The 2 extra years of control on Gray probably look much better to a team like the Nationals.

I proposed Cease and Madrigal the other day and that looks better than this package.

Well Quintana had like 4 years of control. Turner is a FA after next year and Scherzer is a rental. Still I get your point. The Cubs overpaid.

Preller always fucking over the Sox one way or another.

Preller will totally overpay for Berrios now.

According to a lot of Indians fans, his defense has taken a step back this year.

The dick measuring contest in the NL West and AL East is immense. Both divisions might produce 3 playoff teams.

I think Friedman saw this and wanted me to look bad.

Crazy how a journeyman 2B that probably shouldn't have even been on the roster swayed an entire team from getting vaccinated.

I think that's all he got. No grounders.

Wow, this could be part of the reason they just traded Hernandez to us. They're punting the season.

I think they did better than the Rangers in terms of quality. They got 2 top 15 guys in a very deep Yankees system. The Rangers got 4 guys rising in the system for 1.3 years of Gallo. Obviously Frazier and Andujar. Like every Yankees trade.

I guess the Rays had too many bullpen arms...?

We also play them in 2 weeks. Their lineup just went from meh to really good.

Woah, Yankees get 2 big left handed bats and steal him from Boston.

lol if this is who the Dodgers get after the Padres get Scherzer, it's gonna be a really bad deadline for them.

Yup the 2nd AB did look a little off. He fouled off a couple of pitches right down the middle. If his groin was bothering him, that could explain why.

I looked back at his 3rd AB yesterday. He swung and missed the first pitch and something seemed to bother him. He was kind of stretching his leg after the swing. Then he lined out to first and hobbled down the line with his bat in his hand. I'm thinking he may have tweaked it in his 1st AB when he ran down the line hard on a grounder to SS.

That doesn't sound encouraging. If it wasn't serious they probably would have said so already.

It's hard to just turn it on when you've been listless on offense for 2 weeks and then you get shutout by Carlos Hernandez and the worst guys in the Royals bullpen. I hope I'm wrong, but I think we've hit our rough stretch and we're running out of bad teams to beat up on in the schedule.

So I wasn't too far off with how I thought we'd play. We went 6-8 instead of 7-7 and honestly we played like shit for every series but 1 so it almost feels like we were lucky to make it out of this stretch with 6 wins. Cleveland went 5-7, a little better than I thought, but still pretty bad. We can put away this Cleveland team with a sweep. A series loss wouldn't be the end of the world, but getting swept would mean getting Cleveland back in the race right when our schedule gets tough in August.

We scored 10 runs all series. 3 of them on one swing. Something's gotta get fixed.

I always wondered how he was able to get guys out with a 93 MPH fastball. Turns out if you had elite spin rates, it's not impossible. But without it? No shot.

Good lord Yoan...have yourself a series.

This would suck.
