lmao, it's been ages since I've seen that picture

 

[Line_HTX]

Goddamn, it's like Matt Harvey slammed into a brick wall...

 

[Frozenprince]

I think it's his last year period.

His arm is shot, he can't handle throwing as hard as he has been and without that he can't be effective.

I think he's done. And the sad thing is that none of it was his fault.

 

[Loco4Coco]

Harvey is pretty much done at this point.

 

[GK86]

Harvey looked done.

Also, the Mets will be extending the protective netting.

 

[Frozenprince]

Harvey is pretty much done at this point.

No pretty much about it. As someone who's armhas similar issues I'll tell you right now, he won't recover. His arm, structurally, is just unable to handle the strain.

He needs a least two years away from throwing and he won't do that.

Plus side is that Peterson should be a quick riser and here by mid season next year.

I thought they already relieved that guy of his duties?

 

[Frozenprince]

And now Noah is done for the year.

Kick ass.

Major League Baseball will relax its uniform rules for a weekend later this season, allowing players to put nicknames on the back of their jerseys, wear fluorescent-colored shoes and personalize a patch paying tribute to someone instrumental in their development, according to a memo obtained by Yahoo Sports.

The event, called Players Weekend, is planned for Aug. 25-27 and was negotiated between the league and MLB Players Association. Players long have sought to express their personal style on the field and capitalize on the intersection of fashion and sports in a way other leagues don’t allow, and the result will be a test of boundaries baseball may be inclined to stretch in the future depending on the weekend’s success.

Players will have the option to wear a jersey with a nickname – though they are limited to just one, according to the memo, and “inappropriate or offensive” nicknames will be banned.

The items with minimal color restrictions include spikes, batting gloves, wristbands, compression sleeves and catcher’s masks. The colors, according to the memo, must avoid interfering with the game and an umpire’s ability to make a call. White gloves, wristbands and sleeves are prohibited.

Each jersey will feature a patch with space for a player to personalize it by “writing the name of an individual or organization that was instrumental to his development,” according to the memo.

The jerseys from the weekend will be sold by MLB, which will donate the proceeds to the Youth Development Foundation, an initiative on which the league and MLBPA work together.

While the memo did not outline rules for bats, the parties at one point had discussed using so-called Home Run Derby bat rules, where players could use alternate designs and colors but needed to submit them for approval beforehand.

CC to the DL and Bird had a setback during his rehab assignment.

Bad day for New York teams.

Rich Hill is available. All we ask is to take him immediately

 

[Beckx]

There's a rumor that Kotaro Kiyomiya, he of the 101 high school HR, is going to come to the US to play college ball.

Would be a massive shock if true.

UCLA or Cal St Fullerton plz

 

[Choomp]

Cespedes, Matz, Lugo up.

Lagares, Walker, Harvey, Conforto down.

How the fuck does this even happen in such a short span of time?

Also that thing with Kiyomiya would be really cool

Ces isn't even really "up" considering he can barely run.

 

[BigAT]

Chris Sale is 7-0 with a 4.22 ERA in his last 8 starts.

Remember when we thought he was going to like 6-14 with a 1.08 ERA earlier this year?

Nice jinx job bro.

 

[GK86]

Is Rosario up yet?

No? ohh ok.

 

[Frozenprince]

Is Rosario up yet?

No? ohh ok.

He certainly wouldn't help even a little.

 

[sf2fanatic]

The fuck when did we get Jurrjens? He got busted for 80 games.
*stares at RBH *

No? ohh ok.

It's safer for him where he is.

 

[Frozenprince]

A.J. Puk is already in AA after demolishing the hardest environment for a pitcher probably in all of baseball outside of Vegas and Colorado Springs.

VERY impressive, he may break with the A's next year.

[Sir Alemeth]

lol wtf at this point they've just got to be tanking the season on purpose....how many games in a row have we lost now by something like 8-1? 9-1??

 

[Mortemis]

would be exciting to see.

 

[Jack Scofield]

Giants suuuuuuck. It's doubly-frustrating to see the Dodgers always manage to succeed, regardless of any missteps, stumbles, or slow starts.

Bah!

 

[BigAT]

Khris Davis throws like Smalls from Sandlot.

Seriously, how is he an outfielder?

 

[Sir Alemeth]

I'm not sure I want the Giants to win this one. Rockies need to win to keep the Doyers down. Lol.

 

[rekameohs]

go giants

 

[HarryDemeanor]

 

[rekameohs]

Giants are poopy

 

[Radiant Silvertuna]

Ugly game, Angels.

 

[Malo]

Sanchez taken out of the game with a foot injury. Please don't be serious.

And now Hicks is out as well. Today was a mistake.

 

[zulux21]

haha great way to get the two runs in the bottom of the 10th.

Yep.

 

[Frozenprince]

Yep.

Darkness covers us like a blanket.

Sox/Nats WS confirmed.

 

[SRTtoZ]

At least Boston lost so nothing was really lost but we had a chance to pickup a game tonight but we just arent making plays right now. Last series the Angels were making great plays that won them the series and we are coming up just short. Should have been Gardners ball I think but whatever, it is what it is. Onto the next one.

 

[Frozenprince]

Oh thank fucking god a buddy of mine in the org say's Rosario is FINALLY coming up.

 

[Sir Alemeth]

There's no coming back this season.
Time to root for the Rockies and the D-Backs.

 

[KidA Seven]

Walker Buehler came back from the DL for an "injury" and did alright. I wouldn't be surprised if he pitches out of the Dodgers pen in September. He's pretty nasty.

 

[Grover Cleveland]

Chris Sale is a better hitter than Pablo Sandoval.

My goodness gracious me

 

[KidA Seven]

When is Devers going to replace him?

 

[BFIB]

Cards are 2-10 against clubs better than .500 this month.

 

[Doogdogg]

When is Devers going to replace him?

We'll find out in roughly 4-6 weeks.

 

[Carpe Libertatem]

Cards are 2-10 against clubs better than .500 this month.

Would be worse too if the Cubs were actually above .500 :lol

We're somehow still in the race though!

 

[Sanjuro]

Rocket commentary tonight!

 

[Windu]

Braves signed first round pick kyle Wright. Cool. He will move fast.
