I'm guessing that "competitive balance" pick is gonna go away real fast for the Cards.

This Velasquez doesn't hide his delivery very well.

I can see the smugness from here ffs

The most logical outcome for now. They refused to let him interview for a major league job elsewhere because they knew he was next-in-line to be the interim. Black was on thinner ice than we knew. (in fairness, trying to pry a managerial employee from another team mid-season is unusual to begin with).
Its getting annoying listening to the clueless national media complain that Preller is a jerk for firing Black. Preller didn't fire Black. Mike Dee and Ron Fowler (the owners) fired Bud Black. The last straw was probably the fact that we've lost several games recently in part due to bad Black decisions.

Luckily, Mother Nature will force Matheny to lift Wacha before he gives up the lead.

I'd get excited over the Red Sox jumping to a quick lead but I know my team better than that.

Wonder if Bud Black will be making the trip to Anaheim. Angels could use some help.

Fredi has Jonny Gomes batting cleanup. What.

I think it's the perfect thing, tbh.
Competitors know, and knowing what level of competition the Jays are in terms of the long ball should make him want to dominate like nothing else.
If he gets his slider going, he can be the Harvey of old.
The braves bullpen still has to pitch in this game so you will get some more runs.

I'm sure he'll land somewhere as a pitching coach. I don't know that I see him getting another managerial gig right away though. He didn't get fired for no reason.
Meh, I want to see what happens if we can get the royals into the game. Should have voted for their Bench players though, would have been funnier.

I read somewhere that picks are covered by the CBA, which means it wouldn't just be a matter of stripping them of picks -- it'd be a lot more complex, and the MLBPA would potentially have to get involved since it could mean the loss of player spots. Not that the MLBPA has been great at standing up for itself in the last few years, and not that they seem to care about potential members, but I think that picks may be off-limits for now. I'd imagine a fine or suspension is the MLB's only recourse.

In all seriousness, it goes to the Mariners
I mean worse as in "worse franchise ever that you hate" because I like the M's and if Rogers didn't blanket Vancouver with Blue Jays games I would have been an M's fan

Everyone knew that was a shitty contract, except the Red Sox.
Bad money written all over it.

Brock Holt (AKA guy with the broest name in baseball) hits for the cycle and it looks like there might be light at the end of the tunnel after all.
First cycle agaisnt the braves since 1985. Keith Hernandez.

Hue hue hueeeee. Mets too stronk.
Seriously though good for Holt, he's silently been one of the Sox very, very few bright spots this season.

so we're not going to talk about the ballot stuffing going in KC? shouldn't the commissioner step in and do something?
HarryDemeanor
Member
Yep. He was the pitching coach during their championship run. I'm sure Angels fans would love him back.
The only two good things that will come from this is home field advantage for the Dodgers and Emperor Manfred smiting fan voting from the skies for future ASGs.
