7LineFan Posted April 21, 2012 Share #126 Posted April 21, 2012 Philip Humber just pitched a perfect game for the White Sox out in Seattle. I have never cheered so hard for a team other than the Yankees. Good for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JubaionBx12+SBS Posted April 21, 2012 Share #127 Posted April 21, 2012 A day to remember in the majors. A perfect game was pitched by Humber (if only Chicago can get consistent pitching throughout the season) and the Red Sox give up a 9-0 lead against the Yankees in what has the potential to be a last place year for Boston at this rate.

Grand Concourse Posted April 22, 2012 Share #128 Posted April 22, 2012 Philip Humber just pitched a perfect game for the White Sox out in Seattle. I have never cheered so hard for a team other than the Yankees. Good for him. Surprising how he was one of the players dealt by the Mets for Santana. I never thought he was going to pan out, but this is fantastic. Also what's more sad is this should've been the 23rd Perfect game. Mussina's near perfect game had he got one more strike against f'ing Carl Everrett. And of course that Galarraga [Tigers] botched by the 1st base ump's call that cost him a perfect game. Is he even around? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grand Concourse Posted April 22, 2012 Share #130 Posted April 22, 2012 Yeah, very true. oh nm about Galeraga. From wiki: seems like Baltimore released him early this month. Seems like whatever shot he had with that game disappeared. Sucks to be him. On the Pineda shoulder saga, seems like another setback. OH noes... but from what I've read on some baseball sites, it seems Montero is having an 'ok' season. Could be in part due to being a catcher and in a pitcher's park..

GojiMet86 Posted April 22, 2012 Share #131 Posted April 22, 2012 Weird, the last White Sox perfect game was caught by former Met Ramon Castro, and now a former Met pitcher Philip Humber pitches one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alejr88 Posted April 22, 2012 Share #132 Posted April 22, 2012 Can't judge a trade too soon either on Michael Pineda and Jesus Montero. Noesi hasn't pitched well even if it's only three games. Jose Campos (cousin of Alcides Escobar and former big leaguer Kelvim Escobar) is the other player not mentioned in the Pineda trade. He's in Low A Charleston and might be ready for the show in 3-4 years barring injury and inneffectiveness. He's really good, check out his stats Small Sample and all: http://www.milb.com/..._pbp&pid=553883 and he also has a cousin on the Giants' farm system who is good also, Edwin Escobar.

Grand Concourse Posted April 22, 2012 Share #133 Posted April 22, 2012 Yeah, true. I've been reading about Campos and he may be the real plus from the trade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alejr88 Posted April 22, 2012 Share #134 Posted April 22, 2012 Would like to say congrats to A.J. Burnett on picking up his first win as a Pirate. 7 shutout innings with 7 K's is pretty good against the Cardinals. It's April guys, remember that Burnett ALWAYS pitched great in April. His inconsistency will arrive soon enough even though I'm rooting for him except when he faces the Yankees. Does anybody think Matt Kemp will be 50-50 this year? Already has 9 home runs. I guess he's right, Beastmode never sleeps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As soon as the final papers(should be done by May 1)giving Magic Johnson's ownership group, the Dodgers need to sign Mr. Kemp to long term deal. And no i don't mean the idiotic AROD or "King Albert" 8-10 year contracts either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shortline Bus Posted April 22, 2012 Author Share #138 Posted April 22, 2012 Dumb Question guys. Did Fox go away from the Yanks/Red Sox game to show the Perfect game from Seattle and show to the entire country? I was out the whole day. FYI. Good call by Dave Sims a former WFAN-AM host and now MLB on FOX/Mariners Broadcaster and during NFL season CBS/Westwood One Radio Announcer. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZBYUnh2mTRA&feature=related Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shortline Bus Posted April 25, 2012 Author Share #140 Posted April 25, 2012 After winning last night the Yanks lose to Darvish and the Rangers of Texas 2-0. This is only 2nd time i seen Darvish(other time was couple of years back picthing for Japan vs. the US in world baseball classic)and if he stays healthy this guy is the real deal.

alejr88 Posted April 25, 2012 Share #141 Posted April 25, 2012 Great pitching duel overall, too bad the Yankees couldn't give Kuroda any support especially with the way Yu was dealing out there. What can you do against that guy? Just tip him the cap and go get them Rangers tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grand Concourse Posted April 25, 2012 Share #142 Posted April 25, 2012 At least Kuroda gave up just 2. And Yankees usually don't do well against someone they never saw before, so I'll save my comments about Darvish for the next time they meet.

Texas comes to town for a four game set in mid-August. And that's it. If Kuroda can keep making starts like this we'll have three consistent starters now that CC seems to have settled down.

Grand Concourse Posted April 25, 2012 Share #144 Posted April 25, 2012 Yup, I was a bit worried about him, but so far he's worth the $10 mil. I was never concerned with CC either, he and Texiera tend to have bad Aprils and tend to get better in May. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B35 via Church Posted April 25, 2012 Share #145 Posted April 25, 2012 And Yankees usually don't do well against someone they never saw before..... hah.... Only a Yankee fan would know that.... That's been the caveat with them since the 90's..... I don't worry about the "big name" pitchers when they come to face the Yankees, b/c they usually handle them.... It's the rookie starters (or otherwise some pitcher yankee scouts, etc. don't have near as much detailed info on) that tend to give them trouble.....

Shortline Bus Posted April 25, 2012 Author Share #146 Posted April 25, 2012 Guys little off topic for second. With Ichiro and now likely leading candaite Darvish winning or will win MLB rookie of the years should guys who played in Japan or other "high level' international baseball leagues be allowed to win it? The Japan Major League is basically "Triple A/Low level North American MLB" so the guys are not rookies compared to someone who came up the traditional way via AAA or AA US minors? I know Jackie Robinson and other former Negro League stars won rookie of the years as older man in the late 1940's/early 50's but that was a different situation.

Losing Michael Pineda hurts, but what can you do. The Andy Pettitte signing looms large now since Pineda will be gone for the season. At least other than Pettitte, there's AAA depth. Sometimes I wonder if Cole Hamels does become a free agent and goes to the Yankees, one can dream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
