STL will gladly take Trout

Trout needs to come back home.

 

[RGVNOE]

Why go home when he can go to baseball heaven. You can have Harper though

Yankee Stadium is baseball heaven.

 

[CygnusXS]

Lincecum really should have taken the big contract when he had the chance.

 

[rando14]

Brian Sabean dodged a bullet with that one.

 

[Mr. Enigma]

Brian Sabean dodged a bullet with that one.

Yeah, no shit. They offered him practically the same deal they offered Cain. 5 years, $100 million. They would have been stuck with him through 2016 at $20 million/year if he had taken that.

 

[rando14]

come back home to seattle, timmy, we'll give you 2 years/10 million and you will be an upgrade over our shit end of the rotation

 

[Little Green Yoda]

Yeah, no shit. They offered him practically the same deal they offered Cain. 5 years, $100 million. They would have been stuck with him through 2016 at $20 million/year if he had taken that.

"Sometimes it's better to be lucky than good"

I imagine that thought crosses John Mozeliak's mind each time he hears about Pujols struggling in Anahiem.

 

[Malo]

almost like remembering wen the mest were good.

I don't remember that at all.

Speaking of pitching, the Braves have Maholm pitching well in rehab. Freddi talked about a 6 man rotation when Maholm returns and giving extra rest to each pitcher.
From a commenter:

6 man rotation would probably be more beneficial to the rotation in the "long haul " (rest of the season).
Wood - Rookie - 50+ innings pitched this year
Beachy - Tommy John/off a year - still working his way back
Teheran - basically still a rookie - Top 30 in the NL for innings pitched, 149
Meds - first year as a full time starter - also around 150 innings pitched

adding a 6th man would take some of the strain off the rookies and give them a bit more rest. And like has already been said, have him make a few more starts in the minors just to improve on his stuff and make sure he feels 100%, call him back Sept 1 (which is only a week from this coming Sunday) and no one has to be moved to clear a spot.

and against:

We MUST get out of the big lead in the division mentality when making these decisions. The division is won but the dodgers and pirates are right on our heels for best record. We must adopt a playoff mentality NOW and win every game we can...or else play the dodgers in a game 7 in Los Angeles. Maholm was getting knocked around before he was injured over several starts. We have a good rotation now, if it's not broken, don't fix it.

I lean toward the 6 man rotation with Maholm coming back on the 1st when the rosters expand.
I think Maholm will do well after this rest he's had.

Arod and Soriano will lead us to the promised land.

 

[evil solrac v3.0]

Sony had their gamescom conference.

 

[Dominican Power]

Eat it Blow Jays.

 

[CygnusXS]

Francoeur DFA'd.

Mike Minor's next start will be skipped and Paul Maholm will start instead.

Justin Upton scratched with a back muscle strain. BJ still not in the lineup.

 

[HarryDemeanor]

Puig fined and not in tonight's lineup due to showing up late to Marlins Park.

We'll see how that goes.

 

[DUFFMCWALIN]

Cano on your fantasy team is a good feeling today.

 

[Dominican Power]

smh @ Gaf.

 

[HarryDemeanor]

Servers dying after a pretty meh Sony conference.

Dat Indie game lineup though. Between the Vita, Ps3, and Ps4 I don't need to buy them on steam anymore (unless I want to double dip).

The lineup was great but nothing that's making me rush out to buy a PS4 day one. I'll wait for The Show to buy one.

8 pitch inning. It's almost like Puig went to bat four times straight.

 

[CygnusXS]

Wheeler sure does live on that fastball.

 

[The Frankman]

That was Beltran for Wheeler, Caray you idiot.

Wheeler sure does live on that fastball.

1st time through the order he does that, occasionally mixing a curve. He does throw a few more changeup 2nd time through, nut it's pretty much 65% fastballs.

 

[HarryDemeanor]

Crapuano has showed up tonight I see.

Seems to be working for him.

 

[The Frankman]

That was a weird exchange with EYJr. and Freeman.

LET'S WATCH TERRY NOT PUT ON A HIT AND RUN HERE!!!!

 

[brianjones]

fucking doyers

 

[HarryDemeanor]

God dammit.

 

[Square Triangle]

Any MLB-GAF getting a PS4? I'm still waiting until inFamous comes out, that'll be around the time MLB The Show hits too. It might be the first one with a solid online!

Right here. However I doubt I'll get it the first 3 months of launch.

 

[Dominican Power]

I like to let consoles marinate.

 

[CygnusXS]

Thinking about getting a PS4, but I can hear my partner complaining about wasted time and money already and I don't know if I care enough.

We're getting hits. Just can't drive anyone home.

 

[3N16MA]

GAF is alive again. Sony killed it all afternoon.

 

[HarryDemeanor]

Wow what the hell was that. Should've been a catchable ball.

 

[3N16MA]

Robbie going on one of his streaks.

 

[HarryDemeanor]

We look absolutely terrible now. What happened?
