MLB Weekly Roundup

White Sox Dave 4/14/2015 12:15 PM

Reintroducing the weekly MLB Roundup. Yes, I ripped this idea off of Banks. No, I don’t feel bad. He got sent a C&D or some shit cuz he was using homemade GIFS, so until the MLB tells Portnoy were not allowed to use vines and videos from Twitter, I’m making this a weekly thing. Feel free to leave any and all constructive criticisms in the cesspool that is the comment section. Please and thank you.

Team Of The Week – Kansas City Royals

 

 

The Royals were a popular pick to take a big step back in 2015.  They lost their number one starter in James Shields and clubhouse leader Billy Butler.  Everyone thought they’d regress to the mean, especially their pen.  Well right now they’re 7-0 and on absolute cruise control.  Every bit of momentum they had last October they carried over into this season; timely hitting, stellar pitching and defense, and a lot of luck.  They obviously won’t stay hot like this forever but they’re also officially in it for the long haul.

 

Nastiest Pitch Of The Week

  Seriously, how do you hit that? I made it a point to avoid using Sale for this week, mainly to curb my homerism, but this pitch by Harvey was flat out stupid.  I love watching him pitch. . Also, just kidding, here’s Sale blowing a fastball by some idiot   https://vine.co/v/eu5UIZr6eLH       Defensive Plays Of The Week Not many people agree with me since we’re in an offense obsessive world of sports these days, but there is nothing, NOTHING I love watching more than good defense. Fuck moneyball; gimme team speed and lights out defense over a team that does nothing but hit bombs and clog up the bases all day every day. Here’s a few of the best plays of the week: 3. Lorenzo Cain Crashes Into Wall

2. Adam Eaton Lays Out Running Full Speed

 

 

1.George Springer Robs Walkoff Grand Slam

 

 

 

Baseball porn… .

 

 

Worst Defensive Play Of The Week: Minnesota Twins .

 

 

 

Holy shit are the Twins bad. Top to bottom, there’s nothing good about this team. Very well could be on their way to 100+ losses. Look at this shit! Not one, but two dropped pop ups in the same inning. Absolutely embarrassing. Their farm is stacked, so it won’t be too long before they’re relevant again, but as of now they’re the doormat of the AL Central.

 

 

Congratulations to Jon Lester On Overcoming The Yips

Prolly gonna be a weekly feature…

Prospect of the Week – Carson Fulmer RHP Vanderbilt

Gonna add a college or high school prospect of the week for yall. This is Carson Fulmer. He’s projected to go top 15 overall, but some scouts are worried he’s gonna break down because he doesn’t have the typical 6’4″ 225 pound build you see most starting pitchers have in today’s game. But you know what? Fuck that. This dude is disgusting. Total bull dog on the mound. The Sox have the 8th overall pick in June’s draft this year, and I truly believe that if they’re in contention, Fulmer could immediately improve the bullpen. He may not be around for them to select him, but if he is I’m all in on him. Whoever does end up drafting him will be very happy with their pick. Future front of the rotation pitcher.

WAG Of The Week

Who else would it be? Introducing the lovely Kim De Jesus, from the greatest town in the world, Wheaton, Illinois. Yes, she went to my high school. No, I’ve never met her. She was older than me, but if we had attended WWS at the same time I prolly woulda stared at her from around like corner while she was getting a drink from the water fountain like I was Stevie Janowski or something. But enough talk, pics or gtfo:
