MLB Daily Thread: 04/10/2015: Resistance is Futile

[TDs3nOut]

6 IP & 4 ER

I think that would be pretty encouraging.

Why does LA get a stupid day off? I wanted to pick AGon for my pickems and Beat the Streak to jinx his ass!

Sounds about right. If he can last 6.

Local Cubs Broadcast Intro Is Just A Disaster

When I looked at the scoreboard at espn.com this morning, none of the games today showed that they were national telecasts. Turns out, however, that MLB Net is showing Mets at Nats, which features Harvey against Strasburg.

Giants at Padres also on MLB Net tonight. Huddy v. Kennedy :shudders:

 

[HammerDown]

Adrian is on fire indeed!

 

[HammerDown]

Interesting. The number of Tommy John surgeries by team.

 

[HammerDown]

Average fastball velocity (mph) for five starting pitchers and five relief pitchers who had Tommy John surgery

 

[HammerDown]

Most innings pitched following Tommy John surgery (all active pitchers)

Average fastball velocity (mph) for five starting pitchers and five relief pitchers who had Tommy John surgery

Huh...the only pattern emerging here is that softer-tossing pitchers actually gain velocity, while hard throwers lose anywhere from 1-4 MPH. Wonder what the scale looks like for all surgery recipients?

Adrian Gonzalez is on pace to hit 270 home runs this season? That's like Barry Bonds on steroids!!!

It's just about SHOWTIME in the Nation's Capital: Harvey v Strasburg!

Let's see if there is a game thread...

@HammerDown how are you recovering after your TJ surgery? Able to fap at the same velocity as before?

I lost few SPM (strokes per minute) but I have been feeling pretty good after mine.

Oakland's "No-Name" lineup looking skrong. 2 MLB debuts last night....4-8 with 5 RBI's between Canha and Ladendorf.

Who?

and who?

 

[TDs3nOut]

Harvey has 3 Ks through two innings. Hitting 96-97 mph on fastball. Took a great play be David Wright to save a second inning run, though, and Harvey has thrown 40 pitches.

 

[TDs3nOut]

Desmond error and Stra hits Duda to load the bases with Mets with one out in third. Cuddyer hit puts Mets up 1-0.
