Dogbone- it ain't over yet. I still think Cubs will hold firm and win division with Cardinals second.
Jose Ramirez is the MVP
take him off the Indians and they are in last place
Yes and the Tigers have two guys that are younger & are having success. He was a good signing but he’s not needed and his D sucks. The Tigers have Greiner at AAA & Dingler will be ready by 2022 to make his appearance 2023 full time.
Excellent. Your comment is full of vast knowledge.
Prefer Tromp to both Casali & Ramos. Tromp looks like a useful backup guy to me.
He tweeked the shoulder joint while diving for a ball at SS, not swinging. He does seem to be controlling his swing now - keeping both hands on the bat through the follow-through
despite the minority of jealous haters (who emerge here every time he's in the headlines), the truth is that Tatis has become one of the most beloved and respected players in baseball, and by fans across the world.. His joy for the game and spectacular play reminds me of Griffey Jr in his early years. I'm a Giants fan first and foremost, but I grew up in San Diego watching Colbert and Gaston and Jones and Tony, and I have to admit I'm drawn to really liking this team again, not just because they're good but because of their personalities, and the awesome greatness of Tatis - he's a must watch, and every bit deserving of being the face of MLB
He already had his chance in Baltimore.. go kill it in the JPL
What do you plan on doing to him? Don't fall asleep Lloyd.
I don't actually have the sales figures for individual player jerseys on the Twins and the data to back it up, but it would be great if I did because I strongly suspect people who would buy player x's jersey were already in the market for a Twins Jersey and just happened to choose their favorite player on the team at the time. If player x were no longer on the team, the fan would just choose a player y jersey instead. The same way attendance figures are not impacted by a player.
In regard to "Albert Pujols" was it because it was "Albert Pujols"? You kind of prove my point by saying you also got a Yadier Molina jersey instead of a Pujols Angels' jersey. Fans pick a favorite player on a team, not a favorite team based on the player.
Tauchman proved he could hit in the Bronx--granted that was a while ago.
It says on spotrac that Slater and Dickerson still have options. If the G's want they might be able to send one of them out. I'd go with Slater. Since the Giants infield situation still isn't set maybe they can talk him into getting everyday ABs and work as, say, a third baseman.
Anyway, for the 21 Giants--and every other team, somebody new gets hurt withiin a shorter period than DFA limbo. If I were sent out I wouldn't even unpack for a while.
Sorry, you're right. I've had blinders on everything before the last month, but is getting undersold if he can stave off injury (big IF).
If you weren't looking for attention and peer approval, you wouldn't have commented and just muted me. Ask mom to heat me up dinner too, i'll be over after you go to bed.
Tony Conigliaro is a good "what if" candidate.
Also, Craig Counsell appears to be one of the better managers in MLB. If the Brewers fired him, and I don't believe they will, he would be out of work for 5 minutes.
He’s 29 and hasn’t had success in over 400 plate appearances. His minor league stats are very unimpressive. 4th round pick. There’s a reason he hasn’t been handed the keys to a chance at a starting job. No real reason to think he’s any better than he’s been, he is what he is: a fourth outfielder for a desperate team, nothing more.
I'm sure he definitely will provide offense to fill the hole Rendon left behind......
Say you're a Diamondbacks fan. Do you vote for nobody on your team? There has to be at least one representative of each team. Kelly has the top bWAR for Arizona.
It thought the Padres were honing in on the root cause of the shoulder issue with his swing.
I don’t watch Tatis everyday, but has he gone back to the one hand finish instead two hands? Is that why this shoulder issue is coming up again?
He seems really young to have chronic shoulder issues.
Do you think he needs to tone down on the violence in his swing?
If you have intelligent people in the right spots, they'll get the information they need for making major decisions. Nick Groke's comments appear personal and pretty biased to me, though I can understand why a follower of baseball could be frustrated by how the Rockies have been run, historically.
The title "interim" does not reflect skills or capabilities and having a baseball president be "business minded" is the appropriate and customary practice across MLB these days since the president of baseball operations is a position which deals with financial operations. The "interim" GM was the head of the Rockies scouting department with previous work in scouting for the Reds, Indians and Yankees. Committee management, in my personal experience, leads to slow, poor or non-existent decision making. I'm not sure what two additional "lieutenants" would add to the blockbuster trade scenarios expected here. Honestly, the team, if strapped for personnel resources would simply aim away from the potential smaller deals to focus on the big ones... like every single successful big company in the country.
Who knows what decisions the Rockies will make, but there are better ways to criticize the ownership in my opinion.
With Luchessi's injury, Jerad Eickhoff makes the most sense. He has the experience even though his recent minors stint has not been too impressive. Eickhoff can be more than serviceable. Mets have a lot of double headers coming up. They need arms. This is going to be their first real test, and I think they'll do just fine. I think Eickhoff will be a big part of that.
Varsho can't catch or throw. They should bring up one of their young catchers to see what they have. Ritchie at AAA is hitting like crazy, but he also is challenged behind the plate. The best defensive catcher in the organization is Miroglio at AA, but it looks like he is off to a rough start hitting. Now is the time to see them - it would be idiotic to buy an old catcher for a team slated to lose 110 games.
Looks like Stock has really fallen after finally being up this week.
The shoulder is extremely important for a SS.
I would want my team to be more cautious, with injured stars under a long contract.
Hopefully you’re right, and he can continue playing without long term issues.
PR, I don’t think you can find one true Padre fan that has negative things to say against Tatis. I’ve been a fan since they played their first game. I can’t think of a more popular player with the fans other than Tony Gwynn. I can’t think of anyone even close. You could mention players like Hoffman,Winfield, Peavy, Roberto Alomar,Randy Jones,Benito Santiago,Nate Colbert,Steve Garvey,Manny Machado, Ozzie Smith,Tim Flannery etc, but none of the above are even close.
fitting
Ice yes but it's not enough; as for ibuprofen, it's steadily falling out of favor--new studies show it slows healing at the same time it reduces inflammation.
As for Lucchesi on the IL, that's why they just selected Eickhoff. Give another so-so pitcher a shot
Kyle Ryan sounds like the name of the lead in a generic Michael Bay shoot-em-up film.
Doesn’t need to be in bubble wrap?! Lol. Tommy Pham has torn both his right, and his left labrum. Broken hamate bone. Broken wrist. Torn ligament in other wrist shortly after. Strained oblique. Not to mention the off-season stabbing.
No doubt a winnable division. The reality is that the lack of starting pitching depth for the Cubs is beginning to catch up with them. Another concern for the Cubs is how much longer can the bull pen maintain the level of surprising effectiveness they have demonstrated the 1st 1/3 or so of the season. Definitely some rough times for the Cubs the past several games. GM Hoyer will need to access if this is merely a typical part of the ups and downs of a long season or what this team actually is. He has about a month to make a logical determination.
They’ll Have To Trade For Him …
Mets Just Got a Warm Body for BOOM, BOOM Barnes Yesterday….
What a stupid take.
They do SO MUCH right, including 6, and possibly 7, starters that go DEEP into games, and can go long relief also, just like in 2017, and with that, just need 2 or 3 effective bullpen guys. But I grant you, bullpen is the big negative at the moment.
mlb.com/stats/team/pitching/avg-allowed-by-the-pit…
You are right on the money. I feel exactly the same, obviously. Here’s something to consider. I see it somewhat as other fans’ jealousy that he’s not on their team. I’m glad he belongs to San Diego, period.
Burns and White will be easy send downs. When Seager is back it may be a harder choice but by then someone else may be injured anyway :/
Unfortunately, he was probably going to be pushed out anyway once position players came back. Almora was the first. McNeil may be next, followed by Conforto, then possibly Nimmo and Davis. I believe Jose Martinez is on a major league contract, but he wouldn't displace anyone. It may be hard for McKinney to hold onto his spot.
St. Louis should have gone after him. They have nothing in RF.
No true #1 starter and no one on the starting staff has an ERA under 4,the bullpen is already overworked before the ASG. All the excitement being in 1st this time of year will be replaced by the idiots buying $15 watered down beer to make a cup snake in August and September.
Padres should grab Williams and dfa Grady immediately.
Regular 2020, 2nd year- has a chance to reach 162+ based off 89 games played 1st year
Shortened 2020, 2nd year- no chance to reach 162+ based off 89 games played 1st year
Yup. Math is hard for you. Glad you admit it. Your reading ability isn't much better. Now you know what you need to work on.
100% agree. That PR team should have been fired for that awful press conference. They owned up to the cheating (yes they apologized, maybe not as apologetic as other fans wanted but they did), but to be naive that they were the only team cheating is just dumb.
Figures. He’s on pace for a career year and now this news.
Despite getting off to a decent start, and playing in a winnable division - this season now has the distinct smell of a tear down and rebuild for the Cubs. Thank you Ricketts family. You tipped your hand last off-season when the reports came out, that you weren’t happy with the (ROI) Return on Investment. Then came the Darvish trade.
Connect the dots.
Why not prevent? It seems like God would be far more efficient if he prevented the injury instead of waiting to heal it later.
You guys have no idea what you are talking about …
Mason Williams has never been given a good shot at stocking long term with any of the organizations he’s been with.
He clearly has talent — just needs the right situation. Arizona? Baltimore?
Will the Diamondbacks turn to Varsho and have two left handed hitting Catchers on the roster? Might be time to buy Mathis or Lucroy from the Braves
I think he still has some value as a player. Not much, some.
I just worry about the bullpen so much. The top 7 in that lineup is just so much fun to watch. Not a below average hitter until Straw/Maldonado.
Is it worse than a hamstring? And know with hamstrings they are just nagging and tough to completely overcome. Lower body injuries are tough.
Actually Cashman's trade record isn't bad at all. Hicks, Tauchman, Torres, Voit, Urshela, Britton, Lynn, Cessa, Green, German, Happ, Kahnle, McCutchen even Stanton. For all that they gave up Gallegos, Clippard and Chapman as far any any impact or even regular players. Gray and Paxton didn't work out too well but Kaprelian is just starting to pitch at all and Sheffield is still struggling. Even Miller had just one good season after the trade for Frazier, Sheffield and Feyeresian.
He heals, does not prevent.
If your definition of “the best fans in baseball” is where teams have 2 syllable names, then sure. Not gonna chant a pejorative nickname for the sake of song. Doubt you’re hearing them say the name of the team in Cincinnati, Tampa, Atlanta either.
He has been a good player. but Posey and Realmuto are both more deserving this season. Voting for lesser players or lesser preforming players is why All-star appearances are dumb for assessing a players legacy.
Mason Williams DFA once again. Maybe he's better off as a coach or a new career.
Yes, Weber, you're the first troll I've decided to mute. Congrats!
I've read Gatsby - you can't relive the past.
I feel sorry for those of you that always look for something to say negative about Tatis. His contract was a mistake,he is too fragile, his commercials make him look stupid yada yada yada. Hope it makes you all feel better about yourselves. I choose to look at how humble he is, how the community absolutely loves him, how he is beloved by his teammates, his love for the game,how hard he plays the game and the buzz he brings to the ballpark wherever he is. He is an amazing talent on and off the field. He plays through injuries and is a role model for kids. How miserable it must be to always look for the negative in people.
great to see him back
Not all heroes wear capes
"On the plus side for Houston, the team has just kept on winning even without Bregman, as the Astros have rolled a six-game win streak to move within a game of the Athletics for the AL West lead."
Thank you for noticing. This team is, at least as they are currently playing, the kind of team that wins championships. As a BASEBALL fan, I could not be any more pleased than I am for my Astros.
While Pham started slow (after a very weird year that saw him getting stabbed), he's looked like his old self the last month-plus, sporting a .327 AVG and now the power looks back, along with plus-speed and ability to get OB. He'd be the most exciting player on any team without Tatis, and doesn't need to be in bubble-wrap.
there are still HUNDREDS of players left to be injured this year; good to know FPG will continue to monitor these breaking events.
Yep, that's how much the old lady's Munenori Kawasaki Blue Jays jersey cost me.
Da da da-da da da
first
first
Not to mention all the great moves during TL were made by Walt Jocketty not Mo
From now on, I'm ALWAYS going to call them the Twi - ins.
They should hire Ismael Cruz away from the Dodgers!!
I’m guessing it’s more than a bruise.
Of course our stadium is filled with Dodger fans. They live here now.
I have to think Monfort has provided all FO personnel with a copy of Rebuilding for Dummies. I don’t think anyone on staff has any trade experience much less rebuild experience. My guess is they’ll punt at the deadline and not trade anyone.
Souza will probably make his roster spot academic when he inevitably lands on the 60-day IL for some random injury. Amazing he’s gone the season between OKC and LA without being hurt.
Interesting on Goodrum, sounds by the description he might have a mallet finger. Yes, the do not require surgery but take a long time to heal.
As a Cardinals fan, I hated seeing Gomber get traded. I’ve kept up with him so far this year and hate to see him go down with an injury. Hopefully it’s nothing serious.
Too bad but that's unfortunately what happens when you don't play for GODS team.
Strained quads are tough, not a doctor but I wouldn’t expect to see him until end of July? Early August maybe?
It’s rare to see any team in this type of free fall. 6-40 since May 1. As a former player, coach, manager, and umpire I can’t even begin to wrap my head around a skid like that.
With all the thoughts and prayers you send out on a daily basis it's amazing that we still have injuries.......
Goodrum has lots of tools.and is an exciting player when he puts bat to ball, but mannnnnnn those strikeouts! Tigers will need a SS this off season. Who they take in the draft will determine the length of investment.
Not sure I understand how a bruise on the heel puts you out for 60 days . Seems like such a minor injury. I guess he has low pain tolerance
Thoughts and prayers for a speedy recovery.
Thanks for the info mate
No one would have dished it out because it was an extension. When he hit the market in a few years he may have been able to cash in or not, injuries could have made people shy away- you just never know
Being a Phillies fan, I have heard about Varsho but didn’t know how much they wanted to play him yet at the top level. Born an Orioles fan , I would like the O’s to get at least a mid level lottery ticket for him. ( more than a 17 yr old maybe ).
I am not defending the contract but, can you show me a player that played 162 in 2020?
Thanks for the update doc. Wait weren’t you the one that told me it was just a slight forearm strain? Next time out I threw 17 pitches and ended up at Andrews firm for a TJS!
Not happenstance, I can explain.
San Giuseppe (Joseph) is to Italians what Saint Patrick is to the Irish. So naturally, many Italian parents named their sons after him. But back in the day Italian Americans were looked down upon and treated poorly, so Italian parents would Americanize their kid's name to help them assimilate. Thus they would name their son Joseph instead of Giuseppe, and it's St Joseph's Day that is celebrated every March 19th.
Sent! I like your suggestion about the name change, but I don't want to make it about me. I'm just glad it seems to help every player who has been dealing with injury or illness.
KD - wrong as usual.
If the Red Sox make the playoffs in a rebuilding year, you will need new bs excuses why Bloom is a bad GM. Lol. Lol. Lol. Lol
DD was not smart….he just had a BIG checkbook, and any GM can over spend. I am glad the Red Sox won in 2018, but that does NOT make DD a great GM!
While I would agree with you for the most part, and obviously they aren’t THIS bad... you aren’t a good team if you lose 16 in a row and 39 out of 44.
Classic!
Four points, none hit. Rich and uncompelling Yankee Steve. Thoughts and prayers.
Agreed! My first thought after watching the commercial was, way to disrespect a larger part of the fan base. Especially coming from someone who really hasn’t proven squat yet. What a punk.
Looks like your guy Mercedes had another fine nite at the plate last nite.
Ummm hes gonna be sitting at least 2 months. Was watching Glassnow in the 2020 playoffs and last half after blowing away the Yankees with 102 constantly didn't look so great I was wondering if he was sore then? He looked kinda flat and easy to hit against the Astros and Dodgers
Count me as one of the guys who pegged them to be competitive....
There's talent there, and bright management personnel, from the FO on down; nobody blames the GM or the manager. Could be it's just small sample size theater. Some teams (Rays, Red Sox) probably aren't as good as they've looked; D-Backs probably aren't as bad. And they are, as Kelly's injury shows, (pardon the pun), snakebite.
If you have ever broken your wrist you would agree with the word suffer
They've been a complete train wreck for a while now; poor decision after poor decision. And still they pack the joint. It's pretty sad.
Bring Dan O'Dowd back to clean up the mess as an advisor (he obviously knows the challenges), and find one of those young bucks to take the reins. DOD loves AGM Sig Migjal (sp) of the Orioles (he originally hired him years back) and Sig sounds pretty impressive, on TV at least.
But this is an organization that needs a complete overhaul, top to bottom. Buddy Black is great, but he's gotta go too, simply because everybody's gotta go. Sometimes you DO make a change just to make a change.
White, Bickford and Mckinstry all are in their second option year, per Roster Resources. So they can both be sent down this year and next.
It's "option years" now, so they can demote and promote those guys 100 times this year.
