Homer Bailey getting Tommy John

Homer Bailey getting Tommy John

The Wrath of Tommy John certainly taking its toll on teams this year.

 

[Mr. Enigma]

Carlos Quentin has informed the Mariners he is retiring.

 

[Purple Cheeto]

Carlos Quentin has informed the Mariners he is retiring.

Well that was short lived.

 

[Tragicomedy]

Mr. Conspiracy? You the one saying there's a double standard in regards to the media reaction, not me.

There is, unless you believe the other team's reaction should dictate the penalty.

One dude was called a cocksucker, responded by yelling fuck you, and the benches cleared. He was suspended.

The other talked trash at a dude and said he wasn't any fucking good for no clear reason, and the benches did not clear. No suspension.

I don't know what to tell you.

 

[chicagocubsfan]

Russell with a bomb!

 

[zroid]

Norris sent down...... welp

edit: it seems like a short-term move, just to add some bullpen help. we'll see I guess

Yeah, they want him to regain his ST form. Estrada will start for awhile.

 

[Dominican Power]

That Homer Bailey contract is looking better and better.

It's the new reality of baseball. Pitchers WILL get TJS if they pitch long enough. My only question is, when does baseball start to look at ways they can ease the number of injuries among pitchers?

 

[XiaNaphryz]

So in the GAF OOTP league, Ned Colletti is in the personnel pool available for hire as a manager:

lol

MLB is following two teams entire pitching staffs and charting everything they do. Trying to see what can be changed if anything.

It's foolish to think teams and MLB aren't taking steps to protect their multi-million dollar investments. Guaranteed contracts and all that. Then there's the competitive advantage of being the first team to figure it all out.

 

[CygnusXS]

Carlos Quentin has informed the Mariners he is retiring.

But he's still getting paid by the Braves. What a world.

 

[Dominican Power]

Headley sucks.

 

[Purple Cheeto]

But he's still getting paid by the Braves. What a world.

$50 million in career earnings for a guy who had 1 good year.

 

[CygnusXS]

Well, fuck the owners anyways. Good for Carlos (although he's an asshole too).

 

[Enron]

Folty's command looks like shit so far. Everything is missing up.

Edit: Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand he just paid for it.

Probably nervous. His fastball is nice, but he needs to get that curve down.

 

[Dmncnby2k9]

lets fucking go Cuddyer!!

 

[Edwardo]

Goddamn Allen Craig.

 

[Joey Fox]

How many balls will be called strikes and vice versa, before baseball fans demand a change? We have the technology.

 

[CygnusXS]

Yeah but it'd cost $6 million bucks and that's, you know, a year of Carlos Quentin or whatever.

 

[Enron]

Reeeeeaaaaaallly not impressed with Folty. His command in his first start is fucking terrible. But still better than throwing Cahill's fat corpse out there.

 

[Tragicomedy]

Royals blew up Detroit in the first. Let's keep that momentum going.

 

[CygnusXS]

Reeeeeaaaaaallly not impressed with Folty. His command in his first start is fucking terrible. But still better than throwing Cahill's fat corpse out there.

At this point, might as well get Wisler up too and let CB start. These guys need to develop.

 

[RampagingSoul]

Royals blew up Detroit in the first. Let's keep that momentum going.

Plus, Chris Young is doing really good so far as a starter as well. Four strikeouts from two innings he pitched.

 

[jello44]

Meanwhile, Evan Gattis hit home run number..... 2 tonight. ¯\_(&#12484_/¯

 

[SRTtoZ]

Can someone please physically remove Didi gregorious from the Yankees??? Thanks.

 

[jello44]

lmao Folty two run double.

 

[CygnusXS]

lmao Folty two run double.

Now I'm wondering if he can play 3B. We know he's got the arm.

 

[Osorio]

5 out save for Familia

Collins isn't messing around

 

[zulux21]

yay for instant replay..
difference between 1-0 and bases loaded with 2 outs and inning over and still 0-0 is huge.

 

[Tragicomedy]

That was one of the oddest innings I've seen in awhile. Three walks and three strikeouts. No runs allowed after walking the bases loaded. I'll take it.

 

[brianjones]

a gawd

 

[Dominican Power]

A Gawd!!!!

 

[Malo]

A-Gawd!

 

[jbug617]

ARod ties Willie Mays. Still can't believe that stupid fan cost the Red Sox that run.

 

[sangreal]

So called that shit

(Like everyone else)

 

[Alex Anderson]

Haha, so glad he untied the game there with the stupid fans riding him so hard.

I'd be thrilled if the Red Sox had a similarly overpaid dude

 

[JoseDFrog]

Omg that was a laser. Congrats A-Rod!

 

[evil solrac v3.0]

ALEXANDER EMMANUEL RODRIGUEZ BORN ON July 27, 1975 in Washington Heights, New York City. the first overall pick in the 1993 MLB draft. 12 seasons with the New York Yankees, 27 time world series champions. has just made it rain on the hated rivals. take a bow A-Gawd.

 

[jello44]

Oooops Altuve

 

[Friggz]

Al from Miami.

 

[Tragicomedy]

Congrats, A-Rod.

Now I'm going to screw the Royals over by pointing out we're on a combined no-hitter in the seventh...

Seventh inning down. Two more to go!

 

[JDHarbs]

Congrats, A-Rod.

Now I'm going to screw the Royals over by pointing out we're on a combined no-hitter in the seventh...

Was hoping no one would mention it.

Spoiler

Maybe we'll break the jinx.

 

[detectiveconan1]

Ozuna with the walk off! I'm so glad we won, I would have been so pissed had we lost.

 

[Tragicomedy]

Spoiler

S'okay. Herrera will give up a quick hit and we'll be done with it. All I care about is taking two in a row from the Tigers.

That 100 mph fast ball...

And there we go. Called it.

 

[Link]

Sorry I missed Harvey Day, guys. Been pretty busy with the draft and helping my girlfriend get some things done.

 

[Malo]

Our bullpen is legit. Good win.
