Other half of killa Bs is here

The Braves will wait until Wednesday to announce pitcher Manny Banuelos will start Thursday's game against the Nationals, according to MLB.com. It would be his MLB debut.

Banuelos, who was acquired in a January trade with the Yankees, has been a standout arm for Triple-A Gwinnett in 2015. He is 6-2 with a 2.29 ERA and 1.22 WHIP in 15 starts. He has 69 strikeouts and 38 walks in 82 2/3 innings.

The 24-year-old left-hander was considered a top-100 prospect in 2011 and 2012.

Indians' pitching = FYAAAAAAAA

Slinky is happy somewhere.

Now if the bats would help the rotation out. Hey I know a team with lots of good bats that could use a starter...

Oh, the life of a night watchman at the cranberry silo

If they would stop making me stand in that field of cranberry juice with that young idiot filming commercials I would like me job.

I bet Bobby Bonilla has been staring at that deposit on his account for the last 24 hours. Must look amazing.

normally i come to work at 6:30 or so in the morning and this place is a zoo. our lot is being paved, so we have been parking haphazardly up and down the street. even at 6:30 am its tough to get a good spot.

there are 3 cars here this morning.

3.

thanks obama!

Cool story, bro.

I am hung over. It's not good.

if anyone needs some fantasy pop in their lineup...

miguel sano...

Sano will reportedly be called up by the Twins on Wednesday, MLB.com's Rhett Bollinger reports.
Spin:
While nothing is official, this report is enough to compel owners in almost all formats to make sure Sano is not available on waivers. Much like Rangers prospect Joey Gallo, who was recently optioned back to the minors, Sano has 80-grade power and has the potential to hit double-digit home runs in a month. Unlike Gallo, however, Sano does not have potentially crippling strikeout issues, as he posted a very manageable 23.8 percent K-rate at Double-A this season. With Kennys Vargas getting optioned earlier in the day, Sano figures to be in the lineup almost every day going forward, splitting time between DH and third base.

Also, if he's available in your league, I would like to join it.

That's after he bought himself another fleshlight.

a 1.22 WHIP in AAA isnt considered good

For that league it's pretty good. Out of the 41 pitchers with 60+ innings in the International League, just 7 have a WHIP under 1.20

Hung over, you say...

No, you heard wrong. The Red Sox signed Dave Stieb to a minor league deal.

 

[SlinkyRedfoot]

That's actually comforting to me.

So yesterday the Sox N Jays played an afternoon game that was not a getaway game, and tonight they play at 7PM.

All because they wanted to celebrate some made-up holiday called "Canada Day." What a country.
