"This ain't football. We do this every day."
And from MLBTR they also traded a AA reliever for more international bonus pool money. Hmmm . . .
[1] yeah they seem to be seriously accumulating bonus money. They have plans...
Maybe to shove more money at Otani?
It's not all that much money when you consider what Otani would have been worth under the old system.
I really doubt he's coming over this winter, which is a shame.
Do you guys like the deal or do you think they gave up too much?
I like it. I remember when Brien Taylor injured his shoulder and never made it to the bigs. Medicine has gotten better, but you never know. To get something good you have to give up something good
I like the trade. Gleyber was the big name who who may have been given a shot this year if not for his injury. Good luck, kid. But now we've got a decent pitcher in Sonny for nearly 2 1/2 years.
yep agreed. Good deal though plenty of unknown with all of the players involved.
Sevy throwing a lot of pitches.
Ruh roh
Headley never made it to first base regardless.
Where the fuck were you going, Headley? Oi!
Phew.
Phew. Go get em, offense.
there is our first phew.
how was that a strike?
Never mind me. I'm mixing up Jorge Mateo with Gleyber Torres. My bad.
I'm stuck with the Tigers feed, what are Kay and whoever else is in the booth thoughts
[18] about the deal? I think it's Cone and Paulie. They seem to like it though I wasn't paying enough attention to quote or summarize.
alright not bad.
Sssup all youse? Been offline while on vacation, seems a big haul they gave up for Gray, even if Fowler and Kaprelian are on the DL..
[19] Thanks
There we go Wade!
Clint has hit the ball 108 and 109 mph and nothing to show for it.
[21] Not just the DL though, out for at least this season with serious injuries ... Kap is out with TJ surgery and Fowler had that horrific knee injury. For a guy who projects in part because of his speed a knee injury like that is a BIG if.
(25) Hmmm..so what are the A's doing then, just banking on full recovery? Gray has 2.5 years left on his contract
bummer
Oh come on. A second error?
ugly inning. Sevi has maybe 1 more.
[26] Big risk, potentially big reward.
Sloppy D there, boys ...
80+ pitches for Sev through 4 ... looks like another long night for the bullpen.
Error filled inning
Turn about is fair play!
And it's Headley!
HEADLEY!
Frazier joins the party
The God Frazier.
Can't give extra outs!
FRAZIER!
After yesterday's RLISP fiasco, cleaning the bases here feels very, very good.
big strike zone tonight.
One more out, Sevvy.
Get someone up ... NOW.
Last inning for Sev.
Stop. Walking. People.
Kahnle is up. Last batter for Luis. Definitely tired
Joe should have already had someone getting loose.
Oh come on blue. Even Detroit shows it a strike
115 through 4&2/3??
phew. glad for sevy to get through 5 there. Now let the ultra pen do its job.
Just great 116 pitches ... in the 4th ... glad we're burning out Sev to get a fucking pitcher W.
Sorry, 5th
I leave at 1-0 and come back to 4-1. I like it.
Judge!
Love the pitcher's reaction.
ALL RISE!
Yikes. Watch your lips.
Ouch, right in the head. Expect a Yankee to get hit
This is not starting well.
Jebus, that was scary from Kahnle.
I completely understand Mahtook's reaction.
How'd he get straight up after that?
Lead off single in 9th. No no-no.
Fucking Bollocks. He had it all the way.
I find it annoying that Nunez is raking for Boston. His primary skill is supposed to be throwing the ball to random destinations.
Ha. Siddown, Cabrera.
Betances in the 7th? Put an APB out on the Binder
Binder ain't changed, just got more pages
Message sent.
And done right.
Frazier MASHES!
C'mon Syndrome!
Frazier has hit the ball over 100 mph every time tonight. Finally a hit for it.
Watching this team compared to the last 3 years or so is freaking unbelievable.
Yup. That's the perfect payback for the HBP.
Obviously Clint needs to stay with the big leaguers. But what do you do with Ellsbury when Hicks returns? It is a tricky question.
[67] Right? It's amazing. Got to give props to Cashman.
Sanchez at least got a sac fly out of that.
An outfield rotation where Ellsbury gets the least abs. Hicks has got to get back to hitting well again. Nice problem to have. It'll probably sort itself out.
I really hope Holliday figures it out by September.
Had to let the dogs in and out. Looks like I missed some baseball
Obviously Clint needs to stay with the big leaguers. But what do you do with Ellsbury when Hicks returns? It is a tricky question.
Take the gun, leave the canoli ...
For me, send me upstate, hiking in the Adirondacks, leave me a bread crumb trail.
Or trade and eat salary
One down
Ugh
Why the fuck does Chapman have to be up? Seriously. So if they score two, dude can get a save? Bollocks.
Yikes
CC needs to go deep to orrow
Oh, joy ... save situation
I'll trade the run for the out
Three down! Night all.
Cheers, y'all. Good W.
Yay! 103 mph
