Glutton for punishment, I guess.

Mauer's still awesome. The pitching staff is horrible. I'm not sure I'll be able to keep watching when they inevitably trade Liriano for peanuts. The pitching staff would go from really bad to giant pile of diarrhea after that trade.

Poor you.

 

[acheron_xl]

ffs Brewers. Maybe the local blackout is a good thing, sparing me the pain of having to witness this shitshow of a season.

 

[ZeroRay]

Nate has been pitching well so far this season. No run support. Another Kuroda.

No run support?

Prooobabbly not gonna be better off with us then.

 

[yankeehater]

I wonder what the Phillies could get for him. If the Phillies got prospects as well as getting the contract off the books, it may not be the worst thing in the world.

Edit: If the Phillies keep winning they may be able to keep some players to at least attempt a run.

Trade no one. Lets see what they can do the rest of the way.

 

[Fenix]

Escobar scratched from tonight's lineup...

Edit: Back tightness.

 

[JABEE]

Trade no one. Lets see what they can do the rest of the way.

If the Phillies want to make a run, they should probably add a middle relief pitcher.

 

[rando14]

Good pitching from Iwakuma today, kept the offense low on a good power team. I'd like to see more of that.

 

[Mr. Enigma]

Trade no one. Lets see what they can do the rest of the way.

They're still in last place and 14 games back of the Nationals. They are only 9.5 back of Wild Card #2, but have 7 teams in front of them.

 

[dmag1223]

Phillies are "deep" in talks with the Reds about a trade that would send Shane Victorino to the Reds in exchange for Logan Ondrussek. The Phillies would cover some of Victorino's salary.

They are also talking to the Dodgers about a deal with Victorino for Josh Lindblom.

Sure why not. Ondrusek is easily replaceable.

It's guarantee pitching time. He was a fill in for Lilly

 

[jman2050]

They're only going to get worse from here. Trying to make an ill-advised run is the opposite of what they should do.

 

[Mr. Enigma]

AT&T Park in San Francisco will host the semi-finals and the finals of the 2013 World Baseball Classic.

 

[Macattk15]

M's should get a prize for fixing Oliver Perez.

 

[yankeehater]

I agree they need a RH RP big time. Trade a prospect or cash but not anyone that they need to make a run.

 

[endresults]

They get nothing until they fix Smoak and/or Ackley.

 

[Talon]

Teh Hanley trade is a gamble, but a nice change from the past ownership group so I'll take it.

Worst case we're overpaying for a spot we greatly need help in. He's hitting more consitant that Grodon and with more power. He has more HR's that Andre as a SS. So the trade will make us better. It's just a lot of money if he only makes us slightly better.

Oh, the grousing to come about his play at third.

 

[Blearth]

Unless a miracle occurs, the Giants will be 2-9 in the third game of a series in which they won the first two games.

I blame Bochy.

 

[rando14]

dammit carp, that was straight outta smoak's playbook

 

[Mr. Enigma]

Jason Marquis is throwing a 2-hitter against the Giants. Wow.

 

[Blearth]

Jason Marquis is throwing a 2-hitter against the Giants. Wow.

He's our Kryptonite.

 

[Macattk15]

Mariner fan shown with his sign in the stands .... "Yankee or not your my Ichi-hero" #smh with dat grammar.

 

[CygnusXS]

I'm bored. Can the Braves hurry up and get Greinke already?

 

[clemenx]

Starling Marte called up. Pirates making a run boys!

 

[Mr. Enigma]

Dodgers lineup:

1. Bobby Abreu - LF
2. Mark Ellis - 2B
3. Matt Kemp - CF
4. Andre Ethier - RF
5. Hanley Ramirez - 3B
6. James Loney - 1B
7. Luis Cruz - SS
8. A.J. Ellis - C
9. Aaron Harang - P

 

[Dominican Power]

Shitty Mariners.

 

[evil solrac v3.0]

the fuck is with all this hitting our people? fucking grungers....

 

[Mr. Enigma]

Bunch of sources said the Brewers are now open for business after blowing three straight games against the Phillies.

Expected to be traded now are Zack Greinke, Aramis Ramirez, Francisco Rodriguez, George Kottaras. Some people have said they would be also willing to move Corey Hart for the right deal.

 

[Macattk15]

Well dis is no good. I miss Charlie Furbush.

AJ Ellis gets no respect. He's third on the team in wOBA and WAR and they bat him 8th.

 

[CygnusXS]

I hope the Phillies get K-Rod for middle relief.

 

[evil solrac v3.0]

ok can we please win this game?

 

[captmcblack]

Why would we choose to bat Nix for Ibanez with bases loaded?

 

[Macattk15]

God damn. Mike Trout at 6 WAR.

Hit another HR today.

Why would we choose to bat Nix for Ibanez with bases loaded?

DONT YOU LOOK STUPID.

I haven't seen anyone say Ramirez is expected to be traded. Right now his move is dependent on acquiring Olt supposedly.

Mariners lose. Good series Yanks, sorry for hitting your HOFers

 

[weekend_warrior]

Jayson Nix is a true Yankee.

 

[Macattk15]

Mariners lose. Good series Yanks, sorry for hitting your HOFers

Don't you apologize for A-Rod!

 

[rekameohs]

Mariners lose. Good series Yanks, sorry for hitting your HOFers

Ichiro will go in the HOF as a Yankee.

 

[Alex Anderson]

hey hey plating some baserunners finally

also, yikes at that "Mariners are hitting .195 at home this season" stat from earlier on da YEScast

 

[Macattk15]

Ichiro will go in the HOF as a Yankee.

LOL.

You comedian you.

 

[evil solrac v3.0]

Don't you apologize for A-Rod!

APOLOGIZE!!!

 

[rekameohs]

LOL.

You comedian you.

Spoiler

So will Felix

 

[Talon]

Starling Marte called up. Pirates making a run boys!

Starling Castro + Andy Marte = Starling Marte?

Also, I like Corey Hart. I just want to say that. This may be wholly based on one Brewers - Cubs game where Corey Hart was particularly entertaining.

 

[sangreal]

Why would we choose to bat Nix for Ibanez with bases loaded?

Ibanez is completely useless against lefties. I haven't looked, but I'm sure the binder puts Nix versus a righty ahead of Ibanez versus a lefty. Better question is why didn't Joe pinch last night

 

[Fenderputty]

Oh, the grousing to come about his play at third.

Well ... he's not playing at thrid for a while. We'll see what they do when Gordon comes back.

EDIT: just saw that linup on the page. Donnie was on 710 today saying they would use him at SS for the meantime though so ...

 

[sf2fanatic]

AJ Ellis gets no respect. He's third on the team in wOBA and WAR and they bat him 8th.

AJ has been in a funk. The ware and tear of catching has caught up to him. IMO Loney should be batting 8th. Ellis or Cruz 6th,7th

 

[HarryDemeanor]

Well ... he's not playing at thrid for a while. We'll see what they do when Gordon comes back.

He's playing at third tonight, but yeah he'll probably get put onto SS sooner or later.

 

[Fenderputty]

He's playing at third tonight, but yeah he'll probably get put onto SS sooner or later.

I just don't see how you can keep playing Gorodon. He's not producing ... at all. He's also not that great defensively.

LIke I said ... Donnie was on 710 today saying they wanted to use him at SS for the meantime. I'm shocked he's playing 3rd tonight.

Cruz has swinging the bat well plus Uribe and Hairston hasn't been playing well
