Mort, you should have Stunnered him for that crrime.

 

[KidA Seven]

Looks like Donnie was mad at Seager for swinging on a 3-0 pitch while up by 5.

 

[Chris R]

I think I lost a friend today guys

a couple friends and I went out to get some gyros, and one poured ketchup all over his! I'm still in disgust

gyro = tzatziki only



Also, this ( http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/g/gosewtu01.shtml ) needs to update so I can fucking cry that I'm not being paid $600k to fucking suck at baseball

 

[Grover Cleveland]

Another dominant Chris Sale start blown eh...

I wonder which throwback jersey he's gonna tear up this season

 

[Line_HTX]

Dallas Keuchel 10 Day DL for pinched nerve. What the fuck...

And in his neck too. Fucking get a better bed or pillow FFS.

 

[Carpe Libertatem]

I don't know if I can stomach him managing the Cards after this season. He's long overstayed his welcome in my eyes. Surely, there are better alternatives?

Imagine if they would have hired Terry Francona after 2011

I'd bet we have at least one more ring

(Though, Rosenthal was unavailable last night and the bullpen without him is pretty meh.)

 

[CosmicQueso]

I woke up this morning, and Jered Weaver was still a Padre. Why.

Do you guys realize just how bad Weaver's been? I mean, he's been a funny haha joke for a while. But do you truly recognize the scale of his awfulness?

0-5, 7.44 ERA, 7.99 FIP, 42 IP, 51 H, 35 ER, 16 HR.

MLB ERA losers (minimum 40 innings)
1. Jered Weaver 7.44 (and rising)
2. Kevin Gausman 7.19
3. Bartolo 6.80

Looks like Donnie was mad at Seager for swinging on a 3-0 pitch while up by 5.

So in other words Donnie's team gave up and they want the Dodgers to end the game quickly.

Why is this guy still coaching? He must think this is little league ball.

Sources: #WhiteSox closing in on Luis Robert. Deal expected to be more than $25M

Cards fans: "Yeah, sounds right"

Alex Wood with another gem.

Would've been nice to have a top 5 farm system while still contending, but that's expected

 

[Little Green Yoda]

Disappointing that the Cards didn't go all out. It's not like we are adding young talent from anywhere else this year.

(unless we sell at the deadline)

I've been a big advocate of trading both Lynn and Oh since we could likely contend without them, but both have been pretty bad this year so their value is probably not high enough to sell (especially since Lynn will get a QO anyway)

 

[Windu]

i guess the wind can help pitchers at suntrust park. wind blowing in from left field today, has held up two balls that would have been out yesterday. First time i have seen suntrust park actually helping pitchers.

 

[Earthbound64]

Oakland's ballpark / fans (not all, I'm sure - but the ones who make themselves obvious, at least) are awful.

At least the Indians have a racist reason to have drums at the game.
For Oakland, there's no reason at all.
And there's never any reason at all to have airhorns at a Baseball game.

The whole environment always feels like people intended to go to a Football game, mistakenly ended up at a Baseball game instead, and just went ahead with their plans anyway.

This park has been a lot weirder to predict thus far, that's for sure. I expected it to be more of a hitter's park due to Freddie Freeman, but I wasn't expecting this.

 

[the_firewithin]

not only do braves have some hits against scherzer but a HR now!

 

[Mr. Enigma]

Scherzer doesn't look very comfortable today. Not sure what it is.

it's being said that the cards offered more money than the white sox but a video pitch won him over.

Time for the Cards to pull their bridesmaids dress out of the closet.

 

[SRTtoZ]

22m worth of trash.

 

[NameGenerated]

Fuck this ump. Giving bartolo these pitches way outside.

 

[Mr. Enigma]

Fuck this ump. Giving bartolo these pitches way outside.

He was giving Scherzer outside pitches in the 3rd against Flowers too when they were balls the last inning. He blows both ways.

 

[Caja 117]

Incoming trip to DL for Tanaka, he has been pure trash the last two outing.

Where everyone loses!

 

[SRTtoZ]

He's not even coming close is the issue. He can't paint corners, his splitter isnt splitting at all or its splitting 10 feet before home plate which won't fool anyone. Either he's hurt or something is way off that the coaches aren't noticing.

Cardinals should have gotten Adolis Garcia (Robert's mentor in Cuba) to do a video presentation. White Sox do have quite the history with Cuban players though

Oh well, not losing sleep over the Cardinals not being able to spend $50m on a 19yo

 

[jello44]

Even though Fires wasn't complete trash today, the Astros still couldn't get to Clevinger.

 

[Carpe Libertatem]

Matt Adams traded to Braves. Congrats BravesGAF.

https://mobile.twitter.com/OrtizKicks/status/866054062336348161

Looks like it's for Juan Yepez, some 19yo lottery ticket. Cool. Probably nothing, but at least now I don't have to fear Matheny starting Adams in LF.

 

[Malo]

Tanaka is broken.

 

[Grover Cleveland]

Contract the Red Sox and fire Farrell

We're about to get swept by the As!

 

[CygnusXS]

God damn it, not Yepez...

 

[Lee Chaolan]

LOL Springer

 

[jello44]

LOL Springer

Bad time to get a brainfart on the basepaths.

 

[Sanjuro]

John and Dom should be traded to the Mets.

We get Collins and Harvey.

 

[Mr. Enigma]

Braves say Matt Adams is on the way to ATL and should be there in time for Sunday's game. They are keeping James Loney in AAA for depth.

 

[Windu]

i would have rather played the combination of peterson, ruiz and garcia at 1B/3B than trade for Adams. meh.

if Yepez can stick at 3B, then the cardinals have something. At 1B, eh.

Bench should be good next year though, Adams signed till 2018.

 

[Mr. Enigma]

i would have rather played the combination of peterson, ruiz and garcia at 1B/3B than trade for Adams. meh.

Someone mentioned that it'll give the Braves more bench depth when Freeman comes back. I can kind of see that viewpoint. I would have still tried Adonis at 1B and split Jace and Ruiz at 3B for a week or two.

 

[Sanjuro]

James Loney is still being dealt while Carl Crawford eats pizza bagels everyday. What a timeline.

 

[Dmncnby2k9]

A Gawd is awesome in the booth!

 

[Tall4Life]

We're now an 8-8 team

 

[Loco4Coco]

Ugh, Granderson is so bad. Can the Mets call up Nimmo to replace him?

 

[Little Green Yoda]

Bench should be good next year though, Adams signed till 2018.

Adams has been a pretty good PH in his career.

Wonder which pitcher we're going to call up in his place.

 

[Carpe Libertatem]

A.J. Pierzynski is actually a really good color guy :lol

Adams has been a pretty good PH in his career.

We replaced him with Piscotty

He has an 8 FIP!

He's not even entertaining like Bartolo. He's just this scowly guy with a mid 2000s haircut and a terrible repertoire.

I get the Padres are cheap and are paying the guy $3m but come on!

At least Ubaldo can show signs once in a while, Jered is a corpse out there.

 

[BFIB]

Welcome to the Barves Matt Adams.

Shit, called that one. I must be psychic. Now let's trade Grichuk and Reyes for Trout.

 

[CygnusXS]

Swanson watch: His wRC+ is currently 59! Which is a big improvement! Somehow!
