What a Marlins move. Dude takes a hometown discount to go to Miami and they drop his ass after a slow (albeit very slow) start.

[HERPDERP]

Dbacks should get him. Then again, Dave Stewart.

Hometown discount? That was an overpayment as soon as he signed, everyone but the marlins knew that

Brandon McCarthy--Torn UCL, headed for Tommy John surgery, done for the season most likely.

Homer Bailey--Right elbow ligament strain, also looking headed for TJS. See above.

Thank you. I was just too tired to post the tweet. Big blow to the Dodgers' already thin rotation depth. Hope Kershaw and Grienke can pitch every day..

Sprained elbow ligament. Sprain another word for tear. Connecting dots, looks like Homer Bailey may need Tommy John.

Just because we already know that Angels fans are the worst in the league, look what HalosHeaven posted this morning (and then took down):

Adios Angels! Addict Hamilton Denies Any Relapse Responsibility

By Rev Halofan  @halosheaven on Apr 27, 2015, 5:04p 130

 

 

The enablers have assured the addict he will never have to be held accountable for his actions and so now he struts his irresponsibility as a badge.

In a telling show that he is as infantile as the day he first shoved blow up his nose at the local tit bar, Josh Hamilton used the cover of an enabling Joint Drug Agreement (JDA) between MLB and the Players Union to deny any culpability in his relapse.

 

This coddled hillbilly had no shame in explaining that his relapse into drug and alcohol use (abuse?) was not his problem. As transcribed by Alden Gonzalez for MLB.com, Josh mocked Arte's naiévété in believing Josh would put baseball first over booze, cocaine and the social nexus where these products are consumed away from society's basic strictures. On Arte he said:

 

He knew what the deal was when he signed me. Hands down. He knew what he was getting, he knew what the risks were, he knew all those things. Under the JDA, it is what it is.

 

In other words: Arte signed an addict, that is his problem, not the addict's problem. No accountability. No taking responsibility. No apologies. And so no accountability for his personal negligence. Just embracing the enablers, mocking the man who had faith in him.

 

Josh, when you finally die of a drug related matter it won't be Arte Moreno's fault. It won't be the fault of the good fans in Anaheim who figured out your little game. They might have Donnie Moore's karma on them but they won't have yours. As much as I would like to say the blame for your future fate lies with the enabling national media and coddling players union, I think of Steve Howe's face crushed against his truck's windshield on a lonely interstate highway with crystal meth in his bloodstream and I know that all the blame will be on you, all of it, as it was with Howe. I can only hope that when you do yourself in, which you will, that, mercifully like Howe, you take nobody else with you.

 

Good bye Josh, today is the first day of the rest of your life and you used it to announce to the world that nothing will ever be your fault. Happy snorting.

Faaawwwk.... He was helping my weak pitching Fantasy Team. Time to go scrub hunting.

It's time that pitchers start wearing some kind of head protection... seen enough of this s*** in the last few years.

[LTR]

They can if they want. See Alex Torres.

 

Good for him. More need to follow-suit. Though I like something like this more (it's for soccer), more protection, looks cooler too:

MLB needs protection, and Boxy supports this idea

Kershaw vs. Posey and Bumgarner

 

Kershaw 0

Posey 2

[Angrioter]

The hat Torres has been wearing as a Met looks a lot better than the one he used in past years. It looks like a donut of padding placed on top of a regular cap. The brim is natural because of the regular cap base. More guys should start wearing them.

 

Torres today:

IP, 3 K's

Silly hats are the new market inefficiency.

Looks like Jesusy Josh is a total scumbag who plays heavily on the religious angle so no one sees it.
