Pitching has been phenomenal lately other than that one inning against the Cardinals. Bullpen has been rock solid. Starters have all been great. The addition of Quintana and the return of Hendricks and Lackey not being awful has really helped this team. They didn't hit well at all this series and still won 2 of 3 because the pitching shut the Brewers down for three games.
Yes, all good. Pretty much like last year when the starters carried them all the way. Love to get another rock solid bullpen arm. Starters are fine. You can do much, much worse then having lack as your 5th guy.

Maddon seems awfully confident we will have some new players tomorrow.
Did he talk about it again today?

Beltre is awesome. I wish the Dodgers kept him.

LOL, so Mo is now stating that "We don't anticipate anything big at the deadline."
Um, how about trying to land any spot for Grichuk for anything of value back? Or Lynn, who you know you're not going to keep. The reliever market is in need of arms, and we have plenty to offer.
I am so fucking sick of hearing this shit. Been two years now of "We anticipate doing big things!" yet nothing is happening.
Rant over, enjoy the salt from this BFIB who's getting fed up.

I'm surprised no one has posted the Beltre in the dugout laughing .gif

Why the heck would STL keep Lynn? Makes no sense.
In other news, Andrew McCutchen is really good.

Interesting. Under team control through next year.
Edit:. Candelario is scratched from his start. Trade in coming.

Candelario is blocked everywhere. So would be good to get someone of value for him.
Happy for Beltre. It's fun to see some of my favorite mariners get to 3k hits.
Holy shit, that looked painful for Reyes. 97 straight to the forearm.
I'll take a hit on the forearm over the face any day of the week......
Yeah, he doesn't have a position. Hell any position player is blocked.
100%. Mitch 😭

Yup. The rangers are getting back a player to be named later.
Brewers grabbed Brinson last year and ran away as fast as they could. Great trade for them.
Fantastic trade. The Brewers are a really good team. Their pen is solid and impressive.

Please no. Cubs farm system is shit now. You have the Brew Crew, Houston and The Dodgers all wanting him. Avila needs to get a Verdugo/Brinson/Fisher level prospect back, another top 10 guy in their systems and a low A kid.
So you a Andrew Miller type haul. Good luck with that.

Power lefty who can close with a heat control, damn right an Andrew Miller trade. Avila needs to just hold out until the last minute and not get suckered into a bad deal early like JD. DD only shook Fulmer free from the Mets at the 11th hour 2 years ago.
Wilson has less years of control than Miller did when he got traded, and Miller was the better player at the time of the trade. Don't see how the tigers get that type of haul.
A back end top 100 guy and a guy on a teams' 11-20 range seems like fair value for Wilson.
you can dream, but I am guessing who ever gets Wilson is only going to have to trade a throw away player.
I imagine they will manage to get a return that is even worse than the white sox got for Anthony Swarzak
aka worse than a Ryan Cordell.
Nats need a closer, right? Justin Wilson to there would make the most sense.
Let's play a game that involves 3 people standing close to each other in front of high speed balls.
Worst scenario is when the batted ball pelts pitcher in the face, and fielding team scrambles to pick up the baseball while the runner doubles/triples. Meanwhile, pitcher uncertain of injury extent remains on the ground. Game basically doesn't pause.

My previous offer for Gray/Darvish still stands.
Old Man Utley with the speed.

Cubs supposedly "close" to getting Wilson.

also he probably sucks
Just catching up on some good stuff I missed while at work...
3000 hype!! Congrats to Beltre. Having his family unveil the sign on the outfield wall was a really sweet moment.
The 9th inning in Toronto was great.
And finally, I'll never jump off the #KeepCutch train. He's our generation's Stargell.

Rosenthal says if it gets done it will be Candelario + another spec for Avila and Wilson.

Who paid you to grab Dr. Pavel?
Nats got fuckin' shafted at the end of game one today. What a horrible decision on the challenge.

paredes is the other day. hard to complain about getting 1.5 years of a good reliever for those 2 dudes

Yep. That's a pretty damn good trade. Theo did well.
Cautiously optimistic about the acquisition depending on who the player to be names turns out to be.
Hopefully he can get his offense going for the Rockies, maybe this moon like gravity we have in Denver will do the trick.
