Notes:

 

MLB:

• Scott Feldman and MiLB catcher Steve Clevenger have been traded to the Baltimore Orioles for the young, troubled starter Jake Arrieta and reliever Pedro Strop and the O's international signing slots #3 & #4. This trade gives the Cubs an additional $388,100 allocated for international signings.
  
• The Cubs keep it moving as they send ex-closer Carlos Marmol (they'll also eat $2mm of the remaining $4.8mm) and the Cubs' 4th international signing slot (worth $209,700) to the Dodgers for the recently-DFA'd Matt Guerrier
  

 

Tigers:

• Doug Fister held the Angles to one run in 7 innings earning a no decision in his last start, as the Tigers lost the game in 10 innings. The last time the righty faced the Jays, he went 8 innings allowing only one run in an 11-1 blowout victory at Comerica Park. He owns a 3.19 ERA against the Jays in his career.
  
• Miguel Cabrera's 15 game hit steak that saw him bat .458 with 7 homers, came to an end when he went 0/4 against the Jays with a K against Dickey. Along with that, Prince Fielder is hitting .231 in the last 7 games (6/26), Jhonny Peralta is hitting .160 (4/25) and Torii Hunter is .059 (1/17) in the same timeframe. The bright spot for them is Omar Infante went 4/4 with a homer against Loup yesterday.
  
• The Tigers have trouble scoring runs, and their pitching isn't helping either, as they have been outscored 42-26 in the last seven games.
  

 

Jays:

• The biggest headlines for the Jays right now is the fact that their two first baseman have been hit with injuries. Encarnacion is suffering from tightness in his left hamstrings, and after being slated to start yesterday's game as a DH, he was scratched completely and replaced by Arnecibia. Before yesterday's game though, Gibbons also mentioned a sore wrist with Encarnacion. As for Lind, he's pretty banged up too, suffering from a sore back, and according to Lind he's out for "a couple days". Mark DeRosa who hit a 3 run dinger and was covering for Lind is suffering with a sore neck. AA hasn't felt that a move is necessary, although they are basically playing with a 1 man bench.
  
• Chien-Ming Wang has been inconsistent this year with the Jays. He had a 'fair' debut (compared to most of the starts by the Jays) going 7.1 innings and allowing 5 runs, which lead to a 7-5 victory for the Jays and the start of the 11 game win streak. In his next two starts (against Texas and Baltimore) he allowed one run on 13.1 innings pitched, striking out 7 along the way. In his latest start though, he got shelled, as he allowed 7 runs on 1.2 innings pitched. The 'bad' Wang has put up 9 innings of 12 run ball striking out 3 and walking 5 and the 'good' Wang has put up 13.1 quality innings of 1 run ball and striking out 7 while only walking two. Since we've gotten two start of each, it will be interesting to see what he does today against the ice-cold Tigers.
  
• According to Jon Morosi: Drabek is on rehab assignment, Hutchinson and Happ are throwing to live BP, and Morrow's out until August
  
• The Jays have a 7 game winning streak at home, and are 11-2 in the last 13 games at home. They are 23-17 at home this year so far.
  
• The Jays are 2nd in the Majors with 107 homers.

[fatcowxlive]

amazing GDT as usual. thanks!

 

Thank ya! Had a lot of time on my hands so put more notes than usual. Also for July I'll add any new trades to the new MLB section

[fatcowxlive]

Feldman not Feildman

 

No i? Goddammit lol

[fatcowxlive]

A NO MAN BENCH?! omfg

 

[Abomination]

We are seriously the walking wounded right now (or perhaps K'ing wounded).

[JaysRap]

This 8 man bullpen insanity has to end. Somebody's gotta get sent down to AAA and have Gose/Sierra/Somebody called up.

 

Fatcow - Great GDT mang. Don't change nothin!

[HASHTAGYOLOSWAG]

I hope Wang can be solid, while our offense pounds Fister.

[flafson]

 

Pretty funny if you ask me. At least we know that Dickey can hit.

Yeah, we really don't want Fister to stretch out his appearance, but we need Wang to go deep.

[Adam Drake]

Reyes batting 7th...trying to add some hitting to the bottom of the line up I suppose. Lawrie back at third should help us defensively, interested to see how he'll play.

[flafson]

I don't think they are counting on Lawrie anytime soon. They going to give him a full rehab before they activate him.

[flafson]

If what they are saying is true, JP is playing better with an aching shoulder than he is when healthy. Ill take those 2 RBI any time.

[Jimcanuck]

why isn't air miles up? buffalo is little more than an hr away ffs

[Adam Drake]

Wat

 

Oh you're looking at the stats, that not the lineup.

 

My fault dudes.. that sucks. Hope wang looks decent tonight, yes homo.

[Abomination]

Injuries piling up. Hope the make shift lineup can produce and wang can regain his earlier starts form.

 

On the plus side, Detroit has the most trouble with ground ball pitchers, and Wang is an extreme one. Some of the Tigers numbers are ridiculous. They're hitting over .300 against starters this year, but only .229 the first time through the order with a reliever.

[fatcowxlive]

I agree! Give me my Airmiles points!

[Angrioter]

awful lineup

[Dylan]

Man this lineup is even worse than yesterday.. against fister.

 

I don't expect much..prove me wrong again

[o2cui2i]

if wang is hanging mid thigh and down, he might be ok, if he is belt high it's gonna be ugly

[Sorrow]

Anyone has a stream?

[o2cui2i]

Anyone has a stream?

 

it's in the GDT info

Another sellout!

[dineke]

Why isn't Boni the DH? He's a butcher on the field god dammit.
