Pimike's 2010 baseball thread!

[shari91]

Congrats on the Braves!!! Isn't it amazing that the thread was a bit more quiet after that win?

Best of luck today!

Mike,

Congrats on Braves win. It is pleasant to not have all the negative on the thread this morning. Have a great day.


It is fitting that my post #100 was to you.

Again no mention of the odds. How likely do you think is a Braves win tonight? They are currently available at -149 (=60%). I'd like to tail your picks as you seem to know your stuff, but I really can't without any explanation whatsoever or at least a word on which prices would be acceptable (i.e have value). And honestly I still can't believe how many of you follow these plays without this information.

You may dead on Brewers may lose 5 more in a row, but I am not willing to bet right just yet. I will pass, if you play it I will try to pull in for you.

Let me crunch some number on this.If something pops out I will post in agreement.

Mahalo Mr.pimike

[trojanman]

really liking the Rays today after an upset loss - what you think Mike?

Wandy almost an auto bet against but then to add to it Rays 14 - 4 against lefties and 17 - 5 on the road gotta believe they hammer Astros today and the juice at 160. Niemann 2.5 era what am i missing - last 5 games Rays have 10/12/15/11/9 hits - last night the problem was 11 left on base - no timely hits but not going to happen against Wandy. I think last night was a letdown from Yankee series but they got a rude wake up and i think today we need to bet Rays with both hands ml and rl.....thoughts?

[Slider612]

Minnisota great interleague record owns NL,Great line up,stronge AL team right now .Think theyll beat Gallardo today then sweep,Brewers have absolutly no reliable pitchers right,i have to go Minnisota today, great value.Maur,Mourneau,Cuddyer,Kubel thats enough for me.GL

Well all those states are correct, however this is baseball and ALL teams even the best have losing streaks. It may not be today you may be right on, but strange things happens in interleague play. So I am staying away. Wandy can be solid at home. If they lose again then it kills my Braves play/profits/whole purpose of getting further ahead on the books.


GUYS, I NEED TO GO BACK TO GIVING AND PLAYING MORE SELECTIVELY!



Braves only play for me.


Whatever else you guys play I'll be rooted for you!

[ukbsktbll]

Like your plan. Sticking with it as well.

[Slider612]

Ive seen in the past the Rays get dominated by lefty pitchers ,i,e Braden,Burle, Wandy is real good when he's on,carefull, it dont help that there not in there own park to.GL

[Slider612]

Mike I like the word selective, reminds me of being at the plate,when i was selective in my pitches to hit i was allways going good. Its when i was swinging at the bad pitches i allways slumped,sometimes u allways find I self swinging at bad pitches just out of immpatience, just to get my average back up.DISIPLINE,think the same think applys.

Valid point

[Slider612]

My batting coach used to preach selective too,said it was the key to succecfull hitting.Wait for yours.Thanks Mike

[Slider612]

Somethings i just have to keep reminding myself to do ,thats one for sure.

[Fieldysnuts44]

Tailing you on this play. Lets Go Braves.Might put small play on Twins.

[pimike]

Those looking for another play that is earlier than the Braves take Marlins. They are THE best interleague team of all. They have the best record at this crap. I know they lost yesterday but i expect them to hit often against FLOYD he just doesn't have it anymore and he knows it.

Marlins are 120-99

[detodevin]

Your right Mike Im hanging in there and following what you do only.

[Slider612]

Marlins over past 3 season interleague play 15-19,Sox over the last 3 years interleague play 25-12,They never met in interleague play,Like Volstad 1-3 on road 6.somethin era,Floyd 1-3 at home same kind era,Not impressed with Floyd at all this year foolin nobody,Volstad is servicable Marlins might be the way to go.Like it Mike

[metsfa89]

Im with you o the braves mike

[metsfa89]

Good luck buddy and thanks

[miyakuza]

Mike, is Florida an official play for you? Thanks!

[whatsgood5]

Bol today mike

[Slider612]

Hey Metsfan good game yesterday with the Yankees,that Davis could hit, Bay absolutly clobbered a couple of balls that i couldnt believe didnt leave the ball park

[pimike]

Mike, is Florida an official play for you? Thanks!

NO, Braves are

[sifti]

Thanks Mike.

Great win yesterday, hope for the same today

[Slider612]

Lookn at the Minny game, any tell me if they think Gallardo ever faced a lineup like the Twinns,im thrown off by the line i think it should be at least 20 points higher 136? thinkin more like 156.I know Gallardo good but can he go deep into game, dont like Brewer bullpen.

With the Ace on the mound here Brewers have good chance of winning. IF GALLARDO doesn't get wild and walk people. If he walks this team they will hurt him.

Twins have been struggling themselves as of late.

[Slider612]

Just love Minny in that new ballpark,a park the Brewers never played in.Had not had any luck with Brewers in day games this season.Maybe they really are a Brew Crew.No doubt though the Twins havnt been playing that well,Thanks Mike

[Pauulzcappin]

Playing Braves again tonight, let's do it Mike.

[Slider612]

Anybody lookn for information on the games daily, go to MLB.com, go to scoreboard,caption in the box score is NOTES click on that, very informative.GL Peace
