is Carlos Beltran a Hall of Famer?

Absolutely.

Girardi does it again. Pulled Nova after 61 pitches.

 

[shwimpy]

DFA Hatcher.

 

[JDeluis]

The dodgers losing again? That's impossible! :/

 

[Corran Horn]

 

[CosmicQueso]

Why retractable roof though?

That stadium is an oven during the summer. Left field is a microwave before the sun goes down. Also the long standing theory that Ranger pitchers get terrible during the summer because of the heat.

[timetokill]

Fucking Hatcher

Dfa pls

 

[CosmicQueso]

Some places like Miami, Seattle and Arizona need it. I'd argue LA and Tampa need it, too.

Seattle needs a new yard? What?

And LA? What are you talking about? This is insane.

 

[bonesmccoy]

Safeco doesn't need to be replaced. Like not even a lil bit does it need to be replaced.

 

[brianjones]

gonna need a dodgers are 500 gif for all this mediocrity

 

[CosmicQueso]

Oh A's. What are you doing.

[User 479360]

Wow, the Jays actually won one. Did I accidentally fall into a different dimension somehow while at the movies?

Puig for Andrew Miller.

I'm saying some places need Retractable roofs, and provided examples of teams that have them out of necessity, because of the weather being not so great sometimes. Teams like the Dodgers would do well with a retractable roof, as would Tampa.

 

[Lexxism]

Woah Jays won

 

[gamz]

I think all domed baseball stadiums built recently have retractable roofs. Plus being in a stadium with a roof sucks IMO. Astros games feel weird with the roof closed, basically you are watching the game in a big warehouse.

Agreed but going to Milwaukee games when it's cold and rainy you appreciate that roof.

Tonight is the Two Jakes, Arrieta vs Peavy... I'm sure it will be fine.

Yep. And when the pavement was melting outside when I went to the Astro game in August I loved the dome there too.

Retractable roof places are better than baking in 90+ degrees and humidity.

Cubs hopefully will show up tonight. We seem to play up to our competition.

Rain all day today in St. Louis.

is Carlos Beltran a Hall of Famer?

Not in my eyes.

 

[CosmicQueso]

is Carlos Beltran a Hall of Famer?

I know it's the shittiest way to talk about the HOF (comparable players) but if Tim Raines isn't a HOF, then Beltran certainly isn't.

But he has a case. If Andre Dawson and Jim Rice can be in the hall of fame (ugh) then Beltran certainly can as well.

 

[Meier]

I usually just tweet with rc and nanoghost about the Dodgers but how fucking shitty are we? Clayton doesn't deserve to play for a team that is this bad.

 

[Chris R]

I haven't been to a game in the park at Arlington, but from the outside it seemed like a nice enough stadium. It is two years older than Turner, so I guess stadiums over twenty years old get the boot now.

It has to be roughly in the same area right? Since it has to be surrounded by parking lots since there is ZERO mass transit options in the immediate area... Going to a Dallas Stars game was so easy with the light rail train station like 100 feet from the arena.

Ok, but I still don't get why you included Seattle in that list. Safeco has a retractable roof. The stadium is beautiful.

 

[BFIB]

The fact that Target Field isn't retractable is mind boggling.

new mock draft from mlb.com

First i have seen Senzel up so high

1. Phillies: A.J. Puk, LHP, Florida
Puk has been inconsistent this spring, but at his best, he's still a hulking lefty with a mid-90s fastball and a wipeout slider. He has pitched well three of the last four weekends, and he seems to be Philadelphia's guy if he can stay on that roll. Plan B appears to be the top high school position player (California outfielder Mickey Moniak), with the best college position player (Mercer outfielder Kyle Lewis) also in the running. Whoever it is, he'll sign for well south of the assigned pick value of $9,015,500, putting the Phillies in position to spend big on later selections.

2. Reds: Nick Senzel, 3B, Tennessee
Cincinnati would be very interested in Puk if the Phillies pass. If not, the Reds likely would choose between Senzel, the best pure hitter in the college ranks, and flashy Puerto Rican shortstop Delvin Perez, who has the highest ceiling in this prep crop.

3. Braves: Kyle Lewis, OF, Mercer
Atlanta is the first team in play on a high school pitcher and prefers Pint to Groome. But with a shortage of college bats and a $12.4 million bonus pool that will allow the Braves to spend big on someone who drops to picks Nos. 40 and 44, the better play could be to grab Lewis here and pounce on a prep arm who drops.

Or, to put it another way, the last time the Giants had an eight-game winning streak with 29 runs scored, it was August, and they started the streak 13 games behind the first-place Dodgers. That regular season ended on a home run from Bobby Thomson that won the pennant, won the pennant, won the pennant. The Giants haven't had a pitching-dominated winning streak like this since New York.

 

[Windu]

To commemorate Bartolo Colon's first career home run, Forever Collectibles is releasing a special bobblehead of the 42-year-old New York Mets pitcher.

The bobblehead features Colon swinging in front of the Citi Field Apple, with a newspaper beneath him that reads "Oldest Pitcher in MLB History Hits a Home Run." What makes this bobblehead truly special, though, is that the stomach also bobbles.

We don't have the consistent pop & pitching is bad. It's usually only one player doing damage and the rest stink up the place. And we have way to many offensive players where the lineups are always different. We may need to unload on some to get pitching. Our best player right now besides Seager is a bench player(Thompson)

Dodgers take the L. Release Crawford, trade Puig for a pitcher.

@DTonPirates

Liriano Loss
7IP 7H 2R 2ER 2BB 4K 1HR 94-62

Locke Win:
7IP 6H 2R 2ER 2BB 6K 1HR 97-66

highlights how well Teheran pitched for the braves weds i guess.

and maybe I'm too harsh on Locke

 

[CosmicQueso]

Reddick with a broken thumb.

What a season. What a world.

 

[BFIB]

So the Cards have to make a decision on who to send down once Pham returns. Probably Tejada. Glad we didn't spend a lot.

 

[gamz]

Cubs hopefully will show up tonight. We seem to play up to our competition.

It's favorable pitching matchups.

Damn, tonight's M's game is gonna be rained out isn't it.

I'm saying it makes sense for Seattle to have a retractable roof because of their location and the weather that goes along with it.


EDIT: The Rangers don't need a new ballpark.
