MLB Daily Thread: 08/16/17: Chapman did his best to blow game last night

[bksballer89]

That was pretty bad. Hope his hammy got injured bad enough to require a short trip to the dl

Chapman still needs a translator?

The Mets acquired OF Travis Snider from Texas for cash and sent him to Triple-A Las Vegas. He last played in the majors in 2015 with Pittsburgh and Baltimore. He was hitting .294 with nine homers and 44 RBIs this year at Triple-A Round Rock. The Mets also signed RHP Neil Wagner to a minor league deal. He most recently was in the majors in 2014 with Toronto.

Mets: RHP Noah Syndergaard threw 20 pitches off the bullpen mound before the game and later said, "This is the best I've ever felt." It was his first time on a mound since tearing his lat on April 30. ... RHP Matt Harvey (shoulder) is set for his second rehab outing on Wednesday for Class A Brooklyn. He threw 18 pitches in his first outing. ... RHP Jeurys Familia is set to pitch Wednesday for Class A St. Lucie. It will be his first rehab appearance since having surgery for a blood clot in his shoulder.

I was at the game last night and can now check off "triple play" as something rare I've seen live.

Gabe Kapler hitting two HRs in a game
Rusney Castillo hitting a HR
No-hitter (Lester)
Postseason walk-off hit (Game 2, 2013 ALCS)
Triple Play

And yes, that's in order from most to least rare

BTW Gary is on fire. It is amazing what lunch with A-Rod and Jlo can do for a player. Judge should do the same

Great hitter

Best is yet to come

Hate that he's a catcher

Chapman to the DL to get his mind and body right would be great

This is one pen that could deal with that

People crapped on Porcello a lot this year, and it's understandable because of the regression from last year, but he's put together a valuable season. 9th in IP/GS with an ERA+ of 99. He's gone 6+ innings in 23 of his 25 starts, which leads the majors. his xFIP is 12th in the AL, his K% is 15th, and he leads the league in BB%

Learn how to quote @DirtDirtDirt, you're a mess.

Yeah but have you ever seen someone almost lose an eye?

Word. Like Gary wasn't under suspicion already. Now he's eating with the godfather of PEDs.

 

[navamind]

you should do more titles about the Yankees

Funny enough, I was at his first game back.

Nasty. 7 IP, 10 Ks, 0 BBs.

The Tribe starting pitching roll continues. Over the last twelve games, going back to 8/3, Indians' starters combine for:

7.17 IP/GS ~ 11.8 K/9 ~ 5.95 K/BB ~ 0.884 WHIP ~ 1.88 ERA

What's crazy is that despite going seven and striking out ten last night, Salazar lowered the IP/GP and K/9 rates that the starters have posted over the last twelve.

Roll Tribe.

Will do. Thanks
