Nash's 2014 All things MLB Talking Baseball Thread

[stevenash]

Nash thoughts on these 3?

Marlins FF (Eovaldi) over Mariners ( Young)

Nats (Gio) vs Cardinals (Wacha ) under

A's (Gray) -1.5 over Astros ( Cosart)


thinking about taking the night off but these 3 really stick out.

Using Gray is at least three dailies tonight

Harang doesn't have great stuff but if he keeps the ball low he can be effective. Whether the Mets hit him or not.....who knows.

right. Harang is the type of pither who rarely makes mistakes

[dlunc3]

mets over a 2* play ?

Two of your "stick out" plays were from me.

[stevenash]

yes

[Big Bear]

i know thanks for bringing them to my attention. I gave you credit for these plays when i mentioned them in the MLB sub forum under Friday Leans

I would not fix something that is not broken

in fact your this style is near perfect

your win % is through the roof

But if you start playing 3 games a day

your win % is going to take a hit

that's just simple math

please don't take this the wrong way Nasher

[NYSportsGuy210]

This Mets game is driving me bonkers. I can see this finishing 4-2 or 5-1 Braves. It all depends on how Harang does. Niese and the Mets bullpen should give up their fair share of runs.

Maybe he was just making up for Monday and Tuesday? A postponed game and day off.

Niese is solid. Mets bullpen though is another story.

[pokerwhiz90]

man it would be nice if the reds hit a nice double with teh bases loaded, heck ill take a sacfly

[pokerwhiz90]

just as i spoke, the cubs commit an error and should have been an easy dp lol

[Big Bear]

just as i spoke, the cubs commit an error and should have been an easy dp lol

and the shark is over 100 pitches! Cubs bullpen here we come

[akay47]

Man, Samardzija was an unreal WR at ND. I remember him and Brady Quinn playing on the same team. I think baseball was the right choice but he could've stuck in the NFL too (imo). Riley Cooper-like.

If there are 10 strong games in one day or 10 games with the same strength over the course of 10 days, it is exactly the same.

[PAULYPOKER]

Lol........

If you think there are 10 STRONG games in one day you are going to hit 50% at best......

Lucky to find one bullet proof game let alone 10......

Just common sense........

[NYSportsGuy210]

I have been betting with such discipline the past 4.5 years or so to build up my bankroll. I just feel like letting some steam today and betting huge just for the hell of it....I wanna know what it feels like.

Just one big $1000 bet on a blind tail. This Mets-Braves OVER 7 might be it. Should I do it?

Nash....if you had to put your first-born child's life on the line for this bet would you do it?

[mikmik]

Nash any input on nationals? I feel like gio bounces back.

was wondering the same thing. That is a pitcher friendly park right?

Did not take it the wrong way, I like the Braves to light up Niese like they always do.

See the .402 OBA total, that's 40 percent on base percentage.
That's ridiculous, that's almost two base runners an inning 2/5, (two out of five) or 40 percent.
This is not a small sample size, this is 156 at bats I am pulling data from, 172 plate appearances if you throw in 16 walks.
Look at the Freeman line, look at the Heyward line, look at the Justin Upton line, look at the OPS numbers.

[GT21Megatron]

No but its been playing small because of the cold weather up there. I watch all their games....ball usually travels well there

[stevenash]

Wacha is getting too much love at pick'em.
Nats if I had to bet it, and I don't, but go easy.

Rox should hammer that Philly cheese steak for a starter tonight I am feeling.

[GT21Megatron]

What about Brew Crew, Birds, and Bravos..im already on Nats kinda big

[NYSportsGuy210]

Mets Lineup:

(1) Eric Young Jr. - LF
(2) Daniel Murphy -2B
(3) David Wright - 3B
(4) Curtis Granderson - RF
(5) Chris B. Young - CF
(6) Lucas Dooda - 1B (lol)
(7) Travis D'Arnaud -C
(8) Ruben Tejada - SS
(9) Jon Niese - P

[stevenash]

Nash....if you had to put your first-born child's life on the line for this bet would you do it?

I would not put a human life on the outcome of any sporting event.
Don't bet a dime on a blind tail dude, how about 2 hundy and root for the 8th run

[pokerwhiz90]

hey nash! i think i have a couple good ones, cards ml (good value), cards/washington under, and brewers ml

i really like the cards under as both pitchers have been dominant the last time they went against each other's clubs - wacha giving up only 1 hit, gonzalez giving up 2 runs. Also the brewcrew has been cold with their bats lately but have been going against great pitchers the past week, this is a great opportunity for them to step it up. As for the cards ml, betting wacha is a system within itself

[PAULYPOKER]

Nasher

Does that unattractive Under line concern you?

Books are surely making that over line attractive.......

[ipaulster]

Nash, your thoughts on the Angels-Tigers. Weaver has been bad lately plus the Angels typically struggle against left-handed pitchers. Can Smyly be trusted? Angels did sweep them last year...

[Big Bear]

thats as strong of a Mets line-up as they have put out all season.

[daneault23]

Saw this on my facebook feed a few mins ago

[stevenash]

Drew can never be trusted, Weaver in a good spot.

I am warming up to the O's all of a sudden

[Big Bear]

yeah i think the Angels may go on a hot streak after that emotional victory over the A's but i'm scared to bet against the Tigers at home.

[NYSportsGuy210]

thats as strong of a Mets line-up as they have put out all season.

I know its sad....rofl

[NYSportsGuy210]

Just some FYI:

(1) The Braves are 10-0 since last season when it's the first game of a series vs a team that has won at least their last two games

(2) When Jon Niese starts the Mets are 1-9 in the last 2 seasons after he had a WHIP of less than one his last start
