All is lost.

 

[darkside31337]

Ugh. Niemann is injured again.

 

[weekend_warrior]

Really thought we were going to get no-hit today.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

DeJesus with a sick catch in right

 

[RBH]

 

[Ninja Scooter]

MLB should get rid of the draft and just let teams sign players at 16 like they do with latin players.

 

[Windu]

We're back on top in the race that matters!

enjoy your pythag penis trophy.

draw me like one of your french girls

 

[Jangocube]

All is lost.

Granderson out too.

Joy!

 

[Judderman]

What a choke.

*pumps fist*

 

[sangreal]

Os choking

 

[rando14]

Lol Strop put those runs on Chen, ahahahah

 

[Mr. Enigma]

If the Yankees botch this, it's truly over for them.

In response to Jurickson Profar's recent call up, Ron Washington has decided to let Elvis Andrus DH and

let Michael Young play SS :| :|

I'm convinced that Joe doesn't understand how to platoon

It's the 8th inning. Rosters are expanded. Why is Andruw jones hitting against a righty?

 

[darkside31337]

Joel Peralta is fucking awful. Stop using him as the setup guy.

 

[Y2Kev]

I'm convinced that Joe doesn't understand

say no more

 

[cashman]

What the fuck?

For reference since being called up on August 1st, Mike Olt has only gotten 32 PAs

Washington's own experiences as a journeyman player have had a profound effect on how he handled his clubhouse. Near the end of his playing career, Washington had just hit .327 for the Houston Astros' Triple-A team in Tucson, Ariz. Astros general manager Bob Watson called after the season and offered him a job as a player/coach. Washington lit into him over the phone and told him that he was outperforming all of the organization's young prospects. He was insulted that Watson wasn't rewarding his performance.

Washington told me that story Tuesday night as if it had just happened. And I can't help but think those types of slights, real or perceived, play a role in how loyal he is to his veteran players. Maybe at some point he'll have to make way for Profar. But it's not going to happen this season.

Fernando Rodney for Cy Young.

The Yankees will probably win tomorrow as well, and everybody is going to wonder what the hell they were so worried about

Man. Felix ALWAYS does shitty against the Angels.

I don't get it.

Hopefully it's just a case where he gets roughed a bit early on then settles down.

 

[clemenx]

I know Felix has set a great standard for himself but isn't calling a 1-run inning shitty a bit much?

Ignore this if he gets shelled later

 

[DUFFMCWALIN]

The Cubs are such an embarrassment to the sporting world. How do you get out cheered by fans from a team on the other side of the country? We have no fan base like the Sox or Yankees.

 

[Carlbeego]

Did anyone just see the ending to the Rays game?

What kind of slide was that?

 

[Mr. Enigma]

Oh god. The Phillies guy and Mitch Williams are doing the Braves game on Fox.

 

[eznark]

... do you normally act douchey, or only when the A's are winning?

After 5 years you're just now noticing? Dude is King Wet Blanket

 

[McNei1y]

Thanks cards.

 

[rando14]

Thanks cards.

Lohse's ERA is ridiculously misleading, it's time it gets up to where it should be.

 

[Little Green Yoda]

2 runs? In a single inning? To quote the Nats announcer from Thursday night, what "a crooked number!"

 

[rando14]

Trayvon!

 

[Little Green Yoda]

Wow, the team learned to hit again!

Now we just need our pitching to step up...

 

[The Frankman]

After 5 years you're just now noticing? Dude is King Wet Blanket

You know me eznark. I give everyone a chance. I gave Oliver Perez a chance for crying out loud.

I look back on both decisions and think...

 

[Windu]

bases loaded, no outs, top of the lineup annnndd fredi brings in one of our worst relievers. yay

 

[Mr. Enigma]

They're not scoring shit anyways, so who cares?

 

[Mr. Enigma]

Great job by Avilan to minimize the damage. Oh wait. He just "got lucky" again. Clearly they should have brought in Martinez to give up a grand slam, right, Windu?

 

[Windu]

yes, Christian would be the better option. much better control than avilan.

 

[Mr. Enigma]

yes, Christian would be the better option.

Of course, despite the fact he gets battered everytime he pitches, yet the shitty Durbin and Avilan always somehow manage to either escape damage outright or give up very little.

 

[matthewwhatever]

Did anyone just see the ending to the Rays game?

Uuuuugh. I didn't watch the game, and was just following along with Gameday, so when I saw "In play, out(s)" I assumed Rasmus had popped out to end the game. But Vizquel tagged out at home? Seriously? With expanded rosters and Escobar on the bench, why is a 45-year-old man even running the bases?! Farrell is such a lousy manager.

 

[sf2fanatic]

Wow what a Happy Birthday on that Double Play

Felix is likely done at this point, great outing as usual.

EDIT: ERA is down to 2.39. Approaching Godlike-2010 numbers.

Defintely getting closer to locking up CY. But its gonna be close.

 

[Mr. Enigma]

1-2-3 inning by Avilan. Damn, he's so terrible.

 

[rando14]

Uhhhh why is Felix pitching the 8th?

 

[clemenx]

Why not? Just 100 pitches going in.

 

[rando14]

Why not? Just 100 pitches going in.

that's why.

edit: argh so frustrating, such a dumb mistake from seager will cost us the game.

 

[sf2fanatic]

The Machine is actually having a great season...


Helping my fantasy team big time

Mariners lose lol
