Phils come back for the win! I should have been watching this instead of working.

A few weeks in, what do you guys think of the new Sunday Night crew?

Eh, chances of the Phils being no-hit this year are pretty good. Is there a somewhere I could place a prop bet on that?

I have a fantasy team with him and Lincecum on it and I'm still in the middle of the pack.

so do i, but i also have jose bautista and i'm currently first place!

ppl thought bautista was a fluke, but he's legit. 40+ homers could happen

I don't even want to think about how prohibitively expensive Weaver is going to be next year.

Haren costs a "reasonable" 12mil... Weaver is going to be Johan territory especially with Borass.

I've always been down on Weaver for some reason, but he's legitimately excellent. I just can't figure out how he gained 2 K/9 over his career average last year when none of his pitches changed.

Because when people look at him they see Jeff Weaver. But Jered is legit. He could lead the league in Ks again

It was more that his peripheral numbers never matched his low ERAs, but now they do, and that's weird. His fastball is a little faster than it's ever been before and he throws the slider a little more, but beyond that, he seems to be the same pitcher he ever was, just a lot better somehow.

People don't take notice until you hit 30, and that's barely half way to 56.

I'm still thinking he's juicing. Dude didn't hit more than 13 till last year.

Ethier was gonna be a fantasy stud last year so I picked him up in all my leagues. I lay off him this year, and look how he does?!
