Sarge+ 3,436 Posted June 21, 2015 I personally don't think it's fair to throw the whole team under the bus for a decision one player made on his own. It's not like Hurdle told him to lean into that pitch. He shouldn't have done it, but Max shouldn't have pitched so far inside with 2 strikes, either. He could've thrown a better pitch. You have to admit that. That pitch was pretty far inside for a guy one strike away from a perfect game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oochymp 2,393 Posted June 21, 2015 I'm just fuckin with you, sorry, I was posting from my phone so the post was rather brief. I think that's almost an instinctive reaction for some players to an inside pitch, get on base any way you can, right? Sucks to lose the perfect game like that, but I don't think anyone in the Nats' clubhouse is going to be too heartbroken over a 6-0 no-no Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Favre4Ever+ 4,476 Posted June 21, 2015 Cardinals bats are eating the Phillies alive -- especially guys like Jason Heyward. Absolutely smoking balls, lately. For this month, he is hitting .302 and the last week he is hitting .364 ... Those are the numbers I like to see! Randall Grichuk's bat is also heating up, dude sent two over the wall today.

BigBen07 285 Posted June 24, 2015 Damn it... Jays pitching really needs to be fixed, especially given days when the offense is shut down. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BigBen07 285 Posted June 25, 2015 Jays need a closer and a starter. And maybe some bullpen help as well. And they make a liar out of me by winning 1-0 today.... God this team is annoyingly inconsistent. Drives me batshit lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sarge+ 3,436 Posted June 25, 2015 Well if you can get a better starting pitcher or two, you can make the bullpen better by having them pitch less. But even still, 6th/7th inning guys can be found easily and cheaply around the deadline. Closers are pretty pricey though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It also depends on who's available and whether or not the player has an NTC. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BigBen07 285 Posted June 25, 2015 (edited) Should be. Who knows what's going on with our GM these days. Reds and Cards both need to go die in a fire. EDIT: Josh Donaldson is making a strong case for AL MVP Edited June 25, 2015 by BigBen07 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bangy 19 Posted June 28, 2015 Well the Mets are currently in a better position than I was expecting them to be. Only 3.5 games back from Washington who I was expecting to run riot and only 2 outside the WC spots. If they make a few nice moves to get bats before the trade deadline they definitely have a shot at a Wild Card spot and possibly the division if they can keep a hand on Washington.

Nats had a lot of injuries early, they've gotten healthy and caught fire lately, they may still ruin away with the division Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
