  1. This HP ump must be too fixated on Lackey's teeth that he's missing all these calls
  2. He hasn't started a game since 2012, fwiw. If I had to guess they are having him start in the minors as a way to better have him work on things to get straightened out. But who knows.
  3. I really like and want him too, but I'm not moving any of the top guys for him. 1 because he's a relief pitcher and owed good money and 2 because there are/should be pretty good 2nd, 3rd, and 4th options for less available. If he can't be had for 1-2 of the guys in the Jeimer, Zagunis, Happ, Caratini, McKinney, Vogelbach, etc. tier of guys I don't want him. Not that I don't think a Torres ask is out of bounds or a reasonable return, but it's just not worth using a guy like Torres to acquire a relief pitcher.
  4. And let Dusty grind his arm in to dust by throwing 120 pitches this game to get a CG
  5. Arrieta and Hammel both have higher OPS', wOBAs, and wRC+ than Ben Revere. Arrieta also has a higher BB% and a higher BA, OBP and SLG, Hammel has a higher BA and SLG and a nearly identical OBP. But CF lead off, dude.
  6. Stealing this from GRB The next 5 pitchers the Pirates face: deGrom Syndergaard Colon Arrieta Lester http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/the-pirates-lousy-weekend-might-have-sunk-their-season/
  7. What is a reasonable ask for Miller? Happ, Caratini and Jeimer?
  8. Our boys know they only have limited chances to put on a show in person to woo Harper in 2 years
  9. I watched the first ~4 innings then went golfing
  10. Apparently Cole isn't going to the DL immediately. His next start is getting skipped. His first start after his skipped start will be against us next weekend, if he can't go then they are calling Taillon up to start in his spot and putting Cole on the DL retroactively. They wouldn't say what injury(s) he is currently dealing with though.
  11. I hope Mojo remembers to wear his rally jorts if he goes to any of the games in this series
  12. 12 back, 13 in the loss column
  13. http://static0.thesportsterimages.com/cdn/864/1292/90/cw/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/Craig-Counsell.jpg
  14. At least we got this dunce to 40 pitches through 2 innings
  15. The Braves offense is shitty enough that Lester can probably get some quick innings if he gets a little sharper
  16. Lester keeps kicking the dirt in front of the rubber, I'm guessing that idiot pitching for Braves is horsefeathering that area of the mound up with his stupid delivery
  17. I've never wanted to dong a pitcher to death more than this numbskull
  18. What in the horsefeathers is this windup
  19. Have they said if they are working on anything specific with Russell since he seems to be getting quite a bit of time off recently with his struggles (seems like he's sitting about 1 game a series for the past two weeks or so)?
  20. 4-0 since you said this. Dammit Duke! Well, 2 of those wins are against the Pirates so there's value to us in some of those wins.
  21. 11 back, 12 in the loss column
  22. Is this going to be a Schwarber like thing, where they bring him up for a DH heavy part of the schedule? Do we even have one of those with the at Angels series out of the way already?
  23. Seems like quite a few sloppy plays lately
