Interesting stat

2013 Houston Astros: 239 Plate Appearances 82 Strikeouts
1992-1996 Tony Gwynn: 2653 Plate Appearances 83 Strikeouts

wow

Though is that more a Tony Gwynn thing or a 2013 baseball thing?

Most likely in the minors although the Jays did something truly respectful

I hope him the best there and when he comes back up to the show, he'll be humble and do his job

Homer Bailey: second (!) career no-hitter. This one against the SF Giants!

I was watching the 9th inning on MLB-dot-com. Really, I sometimes forget to marvel at how amazing modern technology is to bring this kinda stuff almost everywhere with an internet connection.

Oh, yeah... back to work.

Liked this tweet: Ironic that San Francisco's two biggest problems this week are Homer and BART.

That's a funny one. Unfortunately for me the Giants are my favourite team

Seems that the people who bitch about long, drawn-out MLB games DON'T LIKE BASEBALL IN THE FIRST GODDAMN PLACE! http://www.sportsonearth.com/article/54346286/ Yes, "leave it alone."

^ well I think if you compare a yanks and bo sox game to any other it is drawn out but I think tradition is better than none at all. Time is less of my worry compared to being at the park. Other sports are constricted by a time factor compared to baseball (and softball) are by amount of frames and in the end people can love the difference

My Twitter feed go BOOM!

Ryan Braun: out for the season. Copped a plea, apparently, with the MLB goon squad.

The MLBPA is pretty much dead. Where have you gone Marvin Miller?

kuro808 · « **Reply #1931 on:** July 23, 2013, 01:04:30 AM »

^ Not like the Brew crew was making noise maybe except for Segura

I wonder what other names are going to put out and A-Rod better stay injured for the time being

Just tired of the witch hunts, the public lynchings. Make it stop. Please...

My man Joe Sheehan on the Braun suspension and the end of days: http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/mlb/news/20130723/ryan-braun-suspended-joe-sheehan/

I'm a paid subscriber to his newsletter. So should we all.

platypus · « **Reply #1934 on:** July 25, 2013, 12:35:33 PM »

A 60+ game suspension is just a slap on the wrist for Braun. But it's better than nothing, and it puts pressure on the other players who were on the Biogenesis books to come clean.

My man Joe Sheehan gives Pope Bud absolute hell: http://joesheehanbaseball.blogspot.com/2013/07/xiib.html

I guess Joe won't be making any more appearances on MLB Network any time soon.
