Why would we release him? That seems stupid, he was doing just fine playing in Buffalo.

 

Strange move. He's one of our better minor league filler guys.

There might be a chance he asked to be dfa if he thought a team would pick him up for a month in the majors instead of going home

ICYMI:

 

The Astros claimed Eric Thames off waivers from the Orioles

 

Good stuff. Will they call him up to play everyday?

Re Ruiz @ MLBTR:

 

By Steve Adams [september 6 at 10:58am CST]

 

Catching figures to be a major priority for the Phillies this season with Carlos Ruiz eligible for free agency and top catching prospect Tommy Joseph having endured a lost season as a result of concussion issues. However, Jim Salisbury of CSNPhilly.com provides an in-depth look at the Phils' catching depth beyond Joseph, noting that Cameron Rupp has already reached the Majors. Phillies director of player development Joe Jordan tells Salisbury that he's also very excited about 2013 second-rounder Andrew Knapp, and a rival scout familiar with the Phillies' system was particularly enthusiastic about Dominican prospect Deivi Grullon. Here's more on Ruiz and the Phillies...

 

Ruiz would like to return to Philadelphia, writes Salisbury in a separate piece, and the organization has taken note of his recent surge at the plate, with GM Ruben Amaro Jr. stating that Ruiz looks far more relaxed. Pitching coach Rich Dubee, who knows Ruiz quite well, feels that Ruiz is best limited to 100 games behind the plate at this point in his career, however.

Ned Yost was clearly against KC picking up Shields.

If I have to face you in playoffs next week, I will be more than happy if that abnormality happens again:)

Its weird listening to the Boston crew discuss things like WAR and DRS when we have Buck Martinez and f***ing Jeck Morris.

 

Don't worry, Sportsnet has brought in Jesse Litsch to smarten up the broadcast.

 

I like Morris though. Really hoping they cut ties with Tabby and put Morris on TV next year. I can stand Buck and Jack.

Although I would make that hope contingent on them bringing in someone for radio, because I can't stand the idea of Wilner sliding into an even bigger radio role.

 

p.s., this is the Fox crew, not the regular NESN Boston crew. Although Dan Orsillo and Jery Remy are fairly excellent.

I've actually like Morris alot more this year than I was expecting. He may be a dinosaur but at least he sounds like an intelligent human being. Buck and Tabby are f***ing awful though. Bottom 5 announcing team league wide for sure.

I can't say I've listened to more than a few hours of Morris, but he's been Sutcliffe/Morgan bad to me. Stuff like saying Buehrle's recent ERA is so low because he's had no run support and is pitching to the score.

That's the kind of stuff I expected from Morris, but haven't heard much of it.

He's pretty good man. Not a genius or anything, but compared to his colleagues he actually seems fairly cerebral, even if he's still waist deep in a lot of old school baseball BS.

 

And he's got a solid voice, which you can't really say for Buck or Tabby. Not sure how they even got into broadcasting in the first place... oh yeah, it's an old boy's club.

They need to pair Morris up with a sabermetric guy. The contrast between the two should appeal to people on both ends

 

Hayhurst? He tries, at least.

Yup, and I want to dislike Morris even more because of this stupid HOF push but he's really been a pretty good announcer. He's old school but not really obnoxious about it.

For once I envy Cubs fans; their announcers are great. They just spent a whole half inning discussing the WAR leaders and Trout vs. Cabrera.
