MLB Discussion - 4/9

[Dice-K Collector]

Didnt see one...

Yankees with an early 2-0 lead.
Phillies up 3-2 on the Braves.

Scores at 2:04 PM.

 

[MantMaris]

Eric Chavez with two doubles off the wall. Nice pick up so far.

 

[numba1yankeefan]

Russell Martin 3 run HR!

 

[Dice-K Collector]

I was just gonna post that, pretty good first start for Chavez

 

[Dice-K Collector]

Jeter with his 2933rd hit!

 

[19braves77]

Anybody want to estimate around what game Jeter get his 3000 hit ? I would like to get a ticket stub to that game.

Anybody else coming in close to 3000 hits ?

 

[braden]

Sox/Yanks games are so obnoxiously slow.

 

[ballerskrip]

Why didn't Jeter turn the double play himself? They keep blaming Cano. WRONG. With Ellsbury running, the ONLY way that gets turned is if Jeter takes it himself.....Of course no one on tv would possibly say anything bad about him

 

[19braves77]

I agree but so far I have watched two very exciting game this week: The Cards vs Giants and Rockie vs Pirates game yesterday. Larussa used just about every strategy he could muster to win that game.

100% correct. Momentum was taking him to the bag but flipped from a few feet away instead. Would have been a tough throw even if Cano had a handle on it.

Agreed 100%. Not one mention from the TV crew despite talking about that play 10 different times. Really too bad, Mr. Perfect screwed his rookie SP.

"Chooch" Ruiz with Pinch-hit HR to break that game open. Phils' PHs went 3-3 today and are on fire this year.

BTW, the team Batting Average is now .337.

Man, do I wish I could be in Baltimore for a good ol' fashioned single-admission Double header. Markakis HR to take early 1-0 lead in Game 1...

 

[shayscards79]

2 HR's today for Martin. If he keeps this up, the Yankees will have no need for Montero this year.

 

[coltsnsox07]

Boston went 1-17 w/RISP.

 

[Russ S.]

O's up early on the Rangers.
Game 1 of the doubleheader.
Britton on the Mound!

O's lead 4-0 after 2.

Homers from Markakis & Reynolds.

 

[Russ S.]

After 3 IP.
Zach Britton 0H, 1BB, 2K.....

O's up 5-0 after 3.

 

[SamHell]

Britton looks sharp. Lewis is leaving everything up.

 

[19braves77]

Who knew Sam Fuld was this worthy of a starting spot ?

 

[Russ S.]

Britton Dealing!

Probably done.

7 IP 3H 0R 2BB 2SO
91 Pitches 57 Strikes
11 Groundouts 3 Flyouts

Stellar stats for 2 MLB game.
Should get the Win if the O's keep it!
5-0 Mid 7th.

 

[Zymco]

Zach Britton has been phenomenal.
