6/6 - 6/12 Game Discussion Thread

[TheMatrix31]

Another off-day for the Braves to start the week. I guess we need it.

This team sucks right now. Sucks BAD. To only be as far out as we are is nothing short of a miracle.

Wake UP.

And it looks like Albert Pujols has declared war on baseball. Again.

Looking at the Blue Jays I think they're going to end up around 5-10 games above .500 this year and that's assuming Brett Lawrie comes up soon and doesn't slump against MLB pitching. The hole at 3B for the Jays is just ATROCIOUS so i'm hoping he gets called up soon. It probably won't be til the next road trip as Anthopolous has this theory that highly touted rookies should be called up on the road unless there's a pressing need to bring em up.

Nice to see Jo-Jo Reyes finally getting some Ws after pitching pretty effectively this season save for his first 2-3 starts. The rotation is looking pretty good overall though Kyle Drabek is having control issues. It's something he's going to have to work on but I don't think they'll demote him. This is something where he's best served being coached up by Farrell, Walton and Hentgen. Drabek isn't wild per se it's just that his stuff has so much natural movement that it's tough to coral at times.

Anywho looking at this week's schedule I see a 4-3 record.

7-day DL. I'd guess he'll get a few starts at AAA and then come up. I'm likely to add him in my fantasy league as soon as it happens.

That does

The Reds need to only play the Cubs this year and we will be good. Sadly we cannot

LOL at the ESPN3 announcers talking about all the struggles Lee was still having tonight. Can't watch another broadcast on "The Tres" too soon!

Re: 6/6 - 6/12 Game Discussion Thread

What an amazing play by McCoy on the Jays. Saved the game right there.

Re: 6/6 - 6/12 Game Discussion Thread

Hosmer!!! Walkoffs are the best.

Re: 6/6 - 6/12 Game Discussion Thread

Hosmer sure is gonna look good in Pinstripes soon.

Seriously though, that kid is the real deal.
