This post is rather self explanatory. MLB 2K11 released its official trailer and the game looks pretty damn good. Of course, the most frequently played video games by the Off Base crew include Sega Genesis hockey, RBI Baseball and Wii bowling. So the graphics alone kinda freak us out. See for yourself...
My favorite highlight is Chris Coghlan making an error in the outfield. Unfortunately for the Marlins, the guys at 2K Sports seem to be pretty prescient. I hope that's the case anyway because I'm pretty sure I saw Vernon Wells crush a homer for the Angels in that clip.
They'll also be running another $1,000,000 Perfect Game competition. If you're just now hearing about that from Off Base and win, you owe us 12.5% of your winnings. Check the fine print, my attorney got his degree from one of the finest online universities in Eastern Europe.

Curveballs for Jobu
Curveballs for Jobu is Off Base Percentage's daily trip around the ballparks.
Today's honorary bat boy is Kal Daniels
Pirates 9, Astros 0. We didn't need Ernie the Intern Hippo to search the CFJ archives and see if this would be Paul Maholm's first time making the roundup. It's like when I was a kid and I hadn't yet tried salami. Finally, on a hot summer day I got to taste the goodness and later in the evening I three-hit the Astros. In RBI Baseball. Sunday, Maholm had his salami, pitching a complete game, three-hitter to lead the Bucs to that magical 32-win plateau. The southpaw seems to have shaken the stench of his start against the Phillies July 3 (3 IP, 7 ER), throwing Sunday's shutout after allowing two earned in seven against the Brewers July 9.
Indians 7, Tigers 2. We're back to daily Indians recaps until they lose. Jeanmar Gomez, who struggled for Triple A Columbus but didn't allow an earned run in a seven-inning, big league debut, helped the Tribe sweep a four-game series. Luis Valbuena: DNP.
Mets 4, Giants 3 (10). New York closer Francisco Rodriguez blew a two-run lead in the bottom of the ninth, but Ike Davis doubled off Brian Wilson in the top of the tenth for the winning run. Rodriguez: 2 IP, 4 H, 2 ER, WIN!
Bluejays 10, Orioles 1. Yunel Escobar has enjoyed his short stay in Toronto. After a trade brought him from Atlanta, Escobar is 6-for-13 (.462) in three games and Sunday hit his first career grand slam. Baltimore has scored 16 runs in nine games (all losses) against Toronto this season.
Mariners 2, Angels 1 (10). I thought Jim Riggleman was managing in Washington now, just what in the name of Don Slaught is Jose Lopez, and his .345 slugging percentage, doing batting clean up? It worked Sunday as Lopez delivered a go-ahead single in the 10th to give Seattle its first win in its last nine games against Anaheim. Seattle Mariners Horrifying Statistic of the Day: Part-time player Ryan Langerhans has a higher OPS+ (120) than every single regular position player.

Futures Game, Chun Chen and the 9,107th-best Fun Runner in Anaheim
Derwood is headed to Anaheim with his Jorge Posada batting practice shirt and 17 pens. Stay with Offbase over the next three days for All-Star coverage from a career .180 hitter.
ANAHEIM - A lot to get to after day one of the all-star festivities wrapped up from Angel Stadium. I thought the Futures Game, a team of some of the top American minor leaguers against a team of the foreign minor leaguers, was an excellent idea from its inception in 1999 when Alfonso Soriano was the MVP in the World's 7-0 victory over the USA. I also thought it was excellent idea for the Yankees to trade Soriano for Alex Rodriguez after the 2003 season. Both dreams came true, and the Futures Game is alive and well with the 12th installment taking place Sunday afternoon.
Hometown boys make good
MTD has been cheating on Chase Utley while the Philly second baseman spends time on the DL. Some called it puppy love, but now MTD is seeing Angels' prospect Mike Trout. The Anaheim faithful love the kid, too, and after pinch-running in the first, he had an infield single, reached on an error and later had a hustle double in the eighth off Mets' prospect Jeurys Familia. Trout was over-shadowed by another Anaheim product, catcher Hank Conger, who snuck a three-run home run into the first row of seats in right field in the fifth inning, and picked up MVP honors.
Should've been you, Eric
Conger had a big home run, but KC minor leaguer Eric Hosmer was the best hitter on the field Sunday. Hosmer, who is having a huge season for the Wilmington Blue Rocks of the Class A Advanced Carolina League (.349/.424/.540), went 4-for-5 with a double and two RBIs hitting in between Trout and Conger.
No runs for you
After US starter Jeremy Hellickson gave up a run in the second on an fielder's choice RBI by Wilin Rosario (Colorado Rockies), nine pitchers combined to hold the World team to eight hits (seven singles) in seven scoreless innings of work. That was like the time in RBI Baseball when Jack Clark took me deep for a two-run home run in the first, then Fernando Valuenzela, John Franco and Steve Bedrosian shut the Cards down the rest of the way. I poured Diet Coke on myself in celebration.
Chun Chen!
Best name in baseball. During the late innings, the PA announcer at Angel Stadium started calling him Chun-Hsiu Chen, which I guess is his real name. But I can't accept that. He'll always be Chun Chen to me.
Chun Chen?
Chen used a red catcher's mitt. I also can't accept that.
Around the ballpark...
* The PA announcer started the top of the first with: "Leading off for the World, the second baseman, No. 13, Brett Lawrie." That's a lot of pressure to put on Brett Lawrie.
* NIKE, some floundering shoe company, sponsored a 5K & Fun Run early Sunday morning. Each runner received a number, but this guy was the only one that wore his during the Futures Game.
No. 9,197 in your programs, No. 9,197 in your hearts.
* It got worse for the Red Gloved Menace. In the sixth, Chen's battery mate on the mound was Boston minor leaguer Stolmy Pimentel, who also wore a red glove. It was the first time in Futures Game history that a Chun and a Stolmy each used a red glove and a Derwood in section 426, row D, seat 8 choked on sunflower seeds simultaneously.
Fransisco Peguero's girlfriend always brings a book to the Giants prospect's games, so they agreed that Francisco can bring his unicycle when she wants to go shoe shopping.
Not actually Brian Downing. I asked.

Drew Stubbs Hit Three Home Runs Today
And his teammates hit four others in a 14-3 win over....the Chicago Cubs! Hit you with a bit of an RBI Baseball-wobbly pitch there didn't I? When you heard...
* Team hits seven home runs
* Wins 14-3
...you thought, "well it certainly wasn't against the Cubs".
Anyway, Stubbs had a .233/.308/.380 slash line and an 83 OPS+ until he went deep twice against Ted Lilly and against Andrew Cashner in the ninth. Lilly was so good in a nine-run Cincy seventh that Lou Pinella, who will be managing somewhere else in two weeks, or worse, Baltimore, had to leave the left-hander in to allow long balls to Brandon Phillips and Jonny Gomes and complete the magical 6 2/3 IP, 9 ER line.
Getting back to Pinella: it's just a matter of time for Sweet Lou. The Cubs are a disgrace, having won 11 times since May 29, and someone has to take the fall. It's certainly not going to be Aramis Ramirez (.177/.242/.297) or Derrek Lee (.230/.329/.372) or Ryan Theriot (.277/.317/.303) or Carlos Zambrano (78 ERA+/loonytunes). I'll give him through the all star break.

I play a lot of RBI Baseball
I'm a 30-year old man, so naturally I spend a lot of my time playing a video game that was created when the Royals were still wearing powder-blue uniforms. I would really like to enter into an RBI Baseball tournament, but at the same time, that's not a room anyone should spend time in.
There are a handful of lethal sluggers in the game and here is a look at those hitters and how they've enriched my life.
Jack Clark, St. Louis Cardinals
Let's put it this way: if you've got a lefty in the game and Clark is coming up, go get a right-hander from the pen because Clark will laugh at your southpaw and then hit a 700-foot home run that goes out of the TV screen. The fireworks will go off, and Clark will get the girl and the endorsement deals. Happens every time.
December, 2009: Clark hits his sixth home run of the game against Houston.
Me (screaming): "SIX! SIX!"
My wife (waking up): "What the hell are you screaming about?"
Me: "It's six! Six o'clock, Christmas morning. Merry Christmas!"
Darryl Strawberry, NY Mets
Straw has a lot of power, but he can also hit scalding line drives that make short relievers like Charlie Kerfeld have accidents in their stirrups. Plus, if you are dumb enough to pitch around Gary Carter to get to Strawberry, you deserve everything that comes to you.
March, 1996: Hit by a Don Sutton pitch. Ray Knight follows with an inning-ending ground out, marking the first time in my 11 years of owning the game that the computer's strategy had paid off.
Matt Nokes, Detroit
Despite a .441 career slugging percentage in real life, Nokes is the most feared hitter in the 10-team league. I don't try to explain it, I just let the table setters-Alan Trammel, Kirk Gibson and Darrel Evans-work their way on base and then wait for an inside fastball.
Late-July, early-August, 2007: Nokes literally ate Minnesota's Juan Berenguer for breakfast (took six days).
Kent Hrbek, Minnesota
Once hit a 940-foot home run off a tired Danny Cox throwing 24 M.P.H. It gave the Twins a 21-4 lead in a game they would go on to win 36-4.
July, 1988: Kevin Hassett came over after we swam at the neighborhood pool. He was a Twins fan, so it was Twins-Astros, winner gets the last popsicle. I thought Mike Scott could groove a fast ball by Hrbek. I was wrong. Hrbek hit a home run that just landed a few minutes ago. Next pitch, I hit Tom Brunansky in the back. My friendship with Kevin deteriorated after that.
Mark McGwire, AL All Star team
You need to bring McGwire off the bench, but luckily I have no problem giving Bill Schroeder the day off.
Wednesday: McGwire's grand slam is the start of a 13-run inning as the All Stars embarassed Roger Clemens and the Redsox at Fenway.

Curveballs for Jobu
Curveballs for Jobu is Off Base Percentage's daily trip around the ballparks.
Today's honorary bat boy: Chico Salmon
Rockies 5, Twins 1. Ubaldo Jimenez's 2010 campaign is bringing back fond memories of RBI Baseball-John Tudor. Like Tudor, Jimenez throws a variety of nasty pitches, including the wobbly pitch that rolls off the screen and the outside fastball that the computer always swings at. Jimenez moved to 13-1 and lowered his ERA to 1.15 with eight innings of one-run ball Thursday. All that's left for the Colorado right-hander is to get into the ninth inning when his velocity is down to 35 M.P.H. and get out pinch hitter Bill Madlock.
Reds 7, Dodgers 1. Cincy avoided a sweep thanks to Bronson Arroyo, who allowed an earned run in seven innings, helped start three double plays, hit a three-run home run and even found Dusty Baker's toothpick.
Tigers 8, Nationals 3. A week ago, Detroit had lost consecutive series to the Royals and Whitesox, which is the equivalent of losing four of six to the Chico's Bail Bonds Bears, pre-Kelly Leak. Since, the Tigers have won six straight, including Jeremy Bonderman's seven Ks and two hits in seven innings that finished a sweep of Washington. Ramon Santiago, who had just six hits in June, picked up his first four-hit day since last May 17.
Royals 5, Astros 2. Somebody break up the Royals, because they've won five of seven. That's all I've got.

Editor's Meeting
MTD lives in New Orleans and Derwood built a cabin out of sticks and mud in Atlanta, so occasionally they have to communicate through email. Here's the latest back-and-forth entitled "The Greatest Individual Season of All-Time", which tackles Bonds, Ruth, hot dogs, and of course raccoon humping.

subject The Greatest Individual Season Of All Time
Sometimes, when I get sad, I go look at the stat line from the greatest season of all time. What Barry Bonds did in 2004 wasn't human. I don't care if he was eating babies and doing lines of coke off of a toilet. He hit 45 home runs and .362/.609/.812 for an OPS+ of 263. Getting on base at a 61% clip was aided by 262 walks (120 intentional), but he also only struck out 41 times. I think that sound you heard was Yuniesky Betancourt's head exploding. His 12.5 WAR is only 7th all time, but it's behind four Babe Ruth seasons and Mantle and Hornsby seasons. His OPS+ is second all time to his 2002 season but I think it's the OBP that puts 2004 over the top for me. What do you have? And you better not say something like the year Scott Brosius managed to put together a 121 OPS+ for the Yankees. *shakes fist*

subject Re: The Greatest Individual Season Of All Time
You look at Bonds' '04 season when you get sad, I watch tapes of the 1998 World Series, or The Brosius Series, when I get sad. Yes, Barry Bonds in 2004 was very alien-like; the numbers are absolutely ridiculous (especially his +17 Eaten Babies, which led the NL), and I don't think a similar season is coming any time soon. Yet, in the spirit of this cheap wine-induced debate, I give you Babe Ruth's 1920 campaign as the greatest single season of all time.
Barry's walk total (262) and OBP (.609), completely absurd. I'm not going to touch those. But the other numbers are really close.
BA: Ruth, .376, Bonds, .362
SLUG: Ruth .847, Bonds, .812
OPS: Bonds, 1.421, Ruth, 1.379
OPS+: Bonds, 263, Ruth 255
HR: Ruth, 54, Bonds, 45
Pretty tight in those five categories, plus if you believe idiots, Bonds was a dope fiend who would hump a raccoon for a fix, while Ruth just ate hot dogs and drank beer. It was a clean era, man!
Except for the rampant gambling.

Whoa, those raccoon humping charges got dropped, sir. Plus we don't know what else the Babe was on in the 20s. Sure, he ate hot dogs and drank a lot of beer (we do that too and hit no home runs), but he could have easily been hopped up on, um, weed? People in the 20s thought cigarettes were good for you. In 10 years, everybody will be taking HGH. I'm hoping it will help heal the damage I'm doing to my liver. What were we talking about?

You know, people in the 2000s also think cigarettes are good for you. Those people are: me. Can we get into an MVP voting discussion please? I'll get it started with Jimmy Rollins in 2007. Apparently, it doesn't matter if your on base percentage is .344 and your OPS is .875, YOU can be National League MVP. Well, not you. Jimmy Rollins. Plenty of people have already attacked the Rollins MVP vote, but I don't think many of them have pointed out that he finished 21st in 2006 with very similar statistics.
And if Albert Pujols is alive and putting up these numbers: .429 OBP, .997 OPS and 8.3 WAR, he should be MVP every single time. But he can't beat me in RBI Baseball.
