Worst title ever.

Much like the DBacks are currently the run-away worst organization in professional sports.

Is it possible for a pitcher to somehow bean Kirk Gibson in the dugout?

I would punch him when lineup cards are exchanged. The manager/coach that does that will be hailed as a national hero. It'd be like punching Hitler.

Go Dodgers!

That gif reminds me of this.

Dodgers game can be watched on Fox Sports for those who don't have SportsNet LA tonight.

 

[Rafa=FedKilla]

I'm surprised Paul Goldschmidt is on that team. Towers has traded everyone else away with talent or potential.

Go O's

Catcher called for the hit.

Catcher called for the hit.

With his middle finger.

The Rangers have called up top prospects Jorge Alfaro and Nomar Mazara to AA.

You can essentially pinpoint the fall of this org to the moment that that shitheel Kendrick took over.

Actually I think the org died when they fired Bob Melvin. Potentially the stupidest decision of the decade.

I agree that that firing was horrible, but the root of that problem seemed to be Josh Byrnes (who iirc was a Kendrick guy), who was a shitty GM for a variety of other reasons than Towers is, so they replaced Melvin with an awful "yes man" in AJ Hinch.

I put kim chee on my dogs sometimes instead of kraut. In those cases instead of mustard I use siracha with mayo.

The Cubs have called up Baez. I wonder why they didn't bring up Bryant who's been killing it in AAA.

Shit might need to but tix when cubs come yo Citi Field. What position will he play though?

 

[Booties]

Phillies are getting the last NL wildcard spot. World series bound. Can't stop us, it's already basically fact.

 

[zychi]

Bryant won't come up til next June barring an insane amount of injuries. Its a contract thing thanks to Boras.

Not wanting to start Bryant's service time clock.

 

[Carpe Libertatem]

Apparently there are some in the Cardinals clubhouse who are mad about Taveras being "anointed" as the everyday RF and don't think he plays the game "the right way."

This organization is so frustrating

Needs some reps at first. Rizzo is obviously not the answer.

Allen Craig had 5 RBI's from June 25th until his trade. Oscar Taveras has 5 RBI in his last 3 games. Think I'll go with the guy that shows a little swagger.

 

[Enron]

lets go mets/rays

sigh. even enron is having better luck with his teams this year.

i wouldn't call 25 games under .500 "better" luck.

Sweet, Baez called up. I own him on all of my fantasy teams!

Tanaka felt good after a 50 pitch game of catch and felt no pain. That is encouraging.

 

[Fox318]

They need him for the future.

 

[Rafa=FedKilla]

Tanaka felt good after a 50 pitch game of catch and felt no pain. That is encouraging.

But he didn't throw any splitters. Brah has thrown twice the amount of those in The Show than the NPB. Broke his UCL. Made him humble.

Bryant still has good numbers for his AAA stint but he's been in the middle of a relatively colder streak right now. He also needs some more time to work on his 3B D. He'd probably be fine but I can understand giving him some more AAA at-bats.

Baez has been on a nuclear hot streak for the past month or so once he adjusted to AAA.

Just get the damn surgery, Tanaka. Everyone knows this rehab crap doesn't work.

 

[Edwardo]

I can't wait to go to Fenway and put some ketchup on my dogs

 

[BFIB]

I think I'm the only person that likes ketchup on a hot dog and mustard on a brat.

 

[Rafa=FedKilla]

Just wait until the platelet injections....

 

[timetokill]

Dodgers need a 4th and 5th SP. Also just bury League somewhere and forget about him.

Well we had our chance and Ned felt like sitting on his hands. It's alright though because we'll just kill Kershaw during the playoffs again.

Make it like Bull Durham, instead of hitting the mascot hit Kirk

 

[Dmncnby2k9]

Or at least shut him down for the season.

 

[AgentChris]

It worked for Roy Halladay.

 

[Dominican Power]

Your team leads the league in hitting hitters.

 

[chicagocubsfan]

Baez baby. Can't wait.

 

[jakncoke]

Funny we cut a left hand pitcher Angel Sanchez to make room for right handed pitcher Angel Sanchez

Your team leads the league in hitting hitters.

We discussed this last week or the week before, Its because Charlie Morton is completely wild with his curve thus him hitting 18 vs 2nd/3rd/4th being tied with 9(last time I looked) also the Reds series early when we were plunking 4 people a game between the 2 teams.

 

[Velcro Fly]

fuck yes Baez

and fuck the d-backs. piece of shit organization

I thought lefties were smarter

 

[Malo]

And Wainwright even though he eventually got TJ years later.

 

[Malvingt2]

New title is going to keep me away from this thread.

 

[jakncoke]

Apparently the lefty Angel fastball only hit 85 and he has control issues. 92 k/ 95 walks in the 5 seasons he was with the org

in 2011 in the dominican league he had a 4 k / 22 walk season lol

Kershaw, Greinke, AND Ryu will all be putting in double-duty throughout the playoffs. It's sad.

 

[Dominican Power]

It's amazing how Arizona's season ended during that series in Australia. That shit completely derailed them.
