It proves my point that as long as Rogers controls the message, then nothing of any substance or anything too boat-rocking will be said.

Pretty much. I'd be shocked if I heard a Sportsnet personality be critical of Rogers NHL deal.

I guess McCown is the most likely to shit on it.

If only the Astros bats would wake up.

Time to sacrifice a chicken.

Which is why for ANYTHING about Rogers owned teams, you use the official reporters for any late breaking news, and various blogs for actual analysis / opinions.

Reminding me of Devon White with him batting leadoff.


God I feel old

Devo was a great all around player.



E: Detective, did Rodney get demoted?

 

[ProfessorMoran]

Yea he is always composed at the plate. I never see him miss the way guys like Smoak do. Excited to have him as the 2B for years to come.

I was scared Shatkins would trade him before the deadline, they kept suggesting that on 590, he's the answer at second base, can't imagine how we got by with Goins at 2B last year, great D, zero bat.

 

[ProfessorMoran]

Wilner was once suspended for asking Cito the wrong questions.

Wilner doesn't really care about recent trends, he looks at career average and that's all he ever goes with, that's why he defends Gibby's bullshit lefty v lefty matchups rather than actually the quality of the players you're putting in the situation.

The Weekend of a Lifetime.

A stoic, gray-haired man rips a baseball off the fence in Colorado. Though more than forty years have tried to take their toll on him, his legs are still there. As he rounds second, his torso appears to float, unmoving, while his legs seem to grow in length, allowing a stride longer than should be possible.

As he strides, I remember it all - The MVP, 262 hits, gold gloves, walking off Mariano Rivera, Something Out of Star Wars.

One thousand miles from Denver, James Paxton is on the ground, grasping desperately at his left elbow. After years of injury and underperformance. After being drafted in the first round, failing to sign with Toronto, planning to return to school and being told by the NCAA "No. You don't get to play anymore." After working to conquer his weight struggles, his mechanical struggles, James Paxton has finally found the success that seemed to perpetually dangle in front of him. He struck out Mike Trout, an alien sent from the planet of superhumans who invented baseball to remind us of our fallow mortality, four times.

At 107 pitches Scott Servais let Paxton start the 9th, and Andrelton Simmons' line drive not only found Paxton, but the very tip of his elbow. A crowd ready to celebrate three days of joy, shocked into silence. It's never, ever easy.

Our closer is hurt right now. Rodney is pitching the 9th inning.

 

[sf2fanatic]

oh ok thank you for the updated info.




Dodgers already trying to end the game in the first inning

 

[Silver Arrows]

Wouldn't be something if the Rox get into the wildcard?

Holy shit the Cubs are 9-1 in their last ten?

 

[Rafa=FedKilla]

Bregman and Reed cannot play at the Major League level.

 

[sf2fanatic]

Wouldn't be something if the Rox get into the wildcard?

They would have to win home field to have a chance. But I think CarGo got hurt

AJ Pierzinski just gave this ball to a fan behind me @ShtBallPlayrsDo @espn

[Silver Arrows]

Still, with the way the NL West is shaking out, anything can happen. The Rox are 4 games back.

I do agree with home field advantage though.

.

damn

 

[RBH]

.

lmao

 

[CygnusXS]

Blaine Boyer is still in the league?

 

[Line_HTX]

If only the Astros bats would wake up.

Time to sacrifice a chicken.

Why not a goat instead?

 

[sf2fanatic]

Josh Reddick comes out to Dolph Ziggler music? smh

 

[H.Cornerstone]

Why should the county pay for their upgrades? Fuck off.

That's exactly why the county supervisor said.

 

[ProfessorMoran]

Josh Reddick comes out to Dolph Ziggler music? smh

Still think getting rid of Puig is a big mistake.

Article about a team, the Kansas Stars, made up of retired MLB players. It doesn't get into specifics of the "season" they have but they play some college all star teams. Players like Tim Hudson, Brandon Inge, Dan Uggla, Adam Laroche, JD Drew, and even Roger Clemens are on it. Basically just guys who love to play but can't anymore (except maybe Laroche lol) at the highest level.

 

[brianjones]

freaking urias..

couldn't even make a little league play

buster posey just face planted into 3rd base

 

[CygnusXS]

Damn it, Reds.

 

[sf2fanatic]

Still think getting rid of Puig is a big mistake.

Puig got demoted, He'll be back up in September. He got way too many chances

 

[Line_HTX]

Josh Reddick comes out to Dolph Ziggler music? smh

No one can use the glass shattering Stone Cold?

 

[detectiveconan1]

Why are we walking Panik to get to Nunez??

Fuck the Reds for blowing that game.

 

[jello44]

Why not a goat instead?

Because a goat wouldn't be a movie reference.

 

[sf2fanatic]

No one can use the glass shattering Stone Cold?

Fuck Stone Cold

 

[Lunar FC]

Estevez blows another fucking save. Come the fuck on.

Selling my cubs/rox tixs.

 

[BFIB]

Collapse postponed another day.

 

[detectiveconan1]

Lol what are the Marlins doing here. Two intentional walks to get to Bumgarner.

Edit: Hey it worked...

 

[brianjones]

 

[Macattk15]

Edwin Big Dick Diaz.

Seems our strat of grabbing relievers who can throw 100 works ... Caminero had a clean inning too.

 

[Choomp]

What a ballgame in Miami. Happy it ended in a Giants W

 

[detectiveconan1]

Tough loss but man our bullpen is so gassed from being overworked in the first half.

 

[TheGamingBox]

thank you athletics

 

[Sir Alemeth]

Omfg.

 

[AgentChris]

Donny is the reason the Marlins will miss the playoffs.

Fuck you Reds. I penciled that 4-0 lead as a loss for the Cards.

You mean making everyone shave their beards doesn't help you win games?

 

[Choomp]

Also, Edwin Diaz has been a great fantasy pickup. Thank you Mariners-GAF for not shutting up about him

 

[ProfessorMoran]

thank you athletics

Ditto.

 

[sf2fanatic]

F U Donny

 

[Mortemis]

M's win! Nice to see a win not dependent on homers. Kuma's been pitching really good lately, wonder what the Dodgers saw wrong. Works out for me though!

 

[Silver Arrows]

Don Mattingly is a terrible manager.

 

[CosmicQueso]

thank you athletics

No prob.

 

[ProfessorMoran]

Don Mattingly is a terrible manager.

Didn't watch that game, what did he do?

 

[Frozenprince]

M's win! Nice to see a win not dependent on homers. Kuma's been pitching really good lately, wonder what the Dodgers saw wrong. Works out for me though!

His arm is a ticking time bomb.

You don't throw a hard splitter for that long and have an okay elbow.

You're good people. Beat those Tigers for us.

Jack Morris threw a splitter back in the day and his elbow was alright.

 

[Mortemis]

True, still if he finishes this season the way he's pitching he'll have outplayed his two year contract. Here's hoping he's still got another year in him though.

You're good people. Beat those Tigers for us.

They'll try for sure. #ProsperityInTheCleve

I think that's what BG and y'all say.
