For someone his size, you've gotta have 12 5% ABV beers in 2 hours to get there

That's hard work

I live in Greensboro. I have Directv. I get every Nats game for free because of this MASN dispute issue that's been going on for years. I get every Braves game because that's the "local team" in the area. Found out tonight, I get every Reds game for free because. I don't know why.

Barves reliever just went down clutching his leg. Being carted off now. Avilan is who it was.

After Herrera gives up 3 fucking HRs to break a tie game in the bottom of the 8th.

Only get Orioles games when they are on MASN, not MASN2. Weird.

Stupid Polanco went 1-4. If he had gone 2-4 the Marlins first three hitters would be hitting .111, .222 and .333

Another cause of the 100-mph ceiling owes to this: the amount of torque needed to throw in excess of the century mark is greater than the amount of force the ulnar collateral ligament (the elbow ligament Strasburg tore) can withstand before giving out, according to tests Fleisig has done on cadavers. When a pitcher cocks his arm, where it is turned back to the point where the palm is facing toward the sky, there's about 100 Newton-meters of torque on the arm, which subjects the arm to the same amount of stress as if the pitcher had a 60-pound weight hanging from his hand in that position, Fleisig says.
From that cocked position, the arm snaps forward to its release point in 0.03 seconds, and at its peak speed, an elite pitcher's arm rotates at upward of 8500 degrees per second. If that single instant of speed could be maintained, then a pitcher's arm would spin around 24 times in a second.

If the Athletics can go ~.500 versus the rest of the league (save the Astros), they seem poised for a 90-72 record.

Padres President & CEO:

"He threw at him on purpose, OK?" Garfinkel told an estimated crowd of 40 or 50 at Petco Park on Friday, a day after the fight. "That's what happened. They can say 3-and-2 count, 2-1 game, no one does that. Zack Greinke is a different kind of guy. Anyone seen 'Rain Man'? He's a very smart guy."


:shock:

And his apology:

"I was emotional the day after the game and regrettably, while defending our player, I said some things I shouldn't have, especially as it relates to Zack Greinke," Garfinkel told Yahoo! Sports. "I was out of line and I apologize.

"Obviously, I don't condone fighting and I wish it wouldn't have happened. You never want to see any player get hurt."
