2019 MLB thread

[Radical Larry 28685]

We're all day to day.

[spystud13 2371]

We have a trade. 

Quote

The Red Sox have acquired righty Andrew Cashner and cash considerations for prospects Elio Prado and Noelberth Romero, the Orioles have reported.

9-3, 3.83, 1.19 WHIP, 66/29 K/BB in 96.1 IP. 

[dbecks 442]

Eh, I’ll take it.

[spystud13 2371]

Kepler greets Bauer with a leadoff yack. 

4-4 with 4 bombs against him this season. That seems good. 

Edited July 13, 2019 by spystud13

[spystud13 2371]

Holy fuck, make that 5-5 with 5 yacks. 

[TexasHooch 5152]

I think there's a walk somewhere in the middle of that too. Indians will be sellers by the end of the weekend.

[spystud13 2371]

Yeah, there was a walk. He finally K’d in his 3rd AB tonight.

He is solid, but I watched him get shelled earlier this year in person. Perhaps being on a team that is an actual major league outfit will be good for him.

That’s pretty fucking sick.

Tatis Jr is amazing. Every night, in the field and at the plate. 

my bad. i should have added, "and on the base paths." 

 

[Scraps 13603]

Best thing about that is the Randy Savage glasses

[spystud13 2371]

3-2 in bot 1 of LAD/Bos after 2 runs score on a grounder to Taylor at SS. 

[Sbbruin 21938]

Nice to have Pollack back.

[spystud13 2371]

You may sit down, Devers. 

[spystud13 2371]

Well, this game turned in a fucking hurry. 

Strong 5 pitches, Baez.

Hey, at least it didn't take him 20 minutes to throw them.  

[Beau Vine 55030]

I feel like A-Rod, when he first started announcing, was really good because he prepared really thoroughly and kept himself low-key because he knew everyone hated him.  And now that people like him, he's relaxing and being himself more, which is bad, because he's actually really annoying.  

[spystud13 2371]

You may also sit down, Verdugo. 

[Beau Vine 55030]

Have I ever mentioned that guys, especially catchers, don't fucking know how to tag?  Verdugo was nearly safe because the tag was way up on the leg.  Just put the glove in front of the plate and let the guy slide into it and tag himself out.  Shit, this is becoming a pet peeve of mine.  

[spystud13 2371]

That was a pretty fucking shit-tastic AB. 

[spystud13 2371]

Don’t see that obstruction call often.

[TheFlagship 466]

Don’t look now, but after the Giants finish this throttling of the Rockies, they’re only 4 back of a WC spot (along with almost every other team in the NL)

[Scraps 13603]

Nice outing by Marquez....a smooth 11ER given up in 2 2/3 

[UpperWestside 6225]

Judge just threw out Avasail Garcia trying to go 1st to 3rd. He makes it look so damn easy. 

[TheFlagship 466]

Did the Phillies really enter 2019 thinking this pitching staff would be playoff worthy?

Dodgers tend to make a lot of staffs look pedestrian.

For the 16th time out of 26 it was within 2 runs either way. He had just missed on the prior pitch and fouled it 30 feet short of a homer. Dude is going to hit a big homer in the post-season.

I work with a guy who is from Philly who loves them. Surprisingly he is not an asshole and is a pretty cool guy who just loves baseball.

Especially in October the last 2 years

[spystud13 2371]

Fractured forearm for Chris Taylor, timetable not out yet. 

[spystud13 2371]

Pagan replaces Castillo, Urshela yack to tie it in bot 7. 

[spystud13 2371]

Hey Helobious, was that bomb off a shit reliever in a nothing game? 

[spystud13 2371]

Holy fuck, d’Arnaud’s third bomb of the game is 2-out, 2-strike 3-run shot off Aroldis for the lead.

two bombs and what should have been the game winning HR had Aroldis not blown it. i'm sure helo will be by soon to tell us how much Chapman sucks.

I had to leave early because of work, but file this game under most amazing performances ever by the most unlikely player to do it. 

[spystud13 2371]

Tampa holds on, that was a pretty crazy game. 

[spystud13 2371]

Martin Maldonado pulled from KC’s game. Back to Hou?

He’s no longer a dominant reliever, that’s for sure. Or at least not like he used to be (he really struggles to climb over 100 now). But he’s still good, he just wasn’t that at all tonight. 

I am surprised Edwin went yard twice. Some guys can’t handle playing in pinstripes and he more than looks like he’ll be one of those players. He may prove me wrong though.

he will prove you wrong, because he's a consummate professional who has mashed everywhere he's been, and he now plays in a kiddie park that is honestly *much* smaller than Pflugerville Connally's field, so he's going to be just fine, old age and all. he's one of the best right handed power bats in the league and as a Cubs fan I would take him and his bat in a heartbeat, even if it meant starting him and/or rizzo out in RF fairly often. but that's just because i like guys who go for 35 and 100 every year for nearly a decade.

d’Arnaud has beaten the Yankees twice this year, almost entirely by himself. He’s a Ciriaco (worthless scrub player that turns super saiyan god against the Yankees) just like Randal Grichuk. Sabathia would be smart to throw some chin music at d’Arnaud tomorrow or just IBB him every time. Anything to get him off his game.

10 of 26 HRs when the lead/deficit is 3 or more?  That seems like a lot to me, especially because almost all 1st/2nd inning homers will be with the score close.
