Mark Reynolds got dfa. How bout him as the platoon partner with Lind at dh. Hes got muuuuuch better numbers over his career vs lefties than rightes. 840 ops vs lefties and in the 700s vs righties.

I thought this was an excellent read, Eno Sarris has already done a few of these player interviews.

Never mind, I saw it was posted already, I'm f***ing dumn.

I'll pass on Reynolds. Rasmus and JPA already provide us with enough Ks.

Abomination · August 10, 2013

Rivera just coughed up another lead. Back to back blown saves.

Angrioter · August 10, 2013

Royals win again! Great comeback for them against the Red Sox to win 9-6. Greg Holland has some slider.

Holland is another 500K dollars ace reliever lol

What a comeback by the Dodgers over the Rays last night. As soon as Price came out, the game was over.

Brian Duensing was the winning pitcher in both games of the Twins doubleheader today. When was the last time someone won two games in a day?

Cool story, no really, cool story

Jays · August 10, 2013

Rays get out of a tough inning with an Evan Longoria hidden ball trick.

GD · August 10, 2013

Love the hidden ball trick.

Matt Davidson called up by the DBacks.

Our boy Alvarez: 6IP 7H 4ER 1BB 4K and he hit a 2 RBI double to raise his OPS to .833

GD · August 11, 2013

Pretty meh outing for Alvarez tbh.

Pretty meh outing for Alvarez tbh.

JJ and Dickey have had an entire season of meh starts.

GD · August 12, 2013

Of course the one day I'm at someone else's place. Keep me updated guys.

GD · August 12, 2013

lol, GD doesn't get out much

Why would I? Much more comfy in my mom's basement

Fearthedoc · August 12, 2013

Damn. There goes the perfect game. Villar draws a walk.

TRM · August 12, 2013

Stingy call on that 2-2 count. Still, if Darvish gets three more K's, he will get an 100 pitching game score, which would be a top 10 performance of all time.

TRM · August 12, 2013

Kkkkkkkkkkkkk

TRM · August 12, 2013

14 Ks now

TRM · August 12, 2013

HR now. Fun time over.

GD · August 12, 2013

Damn.

Michael Kay is ripping the Angels a new one in the Yankees broadcast--if you think the Jays are bad, the Angels are in even worse shape! And it's going to get worse--Trumbo and Trout are approaching arbitration---Trout could easily crack $10M in arbitration(and that might be pessimistic--it may be even more):

http://msn.foxsports.com/mlb/story/mike-trout-signing-long-term-will-be-troublesome-for-los-angeles-angels-081113

Angels screwed themselves over by signing Hamilton and Pujols to long-term deals.

And it won't get better in 2014--Trumbo is arb eligible, several arb raises and they're still paying the Yankees to have Vernon Wells sit on the Yankees bench and hit .241.

They also lack pitching after Weaver and Wilson--their farm is seriously lacking, Blanton and Hanson are awful.

Doc scheduled to make rehab start.

The Blue Jays still suck.

Which situation would you rather inherit?

The Angels, with all of those terrible bloated contracts but also Mike fcking Fish,

Or the Blue Jays, without nearly as much crippling financial commitment, and a better farm system, but also no Mike Fish or anything that could even sniff his musk.

A guy who gets the girls wet with his looks, and his talent is instant boner-inducing? Mike Trout any day please.

digiblader · August 13, 2013

Mike Trout is going to want to go to the Yankees, Red Sox, Phillies or Dodgers(or some other contender) at the rate the Angels are likely to be playing--with an inflated payroll and little hope for the future, no chance he stays long term.
