I don't have a problem with Puig being in. I think it's warranted given how much he did in that month. One note about it is that the season is 3 months old, not 2.
Woodruff wrote:Of a season that's only been two months long, I would point out. While that is a significant difference (double the at-bats), it also shows that he has done it for a significant length of time.


Anyway, the important thing to talk about is that the Cardinals only got 5 people on the All Star Team. No Rosenthal or Mujica? Ridiculous. Both are beasts.

by the Rangers last month in St. Louis.

I'm pretty sure that if he made the roster, about 80% of the league is injured.

I think neitzche is the other one.

And I was at Saturday's game with the Adams home run (with curtain call) and the walk-off error. :mrgreen:

That error was unreal...you NEVER see that kind of a play in the Major Leagues.

No, I don't think he realized at all. He was probably drinking.

Now you have me imagining pitcher wind ups and deliveries
made like Cricket Bowlers.

In the Rangers/Astros game the other day there were 2 outs, bases empty and a routine infield pop up towards right field. The Houston first baseman backs up about three steps, reaches up with one hand to make the easy catch and the ball bounces out of his glove. Beltre steps up to the plate and rips a two run shot into the right field seats.

As of last night, the Phillies were hitting .189 with the bases loaded... last in baseball. First in baseball? The Atlanta Braves at .390.

As of last night, the Phillies, Nationals, and Braves all had the same record in the last 43 (?) games. What's that saying about pennants can't be won in April but they can be lost in April. Not that I have an illusions about the Phillies doing anything, but still...

However, the Phillies are batting .302 as a team in the month of July and hit at a .274 pace in June. So they're definitely doing far better of late than they were early on.

The Braves are still gonna take it to the NL East. Gattis returns soon, and he is a beast in the limited amount of time he plays. If only they got rid of BJ or Heyward and pulled him into the OF permanently. Trade Heyward away for some promising 3B help, and let him wilt away somewhere else. Maybe Texas can send Olt over for him. That'd be nice.

Seems unlikely... More likely scenario: Chipper comes out of retirement.

Freeman beat Puig in the final vote thing.

A lot of hate for Puig only because the fans wanted him in the All-Star game, not his fault. But he actually cooled off a bit, the one who is batting over .400 now is Hanley Ramirez (who was also in my fantasy team).

Maybe part of the Puig hate is because he's kind of a douchebag too...

He's arrogant and add to that that he probably didn't know who Juan Gonzalez was until Mcwgire intervened. and after that he was probably embarrased and left no way out but to keep acting arrogant, although the article didn't say what happened after Mcwgire's intervention.

The reason I'm sort of defending him is because it's obvious that arrogance is part of his game, if he wasn't this arrogant he'd be still in Cuba.

There are other current Cuban players that aren't like him. Like Aroldis Chapman and Yoenis Cespedes.

Also, it was Luis Gonzalez, not Juan. But, both were good. I remember that the Cardinals signed Juan Gonzalez at the very end of his career to see if he could still play. He couldn't. That was his last attempt at a spring training.

Yeah, my bad, Juan "Igor" Gonzalez was Cuban, but not Luis Gonzalez.
