MLB Daily Thread: 6.30.15: Mets pitchers dispense of Designated Hitter controversy once and for all

[Used 2 B Hu]

Imagine a team with the Mets' young pitchers and the Cubs' young hitters.

I've been trying to reach Theo for weeks to do a lil' dealing

Wait a damn jimmie-corn minute...BALTIMORE is in first place??? When the hell did THIS happen???

@bksballer89 , were you aware of this?

Shit like this happens playing in the best division in baseball

Pshaw! Boston is single-handedly inflating all your records. Enjoy fourth place by the end of the week!

Baltimore just wrapped up a sweep of Cleveland with 18 shutout innings in yesterday's DH. That is why they are tied for first. Evan the Faries from Queens hit hardened than Cleveland.

The Indians are 4-2 against the Yankees.

Dood, talk about being moist...we'd be devastatin' if we only had a bat or three.

I read a terrible trade rumor yesterday that Matz would be the "starting point" in a package for Tulowitzki. I had to laugh at the thought of the Mets assuming that horrible contract. Tulo is about as overrated as they come.

This.

What is the Indians' excuse for stinking so bad?? They seem to have all the right pieces. I'm confused by that team.

That's not just terrible...it appears to have been drafted up by some resident of an Intermediate Care Facility.

They're blaming Sports Illustrated.

It's frustrating. So many of the guys flash brilliance one game, and then shit their pants the next.

I know this is just hokum, but it sure seems to me like since the mid-90's teams, any time they had reasonable expectations, they suck balls.

It was from Nick Cafardo who is a brain-dead MLB writer for the Boston Globe. He's like 100 years old and completely out-of-touch with reality(he also has me blocked on Twitter, but I still read his MLB notes. Here are his exact words:

3. Troy Tulowitzki, SS, Rockies — The Mets continue to be the best match for Tulowitzki, according to the baseball executives who have offered an opinion. The Mets have the young pitching (lefthander Steven Matz) to start with in a deal for Tulowitzki, who could improve a Mets offense that has the worst OPS in the majors on offspeed pitches, of which they’re getting a steady diet, according to MLB Network researcher Elliott Kalb. Tulowitzki could man shortstop or third base and electrify the Mets’ fan base, which is starving for its team to be relevant from April to October.

I expected that team to contend. At some point, Tito is going to draw some criticism, no?

Maybe? He seems to have a lot of good will around here, but that's only going to last for so long.

Before the season, I busted someone's balls for picking the Indians to finish in the basement of the AL Central. I said they'd never finished in last place and with the Twins as a safety net, it sure as shit wasn't going to happen this year.

The Twins are 6.5 games up on the Indians. . .

I'm as surprised as you are. That roster appears to be loaded....

It's a shame that Kipnis' awesome effort thus far has been squandered.

Maybe it's because the Cavs made it all the way to the finals. Cleveland's playoff series quota for this year was blown by June. . .

 

[obxyankeefan]

The Indians are 4-2 against the Yankees.

In what year?

They don't play each other until August.
