I was thinking the exact same thing.
I was wondering if he got that scratch below his eye fighting with his boyfriend.

Well, that dude somehow perfect game'd one of the best offenses in baseball.
So it could be worse.
Also, the A’s once won 100 games and lost the division by 16. So LOL.

What string offense were they up against?
I’m just hoping Wade didn’t want to show Houston anything on defense since they play them week 3 (I think). The offense looked so putrid.

I told the people I was with that it wasn’t just a pitching change for this game. It was a pitching change for the rest of the season.

Don't anyone judge me, but we found it on CraigsList.
My parents got an entirely new bedroom set about two months ago and gave us their old one, which includes a king-sized bed frame and headboard/footboard. My wife and I sleep on a queen-sized bed, and we haven’t had the money to buy a new bed with new sheets/comforter/etc.
So I was poking around today on CraigsList and found a guy selling “Brand-new” king-sized mattress and box sets for like $350. All of them were name brands. I was intrigued, so I called him to find out what the deal was. He said they were ordered for a bunch of model homes and never used, and he wanted to get rid of them.
Aquawife and I loaded up to go see them in Cedar Hill at the address the guy gave us and pulled up in front of a falling-down house where the guy met us on the street and said the mattresses were in a storage room up the road behind this factory-looking building.
We did not go see them.

I have no faith in Harden but I do have faith that Holland can do good maybe great things for the rest of the season.

LSJ is right.
Andrus has really been fairly bad since June rolled around. He definitely isn’t a top of the order hitter now.

The elite walk rate
we were all so excited about early in the year has been pretty average since May. But after a terrible July slump his on base pct. has been above average in August.
Freude schöner Götterfunken, Tochter aus Elysium, Freude!
His walk rate is actually at it's lowest for any month of the year though
His LD rate is also at a low and his GB% has reached a new high. His August wOBA is .292.
In terms of wOBA we’ve basically had the equivalent of 2009 Salty leading off for three months. And I really don’t want to see that in the playoffs.
I don’t always have sex with men…but when I do, I prefer Josh Hamilton. - AJM
Without the elite walk rate
his complete lack of power really shows up.
He really is a guy you’d rather see near the bottom of the order now, unfortunately, there are lots of guys in this lneup who have looked like bottom of the order types lately.
"Look, we're basically on earth to shit and fuck. So unless your job's to help people shit or fuck, it's not that important, so relax."-https://twitter.com/shitmydadsays
I kind of agree with this.
Kins seems more disciplined at the plate this year, more like a lead off hitter than last year.
It also proves that Michael Young had a terrible month.
Only slightly better than Julio Borbon, actually.
But he’s hitting second for this team and is totally safe in that position.

So he sucks and you want him replaced at 3B?
I agree with a lot of people that his defense sucks. And it looks like he’s had a bad month from what you posted. But he’s still a decent hitter and probably well liked/respected in the clubhouse (and yes, I know there are no metrics for leadership). Don’t understand all the vitriol here for MY.

Yeah
there was an article a few days ago which talked about how he’s adjusting his stance to avoid lunging into pitches and has been doing so since he got to Spokane.
It takes a longer time for college players to adjust to wood, especially for a guy with so many adjustments to make like Mike Olt. Still, it’s good to see him getting hot.

Are there reports talking up his power? He’s got like a .160 ISO as a (freshly turned) 22 year old in the NWL.
Yeah

The adjustment to wood bats could be part of the reason.
I wish I could get on the Hoying-wagon, but the pre-draft reports were very negative about his long-term outlook.

Well, "Guess what MY does the best?" was the reason for that response.
I know he has flaws on defense. I don’t judge the GIDP as harshly as others. I’m from the camp that says that happens to guys who hit the ball solid on a consistent basis.
'Waiting for a girl and she gets me into fights
Waiting for a girl we get drunk on Friday night'
Be that as it may
GIDPs are the most devestating thing to an offensive inning. Like ever. The ability to avoid GIDP is what makes Carl Crawford, for example, a very valuable player (a part anyways, obviously Carl is qutie good at a lot of things).
Michael young GIDPs and that frustrates the fuck out of me.
"If the Saints can reach the Superbowl, the Rangers can reach the World Series." - PhilKid
The Animated Ballpark in Arlington
I don't think Firebat thinks he's a bad player because of it. He thinks he's frustrating to watch.
Because he is.
That's fine. And I understand that.
Conversely, I don’t think everyone here hates him. I just think there’s a lot of irrationality where MY is concerned.
'Waiting for a girl and she gets me into fights
Waiting for a girl we get drunk on Friday night'
That tends to come with the territory on more hardcore internet circles when a player usually gets overrated by the non-hardcore.
You’ll find Yankees boards who are very intelligent and very, very critical of Derek Jeter as a sort of cathartic backlash.
Yeah, I get really pissed at him
But I also tried to buy a limited edition litho of him at the game tonight…the only thing that stopped me was that I had to come pick up “my copy” M-F between 9 and 5. I kinda live far away, and that was enough to dissuade me…combined with the price.
"I support you, Wash; I’ve always supported you," Young said
"Back on the scene, with a gangsta lean" RW
It's actually pretty sad, because at one point it looked like it might be the best season of his career.
There wasn’t a whole lot of indication of over-performance and he was on pace for something in the range of 4.5-5 wins in value. He’s had one hell of a slump.
Sort of like the other old guy in the order.
One consequence, perhaps
of the roster construction and the injury to Kinsler. Young needs more time off more often.
Freude schöner Götterfunken, Tochter aus Elysium, Freude!
Yet another reason why subbing Blanco for him defensively in the late innings would be a good idea
Less innings for him to play.
I don’t always have sex with men…but when I do, I prefer Josh Hamilton. - AJM
I just don't understand...
in a game where the entire offense gets 3 hits and Harden can’t finish 5 innings in front of a sellout crowd against a divisional opponent, MY gets hate.
Cause he blew the impending 6 run rally in the 9th.
'Waiting for a girl and she gets me into fights
Waiting for a girl we get drunk on Friday night'
And he doesn't take ball 4
that’s also very frustrating. MY is like the perfect storm of fan frustration. It’s actually quite impressive.
"If the Saints can reach the Superbowl, the Rangers can reach the World Series." - PhilKid

Coincidentally, (and I'm not arguing with anybody here, just stating something I've been thinking about)

That's my point.
If you want to get mad at Face for being a high-volume ground ball hitter, that’s fine. But I’ll take a ~45% ground ball rate if it means .301/.348/.451. You’re going to get a high number of GIDPs as a result, but it’s not his fault.
Whether or not his slash line makes up for it is for somebody with a better understanding of statistics than I.
by Past A Diving Michael Young on Aug 28, 2010 10:08 PM CDT up reply actions
Interestingly, the high number of GIDPs coincides with a below-average BABIP this month.

lots of people
after all, this line was actually written above
in the next 1-3 years, MY will regress to the point where he’ll be in the conversation for Worst Player in Baseball.
Go Rice Owls!
Do you agree with that above posted statement my JBlmaknee?
Because it seems like a lot of posters here do.
How good is MY?
He’s a mediocre to bad fielder and a good to very good hitter. He’s an above average player at 3b, even with the fielding, but he certainly isn’t among the best in the game or anything. He’s undoubtedly overpaid… but a lot of baseball players are overpaid.
A lot of people here – I’m not saying you – act like they’d DFA him if they had the opportunity. That his fielding is so bad, that it offsets all his value at the plate and more. This absolutely ridiculous notion going around that his GIDP rate defines him as an awful ballplayer.
Young is overrated by the common fan, and unreasonably hated by a certain demographic that posts at LSB. Would I prefer Adrian Beltre or Evan Longoria over Young – that’s a silly question. But would I prefer to have Miguel Tejada, or Casey Blake, or Jose Lopez, or Brandon Inge, or any number of other third basemen? Or ARod and his salary that costs twice Young’s? No.
Go Rice Owls!
Ill take that claim if you want me to
a 3B playing terrible defense with a .349 wOBA….yeah, i dont think hes that good
he is a solid player but he doesnt quite make it to good at this point
he still hacks too much and doesnt get on base enough as well
his best season ever he had a WAR of 4.2
MYs best attribute is likely the fact that he is very reliable
Josey Wales is stupid
I would absolutely call him good.
If he sucked for the rest of the season it would still be an above-average year. He’s on pace to be somewhere right between All-Star caliber and mediocre, which is what I’d call good.
The frustration comes with how he plays and how most of that value came in the first half of the season and then it tailed off.
Heres the biggest problem....
What is defined as good?
it is a moving target and everyone is going to view it differently
i also think there is the question of whether or not you take MYs contract into account for valuing him as a player….and obviously his contract will make anyone sour on him
Josey Wales is stupid
I don't think people actually believe he's turned in to a DP machine.
I think they are very frustrated by the fact that it happens a lot.
That's a good point
since it’s been reiterated on here a bunch about hitting with RiSP is a useless stat.
It depends on...
if you think a bunch of GIDPs is anti-clutch. Clutch is more situation within the game based rather than just someone is on base and the batter failed.

Talent wise, I think the Cowboys.
But it’s pretty close. Close enough an easier schedule could put the Packers in homefield and the Super Bowl without much of a surprise at all.
The Saints are also in there. And the Vikings. And I will also throw up the Falcons for contention.
I think
both the Cowboys and Packers are overrated at this point given the state of their offensive lines. Neither have defensive lines that are that great either, but given they’re 3-4, it hardly matters beyong the NT.

I don't think anyone in the NFC is clearly better than a 10 win team.
A couple of them will be, but I’m not at all confident in who it is.
I don't see

Fair enough.
And I actually agree except for the Colts. Without extreme bad luck or poor health, I’ll take them to win at least 11 pretty comfortably.

may not be tops in the league but they’ll be able to go 6-7 deep without missing much of anything this season. that’s important

I like the Saints, but who knows how SB success will change them. Don’t think Favre can repeat the magic (maybe because I loathe the guy). I was thinking Dallas until tonight’s game (I know it’s preseason, but the offense has looked terrible. Hopefully they’re holding back).

Bates might not have had a place on offense or defense, but he was a monster on special teams before coaches started treating special teams as a separate 3rd phase. You don’t get to be a huge fan fav by not being that good. Didn’t he make Pro Bowls as a special teamer?

maybe because he kinda looked like the Goonies creature.
It’s so hard to compare players from these 2 sports, especially since Bates’ effects were on special teams. I don’t think Mench got any special recognition/awards in the league. Bates made the Pro Bowl (I believe the 1st year they had a special teams position, just for him) and was also selected All Pro in ’84.

Colorado is winning 5-1 in the 9th. As I type this, Barajas hits a home run to make it 5-3.
Giants are getting killed. Rays and Yankees both won. Phillies won. Cardinals got destroyed, Braves won. Reds lost.
So the AL East stays tied. Braves keep a two game lead in the NL East. Reds stay up four in the central. San Fran will fall two back of the Phillies for the WC, tied with St. Louis, and the Rockies will pull back to within 4 (and three in the loss column).
Watch those Rockies

Josey Wales is stupid
EG with an article on Frankie and the Rangers' bullpen
He is essentially saying that the Rangers have the 3rd best pen of today’s playoff teams and that they cannot afford to lose Frankie.
The Rangers have five weeks left to wrap up the AL West and to get Francisco healthy. They really only need him to be back and pitching for a week before the playoffs to feel comfortable, but he’s also a guy with a slow-healing history.
I think they can afford to lose Frankie BECAUSE they are one of the best pens.

Game was blegh. Girlfriend (Mets fan) and mutual friend of ours (O’s fan) seemed to enjoy it, though.
Well that sucked...
can this team finally be done with Harden now though? No more excuses please. He’s just bad a pitching now.
Holland should be the 5th starter going forward.

He's teased us with a few good starts of late
And I’ve tried to buy into it, too. But I think it’s time to realize that until he reels off four or five in a row, that’s all it is. It’s a lost year for him, bottom line.

OT: It was no Suite Night
but I went and saw Joe Ely at Dan’s Silver Leaf tonight: really good show. Not a guitar player; obviously a song-writer, but very entertaining. I like his stuff pretty well, but he also played a lot of Jimmy Dale Gilmore and closed with a Townes Van Zandt song. So, if you ever see Joe Ely playing near you, I can recommend it as a good time.

That would be an awesome show
Joe was playing what looked like a custom semi-hollow Dean with a single lipstick pickup that gave it a great half-electric half-acoustic country rocking sound. And his ‘band’ tonight was just a percussionist sitting and drumming on a wooden box with only a high-hat and a tambourine taped to his foot. I love a set with character, and this has plenty of it.

Sigh guess we got bad Rich tonight...
Wish I was surprised and I was really pulling for him. But enough is enough, wonder if they gave him yet another chance or this is it. And the A’s are a scary team with this pitching if they can upgrade their offense. I want to Rangers to keep being aggressive in the offseason if we can’t sing Lee then go for the next best pitcher whomever that is imo. If unsatisfied with what’s out there then go after a Dunn, Beltre etc. I like Moreland but not completely sold on him yet need to see more.
So Edinson Volquez gets moved to the pen for being terrible coming back from elbow surgery.
That trade’s looking better and better…

yeah...that game wasnt too exciting
I was in section 124 for the game, wish i couldve been in the suite
Josey Wales is stupid
But you know what's looking worse?
The Cowboys. I know I shouldn’t worry, but the offense hasn’t done jack shit this preseason. And our safety position is down right bad right now. Offensive and D-Lines have been somewhat less than impressive as well.

What an odd smashing/crashing evening...I know I will not sleep too much
From this goddess signing great jazz,
And just for something completely different, I am going to fire up “Crank:DC” right now, heh.

Why so?
I was jamming some nice jazz.
I like Statham, early stuff.
I’ve moved on to BLS now, anyway.

WTF
So, worst sports night in a while. That was brutal.
After I washed the bad taste out of my mouth, I went to a party and met a tall, very pretty, extremely friendly girl who happens to looooove Regina Spektor. Who is my favorite artist. And I got her number. And we’re meeting this week.
There’s a god.

Not rec worthy but I like it
Sometimes I press CTRL+F and type in "Josey Wales" just to see if he made a stupid statement.

I soloed in the Mile High Club!

to differentiate between all our creepy-looking guys.

who are these people?
Is one of those dudes Rodney Randy? I thought he was a black dude.
Bub you have a helluva man beard.
This shit ain't over til Bengie Molina sings.
Spotting saminsocal...
and his wife is like playing a game of “Which one of these is not like the others” from Sesame Street.

I’m guessing that that is Greg (gthd) in the front with the stripes and Ben in the back
corner? But besides that that’s all I got except Bub and Sam & wife. The guy next to “possible Ben” has a great beard, it suits him.

Sam is gorgeous.
