Not that Brach didn’t deserve to get ignominiously horsefeathers canned, he did, but I’m vaguely upset that he gets blasted into the sun before the most ignoble of terrible players, the one begging for release, figuratively and literally, Daniel DeScalso. The beauty of this roster is there are just...

I assume this will be the thread that makes it. The tweet in the other one said he isn't missing many bats, which I don't know if I'd agree with given his 9.35 K/9 rate (slightly above league average for relievers). 2 home runs in 17 innings, and a low GB rate doesn't seem great. I would say that h...

Phelps on the other hand is a guy I wanted a few years ago. Stuff seems to be playing well returning from TJS.

He has 5.4% swinging strike rate. I'm not even sure who he's an upgrade over.

Why? He’s been awesome this year as he has been for most of his career.

TIL Karl Ravech is not only alive but pretending he has sources.

I'm so glad I didn't publicly document my KB doom boner like all you idiots in here.

this is a guy who thinks he's done nothing wrong “It’s been really, really nice to ‘fast’ in the social media world, I guess,” he said. “And I guess now’s a better time than ever for me to do that.” “The thing is about being a millennial, we’re kind of drawn into the new-age stuff,” he said. “Maybe...

Halloween is a giant parade of horsefeathers in every office but it's worse when you work for a startup, go into the office like 2 times a month and everyone that isn't in management is between 22 and 25 years old. Any adult that wears a costume should be sent to Gitmo.

His name is Whit Merrifield, the tweets that everyone should be concerned about are the ones they haven't found yet.

Open to trading KB? What the actual horsefeathers is happening

Nothing. Theo has always said nobody is untouchable and this is fake news. Someone should take Olney's Wrigley hard pass away.

ESPN has turned into that Sports Mockery site. 100% clickbait [expletive].

Hamels is solid, and with his contract the prospect cost should be minimal. I feel pretty comfortable hand waving away spikes in dongs allowed if they're not due to velocity loss. He's a rental. I would venture to guess there's no chance he gets to 200 IP this season to vest his option. he needs to...

I'm all in on Hamels' home/road splits. Texas is basically Coors but without the fanfare.

Drop Bryant
Add Betts

We got a second dog! She’s an 8 month old Akita mix named Sylvie who is super sweet and playful. Maggie loves to provoke her and wrestle. Sylvie is bigger and puts her in her place. I’ll post some photos tomorrow EDIT: she doesnt look much like an Akita. She looks like the quizzical dog meme (more ...

It's clearly a precursor to a deGrom move you jerks

Yeah but it's like a decade worth of control. Hand has all of this year and then 19, 20 and 21. Cimber has been really impressive and he's got less than a year of service time.

Just hope he doesn't sign a long term deal with LA in offseason He doesn't really fit there when they're healthy. Machado isn't a good SS and Seager is, so Machado would have to acquiesce to playing 3B full time. They'd also have to move Turner to 1B and Bellinger to their crowded OF. I guess you c...

Really sucks that there is also a Schwarber homophobic tweet going around. It is not a bad as what Hader said at all, more along the lines of using the term to mean something is bad, but horsefeathers nonetheless Sucks for sure but yeah that's not even in the same stratosphere as what Hader said. I...

MLB is making him take sensitivity training per ESPN. Probably the only thing they can do at this point. Hader’s said all the right things since this hit the news. If he’s smart or has smart people around him, he’ll do the sensitivity training with a smile on his face, come out saying that he learn...

Unreal how stupid he is, but racist homophobic misogynistic people tend to lean very stupid.

I don't agree with this at all. Any season-ending arm injury to a pitching arm is damning enough, with or without surgery, but then his performance when on the field was decidedly meh. It was only 8 starts, but he was striking out 2 guys less per 9 than last year in AA, while still throwing loads o...
