Profar will finally get his chance to show he can be an everyday player. I don’t think I’m exaggerating when I say this is his last chance, at least for us.

This fucking blows man

Brawl at Fenway. Some real punches were exchanged. Have to see the replay to see if Sanchez landed any sucker punches this time.

Some wild afternoon baseball today.

Also for reference, the top 10 prospects in MLB in 2013 were: Profar, Oscar Taveras (RIP), Dylan Bundy, Wil Myers, Xander Bogaerts, Gerrit Cole, Tyler Skaggs, Jose Fernandez, Zack Wheeler and Christian Yelich. Most of that list worked out. Just not for us cause we’re cursed

Ozzie Albies plays every game like he’s on coke and I’m here for it.

Joey was worth 3 wins last year. He’s not part of the problem

Rangers top prospects in 2013: 1) Jurickson Profar - injuries derailed what could’ve been an all star career. Now utility player at best. 2) Mike Olt - also had frequent injuries. Traded to Cubs for Matt Garza. Clear bust. 3) Martin Perez - never the same after TJ but has at least been durable last 2 seasons. League average starter. 4) Leonys Martin - showed flashes but could never hit enough. Still an elite CF. 5) Luis Sardinas - good defender but couldn’t hit. Traded for Gallardo. 6) Luke Jackson - didn’t work as a starter. Switched to bullpen and then didn’t work either. 7) Cody Buckel - who? 8) Lewis Brinson - could be a star. In an ideal world, would be our current CF. Instead, we got 12 months of shitty Lucroy and Jeffress. 9) Justin Grimm - didn’t turn into a starter. Traded for Garza. Has a WS ring so good for him 10) Jorge Alfaro - main piece in the Hamels trade, but has been a bust so far. No patience at all. Doubt he turns into anything.

The Yankees, to put it kindly, are getting skullfucked

God damnit

IKF called up for his first taste of the majors.

We are currently: 14th in pitching WAR (woo?) 24th in batting WAR 27th in fangraphs Defense rating. Not great!

Greg Holland welcomes himself to STL and gives it right back

If only we had a top hitting prospect in the minors ready to rake...#freewillie

Also who the f is this guy

Yeah this has been a shit ass first 12 games. The hitting has been non competitive

Thru 6

Scherzer nearly pitched a Maddux. 102 pitch CGSO with 10Ks, 0 BBs and 2 hits against a hot offense. Is that good?

Odor is hurt. If he misses time our bench becomes Tocci, Centeno, and Alberto. Fuck me

I mean pitching is very physically demanding...

You have to pick to use him as a hitter or a pitcher each week and only get hitting or pitching stats. He’s currently the #1 pitcher in my league

Good news is that we don’t have to face Ohtani on the mound this week. Bad news is we have to face him at the plate.

I’m not sure if Callaway intentionally walking the bases loaded was brilliant or stupid but it worked

ARod basically just admitted on the SNB broadcast that he sold out to the highest bidder in 2000 and that he would’ve played for the Mets if he could go back.
