The 2012 Official MLB Baseball Thread (Mother's basement edition)

YUUUUUUUUUUUUU

Although he let Giambi mash a ball he left over the plate, he looked pretty dominant at times
 
Today is the first time I've been able to test streaming MLB.tv live through my Roku. I had low expectations, but it's actually working really well. Quality is very good considering it's connected to wifi and not ethernet. Haven't had any lags and only audio problems a couple times.

Now I just hope they work on the UI. The menus look amateurish.
 
Ooh, last years 4th outfield darling for the Rays is out 4-5 months - no Fuld magic this season.
 
Good, even after he started sucking against everyone else he killed the sawx.
 
Tigers optioned Andy Oliver today, back to his third stint with the Toledo Mud Hens.

Since Jacob Turner is out of the hunt now (tendonitis), the 5th starter spot is up between Drew Smyly and Duane Below. I think Smyly has better stuff and better control, but Below is the more experienced player, so he's probably got the edge now.

Smyly will be the 5th starter. He was cruising along today in his start for a while (four 1-hit innings on an insanely low PC) and then he got nailed in the 5th. Then again, the tigers put up a 7-spot in the 2nd inning. If you do that often, I guess it doesn't much matter who your starter is.
 
Frediot begged the brass to give SPARK PLUG Jose Constanza the final spot on the roster and got his wish.

More like 2 weeks until Chipper is back. I don't think you'll see much of him now that the book is out on the "everybody in" defense to take his pound it in the dirt for an infield hit approach away.
 
I have not been following this thread so forgive me if this has been covered but...

The biggest upgrade of the season BY FAR is the Nats moving from this:

HEYOOOOOO! The season is a success.
 
The hour-long piece on Game 162 is on ESPN2 now until 9
 
That was incredible. A day and experience I'll never forget

You were at the Orioles game, right?

I had some Red Sox friends ask if I wanted to go but I couldn't not watch the Rays, game, too. Rewatching that, I remember the entire night quite vividly. Once Longoria hit that home run, I literally just ran down my street yelling. Such a natural high.
