General Baseball Chit-Chat Thread

Tigers have been brutal. Their pitching is good (3.75ish team ERA) but they cannot hit a lick, and have just 12 team HR's in 31 games.

 

If they were league average in hitting, they'd be at least a .500 team

In non-surprising news, Josh Donaldson is a racist.

 

Called Tim Anderson "Jackie" in a derogatory manner.

 

Stay classy.

Seems like he's been doing that to make fun of Anderson ever since Anderson (I'm assuming in jest) called himself the new Jackie Robinson during a dispute with MLB a couple years ago.

 

Donaldson probably thinks that's very funny.

In today's Tribune, Donaldson said that the two of them have been joking about it for the past two years. Maybe Donaldson is a racist or maybe not. Maybe Anderson is a jerk for comparing himself to a legend or maybe not.

Here's what he wrote about it:

Wow. Wasn’t really expecting that from Kapler. Amazing.

I'm in Boston for a conference and took in my first game at Fenway. It's amazing how similar the experience was to Wrigley. It's a little more intimate than Wrigley, but not as good sightlines. I had a lot of fun.

White Sox DFA Keuchel.

 

If I read it correctly, they eat his $18.5 million for the remainder of the season unless they swing a trade or he's claimed. But it saves them to $20 million for next season since I don't believe he's vested.

Of the many things I love about baseball this recurring bit is damn near the top

Wow...

Well, this is good news for the Cubs because I don't think they would win a bidding war for him at the trade deadline this year. Mike Rizzo is in the last year of his contract so I wonder if this decision will be decided by the next GM/President, like the Mookie Betts situation when Chaim Bloom took over in Boston.

[Derwood]

Rockies have allowed 41 runs over the last 3 games.

 

They actually won one of those games (13-12)

Them giving up on Gabe Kapler after 2 seasons of squeezing out a .500 record from a pretty bad roster looks increasingly dumb as the days go by.

They didn't like Kapler because he did things based on data they didn't understand.
