Game Thread: 8/31 Champs @ doyers

A 20+ HR, 85+ RBI, .800+ OPS SS with GG-level defense?

And he doesn't make it on your ballot?

Who, exactly, is on your ballot?

He's top ten, but he's not a "candidate" as he has zero chance of winning. In tiers, cuz that's how I roll:

Tier I -- the winner, and it's not that close -- Harper
Tier II -- the candidates -- Votto, Goldy
Tier III -- the guys having excellent years, but not in contention -- Pollock, McCutchen, Posey, Bryant, Rizzo
Tier IV -- the solid, AS level guys -- Craw, Grandy, Heyward, Belt, Panik, Frazier, Duffman, Carp.

Posey isn't in contention?! As a catcher?!!

 

[SFGRTB]

As usual, great crowd in LA tonight

 

[SFGRTB]

They waste no time getting their first hit tonight.

 

[tzill]

Posey isn't in contention?! As a catcher?!!

Nope. He's not close to Harper, Votto, or Goldy this year.

 

[msgkings322]

Nope. He's not close to Harper, Votto, or Goldy this year.

Greinke will get votes too. I still contend Craw won't make the top 10. Top 15 yes.

For example some names you didn't even list that should get more votes like AGonz

Cmon Peavy.....do it.....

 

[filosofy29]

Peavy leaves both 3-2 pitches with waaay too much plate. 1-0 bad guys.

 

[tzill]

And Peavy makes his bid for #weaklink....fuck.

 

[tzill]

20 pitches in the first

 

[tzill]

They are NOT making a shitty pitcher work...at all.

sigh.

 

[tzill]

And the Giants concede the SDI to #mediocrity.

 

[filosofy29]

Belt!!!

 

[filosofy29]

Nice thing too is that the mound visit will give Peavy some rest.

 

[filosofy29]

Buster.....still looks fooled when ahead in the count. Timing is off.

 

[1phlapdown]

Some contact would be lovely Marlon.

edit : SWeet. on a pitch way outside, on game day anyway.

Belt:
Gerald:

 

[filosofy29]

Lol, the 17 hopper, infield two rbi rocket to 2B

 

[Sandisfan]

Duffman and Panik with very high baseball IQ...future managerial material?

 

[tzill]

The Byrd ground attack!

3-1 good guys...now, a SDI please, Peaved.
