Cutch actually hit the ball with runners on base?!

Edit: Oh snap?!

 

[Little Green Yoda]

Pirates own Jake Westbrook.

 

[ConradCervantes]

I don't even care that we're not in the hunt. Just don't fuck this up, Pittsburgh. With any luck, you'll take the division and immediately get swept so my bitterness at being in the cellar can be vindicated.

Pedro Alverez is a good baseball person.

Pirates own Jake Westbrook.

0-5 and 7.94 era at PNC before the game and so far not looking good. Should just not pitched in PNC lol

 

[Steelyuhas]

Great start for the Bucs.

 

[harSon]

Liriano was such a great pickup

It's a five game series which means only one regular in the rotation wasn't going to pitch in this series. Normally I'd say you shouldn't juggle your rotation that much to avoid a matchup but the numbers speak for themselves, I guess.

Then again, it might not matter if our offense keeps slumping.

 

[RGVNOE]

Just got home and it's already 4 - 0 in the 2nd WTF. Hope we can score some runs tonight

 

[CygnusXS]

Expected Beachy to struggle with his location. He wasn't totally sharp in rehab either.

 

[jakncoke]

Grand Salm to kill their spirit?

edit; fuckkkk

 

[harSon]

Not even Westbrook could bail us out of our love for leaving runners stranded

 

[BFIB]

Time for the Cards to build some momentum.

 

[jakncoke]

Westbrook doesnt last past 4 really straining the BP right before tomorrows double header

 

[cashman]

rangers stop embarrassing me

A top AL exec on Cliff Lee and the #Phillies: "They are definitely open to trading him."

https://twitter.com/Joelsherman1/status/361996544502804480

Three top prospects and full salary paid for is what the Phillies want according to Jon Heyman from earlier today.

I want to see who some of the top prospects could be.

Really got the ball rolling that inning

 

[BFIB]

My guess, Lee will be going to Baltimore or Boston.

 

[ReturnOfTheRAT]

Colorado is roughing up Beachy. This is tough team to have your first return start against.

 

[JABEE]

What are some guesses for what a potential Lee trade will look like?

 

[jakncoke]

Craig hitting .485 with RISP wut

 

[BFIB]

Craig hitting .485 with RISP wut

Just went down a little. He is not seeing the ball at all right now.

Fuck. Neither is Molina.

Please dont do it Ruben. If he does hopefully we get MLB ready guys.

 

[CygnusXS]

3 top prospects and $70 million for a 35yo pitcher. No team is doing that.

 

[yankeehater]

I hope you are right.

 

[CygnusXS]

I hope you are right.

I think the only team that would do that is the Phillies so, you're safe.

Now, 2 top prospects and $20 million? That could very well happen.

 

[yankeehater]

I think the only team that would do that is the Phillies so, you're safe.

Now, 2 top prospects and $20 million? That could very well happen.

Yeah because the Phillies are the only team to ever make a bad move. I honestly cant even think of any bad moves they have made outside of trading Cliff.

ASSHOLE.



Oh man, you guys have to watch this when you get the chance, this is incredible. :lol

 

[Runus]

Lol Rockies.

 

[CygnusXS]

Well this is fun.

 

[Dominican Power]

Dumb ass Brewers.

 

[Branduil]

Trade every position player.

 

[JCizzle]

A run against Price. Did not see that coming.

Rangers lose

Welp. Fuck public funding of stadiums.

 

[CygnusXS]

Better luck next time, Brandon.

 

[yankeehater]

Rangers lose

He was talking about trades not contract extensions though. Even if you want to say contracts then the Angles and Yankees have signed worse for sure.

 

[HerbertFish]

White Sox disinformation campaign is awesome. They now have their top pitching prospect lying on his official Twitter that he's not actually with the team.

 

[Dominican Power]

Trumbo has so many holes in his swing.

 

[eznark]

Welp. Fuck public funding of stadiums.

Yup. Miami got what it deserved. Have any city officials been voted out as a result? At least in Milwaukee there were recalls.

 

[jbug617]

Here is what the Boston media has heard about the Peavy talks.

With the trading deadline 4 p.m. Wednesday, the Red Sox say the asking price from White Sox general manager Rick Hahn remains too high, believed to be a package of prospects that includes third baseman Will Middlebrooks but doesn’t stop there.

The source said that the White Sox are hoping to score the kind of package the Milwaukee Brewers got last year from the Angels for Zack Greinke: shortstop Jean Segura, a leading candidate to be the NL Rookie of the Year; top pitching prospect Johnny Hellweg; and a third prospect, pitcher Ariel Pena.

Good luck trying to replicate that trade.

Mayor was recalled. City council should get gutted.

Rangers need to blow it up. Trade everyone who's not a pitcher.

Rangers need to trade you as a fan. Ship you off to The Marlins.

 

[JABEE]

Speculation, but informed speculation:NL exec who has spoken w Amaro lately thinks Phils move Cliff Lee. Chose Boston as likely destination.

https://twitter.com/MartinoNYDN/status/362008681547706368

Hmm who could they get for him?

Who are Boston'a top prospects and what do you think of them?

 

[patjburns89]

Dibs on Profar

You can have Andrus back.

 

[Lambtron]

Liriano was such a great pickup

I'm so glad the Twins gave up on him and signed Kevin Correia. If you need me I'll be hanging by my neck in my closet.

Spoiler

In all seriousness I'm glad that Frank is having success for a team I don't loathe. I like him a lot. I'd like it to be a lesson for the Twins but I know it won't be. That makes it sting really fucking hard.

They clearly aren't trying to replicate that if it is centered around Will Middlebrooks
