2014 MLB Discussion, v6: Super 2 Deadline looms.

Must suck to be a Pirates fan

super 2 threshold has likely passed. Theyre just being extra careful and want to make sure because theyre cheap and want an extra arbitration year. They can move Harrison to SS, theyre getting barely any production there.

If they want to keep having a can OF besides one guy, being in the same division Ill take it though.

I thought the same thing about moving Harrison to SS. You would think they would to keep his bat in the lineup.

When is he getting called up?

If Jackie Bradley continues to strike out at an alarming rate and Sizemore continues to suck then i would think pretty soon..

 

[Partlow]

Whats going on with Cingrani this year? Guy has been getting drilled most of the year. Maybe people are figuring him out, just throwing fastballs pretty much all the time.

Ernesto Frieri was quite opinionated in a postgame interview after his team swept the White Sox. According to Frieri,

Lol so I'm reading about Dick Stuart, guy played in the 50's-60's. Apparently he was atrocious defensively, and earned the nickname Dr Strangeglove, which has to be one of the greatest sports nicknames of all time. Apparently he was also called Stonefingers, which is also gold. Lots of James Bond references

edit: lol it keeps going

Stuart, in tribute to his poor fielding ability, also earned the nickname "The Ancient Mariner," a reference to an opening line in the Samuel Taylor Coleridge poem The Rime of the Ancient Mariner. The attributed line being: "It is an ancient mariner, And he stoppeth one of three," suggesting Stuart could only stop one of three balls hit at him the same way the Ancient Mariner in Coleridge's poem stops one of three wedding guests.[2]

In their book, The Great American Baseball Card Flipping, Trading and Bubble Gum Book, Brendan C. Boyd & Fred C. Harris, Little Brown & Co, 1973, on p. 77, the authors wrote an essay on Stuart's notoriously poor fielding. An excerpt: "Every play hit his way was an adventure, the most routine play a challenge to his artlessness. It is hard to describe this to anyone who has not seen it, just as it is hard to describe Xavier Cugat or Allen Ludden. Stu once picked up a hot dog wrapper that was blowing toward his first base position. He received a standing ovation from the crowd. It was the first thing he had managed to pick up all day, and the fans realized it could very well be the last."

this entire page is hilarious

ICANEZ just got a clutch fluke RBI single then got caught trying to steal second to end the inning one pitch later.

 

[Partlow]

Took Neil Walker hitting the DL.

and for an appendectomy, not even a baseball related injury. Lucky for Polanco.

Trout got besmirched by instant replay. Called a home run back to a ground rule double.

Chisenhall's stats tonight. Holy shizz.

Must be that luck Enzo was talking about.
