Does this look odd to anyone else?

It’s odd to sort the standings by run differential. But you did it. Thus you must odd.

Lol! Fuck me. Not sure how I did that. Carry on.

I wonder what the Astros could get for Urquidy. Javier has replaced him in the pecking order, and when everyone's favorite whipping boy gets back from the IL, Jose is the worst starter stuff wise on the 40 man roster. I wonder if Jose, Leon, and someone else would be enough for Bryan Reynolds.

Kempin ain't easy in the leadoff spot tonight

The problem is that you probably have to trade Urquidy to a contender or quasi contender who gets desperate. I would think that what you could get for him (or a guy like Odorizzi) is probably best figured by who gets a major injury in June or July, thinks they can make the playoffs and is quasi desperate.  Sure, Urquidy would be a welcome addition to a bunch of different staffs b/c there is a definite advantage to trotting out average at the BOR.  But who other than a contender for the playoffs that is desperate is going to pay for that?

I hope Altuve's brain is OK, but last time he got hurt, he started raking, so I assume he's hitting .350 the rest of the year.

I have to admit that my initial thought was wulaw's post and whether it would improve his baserunning.

I can’t take credit for that. I didn’t drop that question.

Still no lineup. Someone remind Dusty

Just looking at my tickets for the month of June- anyone want to go to the Mets game for free on Wednesday June 22? PM me if so.  As always, no purchase necessary, no obligation, we ask only that you ask for tickets if you plan on going to the game and not selling them online blah blah blah.

Might also have 2 for the Mariners on Tuesday the 7th...

Waiting for some Altuve warmup before deciding if he plays.

Watching his triple in person yesterday, he is fucking electric and fast as fuck.

 

He's insane and strikes out way too much, but it was amazing to see him explode around the bases.

[Wulaw Horn 19,151]

He’s basically the absolutely perfect guy to be PR and defensive replacement in the playoffs. 

[TonyTexas 10,525]

Lineup for the last late game for awhile

released two hour late because Astros put Altuve through extra concussion protocol 

[cabowabo 4,514]

Why does MLB allow that stupid ass drum shit?  This isn’t a fucking soccer match. It’s hard enough listening to that shit on TV….I can’t even imagine having to endure that in person.  On another note, how the hell does Oakland still have an MLB team?  That stadium is a fucking abortion.

It’s seems there has been a lot of trouble with streaming lately.  When mlb66 isn’t working, I find that other links from sportsurge etc. don’t work either. I don’t know why that is.

Elvis with an .090 xBA gets a double and Yuli with a .550 xBA lines out

stupid base running by the rookie 

[cabowabo 4,514]

What the fuck are you doing Peña?

[WBT 20,666]

Chazzy Fizz!

What was Pena doing?  Maybe thought the throw to 2nd was going to be over his head?

[Scraps 13,573]

Well at least we tied it

[Smax 3,800]

Come on rook

[Wulaw Horn 19,151]

Cut the kid some slack, he’s just fitting in. 

[Gut Wagon 8,087]

What exactly happened there? MLB.com shows it's still 1-0. 
 

Edit: They finally updated to 1-1.

He's afraid Dusty will sit him if he shows some sort of competence on the field.

[runthebone 8,036]

With Maton, you're just hoping to give up only one run.

[tx 3 putt 77,402]

I'm watching the A's broadcast, they made a good point - he saw kemp stumble some and got aggressive. had kemp fallen down, he scores easily 

[Scraps 13,573]

Maton meh

Why is he on in the 5th?

[Gut Wagon 8,087]

Exhibit A in why we can't keep trotting Maton out there. He's raw meat in a piranha pool.
