Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

Nolan Ryan would be my #1 power pitcher followed by Randy then Clemens.

Maddux was definately one of the best pitchers pitcher.

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

Anyone see what happend to the Giants pitcher last night? Martinez got hit in the head by a line drive. Wow, just saw it on sportscenter, it looked bad.

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

I saw it on Sportscenter late last night. It looked pretty bad, but he did walk off. The guy who hit him, Mike Cameron, was pretty shook up.

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

I remember when Mussina got hit in the face. He said it took the rest of the season before he stopped flinching.

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

Greg Maddux was truly awesome!

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

While he did pitch for the cubs, i still think he is one of the best:tu

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

for the playoffs, i would go w/curt shilling or john smoltz

Looks like the tarp's about to come off the field in Atlanta. Maybe they'll get this one in tonight.

EDIT: Tarp is not coming off, but cleanup is underway.

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

:wo
Tarp is coming off now.

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

Yanks played well tonight :)

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

Holy cow!!!

Twins busted it wide open.

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

With all that money, it's about time. I still can't picture Texiera in a Yankee uniform. Just doesn't seem right. Not sure why.

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

Nah, I wasn't surprised by the start. If you look at Tex and Sabathia's numbers previously both are slow starters in April. Tex is actually heating up much earlier than I thought he would to be honest.

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

:pu:pu:pu:pu Im not mad, Im physically sick........

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

I'm not a Yankees fan, but as long as they finish ahead of the RedSox, then I'm ok w/ 'em. I am a Texiera fan. He would have made a good Red (coulda replaced Griffey and Dunn's bat).

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

You have Joey Votto, he's gonna be just as good as Tex!

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

The Reds have a good lineup. Good pitching as well.

Edwin Encarnacion
Alex Gonzalez
Jerry Hairston Jr.
Paul Janish
Brandon Phillips
Joey Votto
Jay Bruce
Chris Dickerson
Darnell McDonald
Laynce Nix
Willy Taveras

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

A-Gon hasn't done anything yet, and McDonald is a career minor leaguer.
I'm putting my money on Phillips, Votto, EE, Bruce, Tavaras, and the top 4 in the pitching rotation.

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

MLB Gameday Audio is awesome.
A one year fee of 14.95.

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

Got the job done today. I was worried, but he looked good.

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

Andy do they blackout the local game? I know they do that with the video feed.

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

Only used it today, but no blackouts so far. I don't think they black out the radio feed, but I could be wrong. I caught the Reds/Pirates game, Boston/Anaheim game, Atlanta/Washington game, and the Cubs/Brewers game all today with no problem. I cut the sound off the tv for the Boston game and the Atlanta game and listened to the radio.

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

I need to get myself a small radio to listen when I an not near a tv. We have a local station that has the Yankees games on.

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

No radio stations in my area have MLB games. I do get all the NASCAR races on the radio though. I'd rather pay the 14.95 a yr for the radio broadcast verses the $70+ and have to deal w/ constant blackouts. Audio and the Gameday pitch by pitch coverage go great together.

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

I figured a way to get around the blackouts if I really wanted it bad enough. I would have my brother in Indiana pay for it using his address and then use an internet IP redirect to get around the local IP block. Just isn't worth all the trouble though.

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

I wish justin.tv or channelsurf.net would cover MLB games. Haven't seen one yet though.

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

I am always checking them out with no luck. MLB has a pretty good strangle hold on their product.

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

They want that money. But I believe that the NFL has an even tighter hold on their product.

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

I don't know, the NFL games can be picked up on channelsurfing.net each week.

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

But the networks only are allowed an allotted amount of time per game. there were multiple games that I was not able to see the end of due to NFL pulling the plug on them. You would think that if CBS or FOX carries a game, then they would be able to carry it for its entirety.

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

That is why I like baseball. The game goes until someone wins, except for the All-Star game. :r

Yikes!

Leaving Liriano in was huge mistake. I wasn't impressed with him last fall and now I know why.

There's always tomorrow. :tu

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

Good start boys, may you hold it for as long as you can.

San Francisco at San Diego 4:05 PM Licdecum vs Young - it should be a good match up

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

Fun game so far in KC. Back and forth in the bad weather.

On a side note, did anybody else see that douchbag play Beckett made in the BoSox/Angels game? WTF was Beckett thinking throwing at Abreu's head when he stepped out of the box? :confused: And why wasn't that schmuck ejected from the game :mad:

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

LA is probably gonna come and take that lead away very soon.

Anyone watch the Cubs Brewers game?

Wow, good stuff.

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

I love Soriano. 51 career lead off HRs now. Rickey has the all-time lead at 81. I think that record could be in danger in a couple years.

Philadelphia Phillies broadcaster Harry Kalas has died at the age of 73.

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

Another sad day in baseball this week.

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

:tu
Fielder got robbed.

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

They said he was found unconscious in the booth preparing for the game. This is not a good sign for this season with two deaths in the first week.

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

White Sox are up 10-6 over the Tigers in the 6th inning. 5 HRs so far between the two teams.

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

LOL, that was funny, the look on his face was priceless.

Re: *2009 MLB Thread*
 

Pissed me off. I lost some good fantasy points on that catch.
