Swingandalongonetoleft Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 This is kind of sad and disturbing read about how things led up to Gregory Halman being murdered by his younger brother. Not sure how else to say it- that's an incredibly f***ed up family, pardon the vulgarity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cali Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 So after an hour or so rain delay the Nats bring Strasburg back after he pitched 2 innings. Do they just not even want to give him a chance to pitch in the post season? Jeez. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balta1701 Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 Johan Santana is 3-7 with an 8.27 ERA since he threw 134 pitches in his no-hitter. The Mets will shut him down for the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cali Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Stone mentioned this earlier that Jeter is 1,000 hits away from tying Rose. He's 38, and a few years ago looked like he was on a major decline, but now looks like he could play at an elite level for a few years to come. I honesty hope he can get those hits. That would be truly amazing to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalapse Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Jeter has to have complete 100% immunity from the PED policy, right? Even if he were somehow dumb/unlucky enough to test positive, that's one the commissioner sweeps under the rug without a second thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Mets will shut him down for the season. And in his first 5 starts after the no-hitter, he was 3-2 with a 3.60 ERA, averaging 6 innings a start. In the next 5 starters, he's 0-5 with an ERA of 15.63, OPSa of 1.242, and fewer than 4 innings a start. In fact, in those 5 starts, his season ERA went from 2.76 to 4.85. It wasn't the no-hitter that did it. It's simply a guy who hadn't thrown a meaningful pitch in about a year and a half coming back to pitch. The body will break down.

Exactly, I imagine he'll come back and be pretty solid next year. It would have been nice for them to let him throw a few more innings, but if it's going to hurt him, keep him the hell away from the mound.

Yup, that's exactly why. They moved the series up a day, so they can get the heck out of Dodge before the convention. There is also a kickoff party at the Trop Sunday night.

cabiness42 Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 Anybody have any idea when the last time was that a Sunday did not have a full slate of games scheduled?
