fathom

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jun 18, 2017 -> 03:57 AM) They have won 3 in a row and have an 11 game lead. if they haven't been willing to meet the price for Robertson yet, it looks like it may be a while. They need some bullpen help, no one is saying otherwise, but the huge lead gives them time. Yep we needed mets to win this weekend series in order to put pressure on them to improve

So I think the gun on Comcast was accurate for Rodon, which means he was 88-90 all game

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 18, 2017 -> 02:18 AM) He won't be. Wite mentioned Abreu may be one of the least likely trade candidates in the League. I suspect Avi is even less likely. And I'm fine with it. To trade him, you better get superstar value for him.

Hawk might cry if Avi is traded.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 18, 2017 -> 01:55 AM) Hyper-extended elbow, xrays negative. Good, looked awful

QUOTE (Hatchetman @ Jun 18, 2017 -> 01:18 AM) Rodon 5.2, 7 hits 3 runs 1BB 1K 1K is kind of frightening. Was clearly working on things tonight. Barely tried to bury the slider.

Gleyber might have suffered a serious arm injury today. Could make Yankees interested in Frazier

3 good at bats for Yoan tonight

Mateo can't hit. Don't like him as the 2nd piece

QUOTE (Tony @ Jun 17, 2017 -> 11:41 PM) Sox deserve some credit as wel. They are a VERY conservative organization overall, and have been pleasantly surprised how they have embraced the "rebuild" on social media, providing graphics and stat updates each day from top performers in the system. Yep they sense the fans have bought in so they are doing their best to promote it

In true Rodon fashion, he starts throwing harder after allowing a run

QUOTE (Tony @ Jun 18, 2017 -> 12:36 AM) Big ups to Comcast for putting these games on, really nice. Yep, Chuck and Guff have done an incredible job this year

QUOTE (KnightsOnMintSt @ Jun 17, 2017 -> 11:20 PM) Hoping for a really good outing from Rodon tonight. Can't wait to have him back with the big club. Seems to be focusing on command tonight, as velocity is near 90 (adjusted for slow gun)

Another bullpen implosion

Cafardo mentioned Avi as a possible target for the Cards. If they want to give up C. Kelly and Perez for him, there could be a fit.

Great outing for Robertson. Core guys with good offense today

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Jun 17, 2017 -> 03:09 AM) David Robertson, in save situations, has given up four hits this year. 41 AB, 4 BB, 4 hits. IIRC, 3 of the hits were in one outing (Tigers)

QUOTE (daggins @ Jun 17, 2017 -> 06:47 PM) TRADE PELFREY NOW He won't get you anything significant, but he could totally be a fit as a middle reliever for a contending team

Well here comes another three years of bunts

Anderson needs to try and turn on inside fastballs

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 17, 2017 -> 02:12 AM) Ugh...it appeared last week during the Marlins series that they had made that decision. 6 spot for Cubs in 9th

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 17, 2017 -> 02:11 AM) Rivero! Have they not turned it over to him yet? Nope, pitched 8th tonight.

Also, Gregory Polanco has to win the award for least improved player. His defense is comical

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 17, 2017 -> 03:08 AM) What? They have one of the best closers in baseball. Who?
