lichtie23 Posted August 12 Share Posted August 12 Just caught last nights highlights. Lovely viewing. Pitching was world class this weekend. If I had a slight criticism it’s that Randy Arozarena hasn’t done much since being acquired. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boo Khaki Posted August 12 Share Posted August 12 (edited) Joe Musgrove back on the mound as SP for the Pads tonight. Also rumours circulating that Yu Darvish is back in SD and working out privately with a view to some minor league rehab starts soon. Both are potentially huge for SD because they've been working miracles with some AAA pitching getting starts, and although they've been hot as hell since the ASB it doesn't feel sustainable and no way do I want to see Vasquez or Mazur on the hill in the playoffs, should we get there. Musgrove, Darvish, and Tatis Jnr back, and it would really feel like they could chase the Dodgers for the NL West crown.

lichtie23 Posted August 13 Share Posted August 13 This arrived yesterday. Not a genuine because paying £150 for a jersey seems mental to me but a pretty decent fake. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only thing that’s missing is the number on the front. But I’m not really going to wear it out much and it will take a proper baseball die hard to notice it’s not legit. And Arbroath doesn’t have many of them. yours looks quality mate 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig fae the Vale Posted August 13 Share Posted August 13 I've got a few really good fakes as well, no way am I paying full price for one that's probably not all that much better quality. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boo Khaki Posted August 14 Share Posted August 14 Wish the Pads would play on the East Coast more often. 2:40am starts are murderous on my sleep routine. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lichtie23 Posted August 14 Share Posted August 14 The Tigers bent Seattle over last night and went in dry. A 15-1 defeat for the Mariners. And to make it worse the Astros won meaning they have 1.5 game lead now 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's wild how it seems to happen to players in batches like that. Jared Kelenic got hit by 5 consecutive teams at one point last season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think teams reckon he's vulnerable to down and in stuff when he's batting Lefty, so they are throwing a lot of backdoor sliders and stuff inside the plate, so when they are slightly off he's getting smacked in the knees, shins, and feet constantly. Ok, if a team is gonna plunk you they don't generally throw at your legs, but we played the Pirates 5x over the past week so when it's the same team over and over it's hard not to feel there is a degree of intent there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JP himself got pretty vocal after the 4th or 5th time he was hit, but I think it was more just "FFS COME ON MAN!!!" frustration than any genuine belief they were targetting him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a genuine because paying £150 for a jersey seems mental to me but a pretty decent fake. If you're looking for a genuine sign up for the Fanatics email list. Especially towards the end of the season/off-season they'll drop to around £55. Still dear and shipping will be add twenty, but just an FYI. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boo Khaki Posted August 15 Share Posted August 15 I knew Oneil Cruz had to have some sort of redeeming quality, because it sure as hell isn't his defence at SS. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
