Brett Lawrie has been turning it up as of late. I have never really understood fully how they calculate WAR but I've always considered it a total outlook stat. Something that looks at offense and defence. Lawrie's defence is certainly fun to watch.
Hawk had a total meltdown regarding an umpire earlier in the year. It was pretty funny to listen to. He's easily the biggest homer announcer in the league. HE GONE
He's totally dejected when the other team scores too.
And Lawries WAR is so high on BR because they love his D. Not nearly that close on Fangraphs (the site I prefer to use since it includes UZR as their defensive metric).
"2-1 bad guys, heading into the 5th. We'll be back."
"Stretch, get on back thurrr'! STREEEETCH! It will! You can put it on the BOARD, YEEEEEES!"
"Don't stop now, boooooooys!"
"Can a corn."
Bout' time the Sox won a game. They've lost the last 5 series since running off 9 in a row. Floyd pitched as well as it can be considered seeing as he faced the Cubs.
Went to my first Red Sox game since 2002 tonight. Hot as fuck but a really fun game regardless. Forgot how awesome the atmosphere was since I was only 10 last time I went.
Brett Lawrie failed defensively at second coming up in the minors. Find it hard to believe that he can all of a sudden become one of the best defenders in baseball at third. I think the positive defensive metrics are largely due to small sample size. UZR, they say, should only be looked at across 3 years to truly get an accurate gauge of defensive talent. So I think Lawrie is playing slightly over his head, tho I do think he can be a good defender.

While Tim's first part of that 1st inning was awful, it suddenly seemed to click on for him as he totally dominated three batters in a row, striking them all out. He didn't allow another hit for the rest of the game, and only walked two, while striking out 5 more. He might be in the process of turning things around. It's the best I've seen him look this season.

Yeah that's what the commentators speculated but personally I'm skeptical. I'll believe it when I see it. Timmy's been pissing me off a lot this season and it's gonna take a lot more than a hot performance after already giving up 3 runs for me to forgive him. :side:
Sure wish the Giants could hit like they did in the 9th every game though, hot damn. :mark:
We all knew he'd turn it around eventually. He's far too talented not to. That pitching will be dominant when he's fully back to form. Cain - Lincicum - Bumgarner - Vogelsong oh my oh my. Zito hardly even matters when you got those 4.
Yep, if Lincecum rights the ship that's a very scary post season rotation. Vogelsong is still kinda a question mark, but he hasn't really shown many signs of breaking down yet.
I'm stuck with Royals/Cards on MLBTV instead of Blue Jays/Marlins.
Hearing that the White Sox are interested in trading for Kevin Youkilis. Mainly because of how awful Orlando Hudson is.
