Jeremy Guthrie top-5 CY candidate

[digiblader]

Looks like it--looks like he'll be 5-0, providing the bullpen doesn't blow it. Good news for our Jays.

Matt Kemp...almost naked but all class (sorry if this was posted already I just saw it today). Even best is that he had no clue it was being filmed

Wil Myers left the Durham game in the 2nd...

 

but it's just an upset stomach

A gentleman.

That retarded kid will be happy for so long.

[TheHurl]

wow, the umpires in the Astros game just let the Astros change their pitcher without him facing a batter...this is probably the worst thing an ump has done this week in a week of f*** ups.

Angel Hernandez?

Snider's not looking so hot w/ PP anymore... ..725 OPS vs. pretty much only righties. As of now I'm not sure who got the tail-end of the deal...

Probably a lose-lose.

Classy move Matt Kemp.

You mean giving that kid the equipment? Enjoyed that, really nice thing to do.

I like that team too:

 

@JonHeymanCBS: not only do #STLCards have best record (21-12) but they're baseball best 14-7 on road. yes, played 9 more games on road

[digiblader]

Well deserved. Now if only they could get a regular SS and get Oscar Taveras in their OF(he's having a good year in AAA BTW) instead of Jon Jay, this team would be even better. Not going after Pujols after the 2011 offseason is looking smarter and smarter.

 

Meanwhile the Angels, with Pujols and Hamilton, are 12-22, with no relief in sight.

[Captain Adama]

Wow raysjays praising another team? The end of days is near!

Travis Snider @ the Fan Cave:

 

@Lunchboxhero45: Absolute Blast at the @MLBFanCave shooting the "Top MLB Fan Cave Take Out".. Thanks for the hospitality and great eats! Video out next week!

[digiblader]

Yankees finally doing something right--converting Dellin Betances into a reliever. Long overdue--he's not cut out to be a starter, plus if his control improves, he could be a future closer for the Yankees, who need one after Mariano Rivera retires. A needed move too--he's out of options after this season, and the Yankees need to figure if he fits in the bullpen, or he'll be DFAed.

[G-Snarls]

I'd love to see the Cardinals beats the Nationals in the playoffs this year

[GD]

Remember when the "Killer Bs" Brackman, Betances and Banuelos were going to rule the division for the next decade? Makes you feel a bit better about the guys who haven't worked out for the Jays.

 

Hahahaha, I remember Andrew Brackman. Wow, poor guy, busted like hell.

Oswalt has a chance to make almost $5M with the Rockies this year if he reaches 18 starts and 110 innings.

Why the f*** did we not sign him?

 

Oh, right, a high ERA. UGH.

[GD]

Ortiz is a much better option

 

reported.

Looks like Chris Carpenter might pitch again this year after all. Threw 70 pitches today with no numbness.

Does anything go badly for this team, ever?

[digiblader]

They did lose Jason Motte, Rafael Furcal and any effectiveness of Mitchell Boggs and Mark Rzcepzynski. Good thing for a deep farm..

I find it interesting that everyone wishes we hadn't cut Carp, yet many people want us to give up on McGowan. There's some arms you just quit on unless there's a gun to your head.

I try.

People act like it's such a huge fail of a contract extension, but 1MM really doesn't get you that much, certainly not an MLB player. It's a fine risk to take.

When will the Twins move Sano up to AA? His stats are ridiculous in A+.

 

.391/.470/.748 with a .528 wOBA and 233 wRC+. Has hit 10 HR in 115 AB.

 

Sano will take 200 At-Bats in A-ball, then the Twins will send him to AA-ball

[TheHurl]

Billy Hamilton and Gose each with a Home Run in Louisville tonight ... power show

[TheHurl]

Cobb has struck out 9 through 3 innings. He's also given up 3 runs and thrown 74 pitches

Greinke making first rehab start in minors. I thought he was going to be gone for atleast a couple months. Lucky them.
