and... he tossed out Pujoles tonight at 3rd, making that his 4th outfield assist this year, AGAINST THE ANGELS! LOL

He (Cespedes) has a lot to learn still at the plate. Without looking I wanna say his OBP was under.300 last year which frankly is unacceptable. He has taken a step back at the plate since his rookie year but he has big time power potential and obviously is very good in the field. It'll be interesting to see how he develops the next couple years. My GF (who is Cuban) loves the guy.

This just in: the Detroit Tigers pretty much suck right now.

I didn't realize just how bad they've been... 6-16 in their last 22 to let everyone in the division back in it. Yikes.

They're still the most talented team in the division and I can't see anyone else winning it by the end of the season.

theyre playing .500 ball with the best rotation in baseball, and a lineup full of under achieving allstars

And don't say the Yankees new guy because hitters will figure him out as the season goes on.

I haven't been paying close attention but honestly, outside of W-L record, who is having the best year?

OK

So I was wrong about Tanaka

Yeah, he just keeps dominating.

I still think it has to be Felix at the front right now. Sale is probably closest, but he has a bit of ground to make up because of the missed starts.

Hes really fun to watch pitch, the way he pitches / sets up hitters. I watched a couple of his starts last year in the WBC and knew hed be good.

Sale vs Max was fun to watch yesterday too.

I'm still reserving judgment on Tanaka until clubs have faced him 2-3 times. The Cubs got dominated by him the first time they faced him, and actually beat him the second.

BigRedLedbetter · Post by **BigRedLedbetter** » Fri June 13, 2014 5:00 pm

Yeah we won't see how good Tanaka really is until after like 40-45 starts. He's no Yu Darvish that is for sure.

Even that's too early to tell. Tanaka's numbers this year are actually significantly better than Darvish's at this time in his first season.

I kinda think the 2nd year is when you find out what the deal is with the Japanese starters. Tanaka has been phenomenal this far, though.

While not as impressive as Cespedes' throw, Jackie Bradley made an insane throw to double up a runner last night.

MadTIGERmaN · Post by **MadTIGERmaN** » Sat June 14, 2014 12:26 am

Tanaka and Darvish are not in the same league as other Japanese starters, theyre not even in the same league as some of the American starters, they have legit no hit stuff no matter how many times other teams see them.

Tanakas split finger is just filthy

Ha ha I tricked you all. I posted that after he pitched against the M's. Everybody looks like Cy Young against the M's.

Tanaka is weak.

I go to the College World Series every year. I absolutely fell in love with JBJR (when he was at South Carolina) and how he plays the game. Good kid too. I think he will be damn good.

Any Cardinals fans in the house?

Let's assume they make the playoffs and have a home game on October 4.

Is that going to be an impossible ticket or would a visitor to the city be able to score a pair given that the team is in the playoffs every year?

(Do they sell out all the regular season games?)
