MLB 2017

The pitcher wanted a new ball and was throwing the old one to his catcher to give to the ump. He just happened to throw it harder and from the stretch to keep his arm loose and not mess up his motion, there is no rule against that.

 

If time hasn't been granted the ball is in play. No matter what excuse you made up. It's still on the pitcher.

 

Also if his foot was on the rubber it's a live pitch. They aren't changing that rule.

 

I'm really not arguing that it isn't on the pitcher or manager, I'm just pointing out that there are a million arguments a manager could make when there is a loosely defined rule.

 

Is Tebow really THAT fucking dumb?

 

What a catch by Manny Machado. This poor guy's been lost in the shuffle of the Trout/Harper argument and quite honestly he's right there with both of them.

 

I love Machado, but honestly Trout's the best player in baseball right now(in my opinion) and Harper/Machado are just playing catch-up.

 

Agreed. I hate the Angels, but it will be a sad day if Mike Trout is not in a World Series while he is still in his prime.

 

I would say the same. Trout is the best, but I don't think Machado is far behind. Harper? He's kind of an enigma at this point. I think last year was a regression to his mean, with his 2014 season being an anomaly. Then again...he has all the talent in the world...who knows what he may do? That's the only thing that even keeps him in the discussion.

 

Trout is the best player in baseball. If Harper wants to be "Mr. Half Billion" he needs to prove it, because Trout has nothing to prove anymore.

The Angels do a bang-up job of hiring dudes named after fish.

 

Take that all you other fans. While your teams are talking about picking up free agents and how some rookie is going to change your team, my team is looking and changing what is important.

Yep my day at the park is now going to include a slightly less expensive beer of my choice.

 

Dallas Green, who was a MLB pitcher, manager and GM has passed away.

 

Today's best headline:

Canseco takes job as A's TV analyst, will probably say crazy things

Ya think?

 

His Twitter account reads like Reverend Jim Jones on a Vicodin drip. How many times do you think he'll call A-Rod "bitch tits" in the first month?

 

Bryce Harper doing a 505lb dead lift. He may be scary again this summer.

 

I'm enjoying all the comments telling the pro athlete that he doesn't know what he's doing.

 

The pro athlete with a highly paid sports trainer watching and filming. But hey, they watched tutorials online and KILL it at Ballys on their deadlifts. So fuck this rounded back pussy.

 

If they were going to kill him, they could've picked on the main header picture on Phillipi Sports Institute's webpage that features Harper being given IV "fluids."

 

BEES!
