Around Baseball 2018

Yeah I'd have a hard time putting a 40 hit tool on a hitter as good as Upton

[Bobthe4th]

 

Bring him home! /s

[Abomination]

Bring him home! /s

This is not something to joke about.

Good thing for Zeke independent ball season is starting tomorrow

[Jimcanuck]

Zeke would be a good character guy for the clubhouse. Like Vizquel and what's his name for a few seasons?

Mark DeRosa?

Marlins averaging 10,667 fans per game

 

The fewest in the majors by far. Rays are averaging 4000 more per game

[AledmysDiaz]

10,667 is a lot of fans for a Yankees minor league affliate

[Boxcar]

 

Yeah, after trading all of their good players away, who could have forseen this result in a city that has traditionally not shown the team much support in better times?

[Laika]

ryan: does justin upton have a 50 hit tool?

Eric A Longenhagen: 40

 

Justin Upton has a 40 hit tool?

 

lmao, so out of touch

 

just by AVG he's 208 out of 613 qualified hitters since he entered the league, which is like 66th percentile so that's a firm 55, fringe 60

 

and of course he's 69/613 in overall hitting, wRC+, since he came into the league

 

I guess Evan Longoria is also a 40 hitter

[G-Snarls]

Yeah

Zero surprise from me

I'm almost surprised it's not worse

[Bobthe4th]

 

"On April 30, the team drew just 5,415 people."

 

That should be grounds for an automatic relocation, haha.

[Bobthe4th]

Yeah

Zero surprise from me

I'm almost surprised it's not worse

 

It's tickets sold, not people actually in the ballpark, so it probably is worse.

Pirates 19 year old SS prospect Ji Hwan Bae returned to South Korea for questioning regarding domestic abuse allegations from his girlfriend

[TheHurl]

Rays are starting Romo tomorrow to face the Angels heavy right handed lineup for the first inning or two (Angels only have 3 left handed bats on the team and none are everyday starters). Then Yarborough will come in. I'd love to know their reasoning for it but it's entertaining.

That's, that's actually really useful to know if there's a DraftKings Showdown tomorrow for that game.

[Jimcanuck]

Mark DeRosa?

 

yep that one

[jaysfan2014]

Rays are beating up the Angels--Tropeano sucks. And once again, it's taxing the Angels bullpen.

 

Not noted--Michael Hermosillo got called up due to Upton's injury.

 

Like the Jays, the Angels are getting exposed..

[Jimcanuck]

Don't get why Gardenhire trusted that s***** bullpen over Fulmer who was at < 90 pitches.

[Spanky99]

Holy crap the weather today, same thing tomorrow!

Looks like most of them will likely play, although the BOS one might be iffy.

Yup, and one of the Nats/Dodgers could be PPD. Wouldn't mind if that Bosox game gets PPD... helps in the survivor pool.

Do the Dodgers have a spot for him. Stripling with a 3rd straight stellar start Damn and I had him on the bench, didn't trust him against the Nats.

Well, Rich Hill threw 2 pitches tonight and Santana is on the 40 man and his turn would come up in Hill's next start.

 

Santana just struck out the first guy in the 6th. 10K's, 0BBs, 5.1 innings

Are you still offering him to me, he might be an upgrade on my 6th starter Kuhl.

 

I'm happy with Snell, Reyes, Folty, Mahle, and Chatwood.
