Nah, the rumour according to Morisi, is they're trying to move Andrus. Yet, in this circumstance Profar or Odor make sense.

Tigers utterly imploding in the Twins game, wow.

 

And worse, they have a double-header today. Mariners might want to get comfortable in the 2nd wild card..

They can't. They have no offense and no pitching.

 

Do you even watch Mariners games? That pitching is the best in the game.. but the offense is a little lacking.

And **** Barmer is done for the day:

 

1.1 IP, 5H, 7ER, 2BB, 3Ks.

 

Send this guy back to AA where he belongs! What a comedy club of an organization Detroit is.. is it a wonder why they haven't won a World Series in their contention years?

I cannot believe how much the Red Sox of the last three years clustered all their good luck/fortune/play/voodoo into one season.

 

 

You don't know anything. Red Sox are a top 10 team.

Yeah maybe. I think you misunderstood my post though. I mean, in the last three years, instead of having three decent or pretty good seasons, they had one terrific one and two terrible ones. Clustering.

O's about to lose a series with the Cubs. Down 7-2 in the 9th.. Yankees will be 7 back, Jays 8 at end of tonight.

 

Oh, and Chris Davis made a horrible play at 3rd today.. they really need Machado like we do Lawrie.

 

As much as the O's are unlikely to collapse down the stretch.. keep in mind the Giants destroyed San Diego's 6-game lead back in 2010, and the Rays wiped out Boston's 9-game lead in 2011, and the A's wiped out the Rangers' 6 game lead in 2012.. it can be done, and is a possibility with Machado out for the season.

 

But why should we be concerned? The O's are unlikely to collapse.

And this season has been bad all around. At least the 2012 team was competitive until late July before Ortiz's injury and the team's absolute implosion, leading to the Dodgers bailout. The 2012 team may have stayed in the race had Ortiz not gotten hurt.

 

2014 has been bad all around.. and there's no guarantee the team recovers in 2015 even with Castillo, Cespedes, Craig being added and the chance they add a free agent starter. Unlike the 2012 team which had Ortiz coming back healthy in 2013, there's no guarantee Ortiz will continue to perform at a high level as he approaches 40 in 2015.. his numbers are trending the wrong way. And don't forget about Pedroia as well, who due to injuries has seen his power sapped (looking at career lows in SLG and OPS).

 

Even if they add a free agent starter this offseason, they're also going to need rebounds from Buchholz and recent acquisition Joe Kelly, and development from young starters.

No, I didn't. I was joking. Red Sox are not a top 10 team, at least not this year. They're a last place team.

Lucky (and stupid) little girl. Reminds me of that situation quite some time ago when a bird flew in front of a Randy Johnson 100mph fastball.

This kid or at least her Dad deserved to get hit by a 100MPH fastball so much more than that stupid bird.

 

 

Edit. I take this back as it turns out they were allowed on the field as part of the pre-game ceremony the kid just took the wrong route. Still a Strasburg fastball might stop her from making bad decisions in the future.

That's a bit harsh don't you think?

 

The only poor decision I see here is the Nationals allowing children on the field during warm up, obviously an accident waiting to happen.

Orioles have finally cooled off a bit but we can't win enough games to gain any ground. :(

 

:confused: People are still looking at the standings?
