  1. Verlander just completely lost it. Absolutely no command, especially when he gets to 2 strikes.
  2. OPR is a good guy: [tweet] [/tweet]
  3. So Yu Darvish?
  4. The link also lists all 25 IFAs the Cubs have signed this year. Guerra got the maximum $300k the Cubs could offer. Hits for power, above average defensively. Tried unsuccessfully to defect in 2015. http://m.mlb.com/news/article/257221358/los-cachorros-firman-al-receptor-cubano-alexander-guerra/ (Link is in Spanish)
  5. Baseball America said his curve is now average, change is below average.
  6. Adbert Alzolay made this week's AFL Hot Sheet:
  7. Adbert Alzolay, Jake Stinnett and David Bote made the AFL all-Star team (there's a cap of 3 players from each major league team).
  8. What a glorious time to be alive. I remember thinking after Chapman ended game 5. They really are going to horsefeathering do this Re-watching the game today in the office. Cleveland just made it 3-2 in the top of the 6th. I have no idea how I survived this game, let alone the later parts of Game 7.
  9. Also, today is the one year anniversary of Game 5 of the World Series.
  10. do you hate the dodgers as much as the cardinals? No, but I hate them more than every other team in baseball besides the Cardinals. Dodger fans are insufferable.
  11. Lol, everyone in my office wants Roberts fired. Don't tell Andy McCullough.
  12. At least for the sake of some semblance of pitching, the weather will be more like what you'd expect out of Dodger Stadium for Games 6 and 7.
  13. LA playoff hero Derek Fisher strikes again.
  14. Ethier learned that horsefeathers from Utley.
  15. It felt like he got to 2 strikes on every batter that inning and gave up 3 runs.
  16. Even for how crappy this Astros pen is, I figured they'd take more than 4 batters before the tying run would come to the plate.
  17. I wish Javy would imitate that Correa celebration. Puts Bautista to shame.
  18. Between his horrible injury history and Dave Roberts' Aroldising him, I want no part of Brandon Morrow in free agency.
  19. Yeesh: [tweet] [/tweet]
  20. Yeah, I agree with the idea that Ross will continue in his current role for a little while longer and whenever Maddon decides to move on/retire he'll be the perfect candidate to take over. I don't think Ross really needs any "apprenticeship" type role or experience as a coach before taking on a full-time manager role. I'm happy for D. Martinez and think he'll do a decent job. I am surprised they didn't go with Girardi or Farrell since they're available. I'm wondering if the Nats really are concerned that B. Harper wants to come to Chicago and play for J. Maddon after next season. If that's the case might as well hire a manager similar to J. Maddon and re-create the same atmosphere in that clubhouse. Given how Bud Black to the Nationals fell apart and how most in baseball didn't like the way they parted with Dusty, it seems like veteran managers with some negotiation leverage weren't interested in the job.
  21. The ages listed by Arizona Phil are as of his post, not their signing age. I'm not sure how many this affects, but I do know Luis Verdugo was 16 when he signed (signed 7/2/17, DOB 10/12/00). Florencio Serrano, their other big IFA, was 17 when he signed.
  22. Okay, Kirk Cousins.
  23. Not gonna believe any of these reports until Barney Gumble chimes in.
