Happy Dump Day: Spring Fever

Well, we made it through another week, which means its Hump Day Dump Day once again here at SportsUntapped.

Is it pure laziness or simple generosity?  I do want you to be entertained, you know.

Here are a few baseball stories from around the web which I hope you enjoy!

Roy Halladay: the Doctor is in

Roy Halladay claims he’s “working on his stamina” this spring.  The new addition to the Philadelphia Phillies rotation pitched three shutout innings Tuesday, striking out five Atlanta Braves during his second spring appearance in a Phillies uni.

The Phanatic, Green Man and everyone in the City of Brotherly Love could not be happier.

Halladay, acquired from the Toronto Blue Jays this winter, has tossed five innings total this spring without allowing a run. He says all he’s thinking about is “throwing strikes” and that “the rest will come.”  What else is he going to bring?  Magical fairy dust?  Unicorns?  It doesn’t get much better than this guy.

The Colorado Rockies also had a pretty good day yesterday, crushing the Los Angeles Dodgers 12-0 like Frank McCourt plans to get crushed every month by his estranged wife, who’s seeking $1 millon per month in alimony.  Yikes.

Stephen Strasburg Makes Long-Awaited Debut

You can stop holding your breath, counting the days, and bracing yourselves.  The earth’s axis didn’t shift due to the unexplainable awesomeness of Stephen Strasburg throwing a baseball on Tuesday.

The highly-touted Washington Nationals prospect (who really is pretty badass) was a little nervous out there against the Detroit Tigers, having some occasional location trouble during his spring training debut.  Otherwise, the 21-year-old righty was awfully impressive.

Strasburg allowed two hits and threw 27 pitches in all — 15 for strikes — including a crazy 81 mph breaking ball to Brent Dlugach.  (Who?  He wants to be a shortstop when he grows up.)

Sabathia, Santata Sucked Tuesday

In his first pitching performance since last August, Johan Santana struggled with locating his pitches big time.  The New York Mets’ lefty ace was pounded by the Houston Astros in no time at all, allowing four runs on six hits over just 1.2 innings in his team’s 8-4 loss on Tuesday.

The two-time Cy Young award winner walked away feeling good however, and that’s all that truly matters after his September 1 surgery to remove bone spurs from his elbow.  Seriously, this is Johan Santana we’re talking about.  It’s not like he forgot how to be awesome.  Reaching his 47 pitch-count limit, Santana threw 33 pitches for strikes and says he felt good both physically and mentally.

“Mentally you feel good because that’s one of the big steps you have to make to finally get into a real game and see how your arm reacts to that surgery,” Santana said. “Overall, I felt pretty good.”

B.J. Upton’s Brother is Rich Just kidding. I'm fairly certain that Justin Upton can go by his real name now. You've pretty much arrived when you're handed $51.25 million to play baseball for six years.

Banning maple bats means the sad end of Xtreme Baseball Watching Seriously, how many more eyes need to get poked out before Major League Baseball just bans maple bats all together? Look at those terrified fans to your right, splintered shards of wood hurling toward them at a dizzying pace. It's frightening.

Chipper Jones is Getting Old Chipper Jones was the first man I ever fell in love with. I was 11 years old and made it my life's mission to someday meet him and live happily ever after. Too bad I never took that job at Hooters...
