Guess I'll just watch this Sparty game.

Happy for him.

It's a collaborative process mmmkay? wait, you got a fire sticker for saying Rick Hahn makes the day to day IL decisions? Now that is lol.

Great decision from TLR. Not sure it's one Rickie would have made.

So a 12 run lead in the 8th for Kimbrel?

trust me we didn't even like the vests back in the early aughts. never looked any good.

Last year he had some good breaking stuff this year sure as if he isn't pinpoint in command they are just going to let him fall behind and look for his shit fastball. It would help tremendously tonight if he could grab some early count strikes on off speed.

The 83s are awesome. Let's get the series started with a dub and keep the Tribe dreaming of any sort of crazy comeback.

how's burger looked after coming back from the wrist soreness?

They really did. I know they still have quite a few good prospects but they really don't have much to trade from anymore and they have some guys you'd expect to start declining in earnest next year.

Crazy how the Mariners keep winning. Awesome they beat the 'Stros for us two days in a row. I feel the Sox can still get that 2nd seed in the AL.

We can offer him the QO right? No brainer, take the draft pick and if in some crazy world he accepts you'll gladly take him on a one year market rate deal.

Thanks for the warning.

No thanks. The sort of crippling contract for an aging slugger that has sunk quite a few clubs' championship window, or hastened it closing. Anybody checked Gallo's stats in NYC since the trade?

fancy new tags you got and avatar.

These guys are all completely fungible. No need for a defensive slap hitting OF with Billy back.

with jose it's talking him into the breaks that is the problem. love that attitude but at a certain point it's harmful to the team.

what happened?

Probably want to get Jose off his feet a bit down the stretch and Vaughn for whatever reason gets rested all the time anyways.

probably was a "do right by the vet" sorta move. small things like that add up to goodwill around the league come FA and such.

So TA can be back the 8th? Not bad, hopefully he can rest up and get right for the playoffs.

Same reason you don't see many of the type of injuries that Robert and Buxton had in the NFL and that is baseball is a stop and go sport with a daily grind whereas in football the muscles are always warm in game and you get 6 days to recover. I didn't play football psst HS but I played like 90% of our snaps and I would say it's a completely different athletic grind than baseball. Similar in difficulty but completely different. One thing I'd say that was similar was that something is almost always bothering you in both sports. In baseball, especially in college when we were playing 40 games in a two months, my hands were always beat up and my arm was almost always sore. In HS football it was usually a mild ankle sprain or similar "get rolled up on" type injury like a knee sprain. Anyways, that's my 2 cents. I think baseball should do more to have guys staying warm between ABs. Maybe more guys will start riding a bike like you see in the NBA. I feel the same way about soccer. I never understood how in soccer a sub can warmup for literally like 3 minutes and then be expected to go balls to the wall for 20 minutes or whatever. That's just not enough time to get loose and get the blood flowing into the muscles and joints.

Steamer projects a 93 wRC+ for him, which isn't bad for a utility IF. K rate is concerning but based on that ISO he posted in AA he laces the ball around the park. Not easy to put up a .234 ISO in Birmingham.

one of the worst nicknames conceivable.

yoan's bat is looking a lot quicker. maybe he's feeling healthy for once.
