    Big Dan's Thursday Talkin' Bases Thread

    BigDan is painting a house right now but will return later.

    i'm on Tribe/Red Sox under, also like Tribe ML a bit.

    lean under in TOR/TB and TEX/DET, trying to decide on those right now.

    was leaning MIN/LAA over but Haren now starting for Chatwood may nix that idea.

    feel free to weigh in with your thoughts, i will be in and out all day.

    whoa, Wade Davis and JP Howell in the same inning. that's enough to make an under backer grab his chest.

    what up everyone?

    Biff thanx for starting the thread

    just got out da shower so i still havnt looked at anything, initial reactions would be 1st off im really not excited about this card..... 2nd is cle/bos under and nyy/cws under both look decent at 1st glance but my totals have terrible this week, cle also seems tempting but it always scare me a little to get behind a popular dog. think i gotta look more at phi/sf and possibly chc/pit as i wouldnt mind backing Buccos to avoid the always embarrassing 4 gm sweep from the scrubbies..

    what's up, Big Dan. split the afternoon, won Rangers but lost TOR/TB under in extra innings. BOS/CLE under on tap. leans i'm considering adding a couple from this list:

    Pirates -1
    NYY/CWS under 9
    PHI/SF under 6 (could have wind gusts 15-20 mph to CF, though, so may have to pass on that one)
    Cards ML
    Nats ML
    Tribe ML (probably will pass since i already have 4* on the under)

    w/o looking id say Materson can handle Bos and even tho i dont trust Bedard all the time he is a lefty and we talking bout Tribe.

    im passing on stl for a few days i think. If fla wasnt so bad at home i would prob look to take them, gotta look at their pitcher more cause honestly i dont know shit about him...

    thanks for the thoughts. i'm a Tribe fan, so while i appreciate the sentiment, i'm well in touch with the fact that no team is as capable of losing on any day as the Tribe.

    not to mention Loshe is starting to round back into his fade mode of last season b4 he got shut down and had the surgery...honestly Cards are perfectly capable with their backup catchers imho (luv yadi dont get me wrong, just feel like Laird and the other kid both solid)...Only 2 things keeping me off Fish atm is they suck at home and i really dont know anything about Hensley so if anyone has a good scouting report it would be appreciated as im pretty behind today..

    Bruce Dreckman - covers.com/pageLoader/pageLoader.aspx?page=/data/mlb/umpires/2011/umpire8394.html

    hes basically the typical umpire, if look over the past 5 seasons, his numbers are pretty average, he doesnt favour the over or under really...

    bad spot for Boston with the Yanks coming to town tomorrow. Indians have pitching edge and once bedard hits 80 pitches andrew miller will be coming in.

    Like the Tribe tonight...gonna take them on the alternate runline. If they do actually win I don't think it will be by just 1 run.

    Also Pirates gonna get a win tonight, taking them -1

    Giants also looking good...Phillies due for a loss and its the world series champs as a home dog vs a pitcher they hit well in a spot where everybody is doubting them...

    SF has by far this season turned into one of my fav teams to bet on or against as seems everyone bails on them at the wrong times and talks about their offense yet then when it a terrible spot the masses love them for some reason. I havnt got far on this gm yet but soon as i saw them as dogs i started considering them as they to damn good at home to be dogs me thinks. need bout 30 more min and il know for sure what im doing...


    almost posative ill take Buccos-1 blindly just cause i cant buy a 4 gm sweep by the cubs. prob less than solid capping and squarer than hell but still sounds pretty damn reasonable.

    Tribe just fall in the category of a real popular dog and i hate that, cant say im not tempted to back Masterson at this price but if Biff likes the under that much that is prob where i will be....

    your right, Tribe is a popular dog over one of the more popular teams to bet on in baseball. Just steering clear of the Yanks and the Red Sox tonight.

    If anything tribe -1.5 +230 tonight, if they do win I doubt it will be by just 1 run.

    Pirates -1 and Giants are my two favorite plays for tonight...

    Well I'm going for the worst game on card tonight...Royals -133. Francis looked half way decent against Cleveland last time out. Britton has been rocked lately so going with KC
    Good luck tonight everyone

    I played Royals O 9. Might chase Redsox on RL again(3rd time is the charm) or maye just there TT O 4.5. Also like Stl and Rockies Over but still deciding. Not nuts about this card tonight either. Pitt should win but Ill be damned if I pay -150 for a team that has only won 1 of there last 9 games. (Maybe the under there but its dropped a whole run)
