    Pretty perfect game to take a three year old to. Was over before he got too bored and got to see a couple homers. Thanks @UTPhil2006 for the suggestion about the first game certificate, had plenty of

Astros Sign Glenn Otto To Minor League Contract https://t.co/6Vew1GQtjA

With an Ort and an Otto, we really need to sign somebody named Should.

Tigers come back and win in last at bat again. 3 up 

I hope they get hot, I'd rather face them than the royals.  But fuck it lets just catch that 1 or 2 seed.

REPORT: MLB is Discussing a Radical Six-Inning Minimum for Starting Pitchershttps://t.co/Z9zjdgdXJy


Just saw this. Manfred is a jackass. Injuries aren’t a thing at all. Dumb

#17059

Doesn't apply if:

  • He throws 100 pitches
  • He gives up four or more earned runs
  • He gets injured (with a required IL stint

We're gonna limit injuries by making starters endure longer innings when it's clear they don't have it that start.  Pitchers definitely aren't going to overthrow when they are trying to avoid getting shelled.

Did Seattle play in Japan back at the beginning of the season? 
They seem to always be a game or 2 ahead of us in total games played.

Rafael Montero struck out the side in a scoreless outing last night for Sugar Land. He has struck out 6 over 3 scoreless innings since being sent to Triple-A. #Astros

Good, he can keep pitching for them.  I'm sure they'll be happy for the help.

The Space Cowboys are up 16.5 games in their division, they can afford some Montero outings.

So you're telling me I shouldn't be impressed by Whitley's scoreless streak?

The idiots have taken over everything now, and they're enshittening it all at warp speed.

Justin Verlander final line in rehab start for the Hooks:

Penn Murfee's outing tonight for Fayetteville was not as positive as Verlander's outing for the Hooks.

 

0.1 IP 3 H 4 ER 1 BB 1 K on 19 pitches. (12 strikes).

Topping out at 96 MPH, Justin Verlander dispatched 10 of 11 to finish his night, striking out the side in a perfect 4thJV's line: 4.0 IP, 4 H, 1 ER, 0 BB, 5 K, 41 of 57 P for strikes

So long Chas or Diaz ….

Discussed this quite a bit on Thursday’s show, among possible roster moves before the White Sox series. This season Whitcomb has played 150+ innings at each 2B, SS, 3B & 56 at 1B. Has made 10 starts in LF, 1 in RF https://t.co/2cEoUmWOwP

We have to clear a spot on the 40-man, but no problems we have this list of shitty players to choose from 

  1. Aledmys Diaz
  2. Oliver Ortega (60-day)
  3. Bennett Sousa (60-day)
  4. Nick Hernandez
  5. Jasnson Junk
  6. Luis Contreras
  7. Parker Mushinski
  8. Jacob Amaya
  9. Cooper Hummel
  10. Trey Cabbage
  11. Grae Kessinger

I would offer that these 11 guys would struggle to find a 40-man spot in any of the other MLB organizations.

#17094

Plenty of space on 26 man too. Tells you how bad the end of the roster is. Anybody that bats behind Meyers in the order probably shouldn’t be in the major leagues. Plenty of room for someone that can hit and catch a fly ball.

The theory is that pitchers know they have to make it to 6 and won't rely on velocity as much (which is ostensibly why there are more injuries), meaning the above, theoretically.  I think it's dumb, and I doubt people change the way the pitch.

Not as funny as Turturro, Mavs Mask Fan, or rapping Jazz fan. But humorous. 

If anybody has a link to Mavs or Jazz fans’ videos I would it appreciate because that shit is hilarious.

Welp, I lost my DirecTV piggyback, when my neighbor's mom ended her sub. Went back to the pirate streams for a couple of days, but fuck that shit. Got MLB.TV & Surfshark. Seems like it works great, at least for on demand games. We'll see how it goes tonight. Seems like the most cost-effective route for me. /csb
