ThunderBolt Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 Carlos Santana just had an absolutely absurd, slightly crazed, interview in the Giants broadcast booth. The Giants guys are still slightly stunned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danman31 Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 Jerry Owens went 6-7 tonight. It's AAA and the PCL, but wow. On the season for Tacoma (Seattle), he's hitting .319 with 35 BB and only 39 K in 335 AB. 19/26 in SB. Go figure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan4life_2007 Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 (edited) QUOTE (SoxAce @ Aug 25, 2009 -> 03:53 PM) They are really fun to watch. My second favorite team in the MLB now (and I'm not just saying that cause I'm the GM of their team in a fantasy baseball league) I mean I love watching the young guys play. Dexter Fowler.. I have to agree. I was cheering for the Giants to win the WC strictly because I want to make sweet love to Tim Lincecum. But like you said, the Rockies are extremely fun to watch (I've only seen about 3 of their games, but I've been watching plenty of highlights on MLB.Com). They've got a really nice blend of youth (Fowler, Gonzalez, Stewart, Iannetta, Smith, Jimenez, De La Rosa, Morales, Street) and vets (Helton, Hawpe, Barmes, Spilborghs, Marquis, Cook). Offensively, they've got so many guys that can hurt you. They're deep and versatile. Their rotation, while not dominating, is pretty damn solid. Ubaldo Jimenez is on the cusp of stardom. As this article goes into detail on how good he's been - http://www.fangraphs.com/fantasy/index.php/ubaldos-an-ace. De La Rosa is another stud in the making. Marquis and Cook have lousy peripherals. But they induce a s***load of ground balls and they keep their walks to a minimum. Bullpen is solid as well led by Huston Street. I really like this team. Oh, and they're only 2 games behind the Dodgers now. Edited August 26, 2009 by Jordan4life Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThunderBolt Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 (edited) The Rockies DFA'd Matt Murton. I'd love to get him, he has a really nice skillset, and has been misused in a couple destinations. Edited August 27, 2009 by Thunderbolt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

santo=dorf Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 So I guess the Braves don't look so silly for dumping the overrated Kotchman for LaRoche. LaRoche's SLG is higher than Kotchman's OPS since the trade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smalls2598 Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 So no player named McCutchen had ever made the major leagues prior to this year. And now the Pirates have two rookies, an Andrew and a Daniel, who i don't believe are related. Kinda odd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stocking Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 (edited) Anyone remember the Metrodome Batboy tackle of the guy running on the fieldaround three years ago? You can youtube it, well I meet the other dolt who ran on the field with him. Funny character, turns out all they got was a $25 fine, banned the rest of the season, and were dropped off at home. Isnt running on the field a severe crime in Illinois? Oh and that Batboy owned him. Edited September 3, 2009 by Stocking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
