Nasher's best play of the night is also a charity wager for the Cure Angelman Drive

[stevenash]

As much as I dislike the Toronto Blue Jays, they are in a very good spot tonight.
Rick Porcello is having what they call a post Cy Young hangover season as opposing hitters are just abusing him, especially left handed bats.
Porcello's home run rate has doubled from last season to this season, (well almost doubled from 0.93 homers per nine innings to a homer rate of 1.65 per nine innings. That's a lot of long balls, I'm shocked that Porcello hasn't been put on the disabled list for whiplash tuning his neck watching fly balls sail over the fences.
And his hard hit ball ratio has gone up from 30.0 percent in 2016 to 40.1 percent in 2017, or simply put the saber nerds say every ball that is put in play off of Porcello 40 percent of them are hard hit balls.

Conversely (or on the flip side if you will) Toronto trots out a pretty nasty lefty in JA Happ.
Happ has pretty much owned every Red Sox hitter in tonight's line up through out his whole career.

Sox lifetime are 35 for 179 (.196) Sox own a pathetic .286 OBA off of Happ and have only hit six home runs in those 179 at bats, with the kicker being Pedroia has three of those six and he's on the shelf and one of the better left handed batters (Jackie Bradley Jr.) is also on the shelf.

Just noticed some weird line movement in this game, line was Toronto -109 at 5:00, it's almost 6:00 now line jumped from -109 to +110, then 2 seconds ago was at +114 where it seems to be where it wants to settled.
I think I know the reason why for that almost 25 cent big line move, no Donaladson in the lineup, but I thought that was common knowledge, and Toronto isn't really going to war with their 'A' team offense tonight.

No matter, line movements like that don't phase me anymore if I think I know the reason.

Happ and the Blue Jays, even with their 'B' team bats in there is still my best bet of the night.

I got 100 real dollars to win 109 (it's +114 right now)

And the important part is I got 100 betpoints to win 109 betpoints in the sports book here, if it's a winner, all winnings will go to the Cure Angelman Drive.

For those not familiar with it, here's the link, give if you have it, if you don't not a problem at all.

[xdodger19]

[mackave]

No Smoak as well.

[BIGDAY]

[mackave]

Expected.

[mackave]

Game over Nasher, just way too many guys left on base this season for the Jays .. Bol next play .

[mackave]

Killed me as well but with an added 0 on the line

[stevenash]

So many chances wasted.

I hit my last 5 bets, if you call that Chris Sale prop bet a winner, hey it cashed so I guess you can lol
Cards were good to me yesterday, very good.

Love the Angels in the late game, wanted to bet Robbie Ray real bad, Dodgers don't look like the 1927 Yanks anymore, do they?
But passed, yeah, we're having a good week so far, just scoped out the early Thursday games.

Now I have to deal with NCAA foots? Does it ever end.

Just fade my UConn Husky team, that is one sorry football squad.
Rutgers is an auto fade all season too.

I want to grab Florida State with the 7.5 against Alabama this weekend, just can't pull that trigger, game in neutral field in Atlanta.

Just donate your money to angel man. Better then just pissing it away on bets

exactly. want to donate - go ahead and donate quietly. but no - attention whoring comes first lol

My momma always told me to be very weary of guys that don't keep a Year To Date Units count.

I already donated, but thanks for playing.
The purpose of this thread was to draw attention to that charity, which I donate to every year, I don't need message board cred.
Thanks for playing again.

Go count them up for yourself.
I post my opinions, some are right, some are wrong.
Ask yourself this Einstein, what is the essence of a message board?
The correct answer is to sound off opinions.

[stevenash]

Once again I donated quietly, just like I do every year, I drew attention to the charity, you and your buddies Patty Mayo, and Benny Penis and goduke all they think they know me.
Wrong.

If your Year To Date was positive units you'd know it and post it.

I guess you're buried this year so you've resorted to posting spot plays where accountability is not the name of the game.

Sweet Sassy Molassy...
Rough crowd tonight.

Nash is a proven, stand-up poster and his heart is in the right place.

I can't believe I am responding to a blow hard that can't master a quote function of the most basic of message boards.
It's not rocket science.

Second off, if I am such the attention whore you claim I am, did you know about 8 weeks ago I posted 10 games on a 15 game card and hit all ten of those games. I bring this up because I never once brought it up in any post after that day I went 10 for 10.
And that's the last time I'll bring up that 10 for 10 day.
Want to call me out on this, use the search function, which might be difficult for someone who can't master a simple quote function.
It'll take you no more than 4 minutes to find that thread.
In your case, maybe 20 minutes.

Few weeks later I had a five for five night, never once did I bring that up.
First three years I was posting pretty much every day, it was easy to keep a running daily units won record.
And I was successful, yet I never really brought attention to the fact I was successful, but there are many here that remember that.

This is what I find amusing, gas bag like yourself and others are nowhere to be found when posters go on heaters.
if a poster goes 10 for 12, crickets, nothing.
The second a hot poster goes cold and loses 2 out of 3, here you all come out of the weeds, spewing verbal or in this case written diarrhea.

I don't seek cash for plays, that's what touts do, and there is nothing much lower that a tout, or someone who claims they work for a group, which is a round about way of saying they are a tout.

Not that it bothers me, it doesn't but shouldn't you exert your energy on going after lying, stealing touts and lowlifes like that.

I post here for shits and giggles. I post my opinions, I have opinions for most things in sports, this is the essence of a message board.
Some days I'm good, some days not so good.
Know this, and know this well, I will never go broke betting baseball, but I'll never be filthy rich either.

And if one calls me out on something, like a trend I noticed on how baseball games are decided by more than one run, like your buddy goduke did one evening, it took me ten minutes to prove out that 72 percent of games were decided by more than 1 run.

Who disappeared for two weeks after that.
Wasn't me.

If make a wager, and say I made the wager, I'll post screen shot.
If I make a claim, it happened, as a matter of fact if you look at most of my posts, I laugh at myself 10 times more for a selection that was an epic fail than a selection that was a huge success.

Now go and work on your basic computer skills slick, quit claiming you know my intentions when you really don't.
And no I am not offended, hardly, actually I am amused.

Have a good night, see you tomorrow, I should be around to post some more of my opinions, maybe I'll be right, maybe I'll be wrong.
My guess if I'm right you and your cronies will be nowhere to be found, and based on past history if my opinion is wrong you and the rest of the forum gas bags will be on that post like pigs on shit.

Sweet dreams cupcake.

Appreciate the words, gas bags being gas bags on a message board. Nothing more, nothing less.
I posted my reply, he posted his, my guess is he's going to need the last and final word, if I'm right and I think I am, that who's really the attention whore?
Thanks for the words again.

You sound very offended. You shouldn't be. Not sure why you called me a blow hard, cupcake and like 2 other names.


What's your Year To Date? Plain an simple.

I know what mine is. It's all documented and transparent.

What's yours? SBR posters should know what they're getting into when you post a 5 paragraph play.

What. Is. Your, Year. To. Date, sir?

[TheLock]

Nasher, I still strongly believe you should keep an updated YTD but I was out of line last night.

I'm a baseball fan, you're a baseball fan and we should be civil with each other.

Good luck today and the rest of your season in bases.

My first few years here I kept a daily or almost daily running thread, I made money 2 out of the 3 years, and the other year I was a little under .500 but my 3/4 of my plays are pick 'ems and dogs so it was pretty much even.

I'm a spot player now, been a spot player for a few years now, people know that, and I point that out, it's not a secret.
I get busy with a project at home, miss four days or so at SBR, lose track, and the whole thread loses rhythm.

I had to bail on a thread once or twice because of work or home stuff when I was losing, people seem to remember that, but once I had to bail on a thread where I was up like 40 + * people forget that, but it's OK, really is, it falls under the misery loves company theory.

Tell you what, I gave it some though, tomorrow is 9/1, season ends 10/1, I'm curious so I'm doing this for myself, not because I was backed into a corner, I'm confident I can turn a profit on a month long September 1 to October 1 thread.

I don't throw darts which is the reason why I write paragraphs, I like to back my plays up with opinions off of match ups, facts, past performances, stuff like that.
I give reasons as to why I made a particular selection, feeling here is anyone can say Padres +144, I want to know why someone is playing Padres +144, give me something to hang my hat on, just because one says bet San Diego +144 and doesn't back it up with something I consider a dart throw. Too much of that here.

Other reason is I could have something wrong, (believe it or not, I've been wrong before, and I'll be wrong again-amazing huh? but it's true lol) and I also could be missing something from the side I am fading, many times astute posters have pointed something out that I neglected to see. That's why I you get 2,4, sometimes six paragraphs.

Regarding your apology, don't sweat it, your weren't that far out of line, I've been much worse myself and often.
Totally accepted and appreciate the sincerity, all good.

Holy shit, I'm watching this D-Back and Dodger game, Snakes are mauling them, Dodgers about to get swept by 'Zona.
I like the D-Backs, they're fun, their whole TV booth is way too goofy, but amusing at times.

OK, I'll create a month long thread tomorrow, I can maintain that for a month.

Fwiw I saw this, thought it was a great idea, did the same and doubled my normal betpoints bet to be able to throw 500 to Yis which Yis was going to match. So this thread (and Funnys as well obviously) directly led to at least $60 being donated. All because he started this thread.

Hard to call it attention whoring when it increases donations to a worthy cause!! Just my opinion.

Which was my intention, the poster apologized for being out of line, I accepted, he's really a pretty good guy, and we moved on.

[biggie12]

nash is a smart man

sometimes too much information is not a good thing

[jjgold]

He probably over analyzes too much, this is a guy at home that analyzing everything he does 24 hours a day even when he opened the refrigerator there's some sort of an explanation for it in detail.

You ever wonder how that 'fridge light knows how to turn itself on and off when you open the door?
