Mike Trout on Bryce Harper: "He's a max effort guy... well, except for that lack of hustle the other day."

davidh777

Deftones

dbacks are so bad, they are giving up 3 run HRs to the opposing pitcher.

TheKing

Raul Ibanez isn't hitting much for the Angels, but he seems to be doing it when the game is on the line.

Angels went into the 8th in Washington down 1-0. They tie the game, then with the bases loaded Ibanez comes up with a huge bases clearing double on what was a really good pitch. Ibanez was batting .148 coming into the game, but after that hit he now leads the team in RBI with 15.

dsa_shea

The Cardinals' bench is absolutely terrible. Descalso and Robinson need to be replaced pronto.

shizawn

Braves' bullpen, including Kimbrel, letting the team down this year.

KingSmoth

Braves pitching staff is definitely bass ackwards, considering the expectations were starter struggles with a solid bullpen to hold them up. I'm concerned about Kimbrel - I understand "knocking the rust off" but he has looked awful in his last two appearances and the Braves pitching staff has been dropping like flies to injuries (three to TJ this season already).
Uggla has never been a Gold Glove candidate, but he certainly hasn't been a defensive liability as he has been to this point, either.

davidh777

I didn't realize you were talking about the Cubs! Travis Wood drove in four of the Cubs' five runs.

Rob V

Tigers continue to NOT score runs at a record pace. If they don't win 1-0, they don't win.

dsa_shea

Both the Tigers and Cardinals have potent offenses that are impotent right now.

davidh777

Ibanez was so strong for the Mariners, and he's such a sentimental favorite, that I was surprised they didn't bring him back. I didn't keep track of the negotiations, but I guess they picked up younger 1B-DH options and figured he wasn't the future. He also dropped off significantly toward the end of the year.

I just happened to check Miggy's stats yesterday. What the heck is going on there?

bunkaroo

He's set for life now. Why should he try anymore?







Seriously, the Tigers will be fine. He will start hitting.

Rob V

Miggy goes thru these slumps every now and again but unlike last year's mid-season slump, he's starting out slow. He'll be fine... Interesting stats I heard on local sports radio: Both Miggy and Hank Aaron at the age of 31 (which Miggy turned last Friday) have the EXACT same # of HR's and Extra Base Hits. Miggy has a higher average and their slugging was nearly identical (I think 1% higher for Hank). Ironically, Mike Trout is trending higher than both those guys-- right now.

Also, if Miggy can still manage to get base hits at the rate he has over the last 10 years, he'll eclipse Pete Rose for most hits ever. Pretty amazing for a big guy who plays in a park that is significantly larger than most MLB stadiums.

B.A.

Don't forget half of the bullpen that Magic Mike is afraid to use.

davidh777

And a guy who hits in the middle of the order so wouldn't have the PA that Rose had.

I'd be rooting for him to do it. I respect Rose as a player, but watching him write himself into the starting lineup even though he had no power, no speed, and little average just to get the record was painful and annoying.

bunkaroo

Just imagine his numbers if he had been playing at US Cellular. Oh what could have been....

Deftones

a stats nerdy article about if David Ortiz should bunt against the shift: http://msn.foxsports.com/mlb/story/w...fscom:mlbonfox

Rob V

I definitely noticed how small the field "felt". 400 to straight away center... Miggy would have hit two out last night alone... instead he had 800 feet of outs

dvd-4-life

How much longer will the Yankees stay with Brian(I wish I was the DL) Roberts at secondbase? So far he has shown nothing and I'm glad the Orioles didn't re-sign him.

PhantomStranger

I get nervous now whenever a groundball goes towards second. More worrisome is that Uggla looks nervous when a groundball is hit his way.

davidh777

Jim Hendry always had such a huge hard-on for Roberts that I was surprised he never became a Cub. Now I'm surprised to see he's still in the league.

TheKing

Albert Pujols has just reached the 500 home run club. He hit a home run in the 1st inning for 499, and now here in the 5th he becomes the 26th player in MLB history to reach the 500 HR mark.

He's also the second Angel to hit that mark, following Reggie Jackson. Pujols hit his 500th HR in the same ballpark he hit his 400th, Nationals Park in D.C.
