This is the most Score call I've ever heard. Meatball fan throws out dumb and lopsided trade idea. Hosts somehow think that his trade idea wasn't lopsided enough and thinks it should only be worse.

They had to be joking right?

He had good command last year. He rarely has had that this year. In the starts where he did have good command (vs. Tampa and Toronto especially), he's looked pretty good. If he can throw that cutter effectively inside to righties and the change up down and away to lefties, he's got a chance.

The Quintana trade definitely shortened their window by a few years. Although you could argue that had they gotten the Quintana they thought they were getting, they could have gotten to a WS in 17 and 18.

I would skip Lynn from pitching against Houston, he always sucks against them. If both Lynn and Rodon pitch in the ASG, they should be on regular rest by Sunday. I'd go Giolito, Cease, Rodon, Lynn, Keuchel.

Bryant hit just .114 in June with a 27 wRC+. And here I thought Jose had a bad June. That horrible month might be a hit to his sky high trade value from the first 2 months of the season.

With Grandal's injury, I'd rather get someone right after the ASB so we can survive the rest of July and get to the deadline at least 15 games above .500.

The Tigers might be winless against us if it wasn't for fucking Eric Haase. We really need to figure out how to pitch (or sometimes pitch around) that guy.

If anything, him going to Hendriks in the 8th against the middle of their order was one of his best tactical decisions of the year. We've probably blown almost 10 leads in the 8th this year.

Joc, like Eaton, was good for one month and has been below replacement level in every way in the other 2 months. At least Joc stayed healthy though.

He's said that he wants to stay in Texas. With how well he's been hitting his price probably just doubled in the past month or so. The best time to get him was probably a few weeks after Robert went down. But I don't think teams like to make big trades that early in the season.

Twins threw him a lot of pitches outside and he really didn't have much to hit all series. And when he did there was a lot of weak contact. It appears that teams are already adjusting and staying away from him.

Yup. Especially if it's a combined no hitter. The last 6 outs of a no hitter are probably the toughest ones to get.

Nelson Cruz - was already on the team Happ - White Sox broke him Simmons - can't hit and sloppy in the field Shoemaker - DFA'd Robles - Lost without the sticky Colome - Lost the closer job in like 2 weeks What an offseason

And to think, it could have been double digits if Gio and Keuchel didn't shit the bed against the Tigers. All before the ASB.

Indians just got no hit for the 3rd time this year. Sox are 8 games up!

When's the last time a team was projected to win 90+ games ended up winning 67 instead?

Unfortunately better than Grandal or Collins is a pretty low bar. Yaz might frame it pretty well, but he's bad at pretty much everything else defensively.

Dude he's in A+ ball lmao. Even then he's striking out 1/3 of the time down there and hitting under .250. He's not ML ready.

People need to stop thinking that just cause young hitters can hit straight 4 seam fastballs that they can hit sinkers and cutters from one of the best pitchers in the AL. It's just silly.

It's what they get for scoreboard watching on April 5th.

That's really unfortunate for Eaton cause nobody was hitting Berrios last night. He did come up with a pretty big hit to get the third run in. I'd have to imagine him getting lost along with Goodwin on that Cruz fly ball didn't help his cause, as that ball landed closer to Eaton than it did Goodwin.

Orioles aren't just gonna rollover. Those guys really need to right the ship.

Indians now down 4-0 in the 5th.

It helps that we've played them when Buxton's been injured. But even with him, their pitching has regressed so badly that they're maybe a .500 team with an MVP caliber player in CF.
