Dolfan in NYC Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 It's the month of the craziest trades and the meaningless exhibition game which allows a team that won 85 games to host Game 7 of the World Series! The Marlins are also .5 games out of the final Wild Card slot. WHOO! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig H Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 The Cubs bullpen is hot fucking garbage. A month ago I would laugh at the idea of trading Schwarber, Eloy, Happ, or other prospects for Miller and/or Chapman. But now? I'm not thinking it's as ridiculous of an idea.

Joe Lucia Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 MLB ethered the Red Sox for screwing around with international signings last summer - five of the kids they signed were declared free agents, and the Red Sox can't sign *any* international amateurs this year. This is massive - the international system is completely fucked up, but the Red Sox went around the very loose rules in a very blatant way.

Nevermind. They moved it to the alt. channel...sweet, sweet lovemakers! The announcer just made the following observation: "Each team tonight has scored in only one inning." note: The score is 1-1. Double note: They just stopped showing the game right in the inning when someone scores...fuckers...but the MLB anchor going over some highlights just name-checked Carlito and said his catch-phrase as if that was common knowledge.

elizium Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 Goins and Barney both pitched. When was the last time 2 position players pitched in the same game for one team? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MLB has been pushing for this for years upon years. I personally don't think it's going to happen this time around because there are more pressing issues (mainly, the QO system) that are of interest to both sides.

grilledcheese Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 And Goins goes to the DL with a forearm issue. He said it's no big deal, but being done as a precautionary measure to make sure nothing serious went wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

June 17, 2015 - Tampa did it June 18, 2015 - Cleveland did it The Cleveland game is notable for Kris Bryant hitting his first career grand slam off of David Murphy. Before these two, it was 1990.

hammerva Posted July 4, 2016 Share Posted July 4, 2016 Yeah he is got a ton of heat on this. He posted on his twitter that he would give someone $1000 for a ticket to the game. Well someone took him on the offer because he girlfriend didn't want to go. Can't blame the guy who gave him the ticket. I mean I would rather have $500 then watch the Braves vs Marlins. Now he claims that the money is going to a charity. Nobody believes him And people think wrestling fans are the biggest marks. I mean when Marlins Man who has to sit behind home fucking plate tells you that this was bullshit come on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a cousin who routinely gets to baseball games obscenely early to catch batting practice and beg the players to throw him a ball. I went with him a couple of times and the players are always pretty annoyed with him. I never understood it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
