That will take care of next season too.  Isn't he still on the 40 man?  I think they can go ahead and take him off.

 

1000% this

[UTPhil2006 3807]

JV activated, Martinez optioned.

He’s on the 60 day IL so he doesn’t count. 
 

Martinez has done a good job. He’s just in the unfortunate position of being one of the few relievers with options remaining

In case anyone was worried about the Brinson trade:

 

[Texas St. Armadillos 1381]

This guy never comes to a complete stop. Looks like a balk every pitch.  Maybe I'm misunderstanding the rule.

Not going to call a balk with no one on base

[Gut Wagon 8065]

A gruntling beginning, both for JV and YA. Me likey.

I sense a positive theme here.

Big man seems good

Today is the day Yordan Corleone settles all family business.

Blummer just said it but this is asinine.

 

Edit: guessing that one is 30 for 30!

Do the Tigers hate homeruns?  Why would you build a park that big?

[Wulaw Horn 19069]

Nice to see Big Dick Alvarez make a return.

Na 1st time. Its ok. I have been to 15 parks and its probably like 9 or 10 for me. Battery area is cool though

[runthebone 7981]

I literally love Justin Verlander.

[elfenix 34236]

In the postseason again

[elfenix 34236]

Back to back 3 hr for the bag man!

[runthebone 7981]

I literally love Alvarez also.

[kevwun 15777]

He may catch up to Judge tonight.

[Honeysucklerose 987]

I don’t know why they let him pitch to Yordan, but thanks.

[UTexasFight 9432]

The catcher’s reaction 

 

lmao 

[Gut Wagon 8065]

Whoa 

[Rip76 4925]

Holy shit.

[Smax 3800]

Crushed

[kevwun 15777]

I bet not many balls have landed in that section in Minute Maid.

I want to take this opportunity to think the Los Angeles Dodgers for trading YA to us in exchange for Josh fields at the end of 2016

[UTexasFight 9432]

Love the first shot in the dugout is JV:

”I don’t know why they let him pitch to him”

[kevwun 15777]

Was he on a low pitch count tonight?

NASA needs to put a rover on the next one. 

[perfectchaos007 6636]

1 pitch for Maton to ruin the no hitter. 

[UTexasFight 9432]

Fuck you maton

first start back, a few weeks until the postseason, 4-0 lead.  this was the correct move.

the goal should be for him to stay healthy, stay fresh, win the cy young.  tonight helps with all that shit.

[WBT 20564]

Yuli now has 38 doubles and 8 homers.  That's like deadball era shit.

he also has 44 rbi.  somehow.

is there a stat that tracks rbi vs potential rbi?  if jose abreu had all of yuli's at bats this year, he'd have 135 rbi.

[UTexasFight 9432]

Yeah but his craziest stat may still be 8 SBs and 0 CS this year.

he had 15 SBs for his career coming in to this year
