Re: MLB
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.

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.Chris_H_2 wrote:This just in: the Detroit Tigers pretty much suck right now.
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.

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?
So I was wrong about Tanaka

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.

Re: MLB
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.Bammer wrote:OKBammer wrote:Ok really. Who gets your vote over King Felix for AL Cy Young.

Re: MLB
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.

Re: MLB
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.

Re: MLB
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.BigRedLedbetter wrote: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.

Re: MLB
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

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.

Re: MLB
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?)

Playoff tickets are tough to get in STL yes.
