Wtf are the Cubs doing with Contreras?? I understand the Lester/Ross combo but my lord. Call a kid up to pick splinters out of his arse.

1 pitch 1 homer hes ready
course daniel nava hit a grand slam on his 1st pitch hope he doesnt follow his path

Well sonofabitch. I wait all season to use Darvish, he goes back on the DL. I finally find a great source of steals, he hits the DL. My team can't catch a break. Ah well, nothing to do but complain. This is the place right?

@Microwahevo I don't think any of us have room to gripe, outside of TKO. He has the second best team, but is outside the playoffs right now.

@Microwahevo - offer sent.

Lots of 6-4, 5-5 games for me, obx... guess I bring out the best in all of you!

Picked up the wrong W Contreras.

It is a good thing I didn't start him, I was considering it.

Typical Bk. Falling apart in late June/Early July.

@Microwahevo

JD Martinez is out another month or so.

Just a heads up.

 

[broncosmitty]

Things tightened up league wide this week, nice.

Yes I'm aware. Taking him out of my lineup last week didn't save, so twas stuck with him. Doesn't matter, my team blows at this point.

 

[TKOSpikes]

@Nosferatu - you are starting injured players as well

When I flipped over to this weeks scoring I saw he was still in there. And really wished he was playing. Cuz Moya is NOT a good outfielder.

Good Luck rightin' the ship this week.

Wish I was playing BK this week tbh. Lol

Trading Block updated, boys. It's a fine day to make a deal.

Aside to @broncosmitty : Moya's outfielding skills notwithstanding, he has been quite a nice little surprise so far in points leagues. Doubtful it will last, but he has cut down his strikeout percentage in the early goings.

And one can always dream, can't they?

Let the gio era begin


Nationals RHP prospect Lucas Giolito will be called up from Double-A Harrisburg to make his major league debut Tuesday against the Mets.

Manager Dusty Baker said "he's ready for the task." We think so too. Baseball's consensus No. 1 prospect has pitched to a steady 3.17 ERA over 14 starts for Double-A Harrisburg this year while mixing in 100 mph heat and a devastating power curve. The 21-year-old will take Stephen Strasburg's spot in the starting rotation. If he's as good as advertised, Giolito could be in the majors for good. Make sure to scoop Giolito up in your league if he's still available.

I got him but had to drop Eickhoff for him.

He has legit power.

And evidently he made big adjustments during winter ball to try and cut back on the Ks. (Starts very open now.). Maybe this winter he'll work on the manning a position a bit more. Cuz he's a natural born DH in my eyes.

I like Giolito long term, but he may struggle early if he does not get the walks under control.
