holy f*** - thank you. Nobody wants to hear about how I believe in Care Bears and Ninja Turtles and how I live my life following their morals.

Just noticed that Daniel Hudson is having an elite season.

 

Kind of funny how he got lucky and faked being a closer for a while and was actually just an average to replacement level reliever... And now at 34 he's for real.

I just realized he threw 222 innings in 2011 with pretty good numbers.

He also won the silver slugger that year.

Bloody lucky Rays

Bloody lucky Rays

 

I was listening. Man they grind. come back against hapless Orioles in the bottom of the 9th to walk it off.

[ShowtimeBelli]

Unbelievable. Last night out of town scoreboard didn't go out way and now it's starting already tonight.

The Dodgers acquired OF Billy McKinney from the Mets in exchange for minor league OF Carlos Rincon. The Dodgers designated RHP Jake Reed for assignment to make room for McKinney on the 40-man roster.

Stroman 1 hits the Reds over 8 IP with 1 BB and 7 K. Thats an impressive outing for the little annoying f***er.

and they pulled him with 90 pitches. Bet he was heated

Well he had lost his shot at a no hitter or perfect game

Jake Reed is probably the best player out of the three.

They are rare these days that's true

[G-Snarls]

Atkins trade for Jake Reed

Not really sure what happened here.

Barry Bonds played for 22 seasons. The year he had an OPS of .999 was his 16th highest.

He got LaRussa'd!

[BigCecil]

Watching Ryan Tepera in his 2nd inning of work for Cubs. He has had a solid season in their pen for 800k. Slider looks great. Guy has hung around.

Lol outrageous. Barry is definitely the best player ever. Just insane what he was able to accomplish in the modern era

Bonds had a walk rate of %32.5 and K rate of %6.6 in about 145 games, in his 17rh season. Had a walk rate of %37.5 and K rate of %7.7 in about 145 games, in his 19th season. Will probably never see anything like that again.

[Spanky__99]

Nerd Power, lol.

[Spanky__99]

What a bad call, from this ump at such a pivotal part of the game.

[Spanky__99]

Bellinger suxxxxxxxxxxxxx

It's wild that someone who won an MVP at 23 is this bad at 25. He's 8% worse than Ryan Goins' career wRC+.

[jaysblue]

He'll bounce back next season!

[BTS]

Seems like Yermin Mercedes has possibly retired.

[Ray]

The Tigers have shifted in their rebuild cycle from horrendously bad to just bad, maybe even mediocre if they finish strong.

He needs to bounce back from being horrendous first, buddy. See BTS' post. lol

Pretty nuts. Tony LaRussa publicly shamed him for swinging 3-0 then Mercedes spiralled into ineptitude and depression before getting demoted and retiring, all within like one month, and after having a historic debut month.
