Should we riot? Everybody in their respective city let's do it

I'm pretty sure he beat us last year

Pretty sure you're wrong.

...He's only thrown 46.0 IP in the MLB.

He started against the Jays in the Minnesota series back in May. 6IP 3H 2ER 3BB 5K

That means for sure he will shut us down.

Travis again is out with his injury. I bet they will say again tonight that they hope he will play tomorrow.

 

At this point, just put him on the DL and backdate him...

 

It's not the first time an injury not considered serious turned out to be

This whole players sitting out because of nagging injuries is becoming a culture on this team. Any other sport they'd be shamed by their teamates, suck it up and get their f'ing ass out there. It isn't April anymore.

This isn't football or hockey. Hitting a 95 mph fastball is a pretty precise equation. Even a slight injury can make it next to impossible.

Quality start.

Just lost to arguably the worst right handed pitcher yesterday.

This f***ing team...

Apparently Travis said he is good to go....so it's "I need another hamburger" Gibby choosing to keep him out.

True, but where have all the Lou Gehrigs and Cal Ripkens gone?

[CBlake]

Attendance = tickets sold, not the actual turnstile crowd

 

Is the National League still turnstile or did they align with the AL?

[Terminator]

Good point but I'm not even sure putting out iron men like that is a good idea. Teams are becoming more careful in managing their player's health, as they should.

Bisons just announced that Dom Brown, in the starting lineup, is scratched. Do with that info what you will.

 

If Dom Brown gets called up before Pompey then lol.

He's getting traded!

 

Unless Saunders is getting DL'd no other explanation

He has a "sore knuckle" .... please .....

[BTS]

So Ezequiel Carrera f***ing sucks. Down to a 79 wRC+ and ~0.3 fWAR after tonight's game. We were all right when we bitched about his inclusion on the roster!

 

While we're on the topic, minus whale laugh at fangraphs:

f*** Pompey. I was so pumped for him and he has been s*** lately.

League average hitter in AAA with questionable defense. He's close to bust territory.

You can't really call him a bust he was a 16th round pick. His sulking really hasn't helped him. Having his little brother tweet his frustration is kind of a lame move. He deserved to be called over several guys but clearly Atkins and Shapiro had a plan for him and he's disappointed.

[Stangstag]

Wow those Pompey gifs are painful to watch. I didn't realize he was having such a hard time in AAA

[STLJaysFan]

He's going to join the team on Monday so probably a reliever will get sent down.
