I love that this wbc feud between Raleigh and Arozarena is going to carry into the season…mariners season crumbling before it begins! For the record, I wouldn't have shaken his hand either..in the heat of competition I have no friends


I really think they should both request a trade. It's too hostile.

One can go to the Rockies or something and the other should go to Houston (Raleigh).


No thanks…Raleigh would come here and turn into Abreu/Walker

So…he needs to squash the sinker and stick to 4 seamers.

They'll get over it together with a chicken and rice dinner

Arroz con Raleigh?

Probably didn't help that Aroz got hit on the elbow during one of his ABs with Raleigh behind the plate.


The chicken and rice is always tastier when sauteed in HGH

If my search is correct, Lance only threw 4 pitches 94.0 and above last season. He topped out at 94.7. Today, he's already thrown 5 with a max of 94.8. Not a bad sign.

Maybe. On the other hand, Nolan Ryan had the same surgery in September 1975 and led the league in Ks in 1976. Maybe don't use LMJ's surgeon...

Nolan probably performed the surgery himself on his ranch using a cattle brand.

Probably heated up a pocket knife over a campfire (barehanded) and then used a calf gut loop held tight with his teeth for a tournaquet. Had Phil Garner rub a little dirt in it at deer camp to help it heal up properly.

We could easily turn Nolan into Chuck Norris with some quality stories/memes

I am pretty sure that Chuck Norris credits getting hit in the head by a newspaper thrown by Nolan in the pre-dawn hours one morning as the first step in toughening Chuck up for the rigors he would face later in life.

He had a no hitter going, they lifted him in the 6th because the opposing team got a hit. It was a cheap bloop single.

Actually, a comebacker to the mound and Nolan stood his ground and told the ball to go around. It did.

Roddery Munoz might end up being the "who the hell is that guy" that seems unhittable in the 6th and 7th inning out of the bullpen. That slider he spams generates a lot of swing and misses. And he's been able to do without a ton of walks this spring.

Then Nolan stared at the press box until the scorekeeper agreed to call it an error

The scorekeeper also later wrote a mostly fictional story about a rogue pitcher titled "Conveniently Wild...with Plausible Deniability". Nolan wrote him a nice note in the Forward.

Walk off sac fly to center on a 2-2 count to Tyler Whitaker. Bang bang play at home but good slide by pinch runner James Nelson.

Baby Stros get it done

With that little league play on the potential double play by the pitcher, looks more like low A

Bregman should have hit instead of Henderson.

Just got home from Daikin. What a great atmosphere! PCA hyped the ballpark up like crazy.
No one around us trusted Judge. We were begging for a walk so Schwarber could get an AB

Just got home as well. Amazing atmosphere.

It was fun until it wasn't. Then it was fun again until it wasn't.

I also want to apologize and eat some crow on wanting DeRosa to be the skipper here. I get that he's in a tough spot with having to make sure all of the pitchers get the work their teams require, but that lineup was rough tonight. Especially in a game you had to have to punch your ticket.

Oh yeah, I saw it. And I heard him address it as "misspoke when I was talking to some buddies" at the post game presser.

Not a good look at all. I'd like a real manager next time, please.

that's nuts. If I'm looking at it correctly, if Italy loses to Mexico in a low scoring game then USA is most likely out. USA has the worst ERA currently, but I didn't bother looking up earned runs per defensive inning yet. Stats for the tie breakers aren't easy to find.
