Around Baseball 2014

Cincy is s***ing the bed too. Two teams that were supposed to compete...

[G-Snarls]

So the 4-12 Diamondbacks are losing 9-0 tonight. I hate to declare a team's season over after two weeks but they're already 6.5 games back of the Dodgers...

 

Gibby no longer the manager likely to be fired first...

[eastcoastjaysfan]

Arizona's roster is terrible. They need to clean house.

 

How much would you give up for Goldschmidt? Niceee contract.

[G-Snarls]

Get Cliff Pennington?

 

Presume we can't get Aaron Hil back?

[NorthOf49]

That's Kirk Gibson's nickname too lol

[G-Snarls]

That's Kirk Gibson's nickname too lol

 

LOL. Hadn't though of that!

Where's the Red Sox offense? They're making White Sox pitching look good.. 1-1 in the 9th.

Sources: Padres worried Josh Johnson needs Tommy John surgery. Would be 22nd known case in Year of Tommy John.

[eastcoastjaysfan]

Thank the f***ing lord we didn't tender Johnson a QO.

 

Guy is a piece of glass. Don't care what the advanced metrics said about his year last year. He's never going to be durable. Not worth the risk.

Does Dr. James Andrews perform any/most/all of the surgeries? That must be one rich man.

[jaysfan2014]

Terrible news for the Padres.

 

On the injury front, more bad news for the Red Sox, as Napoli left the game dislocating his ring finger. If it's a fracture, he'll end up on the DL, making Carp/Nava the everyday 1B, forcing them to call someone from the minors.. and none of the options are terribly enticing.

[G-Snarls]

Holy s*** injuries. Damn

[G-Snarls]

Random Padres fan on Twitter:

 

[ElNik2013]

Happ could be a good fit for the Padres, Happ for the camo unis?

[G-Snarls]

1 year 8 million was a good gamble, but it didn't work out.

 

Yeah I wanted him at 1 year 8-10M. But we'd be pissed right now if he was here.

[ElNik2013]

1 year 8 million was a good gamble, but it didn't work out.

 

 

 

They also have a vesting option that kicks in if he makes fewer than 7 starts in 2014. I don't remember how much it's for.

 

This does tell you how bad the market was for him.

[jays4life19]

White sox beat Boston...hells yes

[ElNik2013]

Yeah I wanted him at 1 year 8-10M. But we'd be pissed right now if he was here.

 

 

He wouldn't have signed with the Jays at that price...or at any price for that matter. Let's just praise the Greek for not resigning him and hope they based the decision on his medicals.

Since the function has been disabled, I will say it out-loud. Thank you.

Angels bullpen doing their thing lol

[havok24]

How do you even celebrate that walk off? Like who do you mob? Do you just go after and mob the guy who made the error and such? lol.

[Abomination]

They probably should have claimed Jeffress. He might actually be an improvement for them.

[havok24]

Wow the Angels bullpen is something else lol.

[BluejayEd]

Wow the Angels bullpen is something else lol.

 

Reminds me of the Rauch era followed be the suck of Coco.

[Angrioter]

Gorgie Springer call up

[Spoonovic]

Is Springer worth picking up in Fantasy?

[Atothe]

Is Springer worth picking up in Fantasy?

 

Yes hurry

[havok24]

Fish just homered to tie the game.

[S33n]

Brandon Belt with a huge 1 out double in the bottom of the 9th to the tie the game 2-2 vs LAD. Angel Pagan scores all the way from first.
