how the f*** did he hit that?

walk him.

JFC, another fucking popup on a mediocre fastball down the middle. WTF.

This is a guy Colson can light up his fastball.

Huh, the video shows nothing really. He like threw a pitch, looked at ump, gestured to dugout and he came out. Maybe not cardiac, don't want to speculate like that, I take it back.

yea hope he's OK, never want to see that.

they were saying he didn't "look right" in warmups and ump and catcher and trainers had to intervene.

Maybe a cardiac thing based on Astros broadcast, yikes.

WTF?

Martin is throwing his mix well tonight.

Just get any vet catcher that is a positive WAR player. I can't do this Romo Qeruo thing anymore.

Ah, the benefits of BABIP as a spray hitter.

Or not, Mune did not move up.

Good enough. Good job moving up Mune.

Great AB.

Was that PCA's succubus?

at least he's taking his walks.

And it ain't reggie hammond!

I posted that in the central thread last night. They have a really fucking easy bullshit schedule and on paper have the most talent in the division. I think they hold onto Skubal and just take the comp pick, but I just read that if they go into lux tax with any additions, and they are close payroll wise, that pick goes to 4th round -- at least under current CBA. Who knows how that will look after the lockout. Regardless, Tigers are still a threat.

I wonder if the Mariners would do a minor deal for Hays or Pereria, whoever they like more, in return for a reliever of our choice. Mariners have a 77 wRC+ out of RF this year, Hays is projected by zips for 97. If they want someone a little younger but less proven Pereria is projected for 93. Assuming both guys are healthy they'd be an upgrade for them against LHP. Their part time RF, Luke Raley has a 51 wRC+ against LHP. Our target would likely be Eduard Lazardo, who would slot in as our 7th inning guy most nights depending on matchups. He's been a bit lucky with strand rate, but would arguably be our 2nd best righty out of the pen behind Taylor. Mariners would probably want an A ball lotto ticket as well, maybe two. Or we could send them some cash and a PTBNL. 2 million would pickup the rest of hays' salary.

I fucking hate Romo in front of the top of the order. It should be Meidroth or Peters. Probably Peters.

There was so much bad juju around that time here. Was Liam probably sick and didn't have the diagnosis yet? I was sitting on a beach in N. MI when that trade went down, I remember posting here I believe that it was a wild ass swing but I was ready to move on from Madrigal, turned out nobody really won that one.

Most variable position in the sport and one dependent on the two other legs of a good team (SP and offense) is not one you really want to go all in on usually.

I have KW and Hahn PTSD. I'm totally expecting us to overpay for someone who will underperform while shipping out prospects that will fill holes on some other team as ones open on our roster.
