Dolfan in NYC Posted July 3, 2023 Author Posted July 3, 2023 Jazz Chisholm strained his obliques over the weekend and is probably going on the IL (again). As a result, Miami is promoting CF Dane Myers from the Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp. He's been hitting an inhuman .448 there.
Cobra Commander Posted July 3, 2023 Posted July 3, 2023 Dane Myers hit .358 in 280 PAs in his final season at Rice in 2017 while pitching 54 innings. He pitched in the Tigers minor league system from 2017 to 2019 before switching back to hitting in 2021. So sort of the reverse of the people who switch to pitching, instead he switched away from pitching
RIPPA Posted July 4, 2023 Posted July 4, 2023 Mike Trout is hurt… again He injured his wrist on a swing and then said after the game “it doesn’t feel great” He is hoping it is “just” a sprained wrist
Tabe Posted July 4, 2023 Posted July 4, 2023 Clayton Kershaw is on the IL as well. Given his history, it could be legit but it sure feels like a "get out of the ASG" IL visit. https://www.si.com/mlb/dodgers/news/dodgers-news-clayton-kershaw-heads-to-il-la-announces-multiple-roster-moves

Cobra Commander Posted July 4, 2023 Posted July 4, 2023 The Padres DFA Nelson Cruz, we'll see if that slows down the tide of "Padres players hate each other" stories any
RIPPA Posted July 5, 2023 Posted July 5, 2023 And now Ohtani is hurt He left yesterday's game early due to a blister on the middle finger of his pitching hand. He was getting lit up including giving up back to back home runs for the first time in his career It is yet to be determined how it will affect his ability to DH but he did say that he probably will not pitch in the All Star game (Anthony Rendon is also hurt again but that is pretty much par for the course now) 1

Dolfan in NYC Posted July 6, 2023 Author Posted July 6, 2023 Marlins in the top wild card spot. Hell, I dunno... this might be one of those special seasons. But here is the living embodiment of "Sometimes it's better to be lucky than good..." You just know something bad's gonna happen to the Cards as soon as he double clutches a throw he's made roughly 60,000 times in his life.
Kevin Wilson Posted July 6, 2023 Posted July 6, 2023 What's particularly nutty is the Marlins this year are 1-9 against the Braves (with a -54 run diff to boot), and 50-28 against everyone else. I know baseball loves their whacky stats but that has to be a record difference of some sort. 1
RIPPA Posted July 7, 2023 Posted July 7, 2023 Couple of notable pitching returns today Carlos Rodon will make his first start as a Yankee Meanwhile, the Jays are all "Fuck it - he has figured it out" and are starting Alex Manoah
Cobra Commander Posted July 7, 2023 Posted July 7, 2023 It wouldn't totally shock me if the Jays made an impulse trade of Manoah sometime in the next few months and if there's any team interested in giving the Jays a rental for the cost of Manoah, they'd like to see how Manoah pitches in the majors instead of in the minors. of course that sort of thing would have to work out for the Jays to avoid being an infamous trade
Cobra Commander Posted July 7, 2023 Posted July 7, 2023 the Marlins demoted Eury Perez (2.36 ERA/185 ERA+ in 11 starts/53 1/3 innings) due to reasons that may involve "limiting innings" We're also around the time of year where some pitchers get demoted purely because they're not pitching until after the break (although you have to keep pitchers in the minors for 2 weeks if nobody gets hurt, so this is pretty late to do that sort of thing) 1
John from Cincinnati Posted July 8, 2023 Posted July 8, 2023 Matt Manning, Jason Foley, and Alex Lange have pitched a combined no-hitter against the Blue Jays.

SirFozzie Posted July 8, 2023 Posted July 8, 2023 (edited) Elly de la Cruz is a fucking cheat code. Stole Second. Then he stole third and home, ON THE SAME PLAY. (no throw on the steal to third, as he had a great jump and the third baseman couldn't get over in time, then when the catcher threw it back to the pitcher, the pitcher was frustrated and turned his back as he was walking around the mound. De la Cruz then said "DON'T MIND IF I DO!" and stole home before the pitcher could throw it https://www.mlb.com/news/elly-de-la-cruz-steals-second-third-and-home-in-same-at-bat?partnerID=mlbapp-android_article-share Edited July 8, 2023 by SirFozzie 1

Cobra Commander Posted July 9, 2023 Posted July 9, 2023 The really wild thing about Elly De La Cruz is that the worst series of his career so far was against the Royals. EDLC went 0 for 12 vs the Royals and he's hitting .363 vs everybody else

Raziel Posted July 10, 2023 Posted July 10, 2023 Obviously it's always the hitting coach and not the guy that put together a $280M roster that couldn't hit water if they fell out of a fucking boat.
Dolfan in NYC Posted July 10, 2023 Author Posted July 10, 2023 I'm just wondering about New York (NL) and what shoe they're gonna drop. For their sake, it should be a heavy one, and be on Buck's head.
Dolfan in NYC Posted July 10, 2023 Author Posted July 10, 2023 In other news yesterday, the draft happened, and the Marlins picked a kid. No, literally, this guy looks like he's 13. (And can apparently throw @ 100mph.)
