Support NeoGAF

[NYCrooner]

Damn I'm such a diehard baseball fan and I forget there's a great baseball thread on GAF. Gotta visit Off Topic more.

That said, just checking the standings and it just really blows my mind that the Pirates are still only three out of the top spot. When's the last time they were this close this close to the break? Has there been any word Pittsburgh ownership or management about a possible push (pick-up) if they are still in contention after the break? I'm a Bombers fan but a baseball fan first, so would love to see a story like this. Hope this hasn't been discussed to death already.

I don't think the Pirates FO is into that sort of thing.

On MLB.com, it says that the Phillies-Jays game is being broadcast at 1:07. What? Why? Would 1:05 have been too early? 1:10 too late? Do the two extra minutes mean all the difference for easily excitable Jays fans to cheer on Halladay? I just don't understand.

The white sox had/have a partnership with 7-11 so their 7pm games would start at 7-11.

 

[weekend_warrior]

not like Reye's play would have made a difference anyway.

but it was still another YOTU call, this is one of those text book cases to make the case for replay in baseball, but Bud is too busy with... god knows what. anyhoo, Let's put more items in the left handed column, wait, my left hand or yours?

fuck.that

textbook example of why baseball needs more athletic umps who can get into position to make a call.

Werd man. We need umps like Jim Wolf put in there. No more Joe West lool alikes.

Carton a funny ass dude man. His impersation of Suyzn Waldman is on point. He does like to talk too much and doesn't let Boomer speak his mind sometimes.

 

[cashman]

Rangers signed Nomar Mazara to a 5 million dollar bonus. He was only the #10 rated LA prospect. Welp, at least I know where all the draft money went.

 

[Windu]

Speaking of archived Mlb.tv feeds: How long after the games do blackout restrictions lift?

Edit: Also, any pitchers worth watching tonight?

90 minutes

 

[Sharp]

Halladay just got Bautista'd.

 

[Horsemama1956]

Good to see that many people at a Jays game.

 

[BigJonsson]

BOOOOOOM!

Jose doesn't like being 2nd in homeruns

 

[yankeehater]

Why would you walk Utley to face Howard? Howard is swinging the bat way better this year.

Howard K's a lot more. But yeah, it doesn't make a ton of sense.

 

[jakncoke]

nice apparently we signed some dude that ranked 15th on this latin america player list that is based not on talent but from what baseball america thinks is a consensus of what the top earners will be based signing bonuses . i dunno is it me or is that kinda odd?

[Sharp]

INFIELD TRIPLE

 

[yankeehater]

Gload is so bad. lol

 

[BigJonsson]

Jays take lead against Halladay


Wow, Romero's numbers after his first 78 games are better than Halladay's numbers were after the same number of starts

 

[Sharp]

Yeah, but you have to keep in mind that Halladay absolutely blew during his first season.

 

[CygnusXS]

I just want Toronto to beat Philly once. Is that too much to ask?

Looks like it.

 

[BigJonsson]

lol @ fan running on to the field

 

[BigJonsson]

Hooooooly crap Rauch just lost it on the ump

 

[yankeehater]

Hooooooly crap Rauch just lost it on the ump

I thought that he was going to punch the ump. That was crazy.

 

[BigJonsson]

And now Farrel has lost it

And the ump lost it right back to him

 

[JABEE]

Rauch went crazy.

Edit: It's getting intense.

 

[Nobility]

Loving this Jays game. Rauch lost it.

 

[BigJonsson]

I wish this many people came out for every Jays game..........except for the ones that throw shit on the field and start fights

 

[JABEE]

Fans throwing stuff on the field and Police are now in foul territory. Fans are chanting "You Suck. You Suck. You Suck."

 

[sangreal]

Fuck Fox. I should just go to a bar instead of listening to Buck/McCarver

 

[Nobility]

It's time like this why I always draft Halladay first.

Poor Jays.

 

[jakncoke]

lame that game 1 wasn't on and boxing is

 

[weekend_warrior]

Joe Buck commentating a Yankees/Mets game. This is gonna suck. :\

 

[Celsior]

Joe Buck commentating a Yankees/Mets game. This is gonna suck. :\

Start time plus commentating crew make me hate Fox.

 

[sangreal]

Nunez. FFS

 

[snack]

Jays got ripped off...

 

[Windu]

Fans throwing stuff on the field and Police are now in foul territory. Fans are chanting "You Suck. You Suck. You Suck."

Canadians are sore losers.

 

[jakncoke]

nice McDonald keeping his pitch count low. 3 innings 33 pitches. 28 for strike

 

[weekend_warrior]

Anybody remember when Cano was good? Sigh... I miss those days.

 

[Mr. Enigma]

So Reyes injured his hamstring?

 

[CajoleJuice]

whatever, i'm numb at this point

maybe they'll be able to sign him now

 

[rando14]

Solid pitching going on in New York today.

 

[weekend_warrior]

Nunez is red hot at the plate. And Colon comes to bat with 2 outs...

 

[Mr. Enigma]

#Mets' Collins on Reyes: Injury not to same hamstring as 2009. Unsure of severity. Reyes cited tightness and cramping. #MLB

.

 

[Brinbe]

Just got back from the Jays game (awesome crowd BTW) and I've never seen anyone react like Rauch did, my god, that was amazing.

Also, that Bombeasta homer was unreal. 450+ blast to straightaway center.

 

[lucius]

What is up with Fox's HD feed of the NY game, the view behind the pitcher, the pitcher is blurry, the batter is fine but this isn't normal for an HD sports broadcast. I am on Cablevision NY but this seems to be Fox's problem because no Met's and Yankees games on their own networks look like this.

Looks normal to me on Time Warner.

Edit: Now the pitcher is blurry, but the outfield cam position still looks normal.

 

[cuevas. PhD.]

White sox are in the middle of being no hit. We'll see if garza can keep this no hitter together. I hope the sox can break apart this no hitter.

Sox-Cubs game in HD just got switched to the SD feed for some reason...
