[gamz]

Joe West was pissed that the infielders went to talk to Hendricks.

 

[Corran Horn]

Seems like all of these no hitters being broken up this year in the 9th inning.

 

[GK86]

Good for Joe West. It is bs when teams do that.

 

[chicagocubsfan]

Cards sacrificed a goat so they can hit 5 straight homers

 

[Loco4Coco]

Thanks Cubs.

 

[chicagocubsfan]

3 is the magic number

 

[GK86]

Thanks Cubs.

Now for the Padres to do something.

 

[Brinbe]

Was at the dome tonight. Great Monday crowd and a solid W. Great to see Ez contribute in a big way.

Def need to keep this going while we've got weaker opposition.

 

[Tragicomedy]

I'm so grateful the Royals had the night off to recuperate from the last series.

Spoiler

 

[sf2fanatic]

Great pitching by De Leon, who grew up a Red Sox fan so it made it even more special for him.

 

[CygnusXS]

I looked away from the Rockies-Diamondbacks game in the 3rd. Poor Shelby.

 

[lazybones18]

San Diego doing great work

 

[cashman]

Rangers are now in single digit E# territory

Sweep the Dbacks, lose to the Padres.

Thanks Corran!

 

[Corran Horn]

I was there too! John Tory was sitting 2 rows in front of me and this girl in a Keirmaier t-shirt was getting heckled hard lol

 

[Corran Horn]

Giants lost?

So wrong...

 

[Mortemis]

Ms on a six game winning streak, 2.5 games back from the wild card.

Why must you give me hope. All they're gonna do is fuck it up.

Believe my friend.

Feel free to keep on beating up on the astros. Need to get some breathing room from them, at least till we face them.

 

[17 Seconds]

Good for Joe West. It is bs when teams do that.

it happens nearly every game from every manager. joe west just decided he had gone long enough without attention.

I just don't want him in the post season. Enough of the #JoeShow

Kerry Wood ‏@KerryWood 8h8 hours ago
Ok I'm done. We all know he sucks. Good night.

LOL, good one, Altuve.

Man, I freaking love Kyle Hendricks. It's weird, I tend to dislike the best team in the league each year but I really love the Cubs. The two big guns seem like awesome guys and all the young dudes who can seemingly play any position are really fun to watch. I really miss Schwarber too, that guy is one of my faves

[Mr. Enigma]

Wally Backman has come out saying he quit the Mets and said he wasn't fired. He's been the AAA manager since 2011. He quit after being informed he wasn't being called up to the Majors to finish the season. Luis Rojas, the manager of the single-A club, is being called up. He said there was no future for him in the Mets organization and pretty much said it's because he's not Sandy Alderson's type of guy.

 

[Line_HTX]

Astros should rebuild this team to specifically beat the Rangers.

 

[Chris R]

Astros should rebuild this team to specifically beat the Rangers.

But then you wouldn't destroy the Mariners every single game

 

[GK86]

Pirates shutting down Cole for the rest of the season. He has posterior inflammation in his right elbow.

bad end to a disappointing season for cole

much like this month is a bad end to a disappointing season overall

i think i've prepared myself for additional offseason disappointment as the massive payroll space gets left unused.

i am way more bitter than i thought i'd be about the miserable starting pitching staff the team elected to field this year.

Adam Jones says the reason they don't have any protests is because baseball is a white man's sport. 28 percent of MLB players are foreign born. you are a dumbass Adam Jones.

Their bandwagon is full. Come join the Indians w/ me!

 

[Mr. Enigma]

New reports coming out that the rumored deal between the Dodgers and Brewers that would have swapped Yasiel Puig and Ryan Braun was so close, Braun was camped out in the Miller Park clubhouse with some of his stuff already packed. The reports indicate that they simply ran out of time and they couldn't agree on which prospects would go to the Brewers. The Dodgers were one of six teams Braun could not veto a trade to.

Bob Nightengale expects the swap to happen over the winter.

It was also noted that the Giants and Braves both seriously pursued Braun, but the Braves will probably back off now that they have Matt Kemp.

The tribe is my backup if all else fails. One of them is bound to not fuck up in the first round, right?

I don't see why that's an incorrect statement...28% seems like the non-people of color/non-foreign born players are still the majority, and the bulk of that 28% are still very unlikely to threaten their livelihoods for a game in which they aren't the majority of players.

I'd say it's reasonable to expect that Masahiro Tanaka won't be wearing a "Black Lives Matter" shirt, or that Miguel Sano would not be kneeling during the national anthem in protest/solidarity - especially not for a problem/protest they may not even understand or relate to. And the players that might understand/relate to it, like McCutcheon or Heyward or Adam Jones? They make up a tiny amount of MLB. Probably reasonable to think that the 8% of players in the league might be behind the 8 ball on this one.

You think some poor Dominican kid that doesn't really speak English well and isn't versed in the history and dynamics of race in America is gonna stick his fucking neck out? When you know he's primarily the bread winner in his family? C'mon son.

because there is nothing stopping Adam Jones or McCutcheon or Brandon Phillips or any other prominent Black Baseball player from protesting. and to say Baseball is a "white man's sport" is silly considering there are players from 17 countries and/or territories.
