All 3 of those guys will be there come October. Sevy is as talented a pitcher as there is, Tanaka turns it up in crunch time, and you can never count out veteran presents. And Cashman isn’t done making moves, genius. He’ll get another starter before the playoffs. Granted the trade market for starters is embarrassingly bad this year but he’ll find a serviceable one.

Nice little11-run swing administered by Oak tonight. 

God I love everything about this team except staying up past midnight to watch their inevitable comebacks. That and the fact we're somehow still only third in the division.

Sevy will be pitching in the wild card game, and then if you win that you get to go up against boston or houston with Tanaka and CC starting on the road. Good luck.

Rangers should have used more position players tonight.
Only half joking.
Couldn’t have done any worse than Bibens-Dirxx who gave up 3 in the 10th...3 days after throwing 87 pitches and giving up 11 runs in 107 degree heat.

The Yankees have owned Houston & Boston this year. It’s the fluky one game wild card anything can happen shit that is concerning if it gets to that.

I want to enjoy this Dodgers/Philly game that’s now in the 16th...except that the know somewhere Manfred is going to use this an example of why MLB needs to start a runner on 2nd in extras soon.

BP has Oakland at a 50% chance to make the playoffs; Mariners at 42%. 

All respect to MC Fresh Breath, but this A's team is fucking fun right now. 

 

Also, the NL WC race could be a doozy.

Anthony Gose throws 100 in AA for them now, good chance he’ll be up sooner rather than later. 

Holy shit, I didn't realize that guy was a pitcher now...

An OBP greater than SLG is something special.

Someone wrote an article about this last week.  IIRC, DD is the first guy to do it in several years.  It used to happen more often.  It motivated me to look up Lance Blankenship.

DD is a 4th/5th OF on a decent MLB team, but Tocci is a joke.  Shows how incredibly thin the Rangers are that they are dead set on keeping that dude around.  

Posted

Tocci is awful but he really should be in AA. The rangers for whatever reason want to see what he becomes in 2-3 years, but they have to keep at MLB level cause of the whole rule 5 thing. 

I cant recall the last time a team purposely kept someone so bad at the MLB level just because he was a rule 5 pick. Any others?

I looked up Tocci and he's at .143/.234/.190 so now I see you're point.  I didn't get why you would be upset about DDJ being sent down but...yikes.

yes, regular season means totally everything all the time awesome.

the real question is whether aaron boone has the stones to start tanaka in the wc game, knowing full well he won't win the alds without severino going twice.

Rays trade Nathan Eovaldi to the Red Sox for a (not very good) prospect. 

Depends on how he conducts himself, but Boston expects a maestro performance and thinks they can get The Four Seasons out of Eovaldi.

I assume this is a really good joke that went over my head because I'm a cultural boob?

if they were smart, they would go ahead and trade degrom.  they'd get a really nice return and he likely won't pitch a single important game for the mets ever.  i hope they don't, because he'll end up going to the red sox, yankees, or dodgers, but that's gotta be the move.  no reason to keep him.  although they're the mets, so they likely don't consider reasons when making decisions.

That has to be the biggest waste of a pitching staff ever. They have no ability to put anyone around them and need to just go ahead and cash in on the whole bunch and try and restock their garbage farm system.

It’s an example of why you shouldn’t build your team around young pitching. Sure you might make a good run for a season or 2, but long term it’s a poor strategy. Pitchers are more apt to get hurt or stop performing. Meanwhile the Cubs, Astros, Yankees, Dodgers, Red Sox, etc. built around young hitters and are all well positioned for multi-year success.

I think the problem with trading him is that they won't be able to get the value they think he is worth from any team. You look at what the Yankees got for both Miller and Chapman, and Degrom is worth the package for both combined. Or what the Cubs gave up for Quintana and have to double it. Its just too hard to find a match to even make the trade.

The New York Yankees have acquired former All-Star reliever Zach Britton from the Baltimore Orioles for three minor league pitchers in a trade announced Tuesday night.

The deal sends right-handed starter Dillon Tate, left-handed starter Josh Rogers and righty reliever Cody Carroll to Baltimore.

That doesn’t even make sense especially when that starting pitching is on team friendly contracts. The Mets have done a horrible job with free agents and the draft. They should have been able to put a team around that staff and then they could weather the injuries that inevitably came up.

Can’t remember if I posted this last week, but the “Only in Hollywood” episode that replays on MLB Net @ 9:00 tonight is worth a record. 

Thank you for the heads up.

Holy shit that was great.

And Treinen finishes it off. This series has been about finding 3 exciting different ways to excruciatingly break the Rangers' spirits. Here's to #4 tomorrow.
