Nice throw there to miss Altuve, Gonzalez.

What a guy.

 

[jello44]

Cut Fister and get his fucking ass out of town.

This season is over. Never made it to the Wild Card game.

He was only signed for one year anyway, so he's gone.

 

[blackaroni]

Thank you Springer!

Man, I don't see us winning this at all, but it would be nice.

 

[Frozenprince]

This is a weird way of phrasing that question as a response to an outing that looks normal for an MLB ace too, but okay.

The Fighters have managed Otani very carefully. He did not throw for over a month this year after a blister issue. Instead he increased his DH load (best hitter in the league in 2016, for real). He threw the CG today b/c you don't pull your ace when he's destroying people in the clincher up 1-0. His pitch counts and work load are very reasonable.

TBH the Hanshin Tigers are really the only egregious offenders left for pro level workload in NPB (new manager is going to break Fujinami). High school of course is another story.

 

[chicagocubsfan]

5 year extension for Theo. Awesome.
Being reported 5 years @$50 million. Hoyer and McLeod also get extensions.

 

[Sumidor]

Mariners melting down...

 

[Chris R]

Mariners gonna Mariner

 

[distantmantra]

Mariners gonna Mariner

Just don't Mariner too much...

 

[distantmantra]

Nice to see the offense getting a couple extra insurance runs.

 

[Choomp]

Bartolo has some tendon issue that apparently should be okay. Yet, Terry says he could may start on short rest after getting shelled? And we wonder why the whole staff is hurt

 

[Silver Arrows]

lol

Wow Astros, come on. Fight why don't you?

 

[gamz]

Theo signs a new 5 year deal with the Cubs. Probably 10m per y. Edit: Bob Nightengale Verified account ‏@BNightengale 48m48 minutes ago

The #Cubs have signed Theo Epstein to 5-year extension that's expected to be worth in excess of $50 million.



AWESOME!

Edit:

GM Jed Hoyer and personnel ace Jason McLeod


AWESOME II

 

[distantmantra]

Ok, guys. Lets save some runs for the A's.

Keep Fighting. Go M's.

 

[blackaroni]

This is embarrassing.

[Silver Arrows]

NO HOPE ONLY DESPAIR FOR THE STROS

 

[Chris R]

Seems that the Mariners "Ultimate Luck" has extended one more game.

Watch us score no runs tomorrow lol

 

[Silver Arrows]

All these Danganronpa references!

 

[Chris R]

All these Danganronpa references!

Despair is the Mariners trademarked slogan!

 

[Line_HTX]

What a week this has been since last Thursday, and it's not limited to beisbool....

 

[Silver Arrows]

Despair is the Mariners trademarked slogan!

Mariners owner confirmed to be Monokuma?

 

[bebop242]

Perfect

 

[Macattk15]

Fuck the Astros. Fuck Altuve. Go back to the NL.

That is all I have to say about the Astros. They owned us so much this year.

 

[Line_HTX]

Ahaha, fuck you too. Enjoy your precious Wild Card.

 

[Chris R]

Ahaha, fuck you too. Enjoy your precious Wild Card.

You mean the Wild Card the O's are gonna end up with?

 

[Macattk15]

Inning ending. Game ending ground into a double play by Altuve. Couldn't end it in a better way.

You mean the Wild Card the O's are gonna end up with?

Yeah it is highly unlikely we get a wild card spot.

 

[Silver Arrows]

You mean the Wild Card the O's are gonna end up with?

Who cares at this point the Jays will win /s

 

[Line_HTX]

Whatever, Altuve had great numbers anyway.

Fuck you, Seattle.

>:T

 

[Silver Arrows]

So much action!

 

[jello44]

Fuck the Astros. Fuck Altuve. Go back to the NL.

That is all I have to say about the Astros. They owned us so much this year.

I wish they could, where they don't play Mickey Mouse Baseball.

 

[Silver Arrows]

I wish they could, where they don't play Mickey Mouse Baseball.

You calling the AL Mickey Mouse?

 

[Line_HTX]

You calling the AL Mickey Mouse?

David Ortiz could dress up as Mickey Mouse.

 

[jello44]

You calling the AL Mickey Mouse?

Of course!

I prefer my pitchers to bat.

 

[The Elite]

Let's baseball.

 

[Chase17]

He finished 1/6.

I'll think he'll only be good for a homer a game.

 

[Line_HTX]

And that's the end of Bill Brown's broadcasting career and Tal's Hill at center field.

Some season this was. Can't get consistent reliable starting pitching.

 

[Joe]

Jesus Christmas I can't believe Cano is signed through 2023. If he can put up like four more "All-Star" level seasons he's going to be in the Hall of Fame.

 

[Chris R]

RIP Hill. Makes the park a little easier to hit deep in, seeing as currently it's the 3rd worst park for HRs in the AL.

 

[Mortemis]

I thought his contract was going to be horrible but based on war he's already been well worth more than his first three years of his contract. If he can have maybe 2 more AS seasons and age gracefully this contract won't really be bad at all.

 

[Lee Chaolan]

Hey, the Indians with an actual Major League lineup tonight.

 

[Chris R]

I thought his contract was going to be horrible but based on war he's already been well worth more than his first three years of his contract. If he can have maybe 2 more AS seasons and age gracefully this contract won't really be bad at all.

Felix on the other hand needs to be put out to pasture or New York, whichever pays more.

 

[Frozenprince]

He can still be worth a #3 starter, that's enough to keep him around since you're not gonna get equitable returns on him and, well, next year you guys should be aiming for the division crown.

 

[bonesmccoy]

Felix for Sanchez

It's like Pineda for Montero

It's like poetry

 

[detectiveconan1]

I love Prado.

 

[Jack Scofield]

I thought I was in the wrong thread for a second.

 

[GK86]

Why wasn't TJ promoted sooner?

 

[alr1ght]

Man, this ESPN broadcast of Indians/Tigers is horrible. Their PBP man must have gotten sick and Doug Glanville is doing it last minute and he is absolutely atrocious.

 

[Frozenprince]

Why wasn't TJ promoted sooner?

Because he only does one thing.

He does that one thing really, really well.

But he only does one thing.

And Terry likes guys who do 4 things, but all 4 things poorly.

Etiquette is if I get up to let someone pass you don't just stand right in front of me and have a conversation.
