MLB Daily Thread: Red Sox win a rare game, Yankees win, Padres avoid losing by not playing & holy Joey Gallo!

[redseat]

THE SAVIOIOR OF THE RED SOX HAS BE SIGNED!!!!

Red Sox sign "Alejandro De Aza" after he was DFA'd in May... He was trade for cash considerations

.214 3 hrs 7 RBI.... DUCK BOATS PEOPLE! DUCK BOATS!!

 

[williewilliejuan]

joey gallo...as we would say on CBS...jeter H christ...

3-4, a HR and 4 RBI, 3 runs scored...and missed a 2nd HR by inches in his debut.

why cant the redsox get prospects like this?

you know, ACTUAL legit prospects.

I was at the game last night. The place was going insane for the kid. Hard to imagine a better first day on the job.

 

[navamind]

I was joking about Betts.

It's been a while, though. How many prospects come up and slug in general, though? An extremely small percentage.

Which makes the overreactions to them not hitting in 35 games even stupider.

And it makes what Mike Trout and Bryce Harper have been doing even more impressive.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Yikes!!
Since 1900, no pitcher had ever had a game of 10+ K's, & 10+ hits in under 5 IP.
Then it happened 2 days in a row this week in San Diego.
On Monday, Andrew Cashner of the Padres did it...and Noah "Thor" Syndergaard of the Mets did it yesterday.

so david wright has spinal stenosis.

it runs in my family, i suffer from it now.

no fun.

Same here. PAIN! It ended Steve Nash's career and it probably doesn't look so good for Wright. It's hard enough to put socks on sometimes let alone playing a professional baseball game.

Gutsy win by the Yankees.

Tanaka returns today

Jackie Bradley homered off Tanaka last week during his rehab. What more do you need to know? He needs to get to Dr. Andrews already.

Damn good debut by Cravy last night for the Crew

Too bad their anemic offense couldn't have supported his effort

Its been a pretty anemic series so far. I feel like we are due for a 10-8 type of game

Daniel Nava Hit a grand slam homer with the 1st pitch he ever saw in MLB

btw Gallo Kd with bases loaded but only needed a triple for the cycle

<looks at @bksballer89>

Is it me, or does someone who claims the Yankees, Saints and Heat as their teams, and sports an avatar of Curry seem like a front runner?

BAHAHA! Awesome. I said the same fucking thing to him.

I told him it's ghey hero worship to have Curry as his avatar and that he's too old for that shit. He told me that watching Curry gets him very excited about the NBA and makes him a better fan!

 

[chappee11]

mookie isnt even hitting tho.

whens the last time the sox had a prospect come up and slug?

jacoby in a few games...before him, phil plantier?

Can we count Anthony Rizzo? Sure, it happened for another team, but he rakes.

 

[obxyankeefan]

Jeff Bagwell did pretty good for a Red Sox prospect. Hanley Ramirez was decent for a few years.

 

[obxyankeefan]

I have been told that JBJ would start on the rest of the teams in MLB and that they all would be happy to have him.

 

[huskers1217]

Jerry Gallo

Thank god, im not the only one that thought this when I heard is name

 

[HammerDown]

Yeah, the Padres!!! Oh, nevermind. The Cubs.

Nobody told you that. Zip it.

 

[chappee11]

2 wins in a row for the streaking Red Sox! Be warned, competition!

 

[obxyankeefan]

Nobody told you that. Zip it.

Yes, but to be fair his name describes his intelligence. Dumb as a box of.............
