2013 MLB Season Game Thread: July

[Bobbob1313]

He's kind of very similar to Jeff Francoeur at this point in their respective careers, which means almost nothing for his future, probably.

Hicks (Twins) just made a bonkers game saving catch in CF

[Miamarlin21]

Bryant and Judge are about to sign, leaving Moran as the only first rounder left unsigned.

[Namaste]

Freddie Freeman one time common

[Ramp]

Hanley is en fuego
--------------------
Also don't see anything wrong with Puig shaking his head in disgust after whiffing on a pitch he should crush. Every single player in baseball does that...

but thats cool, seems like shitting all over the Puig Parade

[Namaste]

Every single player in baseball does that

Really? Every single one?

I don't think half of them are nearly as animated as he is when he swings and misses.

And lol at me shitting on the Puig Parade. Is it against the rules to think that it's premature to be gaga over him after a month of AB's?

[Ramp]

Not early at all to not think he'll keep hitting .400. No one expects that either.

And yea, I'm willing to say 90% of the players in the majors will shake their head or whatever if they swing and miss on a pitch that they thought they could have crushed. I don't even understand why that even offends you.

It's been a bit funny to watch a few of the old-timey baseball guys starting to turn on him for his "attitude" recently. There was a pretty silly USA Today article about his "hubris" or some such nonsense.

Votto is known for dropping loud f-bombs when he punches.

[Miamarlin21]

So, is Hanley back?

[dgriot]

No rebound year for Heath, hehehe

(I generally wish players well, but nuts to him.)

[Namaste]

Whoa. I'm not offended. I'm just not a fan.

Have you only watched his highlights? Watch some of his lowlights too. There are plenty of those.

Watch the play in Arizona when he inexplicably tries to score when the SS has the ball in his hand. It's a total wtf moment.


Puig is 8 for 30 (no HR's) with 12 K's since July 4th.

[Ramp]

Never gonna fault someone for hustling, but yea, he's a little raw on the base paths

[Nick]

Seems to be a trend with Cuban Players...

[Miamarlin21]

Nevermind. Read it wrong.
