you had Ruth/Bonds/Williams/whoever in a lineup of replacement players if it'd make sense to walk them every time.

There is no reason at all to pitch to Trout The Angels aren't even fielding a person at catcher today. Graterol? Sounds like someone dropped their prescription pills at home plate and they just went with it. Longpig Bard fucked around with this message at 19:23 on May 25, 2017 |

Paul Zuvella posted:Holy poo poo Mike Trout is as charismatic as a wet napkin I love my baseballing robot. The rest of the Angels are so much worse than Trout it is insane. Everyone is underperforming their career-worst seasons by large margins. Their 4 best starting pitchers are lost to season ending injuries and their 4 best relief pitchers are also on the disabled list with no time tables for their return. They're paying Hamilton $30M dollars this year and he hasn't been on the team in 3 years and is out of baseball. They're still 25-24 on the season.

 ATTENTION: CHICAGOONS I don't want to keep clogging up the N/V thread with this stuff, so I'm just going to post it once. Once I get all the SAS Chicagoons' cell numbers, I won't need to post here to advertise anymore.  We're having another meetup this Sunday (May 28) at noon at Links Taproom in Wicker Park. We've currently got myself, Poque, Popete, Explosionface, and Joey Freshwater attending, with Pancakes tentatively attending. If you want to join us, either PM me for my cell number or just show up at Links at noon on Sunday and you'll be able to identify Poque by his giant sparkling World Series ring.

There's also a lot of Judge comps floating around on Twitter for the same reason, with a side of whining about the biased NY media for ignoring him.

Waffles Inc. posted:Is that how it works? The teams put forth players to nominate? Yeah, I am pretty sure that's how it works. In their defense, it seems like MLB solicited the ballot members really, really early, potentially before it became clear Conforto was going to be anything more than a bench player.

They definitely solicit ASG nominations before the season even begins. Andre Ethier is on the ballot despite being on the DL since spring training and currently having no timetable for return.

I knew it was really early because there are a ton of "no timetable" people in the ballots, but I didn't realize it was that early.

Its extra stupid since the whole thing is online-only now, it would be trivial to you know, adjust the ballot as the season progresses. How hard would it be to replace Ethier with Bellinger now, for example?

Before the season started no-one though Conforto was going to be an everyday player, let alone a top 5 OF in baseball. There were even some people (me included, my bad) who were calling for him to start this year at Triple A.

I mean with Pearce and now Alford both out there's still some holes to fill and not a lot of options.
