MLB Daily Thread: 06-08-17: CC dominates the Red Sox & Smoak is on rise

[Fountain City Blues]

This is their last season with a legit shot

Thier farm system stinks, at some point I have to think they will need to slow down the spending, and some core players are showing their age

Dombrowski? Slow down spending? Nah, they'll spend until they mortgage off their pants and underwear too to pay for it.

LOL...He is so awful.....If he doesnt deliver a title there, his resume is gonna look really ugly

 

[Fountain City Blues]

he was one of the best pitchers in baseball in 2016

He has a CGSO in Fenway this season

And struck out 13 A's 2 weeks ago


Dont get me wrong, he has sucked, but he has shown enough to give hope that maybe this is just a phase he is going through

Right. He's not a 1 pitch pitcher when I talk about his splitter. But life gets a lot tougher when your 80 grade pitch is the proverbial arm behind your back.

Yeah, I agree. the alternative is really shitty and involves surgery. The Yankees doing as well as they have makes things kind of awkward.

He was absolutely unhittable in the spring, and the big buzz was that he was using his player opt-out after 2017 and the Yankees were gonna be in a tough spot

Now everyone is miserable that he wont opt out

LOL

Good win for the Yankees last night. Sabathia had a great game last night.

Jose Pirela is batting leadoff for the Padres on Thursday against the Diamondbacks.
Pirela came off the bench and went 3-for-3 with a double in his second game with the Padres on Wednesday. The 27-year-old former Yankees prospect suddenly carries legitimate fantasy intrigue in San Diego. He was batting 331/.387/.635, 13 home runs, 42 RBI, eight stolen bases, and 37 runs scored through 48 games this season at the Triple-A level.
