Now that's Mauer's cleared waivers, here's the deal on him. Still owed $138 million over the next six seasons. Also, he a full no-trade clause. He has no options however.

When the dodgers getting on the phone?

I see the Ichiro Suzuki curse still working in full effect for the Yankees.

16-17 Yankees
21-12 Mariners

Records since the Ichiro trade.

COINCIDENCE? I THINK NOT.

Wow. That's terrible. He seems to be striking out or grounding out alot more lately...

Here we go, can Stubbs get the Golden Sombrero?

 

[TheNatural]

BOOYA. Phillips 2 run Johnson.

The Reds cannot be stopped.

 

[CygnusXS]

It's a pretty shitty year for NL rookies, I think he has a better than average shot of winning it.

If only Simmons had stayed healthy...

 

[BaltimoreLarry]

I just stared at the standings with the Orioles only 3 games out this late in the year for 10 minutes. I don't know how to handle baseball still mattering when football is starting.

 

[CygnusXS]

My on-tv options for baseball today are Mets/Phillies or Rays/Rangers. Which should I go with?

Well, I'm getting Red Sox/Angels too, but fuck that.

Rays/Rangers.

Clearly Phils Mets. Harvey is starting for the Mets and the Phils called up a rookie today who will be making his first ML start.

Have you heard of the minor league player from the Phils who has 18 homers in August? is he a top prospect for you guys?

I heard Ruben say he didnt think so. He is a big slow white guy. A few sites listed him as the Phils 12th best prospect.

Yeah, I was leaning towards this game because of Harvey. But on the other hand, I'd rather watch a game with relevant teams, so, this is a tough one.

 

[HarryDemeanor]

It feels really good to get a win today. Now hopefully the Astros don't suck today and actually win.

 

[Windu]

prepare for the braves to get shutout

 

[Maxim726X]

Does Dickey have a legitimate shot at the Cy Young?

I'm leaning towards no, seeing as he is a knuckleballer.

 

[Windu]

tied for 4th in Starter fWAr, 2nd in SIERA. i'd say he has a good shot. I'd probably vote for Strasburg though.

 

[matthewwhatever]

Does Dickey have a legitimate shot at the Cy Young?

I'm leaning towards no, seeing as he is a knuckleballer.

I think he has a good shot. He has good traditional stats, plus he's got a good narrative. Strasburg won't because of being shutdown. Cain might have a chance, too? I'm talking as an AL fan, so I don't pay super close attention, but Dickey seems like he could win.

Edit: Also,ESPN has him second in their Cy predictor, just behind Cueto and ahead of Chapman.

 

[rando14]

Does Dickey have a legitimate shot at the Cy Young?

I'm leaning towards no, seeing as he is a knuckleballer.

Strasburg has him soundly beat in pretty much all of the advanced stats.

EDIT: matthewhatever has a good point, Strasburg is being shut down so yeah he's probably out. After him, I'd argue it's a tossup b/w Dickey and Kershaw, they have extremely similar stats.

 

[Windu]

Strasburg will maybe miss one start because of all of that nonsense. Honestly, he probably won't miss any.

 

[sf2fanatic]

When the dodgers getting on the phone?

Dodgers looking for pitching. Listening to Dodgertalk right now and they said that Jensen is having heart issues again. That's why he wasn't in the game. Also getting Guerrieri back soon.

 

[Windu]

Michael Bourn

/bow

 

[Little Green Yoda]

Oh joy, another Pirates pitcher with a shitty ERA against the rest of the league but has a sub-2 ERA against the Cards lifetime.

 

[RBH]

If only Simmons had stayed healthy...

When is he scheduled to return, btw?

 

[Windu]

When is he scheduled to return, btw?

I think he is supposed to start playing rehab games the first week of sept.

 

[The Frankman]

It's going to be interesting to see Matt Harvey tonight vs. the Phils. They have alot of good fastball hitters.

 

[zulux21]

ah today's game already feels much better than yesterday.
hopefully the white sox can win this one and KC can beat the tigers again.

 

[CygnusXS]

Juan Pierre almost just hit a homer off of Harvey.

 

[The Frankman]

Juan Pierre almost just hit a homer off of Harvey.

A CBP homer, you mean.

EDIT: LOL Hairston has no range in CF. Torres catches that.

Yeah, Hairston in CF is pretty funny.

 

[The Frankman]

So far Harvey is sticking to the script of his last start (he threw 76% fastballs then). Hairston being in center cost him a hit, but it looks like he's going to go heavier in the changeup/slider 2nd time through the order. 1-0 Phils.

Yeah, Hairston in CF is pretty funny.

Yeah, they're trying to evaluate him in CF w/ Torres falling off the face of the Earth. Once rosters expand Captain Kirk will probably play CF half the time.

 

[jakncoke]

come on cutch knock snider in

edit: ugh cutch is so craptastic

edit: jones killed that fucker

 

[The Frankman]

.. wtf did Baxter even try to get out of the way of that ball? Wow.

 

[CygnusXS]

.. wtf did Baxter even try to get out of the way of that ball? Wow.

Dude didn't even flinch.

 

[The Frankman]

Please let Matt Harvey swing.
Please let Matt Harvey swing.

EDIT: YES!

 

[harSon]

Are we good again?

 

[Dmncnby2k9]

Best Met Hitter, Matt Harvey.

 

[vas_a_morir]

Are we good again?

At least for tonight, I hope so.

 

[jakncoke]

Are we good again?

cutch still isnt. so prob no

 

[Little Green Yoda]

Are we good again?

No, we just suck. Your descent towards .500 will continue after tonight.

 

[harSon]

No, we just suck. Your descent towards .500 will continue after tonight.

Naw, I think that beast mode spear by Harrison has invigorated our squad.

 

[Little Green Yoda]

Naw, I think that beast mode spear by Harrison has invigorated our squad.

You probably felt the same after winning the 19 inning game.

 

[CygnusXS]

Congrats on winning the series Padres and G-Fex.

 

[The Frankman]

If Tyler Cloyd keeps throwing meatballs over the plate, eventually one of these Mets hitters will hit one to Pittsburgh.


Probably Harvey.

Congrats on winning the series Padres and G-Fex.

I'm pretty sure he quit Sports-GAF. Something about no time to watch games.

 

[Mr. Enigma]

God, Hanson fucking sucks now. Put him in the trash with Jurrjens.

 

[harSon]

You probably felt the same after winning the 19 inning game.

Not really. I was worried that it'd have an effect on our bullpen and pitchers, and it did.

 

[CygnusXS]

I'm pretty sure he quit Sports-GAF. Something about no time to watch games.

I'll look for him to jump on some bandwagon in a couple months.

 

[harSon]

Barajas with plate discipline? I don't even...

 

[Windu]

I don't think there is a worse hitter in MLB than Tommy Hanson.

 

[cashman]

I blame Luis martinez
