Wow, baseball's pseudo-Don Cherry actually had a good segment for once

 

[Josh5890]

I really really really really really really hope this is the very last time we CC Sabathia in a Yankee uniform. Wearing out our bullpen and not pitching effectively . Fucking gap toothed broken down has been fucker. And seriously what is wrong with this offense!!!!!

He's got two more years after this at $25 million annually. The 2017 vesting option is guarenteed unless there is a left shoulder injury.

Just take some comfort in knowing that he helped win a title.

McCullers is looking good, except for these wild pitches leading to runs scored. :\

 

[17 Seconds]

Pretty much. Ross isn't going anywhere. He is Lester's caddie so he is retiring a Cub. Maybe he gets another contract but I'm sure that he is playing next year. Montero is the odd man out probably. He is hitting better of late so he might have decent value, despite that $14 million/year for two more years.

Montero is good. Fangraphs has him at 1.6 wins in 84 games. Ross is awful, and even though Theo had to deal with Ross starting 1/5 of the games this year, there's no way he goes into next season with Ross getting starts against the majority of lefties.

Moose! Oppo homer off the Green Monster. Hopefully, that means he's getting a groove again hitting. Same with Rios getting all these hits, but I won't take chances on him yet with how he's preformed overall this year.

Picked up Super Mega Baseball for my boys

Feels like a golden era NES game.

Not sensitive, you're just making lazy posts. The Cardinals and Pirates have 2 of the top 3 records in baseball, and the Cubs have to play them 39 times. That's nearly a quarter of their games against top-3 teams.

You don't think this affects the Cards and Pirates too? Of course it does. I don't think any of the top teams in the NL are as good talent-wise as their records suggest. With that said, the NL Central is probably still the best division in baseball, overall.

I agree but keep in mind that Montero has two more years at $14 million annually. Ross is only $2.5 million. If Theo really plans on going for Price they may need to shed some payroll.

Ross sucks at the plate but I'll give that he has those veteran catcher intangibles. That is worth something. I would still for Montero/Schwarb instead though

Five years of mediocrity for one World Series? I don't think that's an even trade. Specially with how much money he's due. *sigh*

You Yankees fans make me sick. The Cubs could win the world series this year and pull a Florida Marlins and I wouldn't care. I only want one championship!

 

[Silver Arrows]

does anyone have a PS2 copy of MVP Baseball 2005 I can have

 

[sf2fanatic]

Kersh getting a makeup strike call right there. We'll take it

Like I said earlier, something needs to change in baseball before someone dies.

 

[jello44]

Alright, a run against Kershaw!

 

[zroid]

Smoak really can't do shit against offspeed pitches

 

[Silver Arrows]

Like I said earlier, something needs to change in baseball before someone dies.

Agreed. You might as well do what the NHL did so long ago and place clear mesh netting across the foul lines to protect people.

 

[XiaNaphryz]

Sorry Junior!

 

[The Elite]

Dickey looking erratic early.

 

[XiaNaphryz]

 

[Corran Horn]

Bum is gonna bean him

Sorry your organization was run like a bad joke for decades. But just because your team and city and fans accepted and expected losing doesn't mean I should. So nyaaaah to you!

[evil solrac v3.0]

Well he's white so he's just showing enthusiasm out there in the field. A shade darker and brown hair he would be beaned while standing there.

 

[Dmncnby2k9]

Bum is gonna bean him

while McCann wont let him cross home plate while reciting the unwritten rules of BASEBALL

 

[JDeluis]

Trying to steal home against Kershaw, eat a dick Astros.

 

[Silver Arrows]

YOU CAN'T EJECT HIM FOR THAT

 

[jello44]

Gomez out trying to steal home with Gattis at the plate.

Just stupid.

Didn't work out for Harper though when he started in the minors.

 

[sf2fanatic]

Gomez out trying to steal home with Gattis at the plate.

Just stupid.

Bang bang play. Ellis tags him in the face and Gomez kicks Ellis in the face

 

[BigJonsson]

Ugh dickey

 

[jello44]

...now Lowrie is coming out of the game. Might have hurt his right hand again. :\

 

[Josh5890]

Hammel better not do something stupid right now.

 

[ShaneB]

It ain't Dickey's day.

 

[zroid]

Dickey looking erratic early.

k-ball looks flat

 

[The Elite]

Dickey has been a better pitcher without Thole most of the season.

They needed to give Martin some rest though.

 

[Silver Arrows]

two out of three ain't bad at this rate

 

[The Elite]

I would have taken the out for the run there. Jays can handle 4-1.

 

[Lexxism]

lol. what a garbage

 

[jello44]

Hey Blue Jays, this is not what we agreed upon.

 

[chicagocubsfan]

Hammel can't get past 5 innings lol

 

[The Elite]

If Smoak charged that bunt he could have probably kept the runner from scoring.

 

[The Elite]

Dickey's magic is gone.

 

[Silver Arrows]

31 pitches and we're still at the top of the first? good christ

 

[rando14]

I see smoak is stinking it up today....

 

[rekameohs]

GOOD GOD, FINALLY OVER .500

 

[Josh5890]

Hammel can't get past 5 innings lol

If he can finish the next inning I will take 6 innings and 2 runs, even if the fifth was ugly.

 

[zroid]

Dickey aint fooling anyone lol

 

[Dominican Power]

Beltran!!!

 

[evil solrac v3.0]

Woo! Beltran!!
