Pretty Good Deal For the Cards in my eyes.

There's a huge difference for a young player going to a great org. player development wise and a bad one. Rockies are one of the worst in that are and it would seem the Blue Jays are now one of the better ones.

 

Its not just always the player's fault on how good his career is. Proper coaching is hugeeeeee

 

How are the Jays one of the better ones? We haven't developed anyone significant...

Stroman, Sanchez, Osuna, Cecil, Travis, Syndergaard, d'Arnaud, Pillar. Surely you jest?

[BlueJays]

And the Jays traded this guy for a f***ing RA Dickey

I don't think he even threw a slider with us. He just started throwing it last year

He started throwing a slider in 2012.

Okay, so I definitely forgot that Rick Porcello won the Cy Young last year.

Edinson Volquez outduels Strasburg on opening day. Baseball.

I still don't regret benching him.

Have you not seen the changes Shapiro has made in that regard? Hired a team of over 20 employees for the high performance dept. The Dunedin proposal...

Bullpen'd tho

 

Probably a win for Stras. Interesting to see how Washington uses the bullpen pieces.

[Captain Adama]

Harper with another opening day HR.

 

Basically every single opening day he's played in, he hits a HR.

Why is Gsellman on in the 9th of a 6-0 game?

People on twitter are asking the same thing.

[Laika]

Why is Gsellman on in the 9th of a 6-0 game?

 

Maybe they don't need a 5th SP until like, the 12th or something?

The Padres pitching staff performing to expectations.

If they were smart they'd claim Bolsinger. He's better than their Opening Day starter. Same with the Reds.

Now they have Bethancourt pitching ... what could possibly go wrong?

Can you imagine watching Scott Feldman make your team's opening day start? Shameful.

[Krylian]

 

Remember when the problem was Syndergaard was that he was FB only. His second best pitch was a curve that was low-70s?

 

The good old days...

[Krylian]

Can you imagine watching Scott Feldman make your team's opening day start? Shameful.

 

And with the 1st pick in the 2018 MLB Draft the Cincinnati Reds are pleased to select...

lol holy f*** I don't know how I missed that.

In his MLB pitching debut, Christian Bethancourt walks Adrian Gonzalez, throwing two run-scoring wild pitches.

He's pitched in the MLB before. Pretty bad start. But the velo is there.

Sano hit a damn missile

Season's pretty much over in San Diego already--Dodgers up 12-1 on the Padres! Seager and Pederson are padding their stats.. especially when the Padres have no decent pitching.

[TheHurl]

KC"s pen has walked in two already.

[jaysfan2014]

And now Castro and Polanco are blowing the game wide open--7-1 Twins now. Royals pen is trash... long drop from the once-mighty bullpen that used to get KC to the World Series..

[jaysfan2014]

Holy, Carlos Gomez just hit that pitch to Dallas!

[jaysfan2014]

Can someone go beat up Odor? 2 HRs and 4 RBIs tonight--Kluber is not sharp--of course, what do you expect when the Indians ran him to the ground in the World Series last year?
