We got a catcher. Yay? Wonder what this means for FedEx.

He does catch the ball, but that's about all he's capable of.

Hopefully the PBTNL is HanRam.

Yeah, I don't understand the move.

What are you smoking over there Ned?

EDIT: Looks like he's just depth for the playoffs.

Why not move the deadlie up to All Star Week? That way you get the excitement of the ASG, and then you also have big news surrounding the game in the days after. Teams that are playing the waiting game to buy or sell have to make a hard decision.

Obviously waiver wire still plays a part, but at least the trade deadline wouldn't be as lame as fuck.

If anything it will be moved back. The extra playoff slots means teams are in the hunt for longer.

With Norris now in Baltimore, Erik Bedard becomes the highest-paid player on the Astros' roster at just $1.15MM -- an unthinkable concept in today's game.

I don't know if I should laugh at that, or just be sad.

 

[darkside31337]

The real solution is to simply get rid of the August 31st deadline. Simply make it so all trades have to be complete by July 31st or a player is only eligible for your playoff roster if he's in your organization by August 1st.

Gotta make more room for the Hoes.

Nice work Cashman. No need to mess with a winning formula!

 

[captmcblack]

Guess we're going to war with a theoretically healed Jeter, a theoretically healed Granderson, and a functional Soriano to help Cano and the others score runs.


...is there a baseball equivalent of tanking? Because the Yankees should just do that.

If the Yanks got anyone it would be a Hal/Levine move with perhaps Hank not giving a fuck.

The yankees currently have 7.3% chance of making the playoffs according to baseball prospectus.

Did we get rid of Ramon Hernandez? Or is he hurt. FedEx can play some first too Harry

maybe the last two weeks /month. EY Jr./Lagares/Byrd have been a solid trio. if he means the whole season then he done fucked up.

We cut him two months ago. This was just a depth move to give Ellis and FedEx some breaks down the stretch. I'd like to know who we gave up though.

Mets Alderson on why he didn't trade Byrd: "How we perform in the second half was important to us as an organization."

Literally laughing at these quotes. Striving to finish the season .500 is what matters for the Mets I guess.

The Mariners standing pat is the funniest shit. Who the fuck are they trying to kid?

“Again, I think from an organizational standpoint, there is a commitment from us to the players,” Zduriencik said. “And I hope that this message, the fact that we kept this group of guys together, I hope they together realize that, ‘OK, so we believe in what you’re doing. We believe that you guys can compete. And let’s continue to do that. Let’s continue to play good baseball.’ ”

Last night's Dodgers game was the highest rated regular season game since 1998.

Bud Norris will start tomorrow for the Os against his former team. No-hitter alert.

 

[Chuck]

lol, Bud Norris is going to start tomorrow against his recently former team.

And the Astros got Hoes...in their lineup tonight. Hoes against O's.

edit: Hoes at bat and sends the ball to where he was supposed to play, centerfield.

 

[Windu]

God awful camera angle on this ESPN Pittsburgh broadcast.

 

[Jangocube]

You clowns just got good. lulz

Don't be jealous sir.

 

[rando14]

not a single god damn move by the M's :|

 

[Sir Alemeth]

Bud Norris gonna set a career high for strike outs.

Iwakuma has been given a second chance at life.

 

[ReturnOfTheRAT]

Disappointing trade deadline. Any other movement expected from the waiver wire?

 

[RGVNOE]

Whoa 2 runs in the 1st, really surprised after the way they've been hitting for the last week

 

[jello44]

4-0 Astros.

Huh.

 

[harSon]

They finally got to Locke He's been due for a bad game considering the way he pitches. And we always go through a mini funk once the mainstream media gives us recognition....

 

[evil solrac v3.0]

Don't be jealous sir.

4-0. am not jelly.

 

[Windu]

fucking yotu. Where is my IR Bud?

 

[rando14]

imminent shutout

 

[jakncoke]

Thats awesome McKenry out for the season but really didnt trade for anything wtf

 

[HarryDemeanor]

Dude looks like Zangief.

 

[CygnusXS]

All over my face, Brian.

 

[Talon]

I love this lineup.

 

[Runus]

Braves offense looking great right now.

 

[Windu]

 

[clemenx]

Thats awesome McKenry out for the season but really didnt trade for anything wtf

What was out there worth trading for? I also doubt that losing a backup catcher is some big hit.

 

[Mr. Enigma]

Worst trade deadline ever. The second wild cards have really fucked the trade deadline up. Get rid of the waiver bullshit and just made the real trade deadline August 15 now.

 

[Steelyuhas]

Got damn this Braves offense lately

 

[jakncoke]

What was out there worth trading for? I also doubt that losing a backup catcher is some big hit.

No losing that back up catcher is awesome. Havent you been reading about me wanting him DFA'd. Also i dunno fucking anything, with our current bats this team wont do much in the playoff and the pitching staff is on pins and needles from falling apart. We've had a lot go our way.

 

[Chuck]

This is fucking embarrassing.

 

[rando14]

lol morse look like he hasnt swung a bat in years

 

[jello44]

CASTRO BOMB

 

[Jimothy]

Shoulda traded Morse.
