I'm always staring at Lauren Shehadi's long, slender legs.

Tonight

 

[Silver Arrows]

Saunders I think will walk. I wouldn't want the Jays to go over 10m per year with him. And, for me, it makes sense to try Pompey in LF next year.

My biggest concern is replacing Edwin's bat.

Of course, knowing the Jays, they'll let EE walk and sign Bautista to the asinine contract he wants, when it should be the other way around.

 

[PROh1bited]

Saunders is going to be a big departure as well. I could see him asking 3-4 year / 50-60million.

Saunders is a one year wonder. Actually, not even, more like a half year wonder.

Money makes a man ask the world.

 

[wbsmcs]

Saunders is a one year wonder. Actually, not even, more like a half year wonder.

FanGraphs still projects him to be an above average bat rest of the year. Who is there to replace him? Not too sure Pompey is ready. An OF of Pompey, Pillar, and Upton might hit 20 homeruns combined. Reddick, Bruce....Colby Rasmus?

I guess it may be easier for them to keep Bautista and find another 1B like Moreland, LoMo, or Brandon Moss.

 

[17 Seconds]

I'm not so sure about that? He's so damn important to the team I can see the team clearing salary space for him. I honestly think he stays. Just get that feeling...

i'm still hopeful that he loves playing here so much that he takes a 3 year deal with us or something like that . i wouldn't blame him in the slightest for getting his big payday elsewhere, but i'd love to keep him around for a while.

 

[Josh5890]

Ichiro isn't in the starting lineup all three games at Wrigley. That sucks for Cubs fans.

For the Mariners fans:

ESPN Stats & Info ‏@ESPNStatsInfo 25m25 minutes ago

Edwin Díaz (@Mariners) recorded his 50th career K in 25⅓ IP, the fastest of any pitcher who made his MLB debut since 1893

Lockers are soft.

Haney's wrist is softer.

I think in all practicality Pompey at this point is a career AAA OF, he just doesn't have the power and can't hit for average at the big league level, basically a downgrade from Pillar, but hey he's the closest prospect to start at the big league level!.

Genuinely glad you all have something.

 

[Velcro Fly]

home plate umpire in this Cubs game is fucking horrendous. Lackey got in his face after the inning was over!

 

[CosmicQueso]

Hey guys, anyone remember that one time the Diamondbacks traded Max Scherzer for Edwin Jackson and Ian Kennedy?

Man. Good times.

the Diamondbacks possibly have some qualms about Scherzer's long-term presence in the rotation and/or think Kennedy is a better bet for that. While Scherzer's 2009 season was certainly a solid performance, there have still been doubts about his stamina, ability to pitch deep into games and questions over whether he has a good enough third pitch to be a reliable starter.

Trea Turner with a 451 foot monster dong.

Seems like Joe Smith didn't have a great debut. Can't watch atm.

 

[Chris R]

Genuinely glad you all have something.

He's only pitched one game at the closer role. Give it another month or so before the spot destroys him

 

[jello44]

LMJ to the DL

 

[Frozenprince]

LMJ to the DL

You ain't seeing him again this year.

 

[Velcro Fly]

oh hey another dreadful call by Marty Foster at home screws the Cubs

 

[Frozenprince]

Bryant got screwed.

 

[chicagocubsfan]

Awesome.
Great AB Zo.

 

[eddievanclaylen]

W! Cubbies!🐻

 

[bebop242]

Fuck yeah!

 

[Frozenprince]

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL Fish.

Holy shit!!

 

[Frozenprince]

BAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHA

 

[lazybones18]

[Lunar FC]

Thank you Cubbies.

 

[Frozenprince]

I really don't understand why they walked Rizzo.

 

[baxter2231]

Mets well send you a thank you letter Cubbies. Now its up to them to take advantage and win tonight.

NL West repping.

I've only been to Coors and Chase myself.

 

[detectiveconan1]

Lol Ramos. Hope we can turn things around in Colorado.

 

[HarryDemeanor]

Clayton Kershaw has been moved to the 60-day DL.

Kill me now.

 

[17 Seconds]

I really don't understand why they walked Rizzo.

rizzo is a god, so i kind of get it, but ramos also walks a ton. i generally hate loading the bases when a run ends/ties it unless you're supremely confident in your pitcher's command.

 

[Silver Arrows]

Clayton Kershaw has been moved to the 60-day DL.

Now who wins the NL West....?

Depends on how long the Corran ketchup curse lasts.

Meh. I'd go SD>PIT>SF. And the Angels park is a little low on the list.

But last place? Nailed that one.

 

[gamz]

He couldn't find the plate and Zorb has one of the best eyes in the league. I knew he'd draw a walk.

 

[Friggz]

Clayton Kershaw has been moved to the 60-day DL.

Kill me now.

meh, its retroactive to june 27th or something. he can come off the DL in 3 weeks.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Clayton Kershaw has been moved to the 60-day DL.

Kill me now.

It's gonna seem dumb to trade all those prospects for rentals if Kershaw can't come back. Guess they had to take a shot.


And your Kershaw fun fact: he's hasn't pitched in over a month but is only 0.1 behind Stephen Strasburg for the lead in pitcher WAR on the season.

 

[HarryDemeanor]

meh, its retroactive to june 27th or something. he can come off the DL in 3 weeks.

Just gotta hope that he does.
