I dislike the trade too. Granted, the outfield seems to be in a pretty good spot at the moment, trading for an injury prone pitcher is the last thing we need at the moment :\

Honestly don't really see what Jerry sees in AAA starters. I get that he wants to build depth but in the last year he's traded higher upside position players for these high floor pitchers like Heston, De Jong, Lee, Povse, etc and I can't think of any that worked out. I was probably the only mariner fan that disliked or even cared for the Chris Taylor for Zach Lee trade but look at how that's worked out.
I never would have guessed Taylor would have turned into what he has.

Isn't this upcoming FA group pretty weak for [starting] pitchers?
Yes, but he was a good defender at Short (other than that one horrible game last year right before the trade -_- ) and put up numbers before in the MLB and AAA. Basically got rid of our best backup shortstop right when we really needed one last year for nothing. Him being as good as he is right now is just icing.
I'm under the assumption that usually trades are less expensive prospect wise in the offseason than at the trade deadline, with teams being more willing to make trades. But yeah, a poor FA class is probably gonna make this offseason close to as tough to get pitchers as now.
Sounds like the deal is dead.

Leadoff walk in 1 run game
Passed ball that catcher should easily get
How about a sac bunt to get him to 3rd and then balk him in?

Not too mention his upside is as a number 4. Awful trade.

I'd like to make it officially known that I actually did not create the ketchup/mayo poll over on gaming side, lol.

What is Rondon doing throwing three straight sliders that aren't even close.
Just the entire bullpen is fucking awful all on the same day

What is this garbage? Why are they starting with two garbage condiments instead of Mustard?
It helps when their bullpen is either throwing obvious balls or strikes right down the middle.

I went from mad to disgusted to just flat out impressed with that inning.

Maybe the Braves realized Aaron Blair would have to start today against the Dodgers in LA instead of Garcia and someone said, "Uhhhh, delay it a few days".
I'm still holding out hope that the Aaron Blair that pitched against Detroit will show himself again.

Mayo is not good at all. I only really use ketchup for fries since I usually put tomato on my burgers and don't like adding ketchup on tomato. I'm not entirely opposed to ketchup on a burger, though.
Just don't put ketchup on hot dog. D:
Anyways, Kennedy/Shields matchup at the K with being the weather being 97 (feeling like 107) is going to be great! Balls will be flying! ...Or it'll be a 1-0 type of game.

Matz looking dreadful yet again. I know it won't happen mainly because a lot these guys have diminished value for different reasons but I certainly wouldn't mind only seeing deGrom and Syndergaard back as mainstays in the Mets rotation next season.
Looks like the Mets caught Touki Toussiant on one of his good nights. He can be unhittable sometimes.

Done! Can't wait to hit you with yellow and pretend it's mustard.

Who paid you to grab Dr. Pavel?
wtf Scherzer.
wtf.
wtf.
Can we all call a temporary truce and agree that putting mustard OR ketchup on your pizza is inexcusable and some real fucked up delinquent behavior?

A friend made me realize, DiPoto traded Tyler O'Neil for the statistical equivalent of a guy the Mariners gave away for free in the offseason. Such a bad trade.
