Back in LF tonight. RBI single in first AB.

QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Nov 6, 2017 -> 12:52 PM) Remember when Gordon Beckham was "Jeter but better"? I think it was more like Ryne Sandberg.

Back in the lineup today as the DH, single in first at bat. 10th inning 2-rbi triple, scores on error. Good sign his leg is ok hopefully.

QUOTE (GenericUserName @ Nov 3, 2017 -> 06:06 PM) Do we have to put him on the 40 since we claimed him off waivers? Yes, unless they try to move him through waivers too, and risk losing him also.

QUOTE (ChiliIrishHammock24 @ Nov 3, 2017 -> 01:53 AM) I'm pretty certain that was Wednesday's game, and and he was removed after that play. He did not play Thursday according to mlbfarm.com His team didn’t play Thursday, and he’s not in the lineup tonight.

Never know, could be Abreu trade coming, Gillaspie in Chicago, and this guy in Charlotte. Or not.

Hey SI, how about a Sox champions in 2020 cover?

Jimenez got a double in his first AB and was replaced with a pinch runner. Yuck.

I feel like if the Astros only try to hit homers, the same thing is going to happen tonight that did last night. They might get one, but that's about it. Altuve and Correa have to be stars tonight, or LA will be winning.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Oct 31, 2017 -> 02:05 PM) Ugh, please no more guys who are coming off the stuff. Exactly. Once you’re in the MLBPA, and get busted, you’re dead to me.

QUOTE (flavum @ Oct 21, 2017 -> 10:40 PM) Astros in 6 Altuve MVP I suppose if Altuve has a big game, it's possible, but Bregman and Springer are probably leading that unless I'm forgetting something. A Game 7 would be cool, but I'm hoping Verlander throws a complete game, and the Astros win 2-0.

Mercy

Phillies hiring Gabe Kapler.

Definitely some bargaining happened with the MLBPA. Personally, I think a fine would have been a just penalty, but these aren’t the old days. If has to be a suspension, then it should have been just tonight and move on. Anyway, I hope he goes 0-4 tonight, and the Dodgers tie it up.

5 games for Gurriel in 2018. Bulls***.

Tilson playing his first “real” game since his dive in Detroit. http://mlb.mlb.com/milb/stats/stats.jsp?si...gddwin_msswin_1

Just based on precedence, I don't think Gurriel is going to avoid not playing tonight. Manfred is meeting with him, and I'm sure the Astros' hands are tied. Childish move. I wish they could fine him heavily and move on, but other guys have been suspended for things not on TV.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Oct 27, 2017 -> 03:06 PM) Maybe it's just me but I thought the first season of Stranger Things was a bit overrated. Agreed. There’s a lot of tv like that. It’s not bad, just overrated. I’m looking at you, This Is Us.

^The ball is juiced in Houston too. 7:20 first pitch the rest of the World Series.

Reds claim Micah Johnson off waivers from Atlanta. Big off day during the World Series.

Renteria did a good with what he had, and will obviously get a full three years. He’ll be judged on the progression in 18 and 19.
