Around Baseball 2018

Whats the record for most 90 losses team in an MLB season. I bet we can surpass that record easily this year.

 

There are so many bad teams in baseball this season. Like, an abnormal amount of bad teams. In the AL alone you have Baltimore, Tampa, Detroit, Chicago, KC, Oakland, and Texas. Half the damn AL is going to suck. Not very fun. The Twins will make the playoffs despite being mediocre as hell most likely.

This should go in the Marcus Stroman DBag thread.

You may be right

 

List the teams you think will lose 90+

...and as such there may very well be a record for most 90+ win teams also.

Actually, Oakland might have a better chance of getting above .500 unlike the rest--they do have some good starters in the rotation in Triggs, Manaea and Mendgen, and the bullpen hasn't been too bad (only big hole is Chris Hatcher). And that offense is pretty strong--Chapman is an early MVP candidate(1.5 WAR), hitting well and playing a very good 3B. Only real holes are CF and the #4-5 spots in the rotation in Graveman(9.87 ERA) and Gossett(who's been sent to AAA). Hopefully Cahill might be able to stabilize that rotation.

 

Texas is a dumpster fire getting clobbered by injuries. It's 2014 all over again.. can't hit or pitch, missing Odor and Andrus, and DeShields.. and Drew Robinson has been one of the worst players on the Rangers. And Joey Gallo has been like JP Arencibia with the bat.. high power and no ability to walk so far this year.

Has anyone noticed Bryce Harper's OF defense for some mysterious reason, has fallen off a cliff this season? I know it's a small sample size--but something is off with him. Maybe it partially explains why the Nats are under .500--along with a crappy bullpen and backend of the rotation.

 

Sure, Bryce Harper is hitting a ton and walking a lot.. but what happened to his glove?

Corey Dickerson is leading baseball in UZR and it's not close. It's the small sample size. Pretty sure Bryce Harper's defense isn't the reason why the Nats aren't winning as many games lmao.

Nooooooooo...

 

An MRI taken Tuesday on Taijuan Walker's right elbow showed damage in his ulnar collateral ligament.

 

Advice: This sort of diagnosis often leads to Tommy John reconstructive elbow surgery, but Walker will go for a second opinion Wednesday in New York before any decisions are made. The former top Mariners prospect had a breakout year with the Diamondbacks in 2017, registering a 3.49 ERA and 146 strikeouts across 157 1/3 innings. He was sporting a 3.46 ERA through three starts this season.

Is there a way to mute adds on MLB.TV?

 

I feel like if i hear 0.5 percent one more time i'll throw my laptop out the window.

He's making half of my starts this week...wasn't bad last night though

Did you watch the game? He got pretty unlucky, Matt Adams was playing LF and it was a bit of a shitshow. some doubles that really should have been fly outs.

Nah I didn't but from the live scoring it seemed like he pitched from ahead for most of the start, which is a good sign.

Yanks have drawn 7 walks against Jarlin Garcia and the bullpen for Miami--and they're LOSING! Can't hit with RISP.. 0-8! Wasn't this Yanks team supposed to be elite? Because they've hardly acted like it..

They need a Goins type

[jaysfan2014]

 

Yes, it's a small sample size--but for all the money they spent, the pressure on the Yankees is really high to win now.. and there are some problems on the team--beyond Severino, Tanaka/Gray/Montgomery are struggling, the bullpen's just lost Kahnle for an undetermined time, and they're still waiting for Sabathia to return. Drury's still out, and Andujar has shown he needs more AAA time.. and Sanchez, Walker and Stanton are struggling to hit for average or get on base. Judge, Gardner, Austin and Gregorius are basically leading the team right now while they wait for others to wake up..

[jaysfan2014]

Oh and to add--Luis Cessa, called up to replace an injured Tommy Kahnle, may be DL bound himself.. just left tonight's game with an injury failing to record an out in his 3rd inning of work mopping up an ineffective Tanaka..

Tanaka stunk from the opening pitch

[5ToolPhenom]

That was ugly! Not a good look getting the crap kicked out of you at home in Yankee Stadium by the Marlins lol

[5ToolPhenom]

Man, I had no idea that Moises Sierra was still kicking around in the majors. He was in the starting lineup today for the Nats. Went 2-4 with a stolen base lol

More like he's facing a great offence. He caught a bad break with Sunday's game being rained out as surely he would have carved up the Royals, but instead has to face Boston.
