Mother ****er drives me crazy. He's actually a really good hitter. I think he just can't hold up being a catcher. The injuries just sap everything out of him.

[SteezeFactory]

LOL at getting excited over 1 start when you're 4.08 ERA, 1.26 WHIP on the season and 3.86 ERA and 1.29 WHIP in the last two weeks even with the good start.

A day like yesterday for Shoemaker is just another day at the ballpark for Julio Teheran. No big deal...




Also for what it's worth I don't remember saying it, but I'm sure that I did because he does suck.

Lol'd. The maker of shoes since he changed his approach and started throwing his splitter:



I know you aren't too good at math, but that's a 2.3x ERA and an 88:9 K:BB ratio in his last 76 or so innings

#sucky

Looking forward to watching CyJulio try to run away from the regression train in the second half of the season, god speed boyo!

Bringing the fight to Jyeatbvg this week

[melanimal_old]

well im obviously not going to try and trade a contender one of my catchers now unless I sustain a bad injury.

[saaltydog]

Gonna be pissed if the Yankees trade both Chapman and Miller to the Cubs for Schwarber. I realize he is built for Yankee Stadium but he's atrocious in the field. He has DH written all over him.

Yankees could get more value by splitting them up. Would rather trade one and get Gallo. Then trade the other for something else.

fukin love schwarber. that would be an awesome move. though i personally think the yanks could do things a bit differently rather than get rid of chapman and miller

thing is..if he goes to cubs, miller deserves closing spot. i dont think the cubs will put him there cause rondon's been awesome and seems like it'd cause a clubhouse rift if he's moved off the spot.

totally agree about splitting them up though. there's no way schwarber deserves both of them

[krazy33]

dam* baez is looking good. calm and cool at the plate. everything controlled. not overmatched at all

this is just against lefties...but i portend a breakout soon

i havent seen him against righties lately

you my friend are nuts. Gallo is 50/50 for me to turning into Russell Branyon. Schwarber is a batting champion in waiting.

Completely agree with you there. I know Schwarber showed a lot of power last year at the plate....BUT...it was 69 games and he struck out a lot. Plus that defense.... People have gotten a little carried away with him and I think the market is over valuing him. Not that he isn't a good player, but he's got hype around him now. A lot of it and more so than he deserves. You'll be paying for a bit of hype like the Cubs and Cards paid for the hype of Heyward (lol)

I really think you could do better for Chapman and Miller.

As someone of a team who also needs a 3B I'm also a fan of Gallo. He's one of only a few that has a high ceiling and is near ready at third. He'll definitely need some patience (so maybe NYY isn't the best place for him lol) but you guys have enough to go out and get him for sure.

Batting champion? LOL based on what now stat boy? His .246 average last year? You do know the requirements of the batting champion, right?

Mel will say anything I swear




In b4 BABIP says he should be have hit .460 last year.

[SteezeFactory]

Speaking of 3B's, where in the fukk did Jake Lamb's power come from boyos? I always saw him as a 25HR ceiling guy and expected closer to 15-20 bombs and then he goes off and is second in the majors in slugging right now. Dude has been murdering the ball, leads all 3B in LD velocity. Apparently he changed his swing in the offseason...hopefully he keeps it up, him and goldie is a joocy combo. Too bad the pitching staff is a total dumpster fire and it's just another wasted season.

You sure bro? All that swing and miss in his game really screams future batting champ to me.

Ive loved lamb. He was jipped before and then got hurt that year..

Hes also better against lefties than they say. He hit lefties and righties equally in the minors. Hes a scapegoat for dbacks having too many players on their roster and getting playing time for drury

He should be starting against both

Yeah I saw his minor league stats were fine vs lefties, just never expected him to be out slugging the golden one at the halfway point in a season

cause he has an insane ability to put the bat on the ball

[krazy33]

what im surprised about is that i always thought his defense was elite.

when i looked at the numbers it looked like he was a detriment

could be sparse playing time, but i had always heard that he was a really good defender

[Julio49]

lol no

[Julio49]

RIP Clayton Kershaw

You had a decent career

[melanimal_old]

I watched Foltys start at work today. He is definitely progressing. The most enamoring thing about him is his ability to carry the velocity deep into games. He is a starter all the way and if he continues to progress with his command he has the ability to be a 1. Cant say the same for Wisler.

[Jyeatbvg]

RIP Clayton Kershaw

Oh lawd...


All those trade offers to Cheese and accompanying rejections just flashed through my mind.

[Julio49]

Brotha Jenkins solid outing.

Needs to cut down on walks but I'll take it.

He was my guy back in the spring. Was high on him, thought they'd give him an opening day rotation spot but they never gave him a chance to even pitch in spring.

Injuries and Blair sucking ass and here he is.

Whatever it takes I guess.

Hopefully they hold on for his first career W

[Julio49]

Granted nearly all his walks were to Votto


Edit:

And Johnson blows his win. Shocker..

[Julio49]

Also you mirin that beating heart of Minnesota Eduardo Nunez?

Still raking

Can't believe you contenders are literally gonna leave the best trade piece available untouched like this.

I know hes no Ryan Bruan in name or anything but man if I'm trying to win 2016 I don't know if there's a guy I'd rather have that was on the block in this league.


You know I'm gonna be showcasing him the next 3.5 weeks though so pepper yourself for lots of posts cause he's Mr multi-hit

[melanimal_old]

dang Rasmus just gunned down Semian at home on a 95 mph throw

Nice. Keeping runs off of Keuchel so I can continue to go in dry on Jyeatbvg this week

[Julio49]

U mirin Blake Snell owning Coors? Yeah u mirin

[Julio49]

Can't believe they blew Keuchel and Jenkins win last night.

Pretty crazy how most positional players can hit and have a fukkin cannon for an arm too. Just have to be a complete stud to get that far.

[saaltydog]

Houston Astros scouts watching Pineda pitch last night. Would lol hard @ Mel if Astros trade Bregman to the Yankees for Pineda and Chapman.
