Nah, the Rangers are in the business of winning games. I've said it before, they're not trying to face Encarnacion, who has burned them before, with the opportunity for him to put the Jays ahead.

Bush didn't intentionally throw at Bautista any more or less than Bautista intentionally slid through the bag.

So are the Jays. Bautista was sliding hard and not trying to hurt Odor but just break up the throw. Close game and we need to gain those wins on the Orioles/Red Sox.

Let's shake hands because no one was to blame here. Just a big misunderstanding.

Jonah Keri had a rare baseball edition of his podcast. Braves GM John Coppolella interview. good stuff.

Jonah Keri goes deep with Atlanta Braves General Manager John Coppolella about choosing a career in baseball operations over more lucrative options; the skills needed for those aspiring to careers in sports operations; making his way up through the Angels, Yankees, and Braves front offices; learning analytics; drafting; the ups and downs of the Braves; leading a losing team; managers; behind-the-scenes insight into the Jason Hayward-Shelby Miller trade; trying to time it so that your team is good in time for a new stadium; the future of the Braves; and Coppy’s Life Tip.

Oh, we're still talking about the punch?

 

[Chris R]

Rangers Jays would be an awesome first round match-up. Can't wait to see it happen.

 

[Bumblebeetuna]

That slide was dirty. Odor is lucky he lifted his leg up right when he did. Could have been nasty otherwise. Nasty like that shot to the face Bautista got afterwards.

Idk if the Rangers plunked him intentionally or not. It seems like such a monumentally stupid time to retaliate.

 

[The Elite]

They should start having teams shake hands after a playoff series ends and you should have to drop your gloves before throwing punches. They should also put plexi glass barriers up around the infield.

Rotation or bullpen?

I'm guessing it has to be the former or he'd have gone back to the Giants.

No.

Has to be rotation, thats what he wants to do.

 

[CygnusXS]

Fangraphs hired Eric Longenhagen to be their new lead prospect writer. That's actually a fantastic hire. Eric knows his stuff and is very well connected in the scouting community.

Giants/Cards NLCS for the meltdowns.

Dan Farnsworth didn't last very long. Shocking.

 

[jbug617]

That's my 1st baseman. It's raining in KC

They set him up to fail from the beginning.

Hanley is actually...

Not complete crap at first.

 

[Dmncnby2k9]

man Jackie Bradley been tearing up. betts n bradley in the OF aint so bad.

 

[Frozenprince]

They set him up to fail from the beginning.

Nobody could replace Kiley.

Probably more money there too since the Angels are desperate for SP.

Take Pablo and I'll root for you.

 

[Corran Horn]

Take Pablo and I'll root for you.

Pay his contract and we will throw him to our minor league team. Sacramento can sell Panda hats.

Has to be rotation. Their current starting rotation is bad.
Santiago
Weaver
Tropano
I don't even know the other 2 are.


Heaney is out til Aug & Richards is out for the year with CJ Wilson

Royals vs Red Sox rained out. Doubleheader on Wednesday

 

[CosmicQueso]

So....

Odor vs Bautista

or

Ryan vs Ventura

or

Barrett vs Pierzynski?

Upon reflection, I think I have to put 1) Ryan, the GOAT. 2) Barrett (because the recipient was Pierzynski and 3) Odor.

1. Ryan
2. Odor
3. Barrett (he looked like he pulled his punch a little big, but it might be the angle)

 

[bonesmccoy]

Ranking punches, or fracas in general? If it is the latter, this is clearly the GOAT:

Except he wasn't.

"I had a hard slide at second base," Bautista said. "I could have injured [Odor]. I chose not to ... tried to send a message that I didn't appreciate getting hit [with a pitch]."

True. "Here comes the pizza!" is one of the best baseball calls. Fixed.

Man, what it is about Boston?

Gerrit Cole not recognizing the Cubs as the best team in baseball. I wish Schwarbs was here so he could bat flip a dinger off of him next time.

Tulo with a loudddddddd F Bomb after striking out with the bases loaded.

That man is frustrated.

Tulo was a mistake.....

Happ's contact caught up to him this game.

The Jay's Alfredo Simon.

 

[The Elite]

Sucks seeing Happ get rocked.

 

[Lexxism]

Dammit. Wrong time for Happ to get lit up.

 

[CygnusXS]

Berrios just got destroyed out there.

 

[The Elite]

Jays look like they are going to lose big tonight.

Raw it is.

 

[wbsmcs]

Happ's era rose by 1.01 runs. Getting pulled in the 3rd with 2 runners on.

 

[User 479360]

Peredes seems like a good pick up.

And man, I just woke up and it's ALREADY 6-0 Tampa? Fuck.
