[clapclapclap 9000]

This is what Pham was clutching his pearls over:

That said, there are no winners here.  Look at that stupid haircut, stupid mustache, stupid hat placement (no way Joc's dad worked as a fisherman in the Dominican Republic), and how about mixing in a salad now and then.

Update: And now I'm hearing there's a recall of gif

Yeah but they don't play for the Dodgers.

Look at Mookie’s stats for the last 3 weeks.  No way you can compare anyone.

last 15 days-

player a) 24/60, 22 r, 8 hr, 18 rbi, .400 avg, 1.412 ops

player b) 14/52, 15 r, 8 hr, 23 rbi, .269 avg, 1.225 ops (and five steals for good measure)

player c) 28/59, 13 r, 8 hr, 26 rbi, .424 avg, 1.520 ops

player d) 23/56, 18 r, 6 hr, 12 rbi, .411 ba, 1.399 ops

 

this shows that nobody is the hottest hitter in the league "bar none", and that in fact there are several hitters who have been scorching hot for a while now. so yes you can compare other hitters to mookie. several of them. 

edit: btw that's mookie, story, goldy, and kole calhoun of all people.

[shadow_operative2.0 15987]

Dead fucking center for Trout & the lead in bot 7. 

[shadow_operative2.0 15987]

Vlad fucked that shit up. 

[shadow_operative2.0 15987]

2-out, 2-run 'double' thanks to the newly-promoted Juan Lagares gives the lead back to Tor. 

[shadow_operative2.0 15987]

Loaded with 2 outs in bot 9, LAA down 1. 

[shadow_operative2.0 15987]

Jays hang on. 

[shadow_operative 15932]

Joc Pederson looks like fat Loras Tyrell.

I’m pretty sure we’ve got enough information to make a ruling that Tommy Pham is the Helo of mlb. Total dumbass and not half as important as he thinks he is.

So he’s a high roller who routinely challenges other players to fights. Good Lord this guy has some delusions of grandeur and a MASSIVE anger issue. As ridiculous and humorous as his quotes are, someone in the league office needs to mandate that he gets weekly counseling or he cannot play until he does. 

[shadow_operative2.0 15987]

Interesting approach to this play for the new kid.

He's 34.  He's not going to change.

Perhaps not. Someone needs to challenge him to a fight in Temecula and get him to post pictures that he actually went.

[shadow_operative2.0 15987]

We know he’s 0-1 outside of strip clubs. 

[shadow_operative 15932]

I believe that's Mike Hargrove just wailing on the 2nd baseman over on the left side of the scrum.  

[shadow_operative2.0 15987]

Jays beat LAA, 11-10. 5 in a row in opposite directions for those two. 

[shadow_operative 15932]

[shadow_operative2.0 15987]

2-out, 3-run yack on 0-2 by Castellanos in top 8 to take the lead. Oops. 

[shadow_operative2.0 15987]

One fucking pitch for Knebel to blow the save to a nobody.

Point of order.  Every announcement of a Castellanos HR must be preceded by an apology.

i don't even know if i'll ever post here again.

I got up at 4:30 to go fishing this morning.  That’ll teach me to post before the sun is up.
