Nice Guy Eddie Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 41 minutes ago, RIPPA said: Reports at the moment say a month I'm stashing him in the fantasy team I have him. My one complaint about CBS leagues is they don't give you a DL spot, so now I'm essentially playing with a 20 man roster. I picked up Minnesota's closer, Brandon Kintzler, 10 saves 2.12 ERA in 16 appearances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

just drew Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 Fuck the Toronto Blue Jays. After hitting 7 Braves with pitches in the last 3 games, they get testy when one of theres gets plunked. Then, after Freddie Freeman has to leave the game after being hit in the left wrist, Jose Bautista tries to start some shit by flipping his bat on a HR down by 5. Classless. Fuck him. I guess he needs another ass beating. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted May 18, 2017 Author Share Posted May 18, 2017 Freeman's initial x-ray was inconclusive so he is going for a MRI and CT Scan Per Jon Heyman - the Braves are already discussion replacements including ones outside of the organization so clearly they think he is going to be out for a bit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
just drew Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 Yep. Damn shame, too. Was blossoming this year into a top 5 hitter. I bet they sign James Loney. Cheap option w decent on base skills that doesn't block anyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiji Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 I don't think the Blue Jays are very likable. Pillar apparently used a homophobic slur last night on top of the Bautista shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dewar Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 Braves are telling the Archbishop of Boston Peter Gammons that there's going to be a fight tonight. So I guess watch Jays-Braves? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kuetsar Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 Reading about it, I'm surprised the Braves didn't shave(or try to) a couple of Blue Jays with fastballs that game. . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

odessasteps Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 Well, if he charged the mount or such, it would have excalated it. And playing it down after the game, all struck me as not his usual pattern of behavior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stanton and MIA are laughing about it today, B6 and MIA is up 10-2 and Stanton has 3 2B. Straily had a no-no through 4.1 until Kiké Hernandez went deep.
