Around Baseball

I like players staying with one team the majority if not their entire career. Glad to see Utley staying with the Phillies.

Not that the Braves are complaining but its good to see Prado getting hot now. He is going to end up having a really good season.

Pathetic.

MLBN for the win.

ESPN is a disgrace. They have that all blown up. Meanwhile, the Braves just swept the team that most experts picked to win the WS to put them 15.5 out.

And the headline is about four notches down on the right rail with a side story about Wren being irritated with the tweet.

Screw them.

MLBN for the win.

MLB Network can be just as bad.

 

[Gary82]

MLBN can be terrible. If it involves Kevin Millar, Mitch Williams, or Harold Reynolds, it's just best to flip the channel.

Yeah. I do like Millar on Intentional Talk though. He's probably the worst baseball announcer I've ever heard. Yes, I am including Brian Jordan in that.

It's not so bad at ESPN, Schoenfield just posted another article about the team.

Just checked the Marlins clubhouse on ESPN, and their leader in OPS is Hechavarria at .589. Holy crap, that is a terrible offense.

Was listening to the BBTN podcast and Olney raised an interesting point. No one is really distancing themselves from the pack in the MVP race. We know ESPN will be pimping their boy Puig if the Dodgers make it. Freeman is 10th in OPS, CJ 11th and Justin 19th in the NL. It would be hilarious if Justin has another April and gets serious consideration when he was craptastic over half the season. We know it will go to a player on a playoff team and if the Pirates win the division I might be in favor of just giving it to McCutchen, winning the division with the Pirates deserves a significant award in my opinion. I think Freeman could be a darkhorse candidate if he gets a few more RBI than the 108 he is on pace for now. I could easily see it going to Kershaw this year.

I'm rooting for Mac personally, though I'm sure he won't win it. IMO, he's our best overall hitter. We better resign him.

Why they are 29 guests on this site? They can't read anything, right?

It can be but all ESPN talks about is Puig non stop.

While the main reason for their success has been Hanley being the best player in the NL the past month or so.

You must be doing something wrong he's 17th on the team at .589, although a few of the guys ahead of him are not on the active roster right now. Stanton and Logan Morrison are over .800

They probably don't have enough PA to qualify for leader-boards, and thus ESPN isn't listing them on the Marlins main-page.

Didn't see this posted anywhere else. Pretty good read from Richard Justice at mlb.com.
