MLB All-Star Vote

Let's get Altuve, Springer, & Correa there. You know Verlander and at least 1 or 2 more pitchers will be.

The Milkman said:
in addition to Yuli's WAR being 0.7, Marwin's is 0.3. Neither of this guy's "stats" are anywhere remotely close to true.
Yeah, just doing a quick sort of ESPN's WAR (because I still can't figure out how to view baseball-reference's WAR outside of the top 10 players), over 200 batters have a negative WAR this year. Granted, a lot of those guys have less than 10 PAs but it's still very obvious TayTrox has no clue what he's talking about.
Just so you don't have the Baseball Reference problem in the future:

Two-month Power Rankings

Quote:
2. Houston Astros
And yet you could still make a case for the Astros at no. 1, too. Houston's run differential, a league-best plus-123, dwarfs Boston's plus-89. Despite playing to just a 35-22 record thus far, the Astros' Pythagorean record is 42-15, better than a 119-win pace. Marwin Gonzlez's struggles and a couple of noisy bullpen implosions feel like the Matrix correcting for an anomalyif the Astros were really 42-15, we'd start to suspect our world was a simulation, so they needed to hit a couple of banana peels to dampen suspicion.


Quote:
24. Texas Rangers
The Rangers are allowing 5.31 runs per game, third most in MLB, but the Rangers and Astros together are allowing just 4.07 runs per game, less than the MLB average of 4.39 runs per game, despite both teams playing in the American League. Are the Rangers good at run prevention? No, but Texas is.

Whitley threw three innings of a simulated game earlier this week and is scheduled to toss another one, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Whitley, whose 50-game suspension lapsed May 29, is building up his arm strength after he suffered a latissimus strain a couple of weeks ago that delayed his throwing program. After the next simulated game, the organization will huddle up to determine if any further arm buildup is required before he's shipped off to Double-A Corpus Christi.

Very surprised Cionel Perez didn't crack the top 100. Cuban LHP at Corpus has been mowing down opposing batters this year. Hitting 96-97 on the gun. Starting to wonder if he might be part of our "lefty" solution later this year.

Just an abysmal swing by Correa but another first inning run so we'll take it!

Yeah, don't see too many wild pitches that advance runners 2 bases.

...and a swinging bunt by Yuli plates another one.

I'm of the opinion that if you're going to have replay, why not make everything up for replay?

It should be that way in basketball too.

Sale threw 34 pitches in the first...

JD Davis Ks in 3 pitches and marwin pops out on one pitch. Pathetic.

Blue is squeezing it big time. That's several times that Cole has looked unhappy with Cuzzi.

Looking at Sale so far this season... He has a great ERA like normal, but he seems to give up homeruns pretty regularly, at least 1 HR given up in 8 of his last 10 starts. Also he got shelled in his last outing vs Atlanta. 4.1 IP, 5 H, 6 ER, 3 BB, 1 HR.

This is 2 rough starts in a row... this one looks a lot like his last start.
