LittleHurt05 Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 (edited) QUOTE (Leonard Zelig @ May 11, 2013 -> 01:25 AM) Holliday & Beltran were not cheap. Holliday was not. But Beltran was 2 years, $26 million, that's nothing for a FA. If it doesn't work out, it's easy to drop him. Deals like that is what they seem to excel at, same thing with when they signed Berkman. They do spend in free agency, I meant that they don't overspend on guys. (Other than Holliday maybe.) Edited May 11, 2013 by LittleHurt05 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noonskadoodle Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 Man Patrick Corbin & Wade Miley are studs for the DBacks. That team is severely overlooked, but they can really do it all. Not to mention they have some key guys out as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zenryan Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 A lot of firsts in MLB by Alex Cobb last night. From Stark's espn article We can end the competition for Box Score Line of the Year right now. Let's just hand it to Alex Cobb, who spun off this line for the ages in the Rays' 6-3 win over San Diego on Friday: 4 2/3 IP, 5 H, 3 R, 3 ER, 2 BB, 13 K, 1 WP, 1 HBP, 1 balk Want to attempt to digest that? Great. Let's do it. • 13 strikeouts, 14 outs? The Elias Sports Bureau tells us that's never been done, in any game ever played. And there's a good reason for that: It's almost impossible. The fewest innings anyone had ever pitched before this in a 13-strikeout game was five, by Zack Greinke last Sept. 25. And this gem • Of course, to be technical, Cobb did get two outs that weren't whiffs, since one of his strikeout victims reached base on a wild pitch -- as part of one of the craziest innings in baseball history. Ready for the wacky details? The third inning of this game went: Strikeout/wild pitch, steal of second, strikeout, steal of third, strikeout, run-scoring balk, strikeout. Got that? According to Elias, it was the first inning ever played in the history of baseball in which a pitcher struck out every hitter he faced and still gave up a run. Try that on your Xbox 360 some time. • But wait. Let's think this through another way. As a bunch of our loyal Tweeters put it, this guy just had an inning with no hits, no walks, no hit batters and four strikeouts and he still gave up an earned run! I asked Retrosheet founder Dave Smith to run that feat through his hard drive Saturday. His verdict, after checking every game since 1951: No pitcher in the Retrosheet files had ever pulled that off. The only other four-strikeout innings that produced an earned run all featured at least one hit. Gotta love baseball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getting to face the pitcher should help him a lot as well. Yeah...if he's got a problem, it's that he'll lose his focus and his control mid-inning and it winds up with a big inning. If 1/3 of those get shut down because he hits an 8th or 9th hitter who is useless...that could prevent the big inning and let him start fresh and focused the next time out.

So one run earned, and he'll probably come away with a no decision. And his team will lose. Jays won..wow. Edited May 11, 2013 by flavum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
