MLB Daily Thread: 08-28-17: Dodgers lose first home series since June & O's sweep Sox

[DirtDirtDirt]

no shit...i mean, pedro...bag of suck.

sales career ERA by month

april/march - 2.97
may - 2.57
june - 2.66
july - 2.66
august - 3.31
sept/oct - 3.79

hes also a 29-34 career second half pitcher...but thats the teams fault, not his.

career 2nd half:

29-34
3.30 ERA
1.140 WHIP

his numbers this year are right in line with that...

2nd half

3-2
3.20
1.007 WHIP

Still better than most, just below his typical standards

I just happened to hear that quick blurb somewhere on Friday

Yeah. If IT2 can play 65 games or more (I guess this is a big if now), I wouldn't mind seeing that deal fall through.

not to mention the picks back and the team wouldn't have to worry about (well maybe with IT the way things went) chemistry and they could mold the new players like Tatum and then the future picks.

However, it appears he is/maybe hurt more than the C's led on. This day and age it's hard to believe the Cavs didn't truly know what was wrong with him

to be fair, hees never really had a shot at anything in august or september etc.

Why is Hanley still batting clean-up?

Fister, Pomeranz have been pretty good. Unfortnately the Red Sox are back to their ways of getting people on base but can't get them in.. Chris Sale is human against the Indians.... F U @SlinkyRedfoot

What are their other options at this point?

See, Judge batting 3rd still while being one of the games worst hitters for 2 months really bothers me, cause now especially, with Castro and Bird back, they have plenty of other options to slide into the 2-3 hole

I hope Judge is not in the lineup for the next 2 nights against Kluber and Bauer

Perfect time to give him a breather, and Ellsbury is actually swinging it well, so perfect time to give Judge a couple days

Rather Beni or even Devers... But I see the arguments for NOT having either one hitting there... Yes Hanley has the most HRs on the team but what has that truly gotten them?

Bird? The Greg Bird hitting .127? Do the Yankees have another Bird on their team?

he was asking me about the Red Sox other options at having a clean-up hitter.

Wish they went after EE

I'm a believer him and Castro are winning them the AL East (combined with whats already there)

Best hitter in baseball in the spring
Fouls pitch off his foot last day of ST, goes on to become worst hitter in baseball for a month
Ballerina bone in foot fixed
Great rehab, and 4 or 5 good looking AB's this weekend

Ridiculously small sample, but his swing is too pretty not to be effective

From now till the rest of the season we will donate 10,000 dollars for every Homerun I hit to help aid the relief efforts in Houston




doesn't seem that generous if you ask me. . . .

 

[Used 2 B Hu]

that would be the last thing the league wants

Gotta stick it to the Pats every chance we can get

He could donate a lot.. He has the potential to get money... It's nice of him to make an offer like that however

If the games were on the road, maybe. Since they're at home...no can do

Is Tyler Austin still on the roster or they sent him down when they brought up Bird?

 

[obxyankeefan]

Ed Sprague won a College World Series with Stanford, won an Olympic Gold Medal in baseball 1988, and won two World Series with the Blue Jays.

@Rock Strongo How come you didn't count him for your question?

Austin is listed as Minor Leagues on my fantasy team.

easy

baseball wasnt an olympic sport then, it was a "demonstration sport" that year. it didnt count towards medal counts. the medals are unofficial.

so...thats why n stuff.

was that an attempt at a "gotcha!"?
