MLB 2013 Season

These Pirates have been exciting team to watch. Hopefully they don't have a second half breakdown like they have the last two years.

From what I've seen there a scrappy team. I think Pirate fans deserve a winning season. Hopefully they'll start winning AFTER they play the Mets.
 
This is the worst I have seen Kershaw pitch in years. He just does not have it at all.

There are also teams, like the Giants, whom have sold out every game, yet they still have a net loss.

I know. Exactly.

It would be foolish of me to judge McCutchen's talent and success on three games ignoring his whole career, just at it is silly to judge Puig on three games, ignoring all of his other games. Three games in which one concludes he was not impressive, even though he still batted over .400.

No you said we never see him play a single game.


Exactly my point. So many people voted against him by voting for someone else. People that normally probably would not have voted at all. People whom believe he is arrogant, but yet have not seen him play a single game.

I can tell you now after watching every single minute of him playing. He is NOT arrogant. Far from it. He is young, aggressive, immature, and is learning quickly. In fact, I have never seen such progress made in such a short time from any player....ever. If you compare his first week to this last week, the guy has grown more than any player I have ever seen.

Yeah he hit against the Pirates but he only scored once and no RBIs or HRs. YOU are making him out to be the greatest player since Drysdale. I don't post everyday how great the Pirates or any player is.

Yep. In reference to many of those voting, not you specifically. At the sane time, to judge him on only three games is also not a very good indication on how he has done on the whole.

Considering he is batting in the top of the lineup, he isn't going to have many RBI opportunities. Yet, playing 1/3 of the games as McCutchen, he has only one fewer HRs than him.

Making stuff up and telling yourself it is true doesn't make it so. I don't post about him every game, I certainly don't post every AB, just as I never said he was the best anything, particularly better than Drysdale.

I praised how good of a start he has gotten off to, one of the best in history. This is a fact like it or not.

I praised how he has brought life to the team and helped turn them around. This is a fact whether you agree with it or not.

I praised some highlight plays in which he had single game performances that were among the best in Dodger history and very exciting to watch.

I gave credit to the players on the team who have admitted he helped them. This too is a fact.

One can judge him all they want based only 3 games or no games, or what they read in the press. One can dislike him all they want. One can dislike him even more because some stranger on a forum post some things that deserves recognition, or says something on the radio, or reads something about what an opposing player thinks. I don't care. Doing so speaks more of that person judging based on those criteria than Puig himself.

The team as a whole is exciting to watch now. They have improved more than any team in baseball during this time. As a fan I am excited to watch them. I will continue to post about the achievements of my team and how excited I am about it.

The Dodgers will score a lot of runs in many games, but for some reason whenever Kershaw pitches they cannot seem to buy a run.

He must have the worst run support. How else would you explain the pitcher with an ERA under 2, currently the best in baseball, with a record barely above .500?

It also doesn't help that Kershaw is pitching his worst game all year. 3 runs already in 6 innings so far, raising his ERA to exactly 2.

With the kind of arrogance he's been displaying, it's really not surprising that he didn't get the vote.

I think it's less arrogance and more immaturity. No one has ever had to talk to him about to behave until now. I am also sure there is a language barrier as well.

The only thing worse than the media making assumptions about him winning the final vote, is the criticism of Puig. Guys, yes it was rude to ignore Gonzalez. Yes, he goes all out on everything which can annoy the other team. But to compare him to Bonds, Barkley, and others is a bit premature. He is young, from a totally different culture, has not had a chance in the minors to learn about the unwritten rules of the game and how to approach each situation, is under a lot of medial spotlight, and has a lot of learning to do. I have a feeling if he played for your team you would not be so critical.

Heck, if he played for an east coast team, this thread will probably be 10 pages longer than it currently is.

Excellent points.

Well, It looks like Kershaw will get another loss. Didn't pitch well for him.

7 IP
3 ER

Raises his ERA to 1.98

I'm done....I don't want a debate in the sports section, I'll post in the pit if I want to debate, I posted my opinion about a guy who doesn't deserve a ASG appearance and it went from there. I will do you and myself a favor and not post in this thread.
 
Why would Jeter come back?? .. he is done.
One game and re injured. . Call it quits man you've had a long career and its over.

All Star Game ...
6 Tigers ?
Really ?

Cabrera deserves it.
Scherzer deserves it.
Prince .... maybe, probably others ahead of him. (that said, he's not starting)
Peralta deserves it, some say not, but he's playing well in the field and hitting .320's. Some like Hardy better, but you usually get more than 1 per position.
Torii Hunter ... yes he's having a good year, I'm glad he's in Detroit, but the ASG ? Not sure, maybe it's his last go around ?
Justin Verlander, this year ? NO, not in my book... I hope he doesn't pitch, could probably use the break.

Surely you jest. He led the league in at bats and hits last year while hitting .316, and he's under contract for another $8 million for the remainder of this year plus at least a $3 million buyout of next year. David Ortiz missed the first fifteen games this year, played two and had to skip the next, then played one and had to skip the next, but since then, he has been the third most productive offensive player in the American League
