Nash's 2014 All things MLB Talking Baseball Thread

[EL TIGERE]

busted. still i win for me

[Jesus33]

great day for totals IMO

[brandcorytoby]

I had my bet at Heritage Sports and they cancelled it there.

I have an account at Heritage. I bet the over on the Pirates/Reds game
They cancelled my bet, then credited my account hours later
So, I was a winna!

Heritage is a great Sportsbook along with Bookmaker

[bettermovefast]

Wow, tough break indeed. I need some more rain suspensions on my totals that aren't going to hit. Amiright?

[Big Bear]

any spot plays tonight Nashy?

what is your opinion on Angels / A's Under 8?

also do u like Royals -1 with Ventura?

perhaps Phillies -1 over Braves with Cliff Lee?

[tcarn01]

I wish you all would just let him post his picks and quit asking what he thinks with every flipping game on the board every day. Start your own thread and he will respond if he has a lean. Jeez. Flooded with nonsense.

[pokerwhiz90]

great thread!

My spot plays are getting rained out left and right.

Plus.... I got Tanaka in some dailies, I gotta scramble to change that...............

I don't want to force a play, no I don't like Lee, I don't think he's 100 percent, I got a couple of run line leans.
Can't see Stras and the Nats not winning easy, leaning under seven there, but under sevens have a way of dicking me, Nats can get six in an inning for instance and win 7-1.

I'll keep looking

You are annoying enough with your stupid ass questions to make anyone close down their thread.....

Just shut your fukkin mouth and don't ask questions...

Whatever play Nash throws out is what you'll get.........

Asking my opinion is OK, it's not just a pick thread, I post random thoughts.
I understand where you are comeing from though Carn, my plays will always be highlighted in the subject line, you can't miss them

Pauly is coming back strong

[TakingVegasMoney]

I was really looking forward to slamming tanaka tonight vs Chicago, even at -210

[stevenash]

Odorizzi just got scratched.
Ugggh, this card is really pissing me off, it's cold in the midwest, like snow in some cities, raining like a mo-fo all up and down the northeast.
Games getting ppd'ed, starters getting scratched.

I'm really scrambling, I got money tied up in dailies, I got to scrap all lineups, rebuild them.....

[Jesus33]

what happened to the tigers game???how isn't there a line for it yet...

[Chong Wizard]

What about the over in SF/LAD game tonight? Or does that look to good to be true?

[Jesus33]

OMG its not snowing or raining here wtf are they talking about why would they postpone this game wtf

[stevenash]

Here's the meatball Tampa trots out now.
F'n guy can't even go three innings.
You can't back Miquel Gonzalez, do I have even have to explain why?

Do a little homework dude.
That game has been washed for a while now.

[stevenash]

Braves / Phils now officially called off

[ipaulster]

I was going to ask Nash the same thing. It does sound too good to be true. But both teams have been scoring plenty of runs lately and Beckett and Lincecum aren't exactly shutting teams down...

i lean under in this one. AT&T park at night is a great place to pitch and both teams have magnificent bullpens.

[brownsfan]

Nash,
What kind of stats do you look at when setting your daily lineups? Just the typical batter vs. Starting pitcher?

[GT21Megatron]

Nats fan......taking Miami +1.5

Strasburg has been shelled in Miami his last 3 starts giving up 4 runs once and 7 runs each apprearence the previous two. This is always something I look at closely to find value. Miami has dropped 8 straight and 4 straight to the Nats. If your familiar with ESPN streak for Cash this game is on their and usually means it's for a good reason. Good luck.....Best baseball thread I've seen anywhere Nash. Keep up the good work my friend...

[akay47]

^^^ lol the Nats-Marlins game was also on it last night. Doesn't mean shit.

Also, I lean on baseball cube for splits, they got the best split database out there, for instance if a team is using a lefty that is prett much unproven, I will lean on baseball cube for a team versus LHP, I will use 2 or 3 year sample.

Brooks baseball too for AAA starting pitcher call up for instance.
Brooks details the arsenal, what his go - to pich it, velocity, etc. etc

I lean on five or six different sites.

Nice of you to say, look for a low scoring game in Miami, but it's a lean not a play.

[Big Bear]

Remember last week Benny Big Nuts had a play on Koehler and the Marlins against strasburg but the game was in DC and Nationals won easy.

Benny might have been a week early on that one.

I like Koehler, I hate everything Washington Nationals, hate that team, however, boy wonder (Stras) is going to throw a masterpiece tonight.
Miami isn't hitting, Werth owns the kid, this could be over by inning four

[GT21Megatron]

Remember last week Benny Big Nuts had a play on Koehler and the Marlins against strasburg but the game was in DC and Nationals won easy.

That game was a 1 run game heading into the bottom of the 8th when the Marlins fell apart.

nats won easy? do your homework it was a 2-1 game in the 8th inning nats scored 6 in that 8th and 4 were on a grand slam. just looking at final scores can be very deceiving

[GT21Megatron]

Says the guy who only rides plays and can't think for himself?

[stevenash]

Usually when you get two guys like this the under clicks, funny how that works out.
I don't like the side or total

loooool how is that relevant to what I said, some ppl man smh

The sexy pick seems to be Erlin at home.
He's a good LHP with pretty good stuff.

Rox have never faced him before, so I would go to baseball cube to see if Rox hit LHP (I know they do, but I like to go to my references anyway)

OK, based on this data, would you back Erlin?

Would you back Nicasio and the Rox based on this data?
(note the OBA though)

Is the sexy pick Erlin, so sexy now?

[stevenash]

OK, call it a 15 round draw fellas and drop it please.
