Another one on the list. 

Quote

Yankees left-hander James Paxton was removed from Friday's start against the Twins after three innings with a possible injury.

Paxton threw 64 pitches over his three innings against Minnesota, permitting a run on two hits. Paxton walked three with a strikeout, though his pitches lacked the crispness of the last three outings, in which Paxton tallied 32 strikeouts over 19 2/3 innings.

He was replaced for the fourth inning by reliever Jonathan Holder, at which time manager Aaron Boone spoke to home-plate umpire Rob Drake for additional warmup time, indicative of an injury. The Yankees' television broadcast showed Paxton walking down the dugout runway with a member of the team's athletic training staff.

Paxton has generated a 3.11 ERA in seven starts this season, his first with the Yankees after being acquired from the Mariners this past November.

He's probably more pissed off about being related to you. Now go back to Cloak Room or wherever it is that you regularly infect with your stupidity and leave this awesome subforum be.

Josh Hader in outings in August and September:

0 G

0.0 IP

he wasn't himself down the stretch last year (who could have seen that coming with his workload?), but it's still a bit misleading/strange, because aside from ER his numbers in both months were still totally dominating; it's just that every hit he gave up seemed to be a big one.

August 2018- 

10 G

Brewers record: 8-2

4 saves

3 holds

0 BS

Opp BA: .156

Opp OPS: .493

he had a WHIP around .085, he gave up 3 XBH in 45 AB, yet he still gave up 7 ER in 13.1 IP. Other than the ER? Domination. September was even stranger:

September 2018-

10 G

Brewers record: 10-0

2 wins 

2 holds 

2 BS

Opp BA: .159

Opp OBP: .250

Opp Slg: .500 (!)

IP: 14.1 

K: 30 (!!)

 

Again, he was still dominant, but for whatever reason when he did give up a hit it was a big one. This year will be interesting to see if Milwaukee handles his innings any differently.

It’s best not to overhype non-Rivera & Hoffman closers. The very best seem to fall off a cliff out of nowhere after insane dominance. Gagne, K-Rod, Soria, Nathan,  Papelbon, etc. I imagine Hader will be up there too soon.  

Hader (ideally) isn't the Brewers' closer, he's just been forced there through injury. If Jeremy Jeffress returns to last year's form or even close to it then Hader will likely move back to his normal role as a 7th-8th inning guy.

There was talk of the Reds trading Kemp during the offseason, but no deal transpired. Kemp’s salary with the Dodgers was $21.5 million, with the Reds responsible for $14.5 million. The Reds also received $7 million from the Dodgers as part of the December deal.

He’s the sole reason I saw that tweet.

It's not entirely clear why people always seem to be surprised that Story is fast, but any time it's pointed out that he has 98th percentile speed, it seems to elicit shock.

That might be because his reputation now is as a slugger, given the way he blasted his way into the Majors in 2016 -- seven homers in his first six games -- and the 37 home runs in 2018. Maybe it's because most of his scouting reports in the Minors focused on his power, rather than his speed. But even if Story didn't show up highly on the Statcast leaderboards, he did steal 27 bases last year, and he became the first shortstop ever to post 40 doubles, 30 home runs and 25 stolen bases in a season. The wheels are real.

King Felix tossing some BP in the first two innings. Jesus he's brutal to watch now. Just gave up Estrada's first major league homer. Given up three so far with no outs in the 2nd. Almost gave up a 4th on a ground rule double.

Baseball is weird, man. 

Quote

Pablo Sandoval on Monday became the first major league player since 1905 to hit a home run, steal a base and post a scoreless outing in the same game.

Sandoval achieved the feat in the San Francisco Giants' 12-4 loss to the Cincinnati Reds on Monday.

The only other time the feat was achieved, it was also accomplished by a Giants player in a game against the Reds. Hall of Famer Christy Mathewson threw nine shutout innings, hit a homer and stole a base in a victory on May 23, 1905, according to the Elias Sports Bureau's data.

Chief Johnson of the Kansas City Packers also accomplished this feat playing in the Federal League on August 14, 1915.

Sandoval's steal of third base in the second inning of Monday's game was his first stolen base since the 2012 season. His home run Monday was a three-run shot in the sixth inning that cut the Giants' deficit at the time to 7-4. He has three home runs this season.

In his scoreless inning Monday, which came during the eighth inning, he hit Jose Peraza to lead off the inning but got Josh VanMeter to fly out and induced a ground ball double-play off the bat of Nick Senzel. When Sandoval hit Peraza, it marked the fifth time in Monday's game that a Reds player was hit by a pitch, tying a National League record.

Sandoval has now pitched two innings in his career and has not allowed a run.

CINCINNATI – Derek Dietrich rummaged through the Reds’ clubhouse and grabbed the first white long-sleeved shirt he could find, never mind that it didn’t belong to him, but to rookie Nick Senzel in the neighboring locker.

Dietrich, a day after donning an eye-black mustache to match the Reds’ 1911 throwback uniforms, continued his Halloween in May theme with his beekeeper outfit, finding a sprayer in the mascot prop room just on the other side of Reds’ dugout. A Reds helmet and sunglasses finished the look.

Minutes before the Reds and Giants were scheduled for their rare Monday get-away day game at Great American Ball Park, the umpire crew assembled near first base, watching a swarm of bees descend upon the field just before the first pitch.

The umpires delayed the scheduled 12:35 p.m. start because of the bees for a total of 18 minutes.

Dietrich came out of the dugout at some point during the delay, all in white looking like he’d spray the bees and get the game started.

“I don’t know if the umpires were joking – they didn’t know who I was,” Dietrich said. “So I got the shirt unbuttoned and the chains popped, I think they got a clear idea it was 2-2 out there wranglin’ ’em up.”

Dietrich later apologized to his alma mater, Georgia Tech, for messing with the bees. But in actuality, the guy who had four homers in the previous three games wasn’t the hero on Monday, nor was Senzel, who in his jersey, not his dress shirt, hit a pair of homers. It was a guy in a long-sleeve pink t-shirt and plaid shorts. Jonathan Beers of Montgomery has been keeping bees for 50 years and he just so happened to be walking in the gates toward his seats in section 112 when the game was supposed to be starting.

Beers heard what was happening and volunteered his services. Dirk Morgan was in the owner’s box as a guest of Bob Castellini Jr., when he went outside and noticed what was happening. A beekeeper himself, he went down a level to lend his hand, as well.

Both Beers and Morgan had the same solution – find the queen and get a box. By the time both of them had found the GABP officials, the game had started – an official delay of 18 minutes. But Beers continued throughout the game to wrangle the bees into a box that originally housed 18 Joey Votto bobbleheads. It was given a new top out of another box, taped shut, had a door cut into it and holes poked into it with a screwdriver.

The bees, apparently following their queen, settled onto a chair behind section 119, directly behind the Giants’ dugout. Beers and Morgan shook the swarm of bees off the chair and into the box, hoping to get the queen inside the box. The other bees would follow the queen. The veteran beekeepers said a swarm happens when a new queen is born into a hive and the old queen leaves to settle a new hive – this new colony will preside in Montgomery with Beers. Beers and Morgan had never met before, but traded phone numbers and bonded over their common interest.

The swarm, they noted as bees flew around them, is docile, wanting only to find the queen. In fact, the worst thing someone could do is what Dietrich pretended to do – spray them.

That’s what a Reds employee did on April 17, 1976, before a game against the Giants at Riverfront Stadium. That caused several fans and Giants players to be stung and resulted in a 35-minute delay of the game. The delay was shorter Monday, thanks to Beers and Morgan — and the outcome similar, a Reds rout, 12-4.

By the time play resumed, much of the swarm had worked its way to the landing above Section 119 where Beers and Morgan worked on securing the bees. Beers, wearing no protective gear, used a paintbrush to push the bees congregated around the opening of his box inside as ushers blocked off the area from fans.

As Dietrich was going through his act, shortstop José Iglesias, third baseman Eugenio Suárez and right fielder Yasiel Puig batted a baseball around with their gloves in a hacky-sack like game.

Second baseman Kyle Farmer had seen a swarm before during spring training a couple of years ago.

“I’m not going to waste my legs out here watching the bees,” Farmer said. “I just went inside and hung out until they decided to take the field. I’ve seen it before. I knew how long it was going to take.”

Catcher Curt Casali was worried about his pitcher, Anthony DeSclafani.

“He throws a pretty extensive bullpen, so you want to get him out there as soon as possible so he doesn’t get cold, it would basically simulate another inning,” Casali noted. “It’s one of those freak things.”

DeSclafani gave up a single but got a strike-’em-out, throw-’em-out double play to end the first in relatively short order before Senzel led off the Reds’ first with a home run en route to a five-run first.

The game saw a major-league record tied with four hit batters in one inning (three with bases loaded) and Michael Lorenzen come into the game in left field right before the Giants’ Pablo Sandoval threw a scoreless inning. Add to that it was a day game that had the attention of the baseball world and sent it – ahem – buzzing.

Beers and Morgan ended up getting the majority of the bees into the box, which was filled with approximately 10 pounds of bees. They estimated that there were somewhere between 50,000 and 75,000 bees in the box.

“I’ve never seen anything like that,” Reds manager David Bell said. “Nobody really knew what to do, nobody really knew when to start the game. I’m just glad – hopefully, nobody got stung.”

Beers and Morgan, luckily, were in the crowd to take care of it all on Monday and won’t even bill the Reds. In fact, Beers said usually if someone alerts him to a swarm, he’ll thank them with a jar of honey from the hive, something maybe he can deliver to GABP later this season.

David Price is not happy about the list of players on the Red Sox that chose to go to the White House lol. There’s one major thing in common with all the players going, and one major thing in common with all the players who decided not to go. No exceptions either way, outside of JD Martinez. 

 

Ok, back to baseball.

And Bauer got rocked for the first time in awhile. 

Quote

Bauer (4-2) matched his career highs by allowing eight runs and seven earned runs in five-plus innings, raising his ERA from 2.45 to 3.42. Chicago ended his streak of starts allowing four earned runs or fewer at 60, the second-longest run since 1970 behind Greg Maddux's 106 from 1991 to 1994.

Gonna go out on a limb and say Chris Paddack will win a CY one day. 

Just came in here to post that. I’m not even sure that’s a hot take. He has filthy stuff. Cedar Park High school in this bitch (he went to CPHS). He’s got a lot of swag on the mound too. He made Pete Alonso look stupid on a few different occasions yesterday

Can anyone find vid/gif of the Kelvin Gutierrez throw to the stands from last night.  It was probably the worst throw I have witnessed live at a game.  

Yeah, When the first baseman doesn’t even attempt to jump/ reach for a throw...
I can neither confirm/deny that the Astros are updating signage “Yips sighting. Beware of thrown balls” when Gutierrez and Profar roll through town.
