Rosenthal needs to be demoted from his closer duties.

Gotta think this was the last chance for him. But knowing Matheny, who knows.

Glad the team didn't sign him to an expensive extension

If we extended him, he would probably be out for the season with TJ instead of blowing games and giving Cards fans heart attacks.

If we move Oh/Siegrist up the pecking order, who should handle the 7th? The rejuvenated Maness?

 

[Corran Horn]

Good ole Casilla is back to causing heart attacks.

 

[yankeehater]

Man this ump in the Giants Phils game is desperate to end this game. So many balls called strikes in the 9th.

 

[distantmantra]

Maaaaaaaaan, I needed that, this team needed that.

Let's goooooooo!

CHOCOLATIER WITH THE DONGER

 

[Corran Horn]

Oh shit that was close.

 

[Jack Scofield]

Giants win and Dodgers lose. It's been a good day.

 

[XiaNaphryz]

Giants win and Dodgers lose. It's been a good day.

 

[Sir Alemeth]

Yay!!

Good ole Casilla is back to causing heart attacks.

Strike out the first batter(s), then proceed to issue a walk, a single or double, and then a hbp. Then narrowly gets out of the jam with the closest play imaginable. Santiago Casilla.

 

[sf2fanatic]

Giants win and Dodgers lose. It's been a good day.

Giants peaking too soon?

 

[Grover Cleveland]

I can't believe the Sox won that game.

But yeah we gotta trade Price


(not being serious...or am I?)

 

[gamz]

Wilson Contreras can straight out hit, and he's not a bad 1st baseman. Like at all!

Hopefully Rizzo is back soon.

Cards lost back to 10 game lead.

 

[gamz]

Willson Contreras is pretty good at baseball.

All these kids coming up are good. We've become the Cardinals....Whew. That's tough to write or read. Ewwwwww.....

Just imagine next year with a healthy Schwarber and Contreras in the same lineup. Holy Shit!

 

[Choomp]

So apparently Reyes is expected to rejoin the Mets today? Oh sht!

 

[Lexxism]

Jays are so annoying to watch with RISP. It's not even tense anymore, I just assume they're not going to capitalize at this point.

They definitely are. They are getting worst with RISP. Sometimes they even have two runners on with no outs and still can't get a run. fuckin brutal

 

[Tragicomedy]

So apparently Reyes is expected to rejoin the Mets today? Oh sht!

That's fantastic news. He's a great player who only occasionally beats the shit out of his wife.

 

[Loco4Coco]

Why sign Reyes? Just bring up Herrera.

 

[GK86]

Why sign Reyes? Just bring up Herrera.

Herrera would make them move Walker to third. Reyes would be playing third, I think.

 

[BFIB]

Sweep the Cubs. Blow a save against the Mariners.

Cardinals 2016 baseball.

 

[Carpe Libertatem]

If we extended him, he would probably be out for the season with TJ instead of blowing games and giving Cards fans heart attacks.

If we move Oh/Siegrist up the pecking order, who should handle the 7th? The rejuvenated Maness?

Broxton, probably :lol

Spoiler

Alex Reyes

 

[Chase17]

I can't believe the Sox won that game.

But yeah we gotta trade Price


(not being serious...or am I?)

Would anyone want him?

Not sure if want...

Also, which Phillies-GAF person wrote this series preview up?

Coming off Wednesday's magical comeback win over the Pirates, the Giants are quietly chasing the Cubs for the sport's best record. And no one is really talking about it, they're still just gushing over the Cubs, me included. So the Giants have done it. They've out-underdogged the freaking Chicago Cubs, and you can just see where this is headed. I hate it. I hate the Giants. I hate all of this.

Jarrett Parker: The Giants offense is being powered by the same anonymous gallery that wins its division titles every even year. This narrative is stupid as hell, but what do you want me to say to you, Jarrett Parker (???) is 7-for-his-last-11, and because it's the Giants, six of the seven are singles. The other one is a double. God, I hate the Giants.

Brandon Belt: At least Belt is more of a real hitter, as his success has been a bit more sustained, with six home runs and 11 doubles in his last 24 games. He's hitting .302 with a .938 OPS on the season.

Mac Williamson: No. I don't care if he has four hits, including a home run, in his last three games. We're not doing this.

Jeremy Hellickson vs. Madison Bumgarner, 10:05 p.m.

Cripes alive, what are we even doing.

Former trade chip Hellickson threw a pretty efficient start last time out against the Diamondbacks, allowing only three earned runs in what became just another part of the nine-loss blur from which the Phillies only recently emerged. Striking out six and walking none, there's a chance that sort of behavior continues. Of course, prior to that start, he was getting either rocked or exhausted by opposing lineups, so the Phillies are just hoping he can get through enough innings that the tired bullpen doesn't have to come out and implode.

Meanwhile, Madison Bumgarner's biggest problem right now is figuring out how to get into the Home Run Derby. Go to hell, the Giants.

Aaron Nola vs. Johnny Cueto, 4:05 p.m.

First, we started to question Maikel Franco's future with the Phillies. Next, doubts about Nola started to trickle in. These doubts were not soothed by Nola getting punched repeatedly by one of the most paper-thin offenses in baseball in Minnesota. So, good luck against an offense that finds a way to win with Mac Williamson starting in the outfield, Aaron. We're all rooting for you.

Meanwhile, Johnny Cueto's biggest problem right now is making the All-Star team, a novelty that has eluded him in past years. Are you in hell yet, the Giants? If not, please go there. Thanks.

The salt is real!

 

[gamz]

Rizzo is back!

Contreras in LF? Maddon wants that bat in there everyday. Schwarber 2.0.

 

[GK86]

Marc Carig‏ @MarcCarig

Michael Conforto has been demoted. Brandon Nimmo has been promoted. Jose Reyes is minutes from rejoining the Mets

 

[Caja 117]

Tex back in the lineup today...and Davis was DFAd...

I wonder if the Yankees are going to be able at last to go over 500 today...(and as Im typing a Hr from the twins, lol)


It sucks that management think Yanks have a shot this year and probrably wont trade players like Beltran/Chapman/Miller

 

[Dmncnby2k9]

Marc Carig‏ @MarcCarig

o shit, Nimmo time! excited to see this kid.

 

[Dmncnby2k9]

might do a week or two at triple AAA

 

[User 479360]

Volquez's new record is awesomely befitting of his character.

 

[AgentChris]

Start his ass at 3rd today.

mmmhmmmmm

I love the saltiness.

 

[Choomp]

He will need to do some third or whatever in the minors, and I just read he's going straight to Brooklyn

He may be a bad person but I'm still going to be happy to have him back.

 

[Godzilla's Left Toe]

Mets Reyes deal official will report to Brooklyn

 

[Dmncnby2k9]

Start his ass at 3rd today.

My boy Reyes is officially signed and will be playing in Brooklyn tomorrow.

 

[User 479360]

Haha, they walked Thole.

Thole's so bad.

 

[Original Famous Ray]

Fuck that wife beater Reyes. He's a bum and I don't want him on the team. A shame Conforto was sent down but he was struggling big time. Hopefully he'll find himself in the minors and will be back soon. Excited to see what Nimmo can do!

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Conforto started out the season looking like a star, what the hell happened?

 

[GK86]

Conforto started out the season looking like a star, what the hell happened?

Mad Bum ate his soul. Ever since Conforto faced him, he has looked lost at the plate.


Edit - Depressing stat. With Wright and Conforto no longer on the team, de Aza is the only player with more than one steal.

 

[Chase17]

White sox with all the solo hr's

 

[Choomp]

Conforto started out the season looking like a star, what the hell happened?

People probably starting to get the book on him(soft stuff down and in), he looked super locked in this April but ever since then he's looked so lost at the plate. It's a shame though, I really liked the guy, hopefully he'll regroup and be back up at some point.

 

[HarryDemeanor]

Ken Rosenthal @Ken_Rosenthal

@Navacane @Justinmax No, correction. I hate the Giants and will never write about them again. Feel better?

Ken has seen the light.

That plus pitchers busting him inside and a wrist issue.

 

[Godzilla's Left Toe]

Wrist injury

 

[zulux21]

given it wasn't clear if his foot was on or just off, i figured the safe would stand because that is the definition of indecisive

hopefully the white sox get the two runs in.

2 runs down after the 6th is way more doable than 4 runs down.

don't mind seeing gavin come in.

and right away there is one... come on keep it going. get that other one. though tying it up or more would be great too


bleh not quite a sac fly... come on next batter get a hit and score 2 to make it a one run game.

 

[The Elite]

This is always the toughest part of the Jays' schedule. It's going to be a rough ride into the all star break.

 

[PROh1bited]

Now when I see Drew Storen coming in, I don't roll my eyes. He's really turned it around.

And just as I say this, he lets a home run up.

The horseshoe is up the White Sox ass again.

 

[outunderthestars]

Haha, they walked Thole.

Thole's so bad.

It still blows my mind that we can't find someone who can catch a knuckleball and hit a baseball.

 

[PROh1bited]

It still blows my mind that we can't find someone who can catch a knuckleball and hit a baseball.

Everytime Thole is in the lineup, it's like they're playing NL rules with a pitcher hitting 9th.

 

[Chase17]

I think that's 6 solo HRs for the white sox.

 

[zulux21]

I think that's 6 solo HRs for the white sox.

yup.

shame they can't get those with someone on base >.<

hot damn, nice reaction by the pitcher, had he moved wrong we likely would have seen a lot of blood.

 

[Loco4Coco]

Excited to finally see Nimmo, meh about Reyes coming back.
