Sounds like 6 of the Braves' prospects in the Dominican Summer League were in a car accident. The worst injury might have been a broken leg (for a kid named Luis Severino). Apparently the driver of their car lost control on the highway.

And this is actually the second incident like this for the Braves this year. A few months ago their Advanced A-ball team was in a bus crash where their team bus actually flipped over. 7 players went on the DL with injuries after that.

I wonder what it will be like if Luis Severino pitched against Luis Severino?

 

[XiaNaphryz]

Joc Pederson benched?

Called it!

Maybe the derby will screw up his swing after the ASB and he'll go cold for a month!

Though he's been cold for over a month!

Got my free pizza this time. : )

Jack Curry @JackCurryYES: Sabathia is on DL with knee injury. Girardi said there's no timetable for CC's return and said it's possible CC won't pitch again in 2015

Would it be fucked up if I hope he doesn't pitch again this season? Cus I hope he doesn't.

No, it wouldn't. This is a positive for us, imo. CC is pretty much done.

On the day the last-place #RedSox come into Chicago, Jon Lester is three outs away from a shutout across town. Hmmm

Give Porcello 80 mil instead of paying Lester brehs

EDIT:

Also

Red Sox modus operandi

 

[chicagocubsfan]

Fowler got hit in the wrist.

Fuck............................

I just realized LaTroy Hawkins is a fan of the GOAT muscle car, the first generation GTO.

He's a cool dude in my book.

Those rolled off the line in 1964 yeah?

Dude, LaTroy picked one of those up off the lot and drove it to work. See, he was pitching for the Kansas City Athletics at the time. But when he got there, Blue Moon Odom and Rocky Colavito made LaTroy drive them to pick up some Schlitz and a couple packs of Lucky Strikes.

It was only LaTroy's fifth season in the league. Not like he could say no.

don't care if this is fake, i love it

 

[chicagocubsfan]

Fucking Lester.

 

[chicagocubsfan]

Bryant!!!!

 

[yankeehater]

Domi beat his ass though, that was funny.

The battery thing was dumb too.

Dodgers/Giants fans stabbing each other happens far too often that we just write it off I guess.

Just tired of the same old same old about Philly.

Yeah it really is fucking pathetic.

I wish nothing but bad things for the Giants.

This is good news. But who will replace him? Warren?

I think you're confused. The stabbing occurs at Raiders vs Charger games. SF Giants fans tend to shoot Dodgers fans and Dodgers curb stomp Giants fans like America History X.

He was already going cold before the All Star game.

 

[rando14]

Waitaminute, the Cubs have won 20 of their last 24?! Whoa..

 

[Malo]

They were going to go with a 6 man rotation with Pineda coming back on Wednesday. I don't know if they're going through with that plan now that CC is on the dl.

 

[thefro]

Easier part of the schedule and the offense has gotten way better since Schwarber came up.

 

[Carpe Libertatem]

Saw this at another board, but:

NL Central records since the All-Star break:

Chicago – 24-11 (.686)
St. Louis – 22-12 (.647)
Pittsburgh – 21-13 (.618)

Of those games - games against opponents who were .500 or better:

Chicago – 6 of 35 (17%)
St. Louis – 10 of 34 (29%)
Pittsburgh – 27 of 34 (79%)

And upcoming games against teams who are .500 or better:

Chicago – 18 of their next 25
St. Louis – 16 straight and 19 of their next 26
Pittsburgh – 3 of their next 20

We coming for the division Cardinals

The division is going to come down to the winner of the remaining 6 games between the Pirates and the Cardinals, almost assuredly

 

[DUFFMCWALIN]

Ya we fucking suck. What a trainwreck.

 

[chicagocubsfan]

Fucking sucks that Soler is out a month. He was really good the last few weeks.

 

[brianjones]

cubs hit the fucking jackpot with none of their rookies appearing to struggle at all

i guess bryant scuffled for about a month

 

[chicagocubsfan]

Would have been nice if Baez could make an impression if he gets called up.

I worry about Tommy La Stella or Castro in a playoff game.

 

[HarryDemeanor]

It's the Cubs. Shits going to happen sooner or later.

 

[Carpe Libertatem]

I mean, Soler has been pretty bad and Addison Russell hasn't been too hot (but still young and will figure it out)

Soler is a perfect example of why not to take Schwarber's hot ~160 ABs as indicative of anything either

So I wouldn't say they've had the best luck, but not all top prospects will be major league players

 

[brianjones]

I'm just bitter that joc has fallen his way out of the lineup

 

[Corran Horn]

Oh they will struggle in October.

 

[Carpe Libertatem]

It's kind of a dumb move too, he had something like a .410 OBP in August

Power is gone (blame HR derby, probably), but I'd take that OBP in a heartbeat

also the random pitcher they picked up off a scrap heap ended up having a better season than their ace whom they signed to a mega contract. 100 years of karma catching up with them, lol.

every time I've seen the Dodgers lately, Joc is walking a fuck ton. I don't really get what the problem is.

 

[zroid]

Eovaldi just threw an immaculate inning around a Correa single

 

[Loco4Coco]

I knew the Phillies will give the Mets some trouble, they've been playing very well.

 

[clemenx]

David Wright wooooooooo

 

[JABEE]

RYAN HOWARD

Nice hitting by Asche there.

 

[clemenx]

DeGrom nooo

 

[JDeluis]

every time I've seen the Dodgers lately, Joc is walking a fuck ton. I don't really get what the problem is.

To much pressure is being put on him and it's messing with his mind. They're afraid to throw him the fastball, that's why he keeps getting walked. After a couple of walks, he gets anxious and starts swinging at everything. He was already struggling before the home run derby, so that's not the problem.

I like Joc but if Kikè is swinging at the ball better at the moment, you better be damn sure to take advantage of him. Joc will most likely be used towards the last innings when the bullpen keeps giving away fly balls.

 

[yankeehater]

I love that Howard continues to terrorize the Mets after all these years.

 

[Original Famous Ray]

jesus..David Wright murdered that shit.

 

[Loco4Coco]

Who's this David Wright guy?

 

[richiek]

OH CAPTAIN MY CAPTAIN!!

 

[Dmncnby2k9]

Are you kidding me??? Welcome back, Cap!

 

[GK86]

Good shit, Wright.

if that's true then someone should tell him that getting on base is enough. if he's not getting pitches to hit then it's not his problem.

 

[Original Famous Ray]

deGrom is having a bad game. It happens. ah well

 

[Loco4Coco]

degrom is a mistake, he's nothing but trash.

 

[chicagocubsfan]

I mean, Soler has been pretty bad and Addison Russell hasn't been too hot (but still young and will figure it out)

Soler is a perfect example of why not to take Schwarber's hot ~160 ABs as indicative of anything either

So I wouldn't say they've had the best luck, but not all top prospects will be major league players

I mean if Russell can just be average with the bat he will have positive impact kinda like Andrelton Simmons.

And Soler has been a dumpster fire defensively which pretty much has put him in the negative .

 

[Marz]

Lol maybe I was wrong about Joc Pederson when comparing him to Mark Reynolds.

At least Reynolds isn't a bench player lmao.

 

[Carpe Libertatem]

Will the Pirates ever lose again?

 

[GK86]

I fear for DeGrom's ERA.

Will the Pirates ever lose again?

Yes. Wild card playoff game.

 

[Loco4Coco]

Yeah, Collins should take out degrom.
