.500 at the break for the first time in 5 years. Impressive considering we have 857 pitchers on the DL (+1 today).

When is Morrow coming back?

 

[Fenix]

When is Morrow coming back?

Probably mid-August. No timetable yet though.

 

[Windu]

To add to the Marlins stupidness


At least he'll has time to heal over the break.

well, the TV show should be entertaining.

 

[Rafa=FedKilla]

So glad this marlins shit is blowing up in their faces. You killed the Expos, you fleeced the snior citizens of Florida and you disrespected my Cuban people. I will put pubic hair all over Loria's art collection if he so much as tries to wink at me on match.com

Phillies lose again in the Ryan Howard era :'(

 

[HarryDemeanor]

Not good to be going into the ASG break with a 2 game losing streak.

With 6 ER he allowed today vs Pit, Tim Lincecum has already allowed more ER (69) in the 1st half than he gave up in 4 of his 5 full seasons!

Something's wrong. He needs to be DL'd.

Did you ever know that you're my hero?

Edit: here you go Windu, Gose vs Bethancourt.

Dammit Hamilton.

(Before today)

Kimbrel - Chapman

ERA: 1.41 - 1.88

FIP: 1.03 - 1.58

xFIP: 1.36 - 1.70

SIERA: 1.22 - 1.12

tERA: 0.89 - 1.58

WAR: 1.6 - 1.7

Pretty safe to say that if the NL team has a lead going into the 8th, they've won.

Also, Kimbrel's BB/9 is down to 2.73 on the season so far. Who would have thought that would ever have been possible? Beast.

Updated story on Simmons. Injuries like this often require 4-6 wks, hopeully this answers a lot of your questions http://bit.ly/La6JlE

[Windu]

I bet George Brett has gone through 5 pairs of pants in this game already.

Yes. YES.

 

[Little Green Yoda]

Something's wrong. He needs to be DL'd.

Is he just not fooling hitters with the diminished velocity? That LD% is crazy.

 

[Fenix]

I love that story.

Futures Game announcer just said (really): "With Jeff Francoeur, what do you do with Wil Myers." Royals explained in a sentence

David Snell
‏@drsnell

@JPosnanski Francoeur's potential still trumping Myers' potential.

Wait, there weren't any Yankees prospects in the futures game? That sucks.

Is Bernie Williams a managerial prospect?

Nope.

I don't even think he has officially retired yet.

Tyler Austin

I know he was selected but he couldn't play due to getting hit in the head. I'm just surprised they didn't pick a replacement for him. I would have loved to see Mason Williams or Gary Sanchez play.

Sabermetrics, I can't keep up.

 

[jakncoke]

woot

edit: lol that got away

 

[Windu]

Sabermetrics, I can't keep up.

Just look at SIERA and xFIP for Pitching, wRC+ for hitting, UZR and DRS for Fielding and WAR for overall value.

 

[Fenix]

Scott Downs has quietly been the best relief pitcher in baseball. ERA+ of 1271, lol.

 

[jakncoke]

well then ..

edit: nice play by machado

 

[clemenx]

Bell on suicide watch

Heath Bell said Ozzie Guillen "has to do the best thing, the right thing for the team and right now I plain out suck.'' ‪

Heath Bell -- Ive let the whole organization down. Im the reason we’re 10 games back

BELL All of my teammates can definitely blame me for (us) being 10 games back, If I did my job we’d be right in the hunt.

 

[Rafa=FedKilla]

They don't overrate Yankees prospect in the Futures Game like GM's do.

 

[RBH]

Seattle maybe about to blow it........

 

[bjb]

Bell on suicide watch

Watching the end of that game was hilarious. By the time the bases were loaded - Bell knew he was fucked.

Also he stormed into the dugout and appeared to immediately just rip off his shirt, throw it on the ground and expose his overweight body to everyone.

 

[Rafa=FedKilla]

Francouer not in the futures game? Da fuck?

 

[turnbuckle]

Tigers break record for most strikeouts thrown before All-Star Break

 

[rekameohs]

3 game. Don't be shorting us out.

That's the Trevor Bauer we've been waiting for.

 

[Windu]

 

[jakncoke]

lol 15-5

 

[CygnusXS]

Bell on suicide watch

Reminds me of Lackey's quotes from last year.

 

[vas_a_morir]

Welp, I'm surprised the Reds were able to do an 11 game West Coast roadtrip... and come out with a winning record. Thrilled beyond my wildest dreams.

 

[CygnusXS]

Justin Smoak is so weird. 11 HRs in 347 PA, .333 SLG.

wat

 

[darkside31337]

Wheeler coming in! Finally!

Probably for one better :/

 

[CygnusXS]

Oliver Perez velocity chart:

hmmmmm

Still pitching as an extreme fly ball guy though, so expect homers soon.

 

[Dominican Power]

Just dropped B.J. Scrubton for Tyler Colvin. *Kanye shrugs*

Tyler Colvin + Joe Mauer are my 1B until Adrian Gonzalez stops being a scrub.

 

[CygnusXS]

And Perez blows it. Calling it, he still sucks.

 

[darkside31337]

Rondon is awesome. Dude must be 300 pounds at least. Throws 102.

Lol he's listed as 6'2 190. Yeah sure.

 

[Sanjuro]

There goes the no-hitter.

 

[darkside31337]

Every time they say Matt Barnes I think of the basketball player who smokes a ton of a weed (and I mean a ton). Cool dude.
