Chris sale led all pitchers with 75 strikeouts in the month of June. That is 18 more than second place Clayton Kershaw.
I'm fine with Posey over Yadi, but more than 1 catcher makes it. Carpenter and Frazier will both get in, don't care who starts. Gordon will start but Wong will be in too. Holliday was a shoe in before the injury and should still get in.
Clint Hurdle found out that Victor Martinez said he had "no respect" for the Bucs for throwing at him. When a reprorter notified Hurdle of this he said, "We'll play him a little Aretha Franklin".......How bout just a little bit?
i hate max in the nl. makes us all harder to compete. he's that good. why didnt the tigers have the money after trading prince and freeing up some cashola? haha beaning is horseshit and chickenshit baseball.
I think the thing Martinez doesn't know is every team was throwing at McCutchen every game until he put some body armor on. They throw at him because he's a good hitter and one of the Pirates leaders. Thats a good reason to try and hurt somebody who is defenseless, no? The Pirates also lead the league in getting hit by pitches. So they are a little sensitive with that kind of crap right now.....
agreed igloo. pitch to the guy. beaning is chickenshit and especially when the hitter has nothing to do with a situation like a pitcher hits someone else and that pitcher beans a innocent hitter. hate that shit. no wonder juan marichal went after the pitcher with a bat.
I think sometimes a lot of wins can be had by that old saying. "Sometimes it's WHEN you play a team that can rack up some wins or losses".
