Rumors suddenly going around Twitter that the Braves are talking to the Padres about re-acquiring Craig Kimbrel.

Where exactly?

 

[aFIGurANT]

I really hope a Cards vs Stros WS happens this year.

That would be soo good.gif. Off to check Correa's draftees to see how Astro-y they may or may not be.

Where exactly?

Someone asked Jon Heyman about it on Twitter and all he said was, "It's not as far-fetched as you might think."

Happy International Signing day.

Looks like the Dodgers are buying up the top prospects, going way over slot.

Friedman will remake the entire bullpen with international signings.

Meanwhile my hand is falling off from casting these ASG votes.

JOC MUST START

 

[BFIB]

Cards fire their head scouting director.

Who the hell is calling the Mets a good team?

The New York media, mostly, although I've seen some of the sentiment on SI.com. They speak of the Mets as being close, as if they're only missing a puzzle piece.

Does a whole lineup and a good manager count as one piece?

The St. Louis Cardinals have terminated the services of their scouting director, Chris Correa, after an “imposed leave of absence,” a lawyer for Cardinals executives said Thursday.

James G. Martin, lawyer for chairman Bill DeWitt Jr. and general manager John Mozeliak, declined to comment on the reasons for his separation or any details of an investigation into the hacking of a Houston Astros database.

Martin said that the Cardinals were continuing to investigate. He declined to comment when asked whether any employee has admitted hacking the Astros, citing an ongoing governmental investigation.

Correa declined to comment.

Correa's lawyers could not be immediately reached for comment.

Correa has admitted hacking into a Houston Astros database but said it was only to verify that the Astros had stolen proprietary data, according to a source with knowledge of the investigation.

Correa did not leak any Astros data, and is not responsible for additional hacks that the FBI has alleged occurred or leaking any data, said the source.

Heads be rolling.

 

[matthewwhatever]

On mobile so I can't post the link easily, but Hardball Talk has Correa's lawyer's defense. It basically boils down to "Yes he did it, but it was just to confirm that the Astros took our info first."

My understanding of law is admittedly limited, but I can't imagine that "two wrongs makes a right" will stand up in court

 

[abolisher6812]

Sweep!!! Jose wins his return, what a series for the Fish!!!

Saying the Marlins have been a disappointment this year is a understatement, but they have stretches where the are an absolute blast to watch.

I've got more. But the truth is, a lot of people are claiming the Mets are nearly there...

Does a whole lineup and a good manager count as one piece?

I agree, and that was my point.

 

[eznark]

Ryne Sandberg knew what he was doing

 

[zroid]

RIP Matt Boyd's trade value

 

[Doogdogg]

Bluejays you can have Justin Masterson for free.

 

[HarryDemeanor]

Dodgers sign former Braves star Trevor Cahill.

Can we fix him? Tune in and find out!

 

[Doogdogg]

LMAO still nobody out

 

[Grover Cleveland]

Like I said here today, gone tomorrow.

Watch the Red Sox get 1-hitted by the Astros tomorrow

 

[Lexxism]

Wtf. 7-0 and no out. This Blue Jays pitchers

 

[Edwardo]

Hahaha wow red sox

 

[Mr. Enigma]

lmao this umpire is squeezing Hendricks

 

[zroid]

Wtf. 7-0 and no out. This Blue Jays pitchers

Feel bad for the kid

good thing they don't have a 10 game road trip starting tomorrow, probably need a fresh bullpen for that

oh wait

 

[Doogdogg]

it goes on and on my friend

 

[rando14]

Bill Barnwell ‏@billbarnwell
Oh, and Mookie Betts just stole a base up 8-0 in the first inning, so a beaning is probably coming.

RIP mookie

 

[Lexxism]

RIP mookie

I can't blame him especially when they are up against the Jays. He probably remember when their 7 runs lead evaporated lol

 

[Mr. Enigma]

RIP mookie

I hate unwritten rules like this. It's still only the first inning and the other team always has a chance to come back and win no matter how large the score is. He also plays for the Red Sox and knows how quick their lead can go up in smoke.

 

[Doogdogg]

Mookie robbing a hit. Damn he is good.

 

[Mr. Enigma]

No Scherzer perfect game!

 

[Lexxism]

Jays cut the lead to half! 4 more!

 

[Coldnoodle]

WTF IS GOING ON

 

[Enron]

Someone asked Jon Heyman about it on Twitter and all he said was, "It's not as far-fetched as you might think."

this would be the most WUT thing in the history of WUT.

 

[Mr. Enigma]

this would be the most WUT thing in the history of WUT.

After how the Braves swindled the D'Backs for Touki Toussaint, anything is possible.

 

[CosmicQueso]

Those bastards at Time Warner may prevent me from hearing Vin, but being able to watch Dick Enberg do the Pads lessens the pain a little bit.

 

[Enron]

Banuelos has 7ks in 5ip, no runs in his MLB debut. Thanks New York!!!!!!!

Edit: BRAVES JUST SCORED ON SCHERZER

 

[Grover Cleveland]

Sox load the bases with one out.

Hanley K
Panda K

fucking lol

 

[cashman]

Gas man is killin it.

 

[Enron]

oh no, banuelos just hit two batters in a row and they are pulling him out of the game. Goddamnit.

 

[Little Green Yoda]

Cooney will hopefully be buried on the depth chart after today. We need Gonzales and Hymay back pronto.

 

[Carpe Libertatem]

He's not awful, just compared to just how good the Cardinals pitching is he's kinda bad. I think he'd be a solid #5 on a lot of staffs

Heyward basically carrying the Cardinals these days

 

[Enron]

Mark Bowman ‏@mlbbowman 29s29 seconds ago
Banuelos exited because of cramping and dehydration

oh thank god

 

[Windu]

There is a God

Heyward basically carrying the Cardinals these days

nvm

 

[Carpe Libertatem]

I think I'm more pumped for a Grichuk walk than anything in baseball

 

[Coldnoodle]

Replay is such a joke :lol

 

[The Elite]

This ump is a fucking joke. His strike zone has been shit and then he comes up with that bullshit call. I am going to assume he's fucking blind.

Did he think it was a force play?

 

[zroid]

The thing that makes no sense is the out call was made before he got tagged -- regardless of whether he actually touched the plate or not. So when you go to review, logically that call needs to be discarded.

THEN they can decide if he actually touched the plate, but from that frame of reference, he should be "called" safe and then you need evidence to prove him out. There was obviously not enough evidence to say he didn't touch the plate. So the final call should be safe.

 

[Dominican Power]

oh thank god

His arm will die sooner than later.

 

[Mr. Enigma]

His arm will die sooner than later.

Nice edit. Haha

 

[Mr. Enigma]

CAMERON MAYBIN BEATS SCHERZER

Maybin is having an incredible year.

 

[NameGenerated]

Stupid ending.

 

[Enron]

WALKOFF ON SCHERZER! FUCK OFF NATINALS
