Re: Killeverything's (New)NeverEndingBaseballThread
Its kind of funny that most of the contenders in the NL have bullpen issues one way or another. Should be interesting who gets who at the deadline.
Re: Killeverything's (New)NeverEndingBaseballThread
Rangers vs Yankees played a game last night that did not end until 2:30 am. Why? Well there was a 3 hour, 45 minute rain delay
in the top of the 9th inning.
How the fuck are both teams going to recover in such a short amount of time and be expected to play well when they probably
got back to their rooms/hotel/homes around 4 am or later?

I can't recall anyone thinking Bryant was overrated here. I'm still not sure I agree with his Rookie Of The Year though.wickedsensation wrote:Still over-rated in the minds of some...johnk5150 wrote:Kris Bryant
Bullpen is getting worse, don't think Joel Peralta is going to be enough. Hope they trade for Miller or Chapman, hell Doolittle would be nice too!
The big rumor right now is that Theo and Hoyer are in serious discussions with Cashman about acquiring Chapman. CHC has the pieces in their farm, the MFY doesn't and with them on the hook for injury-prone 30 year olds, I wouldn't be the least bit surprised to see something get done.
That would be terrifying if you think about it. The only weakness Chicago has would be replaced with the elite? Holy shit.

15 innings. 3 pitchers play left field. 4 hours 43 minutes. Cubs win.
It was easier to root for the Cubs when they sucked.

Re: Killeverything's (New)NeverEndingBaseballThread
Noah Syndergaard was on WFAN's Boomer and Carton show on Wednesday and conceded he didn't tell the truth about bone spurs in his elbow (via Matt Schneidman of the New York Post).
Sometimes it can be a little bit irritating, but the whole reason I basically denied it was because I didn’t want to make it sound like I was making an excuse for my poor performance the other night. There’s no structural damage; as long as I’m staying on my anti-inflammatories, my elbow is feeling great.”
"There's nothing structurally wrong with my elbow at all," said Syndergaard on Monday, per Anthony DiComo of MLB.com. "No bone chips or spurs, no strains or tears, nothing."
"It was just a little thing I was feeling that wasn’t allowing me to finish my pitches and compete to the fullest ability that I’m able to compete at," Syndergaard said on June 24, per Adam Rubin of ESPN.com
Makes sense. The "holy shit that pitching staff is going to give KC all kinds of trouble and be dominant for quite a while" hasn't looked the part as of late.

Re: Killeverything's (New)NeverEndingBaseballThread
Who remembers which two hurlers threw no hitters on the same day? 26
years ago it was
Dave Stewart, Oakland
Fernando Valenzuela, Dodgers
I think Stewart threw his earlier in the night and then L.A. played the 7:30 pm local time game
and that's when Fernando threw his no hitter.

Re: Killeverything's (New)NeverEndingBaseballThread
Rumors!
The MFY want Schwarber for Miller. They ain't fuckin' around apparently.
The Nats are wanting to acquire the ( DEVIL ) Rays Erasmo Ramirez. You might remember Erasmo Ramirez from former Seattle GM Jack Zduriencik's failed films such as 'Justin Smoak: A Power Hitter In The Making,' or Dustin Ackley: I Was Drafted Over Mike Trout.'
The Dodgers place Clayton Kershaw on DL ( back ). He's going to receive an epidural.
KC places Cain on DL ( hamstring ).
If the June Swoon is real for every team, who actually wins their games?

I sure as hell hope he doesn't do it. Schwarber's poor D not withstanding, his bat would be sorely missed. I don't see why the Yankees wouldn't consider a package involving Torres and Happ.johnk5150 wrote:killeverything wrote:Rumors!

Hopefully Theo doesn't move Schwarber and goes after Doolittle instead. I'm sure the A's won't demand Schwarber (although I'm sure they'd like him as well).

Re: Killeverything's (New)NeverEndingBaseballThread
I wouldn't do it if I was Theo. The MFY lacks starpower right now so adding Schwarbwer is a no brainer, although their ( clever as hell ) No Runs DMC shirts would be irrelevant.wickedsensation wrote:I sure as hell hope he doesn't do it.

Miller, while elite, has struggled with health in the past ( I think. I ain't looking that shit up ). I believe long term ( assuming the Cubs don't win the '16 WS ) Schwarber would be more valuable.
Of course look at my fantasy team Every. Fucking. Year. I'm seldom right on these things.
Re: Killeverything's (New)NeverEndingBaseballThread
Miller is a beast on the mound. He can give you one inning and sometimes not one single batter makes contact at the plate. Miller is that good.killeverything wrote:I wouldn't do it if I was Theo.

Does the trade make sense? Would one team actually fleece another? Difficult to say.
This Cubs player is out for the year with the torn ACL. No telling he will be a very good or better player upon his return. Since he is already
a liability on D, that makes him a prime candidate for the DH role in The Bronx. At the end of the day I think the Yankees should pull
the trigger and steal this kid from the Cubs for not much in return.

Re: Killeverything's (New)NeverEndingBaseballThread
According to ESPNChicago.com beat writer Jesse Rogers, Theo said this afternoon:
"I'm looking forward to seeing Kyle Schwarber playing for the Cubs on opening day next year."
Not that this is a guarantee or anything, but hopefully it's worth something!

Unfortunately, this is probably the start of something bad for him.
