Re: 6/8-6/14 MLB Discussion

I think it has more to do with the fact that Detroit got away with it, and now other teams see a loop hole to get guys onto the DL who simply aren't playing well. I'm sure some are legitimate, but I find it hard to believe these guys are so stressed out that they can't play otherwise everybody in a slump could be a DL candidate.

Yea...I mean he's having an outstanding season, there are no vast expectations out of Cincy, where's the stress?

================================================

Phils drop another one to the Mets. It was nice to see them get to Johan though. Hopefully we get some better pitching throughout the rest of this series.

Rollins had a solid game hitting 6th...damn we need him to get going!

If he has a social anxiety disorder the stress is simply heading out to the field every day.

He certainly wasn't placed on the DL for underperforming. Look at the season the guy is having. To me, that makes it look like he has legit problems in the noggin.

Burnett ****ing sucks.

When I heard about his performance tonight I laughed hard and said "good riddance"

The beat goes on for the Jays as they hammer the Strangers. Adam Lind and Lyle Overbay are doing wonders lately for the Jays and hey, I know Aaron Hill is struggling but he's going to smash the Jays 2B HR record easily.

With great news there comes sadness as Litsch needs TJ surgery

Don't get me wrong, I like the guy, and think he is an extremely good player. I guess I'm just perplexed because I sort of understand Grienke, Willis, and Greene's issue.

Grienke and Willis being pitchers and the center of attention; whether or not they want to be. And Greene having been traded to a place he's not familiar with.

This thing w/ Votto just came out of nowhere, as he played last yr w/o issues, and was off to a great start.

I hope him only the best, and I hope he can put this behind him and have a long succesful career.

Agreed. Hopefully he can get over this. Remember Nick Esasky? Let's not have another case like that where baseball is robbed of one of its exciting hitters way too early.

Vaguely. I was maybe 8 when he played his last game.

Wang is a horrible pitcher, I wonder how long before the Yanks stay with him. A trade might be in the works.

Who would trade for a flash in the pan like him?

This has really turned into the Boston Massacre for the Yanks and i'm enjoying it to no end

Right back into last place.

Don't worry, you guys will probably shell Greinke tomorrow and be back out of last.

Man it is hard to be patient and know that Kershaw is 21 and that he is only going to get better. But man does his control suck.
