Marp has had a pretty nice day at the plate.

He's been the best hitter (who also plays the field) in baseball this season. Doesn't get nearly enough credit for what he does.

I was skeptical when he said he was going to combine the best parts of all of his prior seasons, but he's done exactly that.

Spoiler

must be the steroids he and Arrieta share

 

[Chris R]

Cards eating with the long ball today, damn.

Yup, was nice to take 2 of 3 at least, wish our bullpen wasn't so terrible though

Marp has had a pretty nice day at the plate.

If we could have taken 2 of those 1 run games against the Rangers and won 2 here we would be really making ground.

Here's an interesting wrinkle in Jose Reyes' contract: The Mets have an option for 2017. Reyes would again only cost the MLB minimum.

 

[Randy5554]

Does Marlins Man ever actually go to any Marlins games?

That's a pretty big deal

Tribe wins! 9 wins in a row! 3 sweeps against the Tigers now!

hopefully when they finally lose they do what all the central teams (aside from Min) have been doing so far and with in a few weeks be back to .500

it is a little sad on my end to see the white sox go 5-2 and lose two games to first

just gonna have to keep winning games though and crawl back up.

ideally the white sox take at least 3 of 4 against the twins.

 

[TheGamingBox]

well the pirates have got to kershaw

 

[Futureman]

well the pirates have got to kershaw

I'm on my phone... was that just an in the park home run?

Edit: never mind it said 5-0 for a second there

 

[detectiveconan1]

Awesome series win against a really good team. Jose was spectacular today.

Does Marlins Man ever actually go to any Marlins games?

Yes. He was at a couple this weekend.

 

[Corran Horn]

Dont fuck this up pirates.

 

[brianjones]

this dodger lineup is such trash

how do we clone Seager??

tha reverse jinx!!

 

[harSon]

Dont fuck this up pirates.

i hope we fuck it up, and we will with our ass pitching :3

edit: told you :3

 

[harSon]

...

 

[Corran Horn]

Seager and Turner vs the Pirates

 

[harSon]

I like Kuhl's intensity.

I like how our AAA pitching is probably better than the pitching we started the season with

 

[CosmicQueso]

Awesome that the Dodgers also went with the '79 throwbacks tonight.

Thought Burt Hooton was on the mound for a second.

 

[harSon]

Lol, this ump aint shit

 

[timetokill]

Lol bye Cutch

 

[CosmicQueso]

Marlins guy could only get 2nd row tickets. Hes fallen off his ticket buyin game.

Edit: Pout more Puig. Just cry. Let it all out.

[XiaNaphryz]

Giants win 3 out of 4 against the Pirates, Doyers currently 0-3 against them with 1 more to go.

Beisbol!

Yeah, you guys just nose dived, what happened?

 

[harSon]

your welcome giants

 

[BumRush]

Super nervous about Thor's start tonight. Going to the doctor twice before July for elbow pain for a pitcher that consistently throws 100 mph...hope he's fine.

 

[HarryDemeanor]

Ken Rosenthal ‏@Ken_Rosenthal

Sources: #Reds’ Bruce a consideration for #Dodgers. Ethier’s return uncertain; Pederson only LHH OFer. Bruce cannot block trade to LAD.

More outfielders.

And of course we're going to get swept. What a terrible series.

 

[sf2fanatic]

Today's lineup is worse.
We throwing in our Single A team out there.


Roberts saving everyone for second half of baseball. Smart man since Friedman is a payaso


E: I might catch a Reno Aces game tonight.

 

[MultiJhonny]

Man the Tribe are on fire right now. Also the DBacks are making a decent run, still under .500 though.

The trade deadline is gonna be fun. The NL divisions already seem to be locked.

 

[CygnusXS]

Huh, Atlanta has called up Mauricio Cabrera, a relief prospect who's been clocked as high as 103-104mph. Interesting.

and Ogando DFA
huh...I thought they could get something for him.

Hopefully Cabrera has the BB/9 under control

 

[CygnusXS]

Hopefully Cabrera has the BB/9 under control

I'd... be surprised. He's probably not going to be good.

 

[Windu]

at least he will be fun to watch, and the HRs should go out of the park really quick.

 

[GK86]

Nats call up Giolito to pitch tomorrow.

 

[MultiJhonny]

Nats call up Giolito to pitch tomorrow.

Is this the little version of Gio Gonzalez?

What the hell would Jay Bruce do? Unless someone would take Puig?

This makes no sense.

 

[XiaNaphryz]

This makes no sense.

Sounds like the Dodgers.

 

[HarryDemeanor]

We didn't get swept!

 

[Choomp]

Nats call up Giolito to pitch tomorrow.

Damn, wasn't expecting this. Have the Mets seen like every top pitching prospects debut this season or what?

Trying to go to that Saturday game, lined up to be Syndergaard/Arrietta. Should be a good time

 

[AgentChris]

De Aza is a lost cause DFA asap. Bastardo is not bad when he comes in with the lead so Terry needs to use him better.

 

[RBH]

Braves designate RHP Alexi Ogando for assignment & recall RHP Mauricio Cabrera from @mbraves. Cabrera's first appearance will be @MLB debut

Mauricio Cabrera, on the other hand, has the highest ceiling of almost anyone in the Braves bullpen. After routinely throwing above 100 mph in the Arizona Fall League, Mauricio has been touching 101-102+ of late and has greatly improved his walk rates of late. He has given up just 6 walks in his last 17.1 IP while striking out 17 over the same span, so the Braves seem encouraged enough by that to give him a shot in the bullpen.

Cabrera has been pitching very well of late. Over the last month, his BB rate has only been 3.18/9. On top of that, he’s got a 1.59 ERA over that stretch.

[Mr. Enigma]

If Cabrera has one ounce of control of his 102 heat, he'll be good in that division. If Cabrera does well, I could see them spinning Vizcaino off to someone desperate for a closer.

 

[CygnusXS]

They should trade Vizzy no matter what.

 

[XiaNaphryz]

Work got a suite reserved at AT&T tomorrow for the A's-Giants game tomorrow. Woot!

 

[Windu]

well..this is different giveaway. Not sure if I should open it or burn it.

 

[Choomp]

Mets seem to be making good contact all around this first inning

 

[GK86]

Noodle arm Travis.

 

[jbug617]

Hey guys the Red Sox allow 1st innings runs again.

 

[TheGamingBox]

lol nats
