You should have 2 to be fair.

Cutch!

 

[Lexxism]

Not a bad debut for Sanchez. What an arm!

 

[BFIB]

Good to see the Cards offense is back!....to nothing.

 

[JDeluis]

With a 5 run lead they're actually going to bother doing an official review on an easy call. lame.

 

[jakncoke]

Yeah idk why they challenged there, not because the lead, also 5 run lead is nothing btw. But what could they thought they of seen.

Wish we saved some RISP magic from last year. This team needs it more than the 2013 version.

Yeah I know but it's a 5 run lead against the Dodgers in the 8th.

 

[Corran Horn]

Umps are praying for a run here soon in this game

 

[harSon]

I like how we made up more ground when we're losing Lol...

 

[jakncoke]

Raise it !

 

[HarryDemeanor]

Well it looks like the only way to keep up with the Gigantes is to beat them in their own park. Too bad I think our chances are quite low.

we have our best pitchers going and they won't have hudson or bumgrabber

puig and hanley might also play..

The Giants always seem to be able to put something together even against our best. We shall see.

He was good! Maybe he and Stroman will end up being bright spots in an otherwise mediocre season.

Though he's on a pretty strict innings limit, so we won't see too much more of him, I guess.

 

[Carpe Libertatem]

Jon Jay struck out on a 4-2 pitch tonight. Can we get robot umps yet?

 

[cashman]

Joakim Soria to the Tigers for Cory Knebel and Jake Thompson

Who closes for Texas now?

 

[Sealion88]

Who closes for Texas now?

i would assume feliz would go back to closing

 

[cashman]

Who closes for Texas now?

They'll probably just roll with with a committee or maybe stick Feliz back in there.

 

[Corran Horn]

I love this closer!

 

[Frozenprince]

Rangers trade their closer during the middle of a game, top lel.

 

[friskykillface]

Pap god lol

 

[see5harp]

Giants got their mojo back!

 

[brianjones]

fucking papeldouche again

 

[Sir Alemeth]

Niiiiiiiiiiiiiiice!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[see5harp]

That was the worst slide ever from Sanchez lol.

 

[DUFFMCWALIN]

Another series win. Keep it up.

 

[Blearth]

That 9.5 game lead will be back before September. Followed by another collapse and the two teams tied on the last day of the year.

Streaky seasons!

 

[Chris R]

Ugh, my plane home is the red Sox painted jet blue.

 

[Frozenprince]

Girardi must have argued pretty damn well to get the game called.

 

[sf2fanatic]

Don't worry the giants will counter our struggles by bringing up Uggla. Guys we need a fifth starter. Haren looks done.

I'm scared for whatever reliever Ned is going to trade for.

 

[Mr. Enigma]

So according to sources, the Phillies are thinking about releasing Ryan Howard at the end of the season. Ryne Sandberg pretty much said Howard will be platooning 1B for the rest of the season with Darin Ruf.

Howard is still owed $60 million the next three seasons. He makes $25 million in 2015 and 2016. His $23 million club option for 2017 has a $10 million buyout.

 

[Frozenprince]

They have no choice, the roster is filled with dead money and bad deals given to past their prime declining players. The Phils need to firesale what they can while they still can and cut who they can't sell. Otherwise next year is going to be reaaaaal bad.

 

[Mr. Enigma]

Can you imagine if they were still paying Halladay big money? They are very lucky Amaro signed him to a very sensible 3-year, $60 million extension before he completely lost his fucking mind. The Phillies used to have a policy of no deals over 3 years for pitchers that Amaro threw out the window when Cliff Lee became a free agent.

 

[Frozenprince]

RAJ literally has no idea what he is doing. I mean, as a Mets fan I find it hysterical but I do feel bad for them because they are just so damn incompetent it's almost laughable. It is laughable, really. I mean Ryan Howard has a triple slash of .224/.305/.337, a -0.1 fWAR, a -0.4 bWAR, and an UZR that's hovered at 0 the entire year.

And he's making $25 million.

 

[Frozenprince]

I mean look at that pitching staff, Cole Hammels has a high WAR himself than the rest of the rotation combined. It's staggering how pathetic that is.

 

[Sealion88]

Im rooting for Kim Ng to be the next Padres GM. She's gonna hurt a lot of egos!

 

[Malvingt2]

Jon Morosi ‏@jonmorosi
Yankees are trying to trade for a starting pitcher. They scouted Ian Kennedy in Chicago last night, source says.

 

[Syrinx]

This whole trade market really blows. There's no real difference makers other than David Price and Lester, who the Sox may decide not to trade.

 

[eznark]

Same here. She's deserved a shot for years.

 

[rando14]

Jane Lee ‏@JaneMLB
Source says the A's have released Jim Johnson.

 

[BFIB]

Mo on local radio said that the Cards are looking more for a "stop gap" solution to eat some innings. Either downplaying their want for David Price, or feel the asking price is too high for pitching.

Either way, I'm not expecting a "blockbuster" trade. Which I'm OK with.

Enjoy Edwin Jackson...again

Seemed to work out last time lol. As long as we're not giving up Taveras for a Edwin Jackson type + a handful of relievers...

 

[Dominican Power]

Garbage

 

[cashman]

Yankees are fucking terrible.
