I'm going to use this time to binge watch some shows.

I wish I could do that...but my Netflix subscription lapsed and I'm too lazy to renew it.

Pedro thinks that Ervin Santana makes sense for the Red Sox.

 

[wbsmcs]

Now I'm contemplating adding..*gasp* Carlos Gomez...oh god these are the worst of days

I also dropped Aaron Nola because I was getting so restless. I've thought about Gomez, lol, but I think actually considering putting Jose Reyes on my team in 2016 is even wackier

I just splurged on Kerbal Space Program for Ps4 because I'm b.o.r.e.d

Jake Arrieta wins best breakthrough athlete at the ESPYS. Good stuff.

 

[Beckx]

meanwhile

Shohei Otani had a blister open up during his last start and is unable to pitch in the two NPB all star games this weekend

so instead he'll be a position player and participate in both home run derbies.

Why the two, of everything? To make up for the fact that the leagues are generally separate?

 

[Choomp]

Oh yeah the ESPYS are happening? So that's legit. Will still start season 2 of Haikyuu again

Dunno.

First game & derby is held at a Pacific League stadium, then next day a second game & derby at a Central League stadium.

It's probably just to generate max ticket sales and share revenue. But IDK.

They play a schedule of 18 interleague games a few weeks before the all star break, but otherwise, yeah, no crossover til the Japan Series.

Ah. It seems weird to have two ASG's and two HR derby's.

Dansby's hair will power the Braves to a undefeated record in September.

Someone replaced every player in MLB The Show with Bartolo Colon and simulated a season, for those that may be interested in that sort of thing.

Spoiler

the cardinals won it all, of course

Hasn't Jon Bois done this with someone else? I seem to remember something around this from him in a different sport.

I've seen it done in OOTP with Adam Dunn and Colon, but not in The Show. It's pretty funny for a bit, IMO

You just know it. Sox love taking our players, coaches, etc.

Damn. A lot of Marlins WC love up in here

When the Cubs played them I was really impressed as were they. Bryant said that's the best bullpen he has faced all year. Nice little team and I hope the Cubs don't meet them in the playoffs, again....

 

[Beckx]

Damn. A lot of Marlins WC love up in here

most of them hoping it means they'll blow up the team and trade Stanton

 

[Future Foundation]

Wallace Matthews (Yankees beat writer for ESPN) is saying there's a split within the Yankees FO regarding what to do the rest of the way. Cashman + baseball people want to sell, Hal/Randy Levine + business side think they can still contend.

EDIT: Here's his article.

As they head into the second half of the 2016 season, the New York Yankees are the definition of mediocrity with a 44-44 record. They face a daunting task to make the playoffs, sitting in fourth place in the AL East, 7 1/2 games behind the division-leading Baltimore Orioles and needing to leapfrog a half-dozen teams to qualify for the second wild-card berth.

And yet, there is a division within the inner ranks of the organization as to whether the team should be buyers or sellers at the upcoming non-waiver trade deadline.

 

[Silver Arrows]

Damn. A lot of Marlins WC love up in here

As it stands now, both the Mets and Marlins are tied for the second wildcard spot. Considering that the Mets seem to be imploding under injury and inconsistent play, I am just going with the likely candidate.

 

[jbug617]

MLB is going to investigate Ortiz's comments about wanting Edwin on the Red Sox.

As it was when Benning made tampering comments about Stammer and Subban in the NHL, it's a good move here too.

there are no words to express how much i hate levine. they know what will happen if they sell.

that being said, the team can still sell and contend this year. they can trade from a position of surplus to fill a position of need.

Sure would be nice if Bird hadnt gotten hurt.
