I want Bird back just to get rid of Carter. His hitting has been atrocious

Good for him! Knew he'd get it soon.

 

[3N16MA]

Yanks have outscored their opponents 55-9 during their 5 game win streak.

 

[Friggz]

i'm writing him off based on his entire minor and major league career. he's a 1b prospect who has never done anything special that would warrant any excitement for him at that position.

i mean, it's baseball, so anything can happen. there's just no reason to think he's good.

the only reason that bird was never a big time prospect was because his glove lagged big time behind his bat (395 obp for his MiLB career). I havent seen one scouting publication that said he wouldnt be a pretty damn good hitter, his glove just held him back from being a top prospect. I assumed everything i just typed was fairly common knowledge within the baseball community.

 

[Lexxism]

What a good day. Hitting with RISP!

 

[BFIB]

NIce turnaround weekend for the Cards. But deep down, I believe this is true:

 

[Lexxism]

120,135 series attendance. Not bad Jays

 

[DrForester]

Oh man, a Rockies comeback and sweep would be so nice...


edit:
Dang

 

[Line_HTX]

I guess I'll pull for the Yankees to destroy the Astros in the ALCS but I won't feel good about it.

Wow, Chris... You really want us to be Mariners in ALDS, huh? Talk about getting to hasty.

SMH

Scherzer gets squeezed and the inning goes down the shitter.

Where is Gallo?!

Sweeep. Oh, and fuck the O's.

 

[DireStr8s]

Nationals dropped the soap & got fucked big time this series.

But hey, Scherzer got his 2000Ks

 

[rekameohs]

This team is uh, pretty fun.

Goldschmidt and Lamb have 108 RBIs. That is a 3-4 punch.

 

[Alex Stroud]

DFA the entire goddamn bullpen. Fuck.

 

[rekameohs]

26-9 at home - just need to get it going on the road

 

[17 Seconds]

Man, shut up. Everyone in the organization was raving about him.

whoa that never happens

 

[17 Seconds]

i never said he couldn't hit. he's a 1b prospect, and you have to be extremely good offensively to add real value there. his minor league numbers are fine, but not really exciting for a guy locked to 1b/dh. he seems like the type to end up as an .800ish ops 1b who bounces from team to team having some decent 2-3 win season along the way.

then again he could be a monster, because it's baseball and who the fuck knows

 

[Sanjuro]

I had a Roger Clemens poster.

Fuck you, Boone.

NL West is HEATING UP.

Arizona, Colorado, and Los Angeles.

TRIPLE THREAT MATCH FOR THE NL WEST CROWN.

TURN UP THE HEAT.

 

[shanafan]

These ESPN announcers for the Tigers/Red Sox game are awful.

They are literally telling personal stories instead of calling the baseball game during the 4th inning. It's been maybe 7 minutes now, and just random story after story. What the heck is going on??

 

[chicagocubsfan]

Cubs gonna win the central at 81-81 and then sweep the postseason. 5th dimension chess being played.

 

[Chase17]

Pesky pole betrayal

 

[sf2fanatic]

Sweeep. Oh, and fuck the O's.

Ah Fatal Four Way?


HR contest is going to be fun. Rip Marlin sculpture

Will there be a McMahon in every corner?

 

[sf2fanatic]

Will there be a McMahon in every corner?

Who ever wins will probably get a belt from HHH. He seems to hand out belts a lot lately

 

[Line_HTX]

Marlins Park has a giant mark in the center to hit to, right sf2?

 

[Frozenprince]

Draft tonight, McKay probably going first (lol Twins).

 

[sf2fanatic]

I believe so.

 

[timetokill]

Cody B with two homeruns yesterday and Seager getting his first grand slam to complete the comeback is just too awesome

All 3 are gonna make it to the playoffs

 

[BigAT]

Ugh, west coast road trip. At least Judge can still hit balls back to the eastern time zone.

Yep, nobody in the NL is even close to them in the WC, it'll be like 2015 where the division is so far ahead of everybody else they'll have to eat each other to get in.

 

[jello44]

@Astros

Roster moves:
Joe Musgrove activated from 10-day DL
Lance McCullers Jr. placed on 10-day DL with lower back discomfort (retro to June 9)

FFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK

 

[blackaroni]

Fucking fuckity fuck. Can we go back to May?

 

[Malo]

What do you like him better as? Pitcher or position player?

 

[Frozenprince]

What do you like him better as? Pitcher or position player?

Position player for sure, bat is infinitely safer bet than him ever developing his secondary pitches.

But he's such a soft hitter that I can't see him ever being worth all that much. He's not gonna hit for nearly as much power with wood bats in big league parks against big league pitching.

welcome two of you to winning more games than the rest of the league and playing each other in a 1 game wild card.

From everything I've read on him that seems about right.

Surprised that the twins would go with McKay over Wright. If that ends up happening.

 

[CygnusXS]

Yo Astros, you want a Jaime Garcia? He's fully functional!

 

[BFIB]

Can someone please hack us so we can get some 1st round picks back?

Our password is CardsKKK

The K's are for strikes obviously.

 

[CygnusXS]

Here's my draft preference list for the Braves (I'm excluding Greene for obvious reasons):

Top hopes:
Kyle Wright
Mackenzie Gore
Austin Beck

Perfectly happy with:
Royce Lewis
Jo Adell

Yeah sure:
Shane Baz
Bukauskas
Jeren Kendall

What? No:
Keston Hiura
Any other college player

 

[3N16MA]

Yo Astros, you want a Jaime Garcia? He's fully functional!

Everyone knows he is held together with duct tape.

 

[Malo]

I'm just hoping one of the top ten talents in the draft fall to the Yankees like Rutherford did last year.
