#Braves Fredi G, told that Carlos Gonzalez (5 hits Mon) had a sore middle finger: "I've got a sore middle finger from him coming up to bat."

We have no remnants that Colby Rasmus was ever a Cardinal now.

It's on. Our new goal is to do what we can to stop the Dodgers from winning the division.

Patrick Wisdom and Steve Bean. Oh, and a flag.

What are we getting in return for Scrabble?

A non-prospect 2B in A ball, it sounds like.

just heard it. why is Mo trading for 2nd baseman, we need SS

We were lucky to get that for Scrabble.

 

[DUFFMCWALIN]

please let it happen. Love to see All my 9er friends cry!!!

Broncos aren't winning anything. There are like two actual contenders in the AFC. The rest are just show ponies.

 

[JABEE]

Everyone is saying Xander Bogaerts is really good. I watched a video of him. He has a quick bat and power. I'm not sure how good of a fielder he is at SS/3B.

If the Phillies move Lee, that's the caliber of player the Phillies should look to get back. I don't want to move Lee for the same type of slop the Mariner gave the Phillies in 2010.

Ken Rosenthal‏@Ken_Rosenthal
Also on #Angels: Source says team “hopeful” of landing #DBacks’ Kennedy. Interest first reported by @JonHeymanCBS.

interesting

 

[JABEE]

If Young is the difference between getting Bogaerts and not getting him...

 

[Corran Horn]

I think we should worry about getting a base hit with a RISP first.

 

[jakncoke]

lol john jay

Don't worry, we got Brett Pill and Roger Kieschnick now!

[jakncoke]

fucking useless ump

lol wtf

 

[Little Green Yoda]

lol john jay

lol Burnett, you mean

 

[jakncoke]

lol Burnett, you mean

Lynn got that strike earlier in the game, so really choke on dicks

Was talking about Jay reaching second on a K. Not the zone.

 

[jakncoke]

Should have been a hit by pitch. Clearly hit the foot.

FUCK DA CARDS!

 

[Little Green Yoda]

I'll have to watch the highlights later. Just following on Gameday right now.

This offense is has been slumping hard.

Couldn't have happened at a worse time either. Had a real bad feeling about this road trip.

Oh that explains. But yeah def hit foot, dont know how the ump didnt hear it either the game audio picked it up even lol

 

[cashman]

If Young is the difference between getting Bogaerts and not getting him...

He won't be unless the Phillies are willing to pay a huge chunk of the salary.

 

[Link]

... do you even remember who they gave up, without checking online?

yeah. Let's not pretend the trade was some terrible decision.

Xavier Nady. And the problem wasn't who we gave up, but who we got.

 

[Little Green Yoda]

Couldn't have happened at a worse time either. Had a real bad feeling about this road trip.

To be fair, the Braves and Pirates have good pitching. But it's not like the pitching in the October is going to be any weaker.

 

[jbug617]

Norris Update:

@brianmctaggart 4m

Hearing that Arizona, Baltimore & Pittsburgh are three of teams in on #Astros pitcher Bud Norris.

 

[jakncoke]

Xavier Nady. And the problem wasn't who we gave up, but who we got.

What exactly you expect to get for him though, I mean he was 27 and had 2.2 bwar at the time . Its not like he was some all star. You got a decent reliever and Oliver Perez who had decent seasons with you. So idk man.

 

[harSon]

Our offense has been slumping the entire season

 

[Syrinx]

Perez wasn't even a disaster until they signed him to that deal after 2008.

Melky, Bartolo and Grandal to escape suspensions

That's the first sensible thing to come out of this mess

 

[jakncoke]

If only i knew how to gif Burnett fuck yeah right there

Jason Parks has him number three. Guy can hit and is a really young player.

 

[Little Green Yoda]

Alvarez is going to make us pay, I bet.

 

[sf2fanatic]

Damn Jay saved a run right there. Cards gaf whats up with Holliday? His effort in the field has been awful since coming back

 

[jakncoke]

Alvarez is going to make us pay, I bet.

I predict he K's.. more than likely :jnc style

Like I said, that trade lead to bad things.

 

[Little Green Yoda]

Down season overall. Could be the start of his decline.

 

[jakncoke]

Sigh

 

[sf2fanatic]

So most likely AL bound? Thx for the info.

 

[Sanjuro]

Rocket is back in a Sox uniform!

 

[lazybones18]

Dat Pirates D

 

[jakncoke]

Fucking Jones

welp infield fly rule, Melancon era now .89

 

[Little Green Yoda]

I'm not sure the Cards could get anything worthwhile for him. 17M/year for another 3 years, plus an option year.

He's always been lousy on defense so I don't know if DHing him would help that much. Looking quickly at his stats, he's hit a lot more infield pop-ups this season than I thought. His K/BB numbers look good - most of the drop in his numbers is in the BABIP, which the increase in pop-ups would explain (along with a slight dip in LD rate).

 

[The Frankman]

Xavier Nady. And the problem wasn't who we gave up, but who we got.

Hernandez was fine. The issue was not acquiring Ollie, as he was a throw-in. It was overpaying Ollie longterm, just because of that it doesn't invalidate the trade.

Hernandez was fine. The issue was not acquiring Ollie, as he was a throw-in. It was locking up Ollie longterm.

As I said above, the trade itself wasn't bad, it was what it lead to.

 

[jakncoke]

lollll

 

[Little Green Yoda]

Whew.
