Will Scherzer and Corbin REMAIN UNDEFEATED on Saturday????

[Big Bear]

They gotta lose sometime right?

2 of the Reds best hitters Bruce and Votto are Left handed so that helps Corbin but he's due for an off game .. no?


and Mike Leake did play his college ball at Arizona State.. I'm sure the stadium will be packed with fine ass Arizona State chicks coming to see him pitch.


For the Reds sake they just need to keep Mike Leake out of the shopping malls so he doesn't steal anymore $20 T-shirts and get arrested before game time.

[Big Bear]

BTW just kidding about Arizona State girls being at the game. I went to ASU and they have the worst sports fans in Arizona I've ever seen. They honestly don't give a fukk about sports out there.


Basketball and Baseball games at ASU are played in empty stadiums. By far the worst sports fans in the country are in Arizona except for maybe Florida...


what is it with warm weather states having poor sports fans?

[Sol Diablo]

Baseball games at ASU are played in empty stadiums.

False.

Sun Devil fans do a good job of supporting the baseball program.

With Basketball, you definitely have a point. Attendance is always poor unless they are playing UofA.

[You mad bro]

Florida gators have amazing fans .. So do the heat now .. When Orlando was good they had a decent fan size .. Just depends ..

in florida i was referring to pro sports.

Rays, Marlins, Buccaneers, Jaguars... poor fan support.

New stadium has helped somewhat for the arizona cardinals. And yeah the stadium was not competely empty at ASU baseball games but you would think for a top program like that it would have an electric atmosphere and it did not.

overall i thought there was no school spirit. Not the kind of school spirit you would find in Big 10 or SEC country.

Those pro teams prob have bad fan support cuz they suck ... Except for the rays but no one wants to go travel to that stadium anyway

[Big Bear]

true. but anyway back to the main subject...

Corbin and Scherzer...


do they get the win today or do they finally take a loss? both are going against quality hitting teams.

[pattymayo]

does sbr pay you to just create a thread on whatever pops into your head, or do you just do it on your own?

[BigPete55]

Corbin wins.....not feel'n that redsox/tigers game at all!!

[Big Bear]

anybody got a good scouting report on Allen Webster for me?

Thinking about making a big play on Tigers RL

Scherzer is the new VERLANDER guy is a BEAST

[Big Bear]

does sbr pay you to just create a thread on whatever pops into your head, or do you just do it on your own?

stop trolling please and thank you. If you don't like my thread shut the fukk up.

Well all those teams suck

[BigPete55]

The only stat I don't like against Scherzer.....the dude hates Saturdays, LOL
SCHERZERis 9-17 (-12.6 Units) against the money line when playing on Saturday since1997

yeah and i guess it does not help that this game will be nationally telivised and every $50 joe will have money on the undefeated pitcher.

and Joe Buck will be slurping his rooster.

[BigPete55]

Exactly......Im not touching the game!

An eighteenth round pick (!) of the Dodgers back in 2008, righthander Allen Webster has made the Dodger scouts look awfully clever since, as he's risen into the very top ranks of the system in the years since. A quality arm with good control but iffy command, Webster's primary weapon is a mid-90's fastball that can reach 98 with heavy sink, but he's no one-trick pony: his curve, change and slider are all potential plus pitches that show exceptional filth, even when he struggles to throw them consistently. If he can master at least one of those, hopefully the change, he'll be striking out major leaguers very very soon.

Splitting 2011 between the two cutest-named minor league cities in baseball, Webster followed up a 5-2 record and 1.24 WHIP in 9 starts at Rancho Cucamonga with a 6-3, 1.50 WHIP in 17 more at Chattanooga, his first test in AA ball. As a followup, after a hot start in 2012, Webster was generally considered the top pitching prospect (remaining) in the Dodger minors when he was traded to Boston in August. He's a good candidate to compete for a rotation spot in 2013's Spring Training, but a midseason or late-season callup would be a safer play.

Now confirmed: pitcher Allen Webster is a part of the prospect package traded to Boston in exchange for the massive payroll trifecta of Carl Crawford, Josh Beckett and Adrian Gonzalez. Now unsaddled by more than $240 million in commitments over the next five years, Boston suddenly looks like a team that could make serious offseason moves. It's definitely not boring in Beantown, at least.

wow whoever wrote that about him is pretty high on him. He sounds like he's got amazing potential. 98 mph fastball?

have you watched him pitch Nash?

do you like his chances against the Tigers?

[konck]

It's real hard for kids to come back off a beating ...usually the first hard hit ball upsets them. Ill take Tigers on the run line here. 11 in a row

[billysink]

Kid is not stretched out, highest pitch count in minors was 101 this year, no command for this level, will struggle against left handed hitters, especially with command.

95 MPH 4 seamer not yet a plus pitch, 85 on change and slider. Change is still too visible, slider has been his best pitch. 74 MPH curveball with little command.

Kid might not go far here probably be looking at Andrew Miller by the fourth.

Sox can hit Scherzer though.

This game may be decided by the pens and that ain't good for the Tigers of late. Waiting for lineups here to see if any value in this one.

[Big Bear]

Boston Red Sox:
1. CF: Jacoby Ellsbury
2. RF: Shane Victorino
3. 2B: Dustin Pedroia
4. DH: David Ortiz
5. 1B: Mike Carp
6. LF: Daniel Nava
7. C: Jarrod Saltalamacchia
8. SS: Stephen Drew
9. 3B: Jose Iglesias
SP: Allen Webster

That puts value right on the Sox +159 for the game and first five total over 5 +106

[Big Bear]

i do like first 5 total over 5 ... if your going to get to a good starter like Scherzer ya gotta get to him early.

[stevenash]

I don't think they'll play.
That is one long band of rain.

[billysink]

I don't think they'll play.

Nasher , I am just across the river and shit looks creepy. Thunder and lightning like a belly full of jack and beans but no fukkin rain.

Supposed to keep boiling up between now and 9:30 and we have flood warnings.

My guess is I prolly gonna have to stay with this one whole damn night.

Grinding.


Its a lot of fun.
