Jim Cowan Posted May 6 Posted May 6 Just a minute. Carson Kelly has 8 home runs in 61 at bats? Carson Kelly? Not to mention 17 walks against 7 strikeouts? This will be the day that I will always remember, the day that I realized that AI was deliberately distorting baseball stats, just to f*ck with us. 1 1 Quote

IdahoBert Posted May 6 Posted May 6 On my iPhone, I asked a question about why the Japanese baseball season was shorter than the American season and this is what Google AI told me: AI Overview “Japanese baseball seasons are shorter than American (MLB) seasons primarily because they have fewer games…” At least they didn’t charge me for this sterling insight. 3 Quote

IdahoBert Posted May 6 Posted May 6 So I did it. I waited for the “Mother’s Day“ sale or whatever the heck it is to get mlb.tv for half price. $69.99 now let’s watch the team go into a nose dive and make me regret it. In all honesty I don’t think that’s going to happen. 2 1 Quote

In all honesty I don’t think that’s going to happen. And I don’t think the team will go into a nose dive because I don’t think the world revolves around my random actions, although if the skies part and the sun shines, and tonight‘s game is not rained out, I might begin to think that it does. If that’s the case, I’ll be like Ren in Ren and Stimpy and pray for $1 million as well as huge pectoral muscles. Quote
Sports_Freak Posted May 6 Posted May 6 Chafin just pitched an inning for the Nats against Cleveland. He struggled but finished the inning without giving up a run. The Tigers are a better team without him. Nibbling at the strike zone, taking forever to throw a pitch and pretty wild. I'm happy with our BP. 1 Quote
Sports_Freak Posted May 6 Posted May 6 Watching the Nationals blow a 4 run lead in the 7th inning reminds me of the Tigers a few years back. Their pitchers can't throw strikes and fall behind every hitter. Quote
Sports_Freak Posted May 6 Posted May 6 Nationals came back and beat Cleveland in the 1st game of a DH. 10-9. Cleveland stinks! Quote

In all honesty I don’t think that’s going to happen. I bought it yesterday too. And I followed your advice and waited. The $69.99 for the entire season is a really, really good deal. I'm watching JV against the Cubbies tonight 1 Quote

I’d much rather have all the guys we have up now, plus Foley, Brebbia and Owens over Chafin. Add SGL too. Quote

I like Chafins personality but he doesn't throw enough strikes anymore. Our pitchers pound the strike zone, mostly. The bar is high. Quote

papalawrence Posted May 7 Posted May 7 KC continues to roll and the Twins are playing better ball. The Central is gonna be a dog fight Quote
