Nash's 2014 All things MLB Talking Baseball Thread

Both are low draft picks originally

Mets rookie Degrom was having a solid season so far in that PCL league (AAA) in Las Vegas, where the balls fly like golf balls in rarified air.

Undefeated after 7 starts, 4-0, but, only averages 5.5 innings per start.
Has control issues, walks about 3 per 9. Throws right, 1.40 AAA WH/IP, don't like the number. Not a big K guy either.

Chase Whitley is the Yank starter making his prime time debut.
On paper, I like what I see, better and more polished than Degrom, but pitches in a normal park (Scranton-AAA)

Better WH/IP at AAA, much better at 1.12, better ERA, almost a K an inning guy, matter of fact this season was 11K's per nine innings in 6 starts. Those are Nolan Ryan K numbers.

But, like Degrom, he's a five and fly guy too, only averages 5.5 innings a start also.

Even the novice handicapper knows where to go next.

The 'pen, well duh.

a) Yanks have better bullpen.
b) Yanks whole 'pen is avaiable, Tanaka went all nine innings yesterday, NYY 'pen did not even get up, well just to pee, they are good to go.
c) Valverde (Mets) went 2 IP's probably has to sit this one out tonight.

This is how the game goes (as I see it)
Yanks get to the Mets kid early for 3 or 4 runs.
Mets get a singleton off of Whitley.

I'll be around 4-1 Yanks mid-way though, Yanks 'pen shuts down Murph and Wright, Yanks bats exploit Mets pen late, and put this game to bed by the seventh inning stretch.

Yanks -116, not big, but Yanks get this one

good luck

Easily, he's going to be OK as a pro, but he did get a lot of help, some balls hit on the screws by the Yanks too, that liner dp killed me (so far)

Yankee kid has the right stuff, and the right attitude, he's going to be around a long, long time.

Notice that both Whitley and deGrom got hits in their first MLB ABs?

Wonder if that ever happened before, two SPs making their MLB debuts in the same game and each get a hit first time the plate.

Just when you think you've seen everything in baseball...

Yeah it was a great outing. He sure looks solid, let's hope he can keep it up.

Dellin Betances was the difference last night. Wow that kid is impressive, bright future with the Yanks

Game goes in 35 mins. no time for a sermon now, in a nut shell...........

Met's core Murph and Wright hit Zimmy, Wheeler has the stuff to shut down a not really scary Nat lineup.

+154 is very generous, I am taking the bait.

Mets +154 2 will get you 3, I like it.

Over in mets/nats

Like both. Parlayed over and mets with kings ML for a 10:1 payout. Let's all cash!

Now I remember why I rarely bet the Mets.
They play bone head baseball, at least their bone headedness got me the over for a split yesterday, had the Tigers, wasn't posted, so it only counts in my account.
2 for3 yesterday, 1 for 2 posted.


Love the over 8.5 in the KC game.
White Sox like to hit Royals Vargas, here's who hits Vargas.
Konerko and Dunn, and two fossil relics are hitting 3/4 tonight.
Beckham, hitting 2, he hits Vargas hard.
Vicedio slams Vargas too.
A-Ram owns him.

Know who hits White Sox starter Carroll?
Everybody, that's who.
He's a charbroiled hamburger.

The price is much to good for me to pass up Keuchel and the Astros.
Dude, has been rock solid all season
Check out his last nine starts, seven of the nine are what they call Quality Starts.
Against some mighty fine hittin' machines.
KC, Detroit, Oakland, Texas.
That's some mighty fine fancy pitching Dallas has been doin' so far this year.
+190 man, that dog be barkin' and yelpin' and howlin'
Gimme some of that +190 action, I get it, it's Garrett Richards, who too is pitching great, and it's in LA, and it's Trout and Phat Al and the boys, but Carter and Dominquez has hit Richards in the past, if Houston can get Richards three runs, I think we got ourself a +190 cash, and who doesn't like a good old +190 winner? I know I do.

Houston 2* +190
o8.5 KC/CHW game 2* as well

a charbroiled hamburger lol

good luck Nash.

Astros tempted me as well at +190
I know Keuchel is good but he just threw a shut out last time out. He def can't duplicate that success twice in a row against a right handed heavy line-up.
and Angels just hammered David Price is who is much better than Keuchel
we may see a regression tonight for the young Astros ace.

6-1 parlay.
I get tired of looking at my points so, WTF
