  1. It's weird. When I watch Khris Davis, I feel like he doesn't really have a good feel for hitting MLB pitching; he just kind of flails at everything. But when he's not whiffing, he's getting hits, so I guess he's doing something right.
  2. The Phillies broadcast has been kind of entertaining. Jamie Moyer posed a trivia question to his announcing partner: how many father/son combos did I play with or against in my career? He actually didn't know the answer to his own question. They've been brainstorming for a couple innings and have come up with 16 so far.
  3. Tell that to the 1985 Cardinals.
  4. Am I the only one who doesn't care that Braun lied? If I was in the same situation, I would've done the same thing. He and his team saw a legitimate chance to get the drug test overturned, so they went for it and won. What's he supposed to do before and after the ruling? Say, "Yeah, I partook in PED's, but lucky for me, the procedure wasn't followed so I'm in the clear?" Of course he lied and said he didn't do anything. He would've been stupid not to. I just think it's funny that baseball fans are more pissed about him lying than about him doing PED's.
  5. To paraphrase an old friend, there are lots of little bones in there.
  6. I'm glad to see that the Phillies finally decided to go with the proper strategy when facing Garza: hit it right to him.
  7. Nobody said he was finished. He just has a serious nerve problem in his thumb that has been causing him problems. Obviously it was feeling a bit better yesterday. Perhaps the day off prior helped. I highly, highly, doubt he invented his injury to explain poor performance. If he did, he's got management and doctors in on the ruse, as well. Some days it's bad, some days it's not. Some days he can manage the pain, some days he can't. Some days it hurts and he still does well, some days it feels good and he does poorly.
  8. Managers can't challenge in the 7th inning and beyond. Regardless, this challenge system is stupid.
  9. The game feed on ESPN Gamecast is just terrible. I have to sift through all sorts of crap just to see the last play.
  10. I like how Roenicke won't challenge a call unless he's 100% certain he'll win, but in the meantime it was the 6th inning. In the 7th and after, managers can't challenge anymore. Might as well go for it in the 6th.
  11. The gold unis are great.

  13. Favre never had an issue with the nerves in his thumb. He sprained his thumb in 1999 and broke it in 2003. Both were obviously serious problems for an athlete, but are also very fixable with or without surgery (depending on severity).
  14. According to BrooksBaseball.net, Henderson's fastball averaged 94.1 mph on April 1 with a max of 95.3. On April 5, it averaged 92.7 with a max of 93.6.
  15. That's the brilliance of signing K-Rod last year then trading him. They got to reset his Brewers closer clock then got something for him before it ran out and now reset it again.
  16. If the thumb is that bad that the Brewers would possibly not even want Braun on the team any more, they would have a lot of trouble trading him, especially with the PED issue stacked on top of it. If they were able to trade him, they would have to pony up a ton of his salary. http://i.imgur.com/jC2Bmg6.gif
  17. Tweet that and see how much traction it gains.
  18. Gallardo looks good to me through 1 1/3. Pitch count is a bit high, as usual, but I thought he was squeezed a bit in the first inning. Of course, as I type that, the Sawx get their second single of the inning.
