And goddamn, Steve Pearce might have been the best trade of the month. 

[spystud13 2371]

Bang-up job by this reliever, jesus shit.

Red Sox / Yankees started 2 hours ago.
It’s the bottom of the 4th.

Yeah... that’s definitely been a surpringly-awesome trade.  Dombrowski ain’t half bad sometimes.

[Beau Vine 54220]

I'm not going to lie, it's kind of embarrassing to root for a franchise that celebrates their last division title by trotting out Cody Ransom to throw out the first pitch...

 

Miggy and his fake-looking baby aren't enough?

[Beau Vine 54220]

 

[UTexasFight 9432]

Either way, my point was the Braves are loaded to the point that it will be sooner than 2021 that they are bending people over. Fuck you John Hart

 

 

Well they better.

Gonna be ugly after December 1, 2021.

Bump.

I can recognize an ass-beating when I see one, and the Red Sox handed one out tonight. Get them back tomorrow, Saturday and Sunday to slowly gain ground in the standings.

So the other three get an asterisk for extra innings.
Odor gets an asterisk because he was playing the 2018 Orioles

It was three inches outside

[UTexasFight 9432]

Dodgers woodsheding the Brewers 21-5

2 Brewers PPP to finish that one out (including Kratz making his 3rd appearance this year. brought his era down to 3.00)

That combined with Valencia coming in to K Gallo in the Rangers/ Orioles game made a total of 3 more PPP tonight.

Can someone help me understand if we’re seeing more blowouts than normal at this point in the year?

Trying to figure out if a) a mercy rule needs to be considered or b) Manfred needs to quit focusing on where infielders are positioned behind the mound and start focusing on keeping them off it.

[UTexasFight 9432]

It was three inches outside

Your fact doesn’t change my fact.

Fact.

A reddit find

"A couple of nights ago, the Braves game was rained out. This is audio of prank callers calling into the rain delay radio show"

I laughed.

MLB released their top ten farm list.  Astros are at #9.  Having trouble finding that team from Arlington on this list.

Sonny Gray to the pen.  Yankees rotation really is dog shit outside of Severino.  Loaisiga might be their second best starter when he returns and he's pitched all of 18 major league innings in his life.

Tanaka and his 1.75 ERA after coming back from injury say hi.

[Fozzz 152]

Tanaka's pretty good outside of the preventing baseballs from leaving the park part of the job.  He's got some work to do there.

Also the Yankees are 7th in the MLB in Quality Starts. That’s doesnt support your “dogshit” theory.

If you want to look up a couple posts, you’ll notice one team has 4 top 100 prospects and the other has 3.

The Yankees have one starting pitcher with a FIP that is better than league average. That's pretty shitty.  Dogshit-like.

I did see that.  And yet the same people who evaluated the Rangers' farm as having four top 100 prospects do not believe that the Rangers have a top ten farm.  Probably because none of those four are really elite (the highest rated prospect, Taveras, is #42 on their list) and their farm has no depth.  I don't know why they still rate Willie as a top 50 prospect considering he's nearly 24 and has been around average as a hitter in RR this season.  It's not like Willie can rely on his glove or wheels for providing value. lol

incorrect, we've actually won a title

Well, Severino ain’t exactly stopping the bleeding.
