OFFICIAL 2017 MLB THREAD

[SkiBall]

My wife calls Brock Mini-Thor. But I think he might have cut his locks. Such a lil baller.

[iceman]

Kid is scrappy.

[Sluff]

Colón so far so good for the Twins through two innings vs the Yankees. No way this lasts. Man is he big. Thought they were going to bring him to the mound from the bullpen on a golf cart. Fastball in the upper 80's. 🤞🏻

[SkiBall]

Colon should learn the knuckleball.

[iceman]

he'd be pitching until he was 60 if he did, he should do it.

[BmillsSkier]

And go into the Hall as an Indian.

[Brock Landers]

Is he hof worthy?

[iceman]

Not yet but he ain't done.

I just absolutely love having Brock (Holt) back, I think I already said that but fuckit, I do. Kid is juice to the team.

[iceman]

Kacie McDonnell on NESN. Yow. She's looking quite fetching tonight with the white dress and some sort of push-up business going on there.

[iceman]

She's trying to be a journalist but it's game over, give it up, you look like this Kacie:



We want to take you seriously, we do. But...yeah that's not happening. Sorry.

[iceman]

Why is Kimbrel pitching? This is not his situation. I am expecting some flail.

[BmillsSkier]

Loved watching him in ATL. He and Cody Allen are the cream of the crop closers in the AL.

[iceman]

He was amazing early but has been a little shaky imo in recent times. He keeps getting away with it but to me putting him in a game where he doesn't have a save opportunity is dumb.

[SkiBall]

Thank you. I keeping thinking I must be crazy, be he makes me nervous everytime I watch him pitch. I just keep waiting for something to crash. Loved our Nippon duo, and even liked Pap(as a player). Kimbrel might be better than all of them, but I can't help but not trust him.

[BmillsSkier]

Alright. Then that makes Allen better in my biased mind. He walked into Tito's office recently and said, "Miller (Andrew) is working too much, let's put me in the earlier innings and let him rest".

Love that shit.

[iceman]

Thank you. I keeping thinking I must be crazy, be he makes me nervous everytime I watch him pitch.

He doesn't make me nervous when it's a true save opportunity with money on the line. I think everything is perfect with his arm and conditioning. He's a gunfighter, he can't pay attention if it's not all on the line. But the Sox put him in in the 8th the other day? In a tie game tonight? No. Send him out there to protect a lead and sit people down. Otherwise call somebody else.

Miss Remdawg but love hearing Eck, what do we do?

[SkiBall]

He makes me nervous.

[SkiBall]

Frazier, Roberson and someone else likely headed to the Yanks.

[Supermoon]

He makes me nervous.

Eck? Yeah me too. I always feel like he's one second away from saying something accidentally racist.

But I do enjoy listening to him

[iceman]

eck is fine, he's on it. He's got like twenty grand a month in tanning salon bills alone, he doesn't want to get fired.

I thought you were saying Kimbrel makes you nervous? 'Cause he makes me a little nervous lately.

[Supermoon]

When they were asking for pizza in the booth a minute ago I was waiting for someone to fire a slice into the booth while yelling "here comes the pizza!"

[SkiBall]

Eck? Yeah me too. I always feel like he's one second away from saying something accidentally racist.

But I do enjoy listening to him

Nah, fine with him though I don't really listen to him much.

eck is fine, he's on it. He's got like twenty grand a month in tanning salon bills alone, he doesn't want to get fired.

I thought you were saying Kimbrel makes you nervous? 'Cause he makes me a little nervous lately.

Yes. Maybe it's just that shaky arm thing. But I can just see a playoff losing event with him trying to close it out.

[ex-powderbroker]

Yanks have been the worst team in baseball for the last month. So weird to see a team go 20-5 and then 5-20(ish).

Anyway, do the Astros have any weaknesses?

[Bromontana]

I think regardless of where Bryce Harper finishes his career, I'll be a fan through that point. The kid is an animal. Line drive HRs to offset the bombs over center field walls.

[BmillsSkier]

EE just showed Toronto what they let go tonight.

HR, 2B, 1B, BB, 3-4, 4 RBI

TRIBE 13 - TOR 3
