re: 2012 GIANTS...TROUT >
It's in his head that this was going to happen, no wonder he's been struggling. Strausburg should have been screaming to them from the mountaintops to give him the ball every 5th day. If I was him, I'd be informing the Nationals to not expect me to ever sign another contract with them and I'm out the door first chance I get.
The fans should be pissed as hell also. Washington had a very good chance to obviously not only win the division, but win the NLCS and play in the World Series. Forget that now, I hope the fans don't show up now.
Not to mention, who is to say that he ever gets here again? He could go out next spring, blow his arm out on Opening Day and that's all she wrote. I would also want to see how he handles playing in the clutch, especially if you want this guy as your meal ticket for the next 10+ years. Plus, it's not a done deal the Nats are even playoff-bound yet. The Red Sox and Braves were supposed to be at this time last year, and look how that ended up.

re: 2012 GIANTS...TROUT >
Exactly. Well said, Bruiser. Take Mark Prior, for example. Guy was arguably the most dominant collegiate pitcher of all time and was eased along in the minors prior to pitching for the Cubs in 02'. Progressively took him from 60IP to 88, then 113, and so on and so forth. Scouts said Prior had one of the most fluid deliveries and the best mechanics they had ever seen. What happens? Arm falls off and Prior's career will be forever remembered as an injury riddled one.
Long story shorty, you just never know what can happen.

Really should have beat the Dodgers today.  Can't believe how Bochy handled those last few innings.
Tomorrow will suck.

re: 2012 GIANTS...TROUT >
I knew once Affeldt was warming up that the game was over. The guys numbers look a lot better than he's pitched if that makes sense. Seems like he always blows it in big games.
This should have definitely been a win. Giants gave the Dodgers too many free runs by throwing wild pitches in the dirt and stupid defensive decisions.

Just got back from the Angels/Tigers game, holy fuck what a night. TROUT is unbelievable, the crowd went crazy when he robbed fielder a homer.

re: 2012 GIANTS...TROUT >
It is amazing how the good the Orioles record is. By all objective measures, they are a below .500 team. Just look at their run differential. It is truly unbelievable. But that is why I love baseball. The unbelievable can happen. This shit doesn't happen in any other sport. I mean the Orioles have no business at all making the play-offs. They are no where near as talented as the Tigers, Angels, Yankees, Rays. Oakland too. I mean what the hell? The lowest ranked offense in baseball doesn't make the play-offs.

I hated the outcome of the game, but it was a damn good game.
I am going to have to give you some rep for going to see LAA vs DET.

Who is ready for the Sox to be swept by the Tigers again?

Ughh, I wish that was the case. In the first 5 innings the White Sox stranded 10 runners on base and Detroit 1, and the score was 1-0; it was looking good, but of course, The Sox come back 6-1.
But congrats on your team winning, buddy, I will rep you when I can.
