Yeah, that's even less believable.  Rob Manfred handed an 80-game suspension to one of MLB's most marketed players for 80 games without any sort of a hearing and without notifying the franchise first?  

In fairness, Manfred seems like a dipshit.

Yeah, but he knows who pays him.

I swear I read somewhere that  Preller heard it from Tatis reps but my point about not knowing before the TD stands. Here’s what he told reporters 

Quote

Preller confirmed to reporters (including Kevin Acee of the San Diego Union-Tribune and Dennis Lin of the Athletic) that the organization learned about the suspension this afternoon, around two hours before it was made public.

Judge staying on a nice pace. Missed him getting 46 last night.

Yeah, I read that too.  I don't believe it for the reasons mentioned.

Man, the Dodgers are just crushing teams. As an Astros fan, I’m glad they’re in the NL. 

[Beau Vine 54238]

I mean...Good Lord...

That was very un-Buxton-like.

You probably could have posted this in the Astros thread.

So that’s about a $2.5M hit to Tatis, Jr.   Hope it was worth it, dumbass.  

at least it doesn't disqualify him from getting in the HOF.

[shadow_operative2.0 15985]

What Buxton didn't do. 

 

[Helobious 9454]

I was at Astros-A’s tonight. The A’s should probably just fold as a franchise. They hopelessly suck.
 

$9 for dippin dots is fucking sodomy by the way. And I still bought some because I’m a moron.

[shadow_operative2.0 15985]

Holy shit, potential walkoff ITPer thrown out at the plate at LAA. Minn LF Nick Gordon dove for it, game tied now.

Good thing Correa has a gun

Gordon came in to play D in the 8th.

Buxton made up for it!! 

 

Holy shit, announcers had me fooled.

Shohei is so incredibly fucking stupid there. 

[shadow_operative2.0 15985]

Taylor Ward walked that bitch off. 

 

Bad, bad loss for Minn.

he's seriously reminiscent of a tall, ruhr handed michael vick. he just flicks his wrist and the ball flies out like a missile.

Is that third base one of those newfangled bullshits? Jesus christ

[Scraps 13561]

PSA

This Kay and Arod telecast is mostly horrible, but jeter is going to be on with them at 8 eastern. So hopefully they fight.

[shadow_operative2.0 15985]

This Devers cat is alright.

The Yankees legitimately do not try on Sunday getaway games. They just want to gtfo as fast as possible. I’ve never seen anything like it. On top of that, they suck.

I don’t have a favorite NFL team, nor do I play fantasy. It’s actually pretty fucking nice to just turn on the tv on Sunday and watch whoever’s playing with no attachments.

Could someone take the booze away from putt and point him in the right direction again?

What did I ever do to deserve having to watch Gallo, Hicks, Donaldson, Torres, and IKF all play for my favorite team. What was it. I can’t take this anymore.

BOR just gave us two shutout QS in a row.  You could say three, but LMJ would come after you on Twitter for calling him BOR.

Yeah, huge bummer but the reality is he hasn’t pitched in a couple months, and hasn’t pitched well even when he was going.   Dustin May coming back this weekend.  Urias likely to be our #1, and the a mix of Kershaw, Gonsolin, Anderson, and May will need to get it done in the postseason.  Some young arms coming up will give them rest in September.  Buehler was just going to hopefully be a bonus.  
 

Urias looked good tonight.
