Bartolo Colon has officially been released by the Braves after being unable to trade him and Colon (expectedly) refusing an assignment to AAA.

Mets will probably sign him because why not? The Braves still have to pay his remaining salary.

No, Adrian Beltre and Carlos Beltran both debuted in 1998. Beltre was 19 and Beltran was 21.

If you want to creep ahead one year, Bronson Arroyo and Jason Grilli both debuted in 2000.

Edit: Huh. Bronson Arroyo apparently made his Major League debut as a pinch hitter. How about that.

I still maintain that the Brewers need to trade Ryan Braun to get a little bit of pitching. Offense seems to be perfectly fine without him and if the Brewers could lock down some relief pitching they'd likely be able to lock down the division.

it's at the point where the brewers could realistically win the division, but they're still the clear underdogs, no matter what they do at the deadline. i'm no longer just assuming the cubs turn it around this season, but it's still likely they do, at least to an extent. so mny guys have under performed to the extreme, and they're certainly getting rotation help.

I think everyone is waiting for the Brewers to regress and it's not happening. I just laugh because the Brewers have been leading the division for most of the season and nobody wants to talk about them. Just watching the Crew, you can look into that dugout and tell they believe they can win the division. Admittedly they're one bad slump from losing that lead

Their careers aren't over so there hasn't been a downturn but kimbrel, chapman, jansen, betances and davis top the career fip list for relievers.

Anyway, of retired guys i guess smoltz, rivera and gagne come to mind.

Also not this guy:

When you're leading one of the weaker divisions in baseball with a record that wouldn't get you third in the West, is there much to talk about?

Who the fuck is taking on that contract? It's kinda funny when it was signed everyone assumed he would opt out, now it's looking less and less likely that he will. IIRC Fangraphs tried to project the value of the life of the remainder of the contract and it's unlikely, on the trajectory he's on, that Stanton will meet the value of the contract when adjusting for price of WAR.

Joe Six-Pack: posting for the common man
did someone screen cap that stat they were showing, the astros have the most runs per game (on the road maybe) except for like the 1939 yankees and some other yankees teams from 80 years ago.


Who the hell makes these schedules? Why are the astros playing the braves again? Why the hell are there ~19 games per division opponent? thats absurd. There's no reason why you cant inter-league and at least see the majority of the league at least once. 162 games and damn near half of it is against your own division.
