I bet kimbrel is really good at solitare with all of that time sitting in the bullpen.

Haven't you seen the Fredi G bullpen flow chart?

I know it's from last year, but it is basically the same. Just add and remove some names.

 

[rekameohs]

Ah, so we finally got rid of Stephen Drew. He may have had a long history here, but it's needed. Get to avoid that good ole Boras buyout.

Also, the Oakland A's and the Arizona Diamondbacks have pretty much like swapped half of the team at this point.

And theres more.

Melky Cabrera's associate banned

Stark: 'Melky May Have Lost $75 Million'

Major League Baseball circulated a directive Tuesday banning San Francisco Giants outfielder Melky Cabrera's associate from "clubhouses or all non-public areas" of all 30 major league parks.

The associate, Juan Nunez, has been alleged, according to reports, to have masterminded a failed scheme to explain away Cabrera's positive test for synthetic testosterone by fabricating a fictitious supplement and advertising it on a counterfeit website.

MLB executive vice president Rob Manfred notified teams of the action against Nunez, a consultant for Cabrera's agents at ACES Inc., in a memorandum to club presidents, chief executive officers and general managers.

Baseball has not officially confirmed reports of Nunez's involvement in the scheme. But Tuesday's memo directs clubs to ban Nunez from "non-public areas" and to avoid other dealings with him.

The directive, according to an official of one team that received it, reminds clubs that Nunez is "not certified as a player agent" by the Major League Baseball Players Association. The directive then instructs teams to "not conduct contract negotiations with Nunez or otherwise deal with him regarding players on the 40-man roster."

Baseball officials uncovered the scheme as Cabrera prepared his case to challenge the test. His grievance then was dropped, and MLB announced a 50-game suspension for Cabrera on Wednesday with his team battling the rival Los Angeles Dodgers for first place in the National League West.

Angels wearing patches for Pesky tonight as well.

Banned for seeing the White Sox in the flesh. Damn.

Ice cold.

 

[dmag1223]

We may have picked a really bad time to run into the Phillies. They seem to be clicking right now.

 

[ZeroRay]

I wonder how the Braves will lose this one.

Choke? The Nationals luck? Or straight up Strasburg domination?

 

[Mr. Enigma]

Choke? The Nationals luck? Or straight up Strasburg domination?

The Braves usually hit Strasburg well, so it'll probably be Dan Uggla being a meathead again.

My guess is the Nationals being the better team

 

[Sanjuro]

At the game today yay

 

[sazabirules]

I love people complaining and acting like the Nationals are the only team that have won a game on luck.

 

[Mr. Enigma]

Yes, let Maholm pitch in pouring rain and wonder why his breaking stuff doesn't break. Excellent.

 

[Mr. Enigma]

Oh yeah, let's not let baby girl Strasburg pitch in the rain though and call a delay. Fuck you.

 

[Dmncnby2k9]

Chris Young looking good so far, 6 ks in 4 innings. Game zipping along

 

[endresults]

Oh yeah, let's not let baby girl Strasburg pitch in the rain though and call a delay. Fuck you.

The umpires are in charge of calling rain delays, not anyone in the Nats organization.

 

[Mr. Enigma]

What in the world gave you the impression that I thought a team controls when to call rain delays?

 

[Enron]

yes yes yesssss rain delay


fuck off strasburger

 

[HarryDemeanor]

I'm heading out to Dodger Stadium now. I'll see you guys tomorrow afternoon when the game is finally over.

 

[Dominican Power]

Time for The White Sox to pay for their transgressions.

 

[endresults]

What in the world gave you the impression that I thought a team controls when to call rain delays?

You made it sound like it's some kind of agenda to screw over the Braves, so I just put two and two together and assumed you were insane.

 

[dmag1223]

Bleh. Need to get the offense going.

 

[Dominican Power]

Let the scourging begin.

 

[Alex Anderson]

Jeet! smackin that first pitch

 

[weekend_warrior]

Can't pitch to him anymore.

 

[Meohsix]

jeters on fire!

 

[Culex]

Hate Jeter all you want, but Jeter is a true hit-machine. He won't match Pete Rose's mark, but damn he deserves to be up there with him.

 

[dmag1223]

Billy Hamilton just stole his 146th base, setting a minor league record.

 

[RobotHaus]

Wait, are the Mets in line to pitch a PERFECT GAME? That would be something alright. Hope nothing bad happens to mess up this potential PERFECT GAME.

 

[Malo]

Someone check jeter for PEDs.

Stop being the Mets, Mets.

Frankman is coming for you.

That's what the Mets get for their no hitter* against my Cards.

 

[Dmncnby2k9]

Fuck. Error and run scores. Time to watch some Little League.
