Damn!!!

 

[biggunsbob]

Nothing much in baseball bothers me more then a runner on third and 1 out and the batter fails to drive him in....


Maybe a pitcher having a hitter 0-2 and surrendering a hit...

 

[biggunsbob]

And giving up a 1-2 hit is third :/

 

[biggunsbob]

That helps...

 

[tigermud]

that GD abreu could yet have an outside long shot at a triple crown FFS, would really hate to see that Miggy accomplishment lessened in anyway. Hope miggy heals up 110% soon as well he seems to be scuffling again.

Alex takes yet another slobber knocker off the head...

Why would Abreu winning it diminish what Miggy did?

I sure hope Alex doesn't waste money on lottery tickets....because he's the unluckiest motherfucker I ever saw.

 

[grandy]

Eaton singles on a ground ball to center, 1 on

Ramirez hits the first pitch right to Suarez, shovels it to Kinsler for 1, down to Cabrera for 2, double play, 2 out

Abreu hits a fly ball to deep center, it will get past Jackson, double, 1 on, 2 out

Viciedo battling, pops up the 10th pitch in foul territory, Kinsler runs over for the catch, 3 out

4-4 tie after 4.5

Smyly @ 95 pitches

Why would Abreu winning it diminish what Miggy did?

I think he means because of how long it had been since someone did it. Then to have someone do it 2 years later.

I don;t feel that way, if Abreu can do it, more power to him.

I see. Yeah I don't feel that way either. Miggy is still going to be the answer to that baseball trivia question of who was the first guy to finally win the triple crown again after 45 years or whatever it was.

would make it seem slightly less monumental for Miggy if two players accomplished it within just a couple of years of each other after nobody had for many years. JMO

Uh, JDmart.

 

[grandy]

VMart grounds it to 3rd, Garcia to Abreu, 1 out

Hunter walks on 6 pitches, 1 on, 1 out

JD hits a line drive to left, Hunter rounds 2nd headed to 3rd, Viciedo drops it but throws it to catch JD between 1st and 2nd, he'll be tagged out...Hunter to 3rd, 2 out

Castellanos will get a free pass, runners at the corners, 2 out

Avila Ks on 3 pitches, 3 out

4-4 tie after 5

Danks @ 105 pitches

 

[dubbsco]

I'm just tracking on ESPN... Did Castellanos just get intentionally walked to get to Avila?? That's just sad. That might be the first and only time Nick will get an intentional walk.

Ehh I don't see it that way. I think it would speak to just how good both players were more than how easy the Triple Crown was to win. Miggy would still come first, so he'll be remembered no matter what.

Frank Robinson and Carl Yastrzemski won it in back to back seasons, but everyone remembers Yas in 67 for much the same reason.

Smyly done for the day, Al Al in

 

[tigermud]

Avila is just not getting it done at the plate this year. dude needs to get it together.
