Very classy. Always liked Scutaro.GRPhilipp said:Giants signed the very old, very injured Marco Scutaro.

This is beyond classy. The contract they matched paid him $6.6M per year. Hard to know how much of that he will actually get paid, but wow, what a gesture!
Jon Miller calling the game to the Giants. I used to hate him on ESPN, and then heard him on these broadcasts and realized that it was entirely because of Joe Morgan.stp130 said:Pitching porn. King Felix vs. MadBum on MLBTV right now.
Did you hate Joe Buck because of McCarver? Actually, both were hate-worthy. Miller is always good, always in a good mood, great story teller.LogansDad said:Jon Miller calling the game to the Giants.

Anyhow, he just said he thinks all of the idiots who chant "K! K! K!" everytime Felix gets to two strikes went to Duke.... and it cracked me up.
Spooked by right fielder Maxwell? Not that he should have alligator armed it like he did. There are a lot worse near collisions than that and the catch is made.Lars The Wanderer said:Fuckin' Pagan whiffed on a flyball. Game over again Felix.
Come on now, Al. This isn't a fair comparison :colbert:Al Zarilla said:Did you hate Joe Buck because of McCarver? Actually, both were hate-worthy. Miller is always good, always in a good mood, great story teller.

We could start with Harper’s .726 slugging percentage, which, over a full season, would be the highest for a player his age (22) or younger since Ted Williams in 1941, a season that ought to ring a historical bell or two.
Harper’s 226 OPS+, meanwhile, would be the 10th-highest for a player of any age since 1901. The only 22-year-old to post an OPS+ that good was, again, Williams in 1941, and the only three names ahead of Harper on the list are Williams, Babe Ruth, and Barry Bonds — only the three greatest hitters, relative to their respective eras, ever to play the game.
He’s been 4.3 wins better than the average player, the 46th-best mark in history by a player his age or younger, and he’s got another 96 games to run up the score. He’s already halfway to the best WAA in history for a player age 22 or younger (8.6), a record held jointly by Trout in 2012 and Williams in 1941.
only good thing is he walked off the field and down the tunnel on his ownEd Hillel said:Harper just fucked up his knee or quad. Looks bad.
He pitched so poorly too. What the hell?DanoooME said:Verlander finishes at 117 pitches in his second start back. This is just stupid. Do they really want him arm falling off now? Ausmus is just asking for trouble.
If his was putting up these numbers with us the reaction would be?tims4wins said:Lester went 4 IP 4 ER today. 17 ER in 26.2 June IP. 4.03 ERA on the year. Can't imagine the Cubs are too happy thus far. And it will only get worse as the years go by.
That said if they happen to win a title during his contract and he is a meaningful contributor, they likely won't care, kinda like us with Lackey.
Lack had a reasonable contract. You're thinking of someone like Barry Zito and the Giants.tims4wins said:Lester went 4 IP 4 ER today. 17 ER in 26.2 June IP. 4.03 ERA on the year. Can't imagine the Cubs are too happy thus far. And it will only get worse as the years go by.
