The 2017 MLB Thread

you have to imagine these choke jobs will factor into harpers free agency

let alone harper and bryant knowing each other since HS to go along with their wives being best of friends

as for the trade on the surface it could make sense

there is no good internal option to use at closer because i sure wouldnt trust

edwards

rondon

strop

to get 3 outs consistently in the 9th right now

and getting at least 1 good starting pitcher is a must

but they both had terrible seasons

for samardzija at least i would feel a whole lot better had bosio not got fired since hes the one that resurrected his career

would you make that trade?

I don't know.Melaconon was a disaster on the giants,lost his closers job then got injured

he has an opt out after 2018 season that I doubt he exercises,shark can fill in need in the rotation

it comes down to do these 2 players have more value than heyward.I just saw heyward and trade and got hyped lol

Also shark has awful #'s the 2nd and 3rd time thru the order.I honestly don't know

I've read about this pitching coach the cubs just hired he's supposed to be great with reformation projects(which both pitchers are go look up rodneys #'s on the rays)and this might give the cubs a chance at harper or stanton which will be worth it

i heard the same thing for chili davis

but theres probably a lot of red sox fans ready to move on from davis too

they had some serious regression

almost across the board from their hitters this past year

we will see

all i know is looking at hayward its an absolute joke that he has performed the way he has the last two seasons

he was never a great hitter but shit

a lot of it falls on him but lets see if davis can work to fix that (cant do any worse)

Yea I read good things about davis,specifically the 2 strike approach. I also read about that butterfield cat too he's supposed to be really good red sox fans were tight they lost both coaches.Gary jones was cool I was kind of sad he got axed

So all 3 coaches hired are good.Probably gonna need a new bench coach cuz it sounds like dave martinez most likely getting the nationals job.

Yup heyward is damn near an automatic out, people losing patience if davis can get him right he's a miracle worker

There continue to be whispers that Bryce Harper could eventually wind up with the Cubs, where he’d join great friend Kris Bryant. The two sluggers are both from Las Vegas and knew each other growing up. - Jon Heyman

That's a serious one two punch in that line up hitting wise.

it was funny to see so many people connected girardi to the nats job

those people must not be familiar with the lerner family

should have been easy to narrow down

who will do it for the least amount of $$$

good for dave though it seems his name along with sandy alomar jr always come up but it never leads to anything

 

[PanchoYoSancho]

Wood pitching a masterpiece

EDIT: NOOOTTT

 

[ckfree]

wood has done what the dodgers needed

until that last pitch

 

[DR. JEK]

That must suck as a pitcher

One bad pitch and your outta there.

Somebody put out an APB on the Dodger offense!!

 

[ckfree]

forsythe with the biggest hit of the season for the dodgers

absolutely clutch hitting

brand new game

 

[MR.CJ]

2-2

 

[PanchoYoSancho]

2-2

Lol @ the Kirk Cousins "You like that! You like that!"

 

[ckfree]

feels like the winner tonight is guaranteed the world series

not sure how houston beats LA twice in LA if they lose

and if houston knocks down kershaw

pretty goos chance verlander and company will finish the job riding high

 

[O.G.]

If Kershaw can keep the home runs he gives up to solo shots then I really like our chances tonight. Someone might have to give Bregman a hard slide and get him the fuck outta the game. He's killing us. I think Altuve is due. Just hope it is too little too late. Jansen is making me nervous. Astros are good fast ball hitters and Jansen is leaving some over the plate.

 

[Tommy bilfiger]

Another legacy defining game for kershaw tonight and he'd be available in game 7 out the pen

Wood pitched really good last night.
