AL EAST 2017 Thread

[Bloody Brian Burke]

I'm hoping this thing doesn't end until there are some serious changes made to this team, whether it's selling at the trade deadline, getting rid of Dumpster Dan (preferably) and/or something else.

I hope the Orioles don't change a damn thing.

Bob Nightengale of USA Today reports that the Yankees and Red Sox have reached out to the Marlins about a potential Martin Prado trade.

Chase Headley and Pablo Sandoval have both struggled at the hot corner for the Yanks and Sox, respectively. Prado has played in just 21 games this season due to a hamstring injury which cost him about six weeks of action. He is hitting .277/.299/.398 with two homers and nine RBI in 83 at-bats this season.

Well he didnt last long

Tyler Austin is combating some bruising in his right hamstring.

Yankees manager Joe Girardi said that Austin could potentially land on the disabled list if the hamstring does not show signs of improvement soon. First base continues to be a nightmare position for the Yankees. It is not out of the question that they could potentially call Chris Carter -- who passed through waivers unclaimed after being DFAed -- back up.

ORIOLES keep dominating the division games.
Whether they contend or not ultimately, they are causing major headaches to the other eastern teams.

They have played 13 division series and New York is the only team who has won a series versus Baltimore.
They just cannot beat any other AL teams besides the AL East. They are laughably bad outside the division.

The intra-division success makes it very frustrating as to whether to BLOW IT UP.....or RIDE IT OUT.

Did I miss something? Why the F is Luis Cessa pitching?

He's been pitching lol. This is his 3rd start. He is CC replacement. Probably his last start though

LOL I did away with the MLB package on DirecTV and haven't been watching that many games this year. Thought I was keeping up, but I guess not.

Now Fowler didn't last a full inning in his debut.

@bksballer89 what happened?


BTW Gamecast sucks.

Crashed into the wall chasing down a foul ball. Left on a cart. Doesn't look good

BTW Gamecast sucks.

Ran very hard into railing along the right field line, charging full speed for a fly ball that landed in the first row over there.

Got up, tried to take one step... leg just gave. He needed an air-cast and stretcher. It was bad...

Replay showed his foot kind of get stuck under the wall and his body kept going full throttle right over the railing. Very good chance he broke a bone.

Pretty heartbreaking to happen on a kid's debut. I wish him the best.

Damn Shoulda Coulda Woulda games. MLB.TV had a special rest of the season for $10, I couldn't pass it up so I will be watching and trying to pay better attention from here on out.

 

[richig07]

Oh wow... That explains why his leg just could not support him when he tried to stand.

The patella is literally what holds your knee together. That definitely calls for emergency surgery. Jimmy Graham had surgery to get that repaired, and it was a long recovery. Many said he may never make it back, but that's football... so I'm sure Fowler will. Perhaps he'll lose a step though.

What a fluke disaster. Jesus. I really feel for the kid.

I won a free month of MLB.TV last year playing 'Beat the Streak' on MLB.com. It was really cool, but I'll probably wait until the White Sox are good again to pay up for it. I could be waiting a while...

Could be streaming the games on pirate sites into the 2020's. lol

O's definitely have the Jays' number right now.

Pretty solid debut for Clint Frazier. Double and now his first career HR.

He is no Mike Paglirula(sp) but I guess he will do.

Betances look like shit.

I was going to say one of the worst innings I have seen Betances throw.
