infrared41 Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 Did anyone notice how when Joe Buck was announcing the players before the game, it was Miguel Cabrera's turn and he says, "From the Seattle Mariners, Felix Hernandez"...you gotta be kidding me.No. Also, was Buck announcing the lineups? That was a disaster too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smzimbabwe Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 It is when baseball fans voted him in as an All-Star starter. He at least owes the fans a tipping of the cap at the ballpark since the fans wanted him there.More people voted for Jeter to NOT be the AL shortstop than voted for him to start. So Jeter simply pleased the majority of fans who thought he shouldn't be there.I think any player who doesn't want to play in the All-Star game for any reason shouldn't have to, and should have no fear of punishment for not showing up.

Lights Out Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 Is anyone gonna acknowledge the latest baseball news? The Brewers are now legit NL contenders with K-Rod....Huh? His .342 BABIP is a lot worse than the average (the .270-.330 range) for closers, he's on pace for the second-worst K/9 mark of his career, and opponents are batting .260 against him so far this year (by far the worst he's been in that category). That plus his off-the-field issues would preclude him from single-handedly making any team a contender in my book. POTD: 2/4/12 3/4/12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gingerbreadmann Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 Drew Magary's line-by-line takedown of that column is spot on and definitely worth reading, though.It's articles like these that make me wish Fire Joe Morgan still existed beyond their yearly Deadspin reunion weeks.I only made it through two paragraphs of that. Magary isn't FJM, and really needs to stop trying to be. Bleh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dexter Morgan Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 He tipped his hat the other day, in Yankee Stadium, in front of the only fans he has an obligation to.Call it a hunch, but I think more than the complete seating capacity of Yankee Stadium voted him into the game.So I guess this would also mean people are mad Derek Jeter didn't tip his hat to the Arizona Diamondback fans in Chase Field. It has nothing to do with television. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who really knows about that one. And if it was too worn it definitely could've affected balls in play, but you would think it would affect the Jays as well. The Martin one is just the classic "my team gave up a huge amount of runs so I'll accuse the other team of stealing signs". And if Colon's hamstring was tight and it couldn't get lose, he shouldn't have went out there to pitch. He's already been battling injuries down there and at his age there should be no taking risks.

The turf is installed new every year in Toronto (IIRC), and why would nobody else have had issues with it all year long? If it was worn last night, it would've been worn for the past couple of weeks.

Billy B Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 The Cubs found yet another way to lose last night. Up 2-0 going into the ninth, Carlos Marmol walks the first three batter (12 balls, 1 strike.) The next batter comes up and double to right, scoring the first two runs to tie it. Then the lead run is rounding third and slips, completely wiping out. He would be dead at home by a mile but the cut off throw flies over the catcher's head and the Cubs are down 3-2. I was there and don't really remember how, but the Marlins got three more runs that inning somehow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering that they play 80+ games a year there. Also you'd think that other visiting teams would complain as well. I think this is just a case of the Yanks making excuses.
