Giants are winners again. Ahhh....
...So when does the season crippling injury happen?
...So when does the season crippling injury happen?
Everything about this trade sucks. Everything. The last thing we need is another infielder and giving up a young stud SP makes absolutely zero sense.
You stop that right now.

Why couldn't we get this offense during the Giants series?
It's got a good ring to it, doesn't it? 😉
Here's the thing with the Rays and Tampa Bay , i'll give you a little history lesson.
St Pete has always had an inferiority complex to Tampa ever since the Bucs arrived in 1976.
- St Pete told the eventual owners of the Bucs that the team had to be called Tampa Bay and not just Tampa or the team wouldn't get support from St Pete.
- When its revealed that the NFL team would be called the Buccaneers , St Pete complained that the nickname related more to Tampa because of its Pirate history and not St Pete but they eventually got over that.
- St Pete got wind that Tampa businessmen were working to get an MLB team in the early 80s so in order to stop the Tampa group in its tracks they commission the Florida Suncoast Dome (Tropicana Field) to be built in the late 80s.
- They get the franchise but then complain that its Tampa's fault that the Trop has lousy attendence. Its a well known fact that most of the people that go to the Trop are from Tampa and its St Pete residents that don't do their part.

Clearing room for the three big Cuban pitching prospects and Urias. Plus gets rid of the glut at 3B.

Callaspo is being flipped straight up for Hamels.
Friedman da gawd.
DFA is in Callaspo's future.

I don't think the Braves will be getting robbed, they are very reluctant to do anything but stockpile arms.

I think you answered yourself
edit: It always feels weird to see Zito pitching minor league ball.

Good thing for Josh Donaldson, else the Blue Jays' pathetic bullpen would've blown another one. I didn't watch the whole game, but listened to some on the radio and watched a bit during Memorial Cup commercials.
Liam Hendricks should not be anywhere close to the Major Leagues.
Donaldson is amazing, though, and a definite upgrade over Brett Lawrie in multiple areas.

Been since confirmed that he's not involved. Instead they get Chris Withrow, a righty who's recovering from TJS and won't be back till the 2nd half.

It's designed to free up from at 3B, get a spot for pitching.

Callaspo can pay SS, right? Surely somebody will take Rollins off our hands

DFA stults asap

Juan Jose Jaime? Never trust a guy with 3 first names.
Don't really get this trade to be honest. Is it just to allow the Dodgers to get a couple extra mediocre arms?

I think to clear up the logjam at third base, and probably some trade fodder for later.
They really should use this chance to replace Rollins though.

Uribe and Callaspo seem like a wash to me though. Are the Dodgers just going to release/DFA Callaspo?

That's my guess. Or they know another team that wants him and they plan to trade.
But again, Callaspo I think can fill in the Rollins spot /pray

It's to free up room for the three big Cuban arms this year in Ruiz, Alvarez, and Gutierrez. And rest assured they will land all three.
The INTL draft is coming next year, stock up while you can and fuck the limits.
Uribe and Callaspo will be on different teams than either the Doyers or Barves by August 1st, as well.

The Braves were going to DFA Callaspo when Chris Johnson comes off the DL Thursday. The Dodgers were going to DFA Uribe. The Braves may just DFA Uribe anyways. Who knows.
Shintaro Fujinami threw 10 innings of shut-out ball for Hanshin this am, 14K, 3BB, 4H, 131 pitches. Left with game tied 0-0. Watching the replay now. Brought his FIP down to 2.23. 3-4 because the Tigers can't hit for shit this year.
Bucs going for another sweep tonight. Harrison quieting the critics of his extension.

Mets-GAF, rejoice with me, we got something for Captain Kirk!
Probably just cash, but someone still gave us money for him!
Thanks, Angels.
*heavybreathingcat.gif*
I WANT HIM
Also Beck what VOD service are you using to watch replays? PM me son.

Rangers may want to throw in the run-rule white flag
My PA-League TV subscription, they got rights for some (but not all) of the Interleague games. Given how high the dollar is right now it's only $12 bucks a month, worth it for me. The VODs are great b/c unlike MLB TV they cut out all the breaks between innings. Stream quality is the only downer. It's not nico-nico horrible but it's not a lot better. Pretty much the only legit way to get replays of Tigers games since Central League is still stuck in last century on streaming services. Meanwhile Pacific League has been (quietly) encouraging US fans to sign up and teasing an easier way for foreigners to sign up soon. Hell, they tweet in both Japanese and English.

I thought the PAL TV just had live-streams. Didn't know they had any VOD. Pretty nice. Will have to plop down $12 to get my kid watching with me.
It'll be nice to watch Tigers games though. I'v caught a few Giants and Ham Fighters games this year but, haven't had a chance to watch like I want too.
Definitely, my son watches the games at night (we watch Ace of the Diamond together too). PM me if you have any questions about sign up.
