Inspector_666 posted:A woman I know thinks Josh Collmenter is practically the platonic ideal of man. Even Kris Bryant didn't sway her. Kris Bryant's alright but way overshadowed by Javy, imho. As far as actual baseball goes, I'm using the Mets & Marlins off-day to watch the Yankees and it feels nice.

Intruder posted:The Astros don't have anyone particularly handsome or particularly ugly. How boring. Did the Astros trade Dallas Keuchel while I wasn't looking or something? Grittybeard posted:I had this same problem with the Royals...I don't know Lorenzo Cain seems handsome? Then I look up Cain and his smile is doofy as hell, so I don't know.  Inspector_666 posted:WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS TO MY BOY?! LEAVE HIM ALONE. I kind of wish this discussion were in its own thread so I could yell at everyone (not you) for how wrong they are without feeling like I have to make serious contributions to make up for it.  Speaking of serious contributions, N: Matt Harvey claims to have fixed himself. quote:“Looking at video from successful starts that I’ve had in the past, we found out that my arm slot was like six inches higher [than in previous years],’’ Harvey said Sunday. “Not this past start, but the previous ones. It kind of dated back to last year when I had some issues with my rib and I couldn’t throw from my normal arm slot because of the injury.” V: I hope he's right. I had the good fortune of seeing him deal during opening week, and I want to see that version of Matt Harvey again.

Armitage posted:That second inning he just had seems to suggest that he's a long, long way off from being the Matt Harvey of old, if he's even capable of being that anymore. Harvey was adequate overall, but Conforto was the star if the show and if you haven't written him into your All-Star ballot, then we can't be friends.

bewbies posted:why in the hell are some of you even acting like batter pitcher drama that results in fistfighting isn't one of the best things in baseball? Batter-pitcher drama that results in people getting beaten up for being good at baseball is "one of the best things in baseball" in the sense that it is not literally the absolutely worst thing in baseball. The absolute worst thing in baseball is Joe West.

Tom Gorman posted:Goddammit I'm hungover as hell and I've been reading this analysis for ten minutes. That guy said that batter-pitcher drama was one of the best things in baseball. I posit that it's not LITERALLY the worst thing, therefore semantically it can considered "one of the best things". I hope that clears it up.

Asdrúbal Cabrera got thrown at (jury is out on whether or not it was intentional, but it went over his head) by the guy he hit that double-handed batflip walkoff homer off of last year, and he didn't even realize it was the same guy until after he was asked about it by the media.

NiceGuy posted:Hunter strickland is a douche and an instigator but lol if you really can't get some amount of enjoyment out of bryce harper getting smacked every once in awhile As someone who's supposed to hate the Nats, I don't want to see people intentionally hurting each other for any reason. How is this so difficult to understand? Granted, there are certain people I'd care less about if they got hurt (Papelbon, Utley, etc.), but Bryce Harper did absolutely nothing wrong and he was attacked literally just for doing his job. Even if I didn't like Bryce Harper, where would I find satisfaction in that? It's ridiculous.
