New York Mets ‏@Mets

We’ve placed Travis d’Arnaud on the 15-day DL with a right rotator cuff strain and selected the contract of Rene Rivera from Las Vegas.

Well, he lasted all of three weeks.

That could be a loooooooooooong injury for a catcher, too

We gotta find the stock of that and burn it all. For everyone's sake.

Except for Frankman. That looks like something he'd wear.

Is it OK to take a lighter and burn fedoras on the spot?

And cover his frosted tips? I think not.

 

[zulux21]

As a White Sox fan I'll take all these wins and the luck but it won't last forever.

ideally the offense will come around and pitching and luck won't be what is carrying the team.

though to be fair the offense never really came around in 2005 and that year turned out alright.

Sale vs Dickey, and you're betting on Dickey? Don't go to Vegas.

I'm going to vegas in oct

Rich Hill has 29 Ks in 19 IP so far. SO9 of 13.7, leading the majors.

Rich. Hill.

Dave Dumbroski.

There was absolutely no reason not to sign him.

An untipped fedora will bring you 5 years of bad luck.

You can borrow RBH's. We will need it back by 10:30pm.

Reds are giving Jake Arrieta the rubber, 1st base & home plate from his no-no. He'll give home plate to David Ross.

pfft, MLB has just been behind the curve, they should have always moved their defenders where they most likely think the ball will go. If you dont iike shifts get players that can hit the ball on the ground to all fields.

Tony Gwynns don't grow on trees.

 

[Jack Scofield]

Speaking of shifts, we don't batters just bunt when the entire infield is playing one side of the field? It seems like a free baserunner. There's probably an obvious answer but I can't think of it.

 

[The Elite]

This Colabello interview is rough as fuck.

 

[Windu]

Tony Gwynns don't grow on trees.

true, but I don't think you need to be that good. Although it is probably better to hit it hard to one side than try to hit it weakly to another.

Also I assume this quote came because teams always shift on McCann and I think Tex as well.

they do but teams feel it is still more valuable to shift.

The players that they usually shift on are slower but hit for power so if they bunt they feel like they won't do it often and they would rather have a single than possibly a double.

 

[Parch]

This will be a real test for the Blue Jay bats. Sale is at the Cy Young level of good.

Let's see if Price can bounce back tonight.

MLB TV is really shit today. I gotta say up that Kodi thing.

 

[Beckx]

what's interesting is that the modern Japanese game (heavily influenced by what Ichiro achieved) is all about contact and hitting to all fields...players who can't hit to all fields generally don't do well. (of course the modern Japanese game has it's own issues)

implying MLB players generally can bunt well

i kid but i don't think bunting as a skill is well developed in MLB

MLB TV is really shit today. I gotta say up that Kodi thing.

people keep talking up the playstation app but everytime i've watched the last two weeks the image has had high-noise and the resolution drops a lot.

 

[zulux21]

it baffles me when a speedster isn't bunting when ever there is less than 2 strikes and someone is playing back. (you would likely succeed around 40% of the time which is better than mlb players do swinging away)

of course it also baffles me when a pull hitter doesn't learn how to bunt the ball /half swing at a ball from a bunt stance like a game of pepper to the opposite side of the massive shift until they at least put someone back in position.

still better than the PC version by far.

to be fair the old PC app was solid, just the current one kind of sucks.

 

[Mr. Enigma]

Well, already time to turn off the game.

 

[zulux21]

Well, already time to turn off the game.

hmmmm, what game are you watching?
guessing braves game?

can't blame you if so, though really I don't think I would be watching the braves right now until they seem to turn it around a bit because they are just sad in general right now.

 

[Beckx]

Jonny Gomes left the Rakuten Eagles to return to the US for an unspecified family situation. He had not been hitting and had been sent to the farm team, but had yet to appear in a farm team game.

Wonder if he'll be back.

 

[zulux21]

we will have to see if sale as an Ace can get through the game without his good stuff, but he clearly looks off so far. (he isn't hitting his spots like usual at all)

 

[Chase17]

That was a deep HR by Shaw.


Singles everywhere

 

[zulux21]

there is the one run I said dicky would give up

now to see and hope he gives up more in order to prove me wrong.

I would add some if I could.

I'm assuming that is a photo showing two hotdogs with mustard and relish. I really can't tell, since I used up my ENTIRE MONTHLY DATA CAP loading that monstrosity.
