So the Reds have moved Cuteo, and other big pieces yet Amaro and company will end up keeping Hamels.

 

[HarryDemeanor]

I just hope Friedman doesn't give up the farm for Hamels. Don't fall for Amaro's tricks!

 

[jbug617]

I think the Rangers are going to give up Gallo for Hamels.

Price or bust.

Guys... guys...

I'm looking at my TV here at my place in LA.

There's some team playing the Mets. The... "Dodgers?"

Anyone know who these "Dodgers" are?

I haven't seen them on my TV before. It's... what is happening? Wait, they're from LA? I'm in LA. Why haven't they been on my TV?

What sorcery is this?

Greinke bat flip on that single lol

 

[Frozenprince]

Gave up Finnegan for Cueto huh?

Damn, that's a pretty hefty price.

In other news, holy shit are Greinke and deGrom good.

 

[NameGenerated]

Damn that throw by polanco.

 

[shwimpy]

Uh oh.

 

[Original Famous Ray]

lol Joc. Mets better take advantage!

 

[Frozenprince]

So the Reds have moved Cuteo, and other big pieces yet Amaro and company will end up keeping Hamels.

If the Royals gave up Lamb, Finnegan and Manaea for Cueto as being reported, even RAJ can't fuck up getting something nice for Hamels.

At least in theory.

CAN WE DO IT? CAN WE SCORE A RUN AGAINST A NOT ASS PITCHER?

 

[shwimpy]

Grienk's gonna murder Joc.

 

[CosmicQueso]

That's not how your field that ball young Joc.

C'mon Mets...

Stupid goddam play going home with that. Take the double play over some individual's performance. Dodgers still individual over team.

 

[Frozenprince]

Grienk's gonna murder Joc.

"Fucked up my streak young blood"

 

[Dmncnby2k9]

Let's go guys, one run enough for De Grom

 

[Original Famous Ray]

SAFE!! yiiiisssssssssss

 

[Dmncnby2k9]

Thank you Joc!

 

[AgentChris]

 

[Frozenprince]

SAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAFE.

Jake deGAWD says fuck yoooooooooooooooou

 

[CosmicQueso]

Meanwhile, at the home of one Orel Hershiser...

 

[GK86]

Can't come to our house and expect to keep that streak alive.

 

[Loco4Coco]

Damn, gone cause of an error.

 

[shwimpy]

Meanwhile, at the home of one Orel Hershiser...

He's calling the game right now and sounds exuberant.

 

[timetokill]

Youth strikes again

Joc gonna get talked to

 

[Frozenprince]

He's calling the game right now and sounds exuberant.

"Ya'll are lightyears better than me but I kept my streak booooooooooiiiiiiiiiiiii"

 

[Link]

Mets fail at fundamentals again.

 

[CosmicQueso]

A google image search for Hershiser sure goes some weird ways.

 

[HarryDemeanor]

Of course it had to be the Mets.

 

[Enron]

I think the Rangers are going to give up Gallo for Hamels.

Seriously doubt that, but I wouldn't be upset if they did. I am not sure Gallo will be anything more than a meh hitter with crazy power. Would be more upset if they dealt Mazara honestly.

 

[Link]

Of course it had to be the Mets.

I'm actually shocked.

 

[Dominican Power]

McCann, you worthless sack of shit.

 

[GK86]

Kirk for MVP.

 

[jello44]

B-G-O B-G-O B-G-O B-G-O B-G-O B-G-O B-G-O B-G-O

 

[GK86]

Michael, get it together.

 

[AgentChris]

Conforto trying to tackle teammates.

 

[Frozenprince]

Grandy man caaaaaaaaaaaaaan.

 

[GK86]

Gonna get his first grand slam here.

Edit- I guess I will settle for first HBP.

 

[AgentChris]

Free runs.

 

[Frozenprince]

Gonna get his first grand slam here.

I BELIEVE

 

[Original Famous Ray]

I'll take that run! Would have been nice to see Conforto do something special though.

 

[GK86]

Zach looking human.

 

[Frozenprince]

Zach looking human.

If we need bad Zach (by his standards) to win this one I'll take it.

 

[Original Famous Ray]

deGawd indeed...damn this kid is good.

 

[GK86]

If we need bad Zach (by his standards) to win this one I'll take it.

Hell yeah.

deGawd indeed...damn this kid is good.

It's gotta be the hair. It's beautiful, feathered and lethal. You just don't see it nowadays.

 

[HarryDemeanor]

How to offense?

 

[Frozenprince]

If deGrom doesn't win the CY...

 

[rando14]

If deGrom doesn't win the CY...

At this point, why would he? Nowhere near Grienke's ERA, nowhere near Kershaw's FIP/xFIP, nowhere near Kershaw/Scherzer's fWAR, and there's 5 other dudes ahead of him in Wins (which we all know do partially matter in the Cy award, for whatever reason).

 

[jbug617]

Trade is done. Finnegan is the big get the others are not highly rated I believe.

Reds Get:
Brandon Finnegan
John Lamb
Cody Reed

Royals Get:
Johnny Cueto

Writers don't care about FIP/xFIP (they should but w/e) and even then what do you mean not even close? Factoring in today he's 5th in FIP and 10th in xFIP. Higher than Scherzer in xFIP. fWAR for pitchers isn't all that indicative (not that it's not good but it's not as good). Wins well... Felix won with none right?

He deserves to win it.

Alright well considering all that, make your argument Degrom should win it over Grienke, Scherzer, or Kershaw. If you're thinking of the current superficial process where Wins, ERA, and SO's are the big 3... I'd give it to Kersh or Grienke.

Of course, Grienke, Scherz, and Degrom are likely to regress a bit based on their unsustainably low BABIP's, in which case the winner is... Clayton Kershaw.

Dodgers aren't winning anything this year.
