Devers continues to get dominated this weekend

The Yankees dominate everyone, even when they lose.

I sense Birds fans are paying attention again.  Elias came from Houston with his analytics guy and said up front they were going in a completely new direction to rebuild the organization from the bottom up … and they’re doing it with success.

The O’s now have one of the highest rated farm systems in baseball.  They've drafted well and have 4 picks (I believe) in the first two rounds of this year’s draft including 1-1.  So far, Elias has been true to his word.

That’s the same path, obviously, that Houston took while he was there and it worked out for the Astros. Good luck. Liked Baltimore best in that division since Ripken and Hammonds (was a big Stanford fan growing up when he was there) and it’s easy to root against the Yanks and Red Sox.

Funny thing to post on a night they won 14-1.

so back to my usual wonky schedule bitchfest, the dodgers and angels appear to have tomorrow off.  a sunday.  before the all-star break.  an all-star game that's in la.

dodgers play on thursday but the angels don't play until friday, which basically gives them 6 days between games.

none of it affects teams i care about, but what the fuck.  meanwhile the astros and yankees play a double-header on thursday.

I heard the announcer tonight say that this season the Angels have had off days on Memorial Day, 4th of July, and tomorrow.  WTF?

Yankee Stadium is a perfect place for Carpenter to play. To go from the couch to the best team in baseball and being a big contributor is pretty cool, especially after how his tenure in St. Louis ended.

Guess who's back, back again...

[Helobious 9481]

 

[Scraps 13542]

Well Sale back to the IL

[Helobious 9481]

Jesus, Chris Sale just got completely fucked by a line drive. Looked ugly. Dude can’t catch a break at all anymore.

 

[ztejas 43266]

Maybe God just doesn't want him to play baseball. 

[Helobious 9481]

Every anti-pitch clock person needs to watch this Sawamura guy pitch. Dude is averaging over 35 seconds between pitches. Brutal.

[Beau Vine 54003]

 

[shadow_operative2.0 15834]

Ha, he’s lucky that’s their last home game for awhile.

Pirates are probably in negotiations with him.

In today’s game, the same kid made a running backhand stab of a foul ball that would have missed the bullpen bench altogether.  Still, the Rays relievers gave him props for the stop.  He was smiling ear to ear.

Jim Palmer .. TIC .. said the ball boy was out taking grounders early this morning to avoid a repeat misplay.

This kid will rake in free agency.

Aww man that just sucks for him. You never want to see guys get injuries. I am sure Hicks, of all people, can greatly empathize with injuries derailing a season.

I think it is probably time to waive Gallo. He has turned into Chris Davis at the plate. Putting him in the lineup hurts the offense. Kinda similar to having to watch Higashioka bat as well. Find a good backup catcher to replace him at the deadline.

Well both of these kids are too good for Pittsburgh, Cubbie gonna rake for sure. 

[VirginiaLonghorn 4750]

O’s finish the first half at .500.  They have to win 7 more games this season to exceed last year’s win total.

Progress is being made …

[shadow_operative2.0 15834]

 

That's a little ridiculous.

Just wait till Roger Pavlik gets added to the AL staff.

*Sidenote: 5 Yankees to just 1 Astro on the top 100 prospects list right now. Which one of us just buys players and doesn’t draft or develop anyone again? 

to be fair, the yankees typically have much higher draft picks than the astros.

Kershaw v. McClanahan

This is absurd.  STL isn't spending $500M on anyone.

Why would a team’s willingness to meet Soto’s contract demands determine who the favorite to land him is?  It’s all about what package Washington gets in return. They don’t give a shit if Soto’s happy.

Yeah, would not be a St. Louisy thing to do.  And that would give San Diego 3 contracts totaling $1.14 billion.

Is this a serious question?

[Sbbruin 21737]

Glad Kershaw is getting his first AS game start.  Kersh v Ohtani to open the game.  That'll be fun.  

[Helobious 9481]

Can’t fucking wait to watch “The Captain” tonight after the HR Derby. 

[TonyTexas 10482]

I’m hoping for a tie

 

[Scraps 13542]

There are actually morons picking Pujols to win the HRD

Oh wait its just Harold Reynolds and Greg Amsinger
