Painfully, seems like the best bet. I don't know what El Hombre may have done to so greatly offend The Baseball Gods, but he should probably sacrifice a goat or something.
I have a good feeling about this!
So rumors are the Brewers were the team to claim Harvey, but the Reds are keeping him. Saying they like him, something something bullshit. Wasn't the whole idea of trading for him so they could maybe flip him for something? Bad teams gonna bad.
Javy got greedy.
Such a slow group of guys on the bases now, have to go station to station.
Based on a review - with absolutely no clear angle on the Cubs broadcast - a horrible AB.
Swung at a clear ball 4, fouling it off, then grounding into inning ending 1-2-3 DP. Blugh
Mets want to see Jay Bruce at 1B “quite a lot,” per MC, to figure out if he’s a full-time 1B next season, a full-time RF, or combo of both. Bruce said hip is as good as it’ll get for now & plantar fasciitis is much better. Would like Spring Training at 1B if he’s there full time.
This is indeed the very lowest-hanging of the low-hanging fruit. It's shameful that this is even still an issue.
Yeah. There's no justification to hanging on to Harvey, unless they really think they have a shot of re-signing him. Since it's Boras, that seems very unlikely.
Had to go into the office today because work is stupid, so listened to the 6th inning on on the ride home - and parked just as Bote hit the HR. I'm really starting to feel some magic with this team - and in particular, the unexpected (Bote) and the imports (Hamels and Murphy). Other than the three pitchers we wish all agree need a few years in a gulag -- I really love this team. Fun bunch.
His first was on the first pitch.
Also, two of the five (the two lowest in WPA, because they were both early-game homers) have come against Francisco Liriano.
Go Grinders ! (if you lose to the effin O's , I will unfriend you for 5 games !)
Cmon Yankees ya know you want him.
Hope he retires soon. It is kinda hard to watch him, without feeling sorry all the time.
I've never seen anything like it...
In case you haven't noticed, baseball players are basically idiots with no sense of style whatsoever.
Let them have their bum fum !
You’ve not heard about Players Weekend?
Mookie Betts (25) aka 'the Loser' has never heard anything more stupid in his life.
we were tempting to go for the 3rd-row upper deck seats behind home plate on Stubhub for 6 bucks, but we decided to take 16th row-from-field seats between home plate and third base for $39 instead.
gotta love combo of a bad team and a baseball city that is not, well, the most loyal shall we say (also would apply to the Yankees if they ever suck again, they haven't had a losing season since 1992, when their only good SP was Melido Perez, Pascual's brother).
I was tempted to go for dugout seats for $75 - not front row, I mean you sit next to manager Mickey Calloway.
:)
Bruce feels like a guy to me that would have a second career if he moves to first base. I don't really follow him that well, but he seems like one of those guys who needs a less stressful defensive position for health reasons, and that the lack of mobility required for the position will allow him to added more mass(both muscle and fat, which will allow him to up his offensive game, while probably not really changing his defensive value)
I like the Cardinals player uniform, it's not something I want to see everyday, but as an alternate it's not hideous, and has kinda a cool factor.
Friggin quick-pitcher, even worse that molina, the eggless framer !
It’s Psycho.
Not a popular way to sentence for me anymore, at least not in a Cardinals kind of way.
Steve Lyons??? (note I don't know if this is the answer or not, but that is the nickname I remember for Lyons)
???? I'm missing something here.
Forget it Jake, it's Colorado.
There’s not another I’m aware of.
ok, that's Mets-Nationals
he texted "Mets-Gnats" and I figured that was an autocorrect
:)
For his knee or his performance, because he's like 3rd in lowest exit velocity over the last 2 years ...
The rumor said an "unknown team" claimed him, and I'm thinking it's more like 12 teams claimed him, the earliest team to make a claim on him was probably the Nationals, if not them, then the Dodgers had to be the first team to make the claim... if he made it to the Phillies, then there are some pretty piss poor gm's out there(note: I haven't really looked at the Dodgers to see if they had the room to make a claim, a small part of me says that they didn't have any ability to make it.... but the Phillies should be the worst team in the NL to "have" to make a claim for him. )
has he batted in st. louis since he was acquired? he's gonna get a big welcome.
i like ol' matt ... i saw his MLB debut in L.A. years ago.
This is the thing "smart baseball" is something that lesser players need to do to stay in the majors, it's not something you want from your starters except maybe 30 or so plate appearances in a season.
and blackmon pokes a single through the infield on a bad pitch.
this after a walk ...
oh god ... bases loaded on another walk ...
whew! out of the jam ...
oh lord ... o'neil gets a bad jump on a ball that carries, and the rockies have a man on second, two outs, bottom of the ninth ...
come ON, bud!1!1!!!1
GOOD PLAY BY WONG TO GET THE FORCE FROM GYORKO ON A BIG BOUNCER!1!!1!1
CARDS WIN!!!
BEDTIME FOR ALL YOU LEAST COAST BTFers!!!11!!!!
It's amazing how teams can score runs in the regular 9 innings, but when it gets to extras with bullpen relievers on nobody can seem to get so much as a baserunner. Why don't they always play like it's extra innings during the first 9 innings??
And the Brewers came back to win! After a couple of walks, Ryan Braun struck out for the second out. Then another walk... to the relief pitcher! Then ground ball singles by Kratz (the backup catcher) and Arcia (the .215 hitting shortstop) for the win.
I guess I've heard vague references to it. What is it and what does it have to do with the horrible uniforms?
I hate them all on principle -- just another stupid "alt uniform" money grab -- but the Cards should reverse the colors and wear blue with red sleeves rather than red with blue. The red fronts obscure both the "Cardinals" lettering and those beautiful birds. From the upper deck where I was last night all you could see was the yellow bat across the front.
