RIPPA Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 Continuing with everything is terrible and terrifying Leonys Martin is recovering from battling a life threatening illness Quote Martin is said to have faced a life-threatening situation involving “multiple organs.” Fortunately, it seems his treatment at the Cleveland Clinic has been proceeding well. Indications are that the 30-year-old’s “outlook looks good,” as Bastian characterizes the situation based on the update provided by the organization. Brian Dozier had an "abnormal EKG" Quote Los Angeles Dodgers second baseman Brian Dozier will undergo tests on his heart after an EKG late Monday showed abnormal results. Dozier left Monday's game against the San Francisco Giants in the ninth inning after experiencing dizziness. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts told reporters that the EKG revealed "abnormalities" but did not elaborate beyond saying that Dozier would be further evaluated Tuesday. Kenley Jansen expects to have a 2nd heart surgery this offseason Quote Jansen also said he was told there's a good chance he will need another heart surgery in the offseason, similar to the surgery he had in 2012. He was prescribed blood thinners in 2011. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig H Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 Ben Zobrist was tossed out of his second game ever today, so whatever he did must have been bad and he must have been pissed. The reason? Zo made a comment about the strike zone and Cuzzi said he didn't want to hear it. So Zo said that's why the players want an electronic strike zone. Boom. Immediately tossed. Ben Zobrist might be favorite player now. It's also laughable that mentioning the electronic strike zone will get you tossed. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just Dave Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 Ronald Acuna led off the game with a HR again tonight. 3rd time in the last 5 games. Then homered again. Put him in the Hall right now.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PetrolCB Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 Jose Ureña is a talentless sack of shit. I’m not a Braves fan by any means, in fact, as a Phils fan, I hope they lose every game for the rest of the year. But this fuckstick needs to be dealt with in some form or another. He’s pulled this shit with Rhys Hoskins all year, and he’s not the only one. And now he nailed Acuña tonight on the first goddamn pitch, just because he’s been lights out. Fuck this guy. — On a positive note, great win for the Phils tonight. Wilson Ramos looked great in his first game. Velasquez shit the bed early, but our bullpen did quite well. I just hope we aren’t taxed for the next few games. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sabremike Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 I don't want to hear bullshit about old school and how drilling guys is OK. A baseball is a fucking weapon that can kill someone (note the stories that all too often crop up of some kid being killed because a ball hit them on the wrong spot of the chest). People throwing beanballs need to be dealt with severely, give that clown a lengthy suspension. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because from the replay *I* saw, that dirty SOB Ronald Acuña jumped in front of that baseball. Clearly he was too scared to face Ureña. The coward. 1 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People throwing beanballs need to be dealt with severely, give that clown a lengthy suspension. Hey, we all know what the "OS" in my handle stands for, but that said, I agree with you 100%. Most of you guys are too young to remember the guy that was my favorite player when I was a kid, chap name of Tony Conigiaro, played for the BoSox and while he wasn't a Brave, at least he made the Yankees miserable during his first two seasons, then he got beaned, he was never the same player again, instead of carving out a career that would have made people realize what a joke Carl Yastremski actually was, he's a dimly-remembered footnote and a "what might have been". A really tragic case. I have no problem with coming inside to move a guy back off the plate, throwing AT someone with the intent to hit them is a whole different story, that's assault with a deadly weapon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrianS81177 Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 In addition to the Stros and As both being tied, Seattle is hanging in there at 70-53. In fact if they were in the NL, Seattle would have the 2nd best record behind only the Cubs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig H Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 The Cubs either tied or set some kind of a record in their 4 game series against the Pirates. They're either the first team or the first in a long, long time to have a 4 game series where they only scored 1 run each game and each run was a solo HR. I can't be bothered to look up what kind of record this actually is because holy shit, they were only able to score 1 fucking run each game and each run was a solo HR. Fucking terrible.

RIPPA Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 The ones I am seeing - 1st team in history to score 1 run on a solo HR in 4 straight games - Last time Cubs scored no more than 1 in four straight games, regardless of how, was May 19-23 2009. - No one opponent has limited the Cubs to 1 run (or none) in 4 consecutive games since the Pirates did, in Sept. 1927 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
