Liriano would be our 3rd starter, I guess. I'd take him if the cost is low enough. FIP/xFIP below 4 after tonight, which is better than Minor or Delgado can say.
Missed this. Never seen someone hope for one of their players to face Kimbrel before.

Because a guy who is in running to be the MVP is scared of Kimbrel, right? Besides, most of the Phillies lineup didn't mind facing Kimbrel last year.
Any baseball player should be, yeah probably.
The other part of your comment is shrug worthy.

Jesus tapdancing Christ this feels like a Yankees/Red Sox game.

edit: Now Ackley is fumbling. Jeezus, only bright spot on this team is casper wells
Kimbrel has a .169 wOBA against. Wright has a 171 wRC+, so let's say he's 71% better than average against Kimbrel. That's a .289 wOBA. League average wOBA is .315 so that's a 92 wRC+. He is as threatening against Kimbrel as Jason Giambi, circa 2012, against the league. Kimbrel has basically no reason to worry about facing him.

I'm not talking about Kimbrel being afraid of Wright, I'm saying Wright isn't quaking in his boots facing him like it's an auto-out as Braves-GAF is implying.
There is no such thing as a sure thing in baseball. Unless you're Mariano, and Wright has touched him up too.
With the Twins' complete lack of quality starters in the upper minors and nearly the entire rotation being FAs after this year, I hope that they only trade Liriano if they can get a decent haul for him. Honestly, I think they should speak to his agent and try to work out an extension. He's their lottery ticket.

Or he strikes the fuck out of him.

and of course Wright swings at ball four. Nice reverse jinx.

Lucas Duda takes far too many pitches for his own good. You're the tying run and can hit the ball a mile, why are you taking the first two pitches down the middle?

Scott Hairston does not get cheated in an AB, what a battle there. Dale, I know it's Fireworks Night but I'm thinking both teams wanted those corner strikes alot earlier.
Hope you got the hangover out of the way, Mets. Get R.A. some support tomorrow.

Braves drew 11 walks. First time they reached this total in a 9-inn. game since 6/20/10. Dale Scott was behind the plate that day too.

"The Mets announced they have agreed to sign LHP C.J. Nitkowski to a minor league contract.
Nitkowskis deal is pending a physical, but he is expected to report to Double-A Binghamton.
Nitkowski, 39, last pitched in the Major Leagues in 2005 with Nationals. That year, he appeared in seven games and allowed three runs in 3 1/3 innings. In ten big league seasons from 1995-2005, Nitkowski went 18-32 with a 5.37 ERA in 336 games and 44 starts.
He was with the Mets in 2001, and allowed no runs in 5 2/3 innings in five relief appearances.
Nitkowski auditioned for the Mets as a sidearm pitcher during Spring Training this past March, but the two sides did not come to terms on an agreement at that time."
THIS BETTER NOT BE THE ONLY MOVE. Oh who am I kidding... The Mets are on their way to another 79 win season. Shit has become so typical over the last 4 years.

Mark Appel is not a true competitor like Correa, Gerrit Cole, Tallion, Tyler Guerreri, and Kevin GasMan. Brah will end up like that former Boras client that was drafted five times, never signed and is working at a local Costco right now. Wouldn't cheer for this entitled broad if he was an Expos 2.0 cap.

Why the fuck would you intentionally walk Rickie Weeks?
It's okay, Aaron Crow didn't sign with the Nats and nobody gives a shit about him.
He's been hitting close to .300 for the last month. That tells you how bad his BA was, if he's hovering around .200 now.
