T Joseph's home run count now stands at 1.

 

[Karl Hungus]

This has been known since the season started basically. Fredi is not a good manager. He should go take a couple months off and come back as a bench coach or one of those special consultant type deals for a team. Hopefully the braves will find someone that can handle the young talent coming up well

Lol, what was he supposed to do with that collection of shitheads? Win?

Braves front office is pulling a WBL-esque tanking effort and they fire the manager.

Khris Davis hits 3 HR tonight including a walkoff grand slam after Danny Valencia hit 3 HR with a GW 2-run shot on Sunday. I luv jonrónes

Because he wasn't a good manager when they had talent. If you don't want a guy as your manager moving forward, it doesn't matter how much talent he has.

SMDH Tolleson.

 

[Yankee151]

I'm sure the Yankees would be happy to give TEX Chapman for the low low price of one Mr. Joey Gallo

Agreed. It just gave them an excuse to be able to get rid of him.

[Mr. Radpants]

He's good.

Too bad all their arms are falling off.

 

[Mr. Radpants]

Syndergaard is easily my favorite of the Mets to watch pitch, dude is just nasty.

 

[GatorTD]

He is averaging 98 per fastball. That is fucking amazing.

 

[Yankee151]

Looks like Matt Harvey is dead now

 

[Wolfman21]

Harvey got that 40 stamina now due to injury

 

[Mr. Radpants]

Where are the people calling Harvey a pussy now? Shutdown haters?

That seems like a long way off but I welcome the news. Going to a Rangers game in July or August is a miserable experience.

In other Rangers news, I'm not optimistic that Sam Dyson is an improvement over Tolleson at closer. Maybe he'll surprise me, though.

As an Astros fan, I would prefer it if the Rangers stuck with Tolleson for the rest of the season. See if he figures it out...

My impression from the article is that they will move to the new park before the lease is up on Globe Life.

 

[Bdub]

Freddie was a terrible manager. He proved that when they where in the playoffs. Not to mention he ran pitchers into the ground and destroyed arms every year.

 

[Mr. Radpants]

I love that the Mets fans boo Harvey off the mound when he's probably injured and the Mets made tons of errors and boneheaded plays behind him to extend that inning.

[goblue96]

JP Crawford promoted to AAA Lehigh Valley.

 

[goblue96]

It's been talked about ad nauseam, but still worth noting: the Phillies are on a...

95 win pace based on their 24-17 record so far -- 3rd best in the NL
67 win pace based on their run differential -- 3rd worst in the NL

[Yankee151]

If only there existed a 3-sided shape to explain this, but that'd be absurd @Orlando

 

[Orlando]

It doesn't explain it tho

 

[Yankee151]

I know, it'd be absurd if it did

 

[Orlando]

Stepping away from shtick, I really do think it's a dumb way to over simplify baseball.

 

[goblue96]

Agreed. I've been expecting some regression to the mean for the Phils. 14-3 in 1-run games and 4-0 in extra games.

Maybe someone should create a win predictor based on oWAR and dWAR.

 

[Mr. Radpants]

I think it's an oversimplification but not a dumb oversimplification.

 

[R2D2]

Doubt the Phillies actually win 90 games. More likely that they'll be in the 80-85 range though.

 

[mongoose]

Philly is a fucking shit hole. Just cruised through and I pitied every poor soul that got off on the stop

 

[Wolfman21]

Haha...phillies. Just got dumped on 7-1 by the Braves

 

[John Locke]

Is it too late to contract the Twins?

Just appeasing Pythagoras. They're taking a couple blowout losses to get the triangles aligned, then they'll be on pace to win the NL.

 

[Wolfman21]

its actually waht they've been doing all season. Win by 1, lose by 5. Its why they have the almost worst run differential in the league with a winning record.

 

[Mr. Radpants]

Oh right, triangles further unaligned. Sorry, geometry is tough, that's why Pythagoras was so smart

 

[goblue96]

Philly says "get fucked Pythagoras"

 

[bruin]

Pads fans still paying attention?

that's right, it's not June yet..

 

[Orlando]

Hey, at least we are self aware and know we are irrelevant. Can't say the same for Doyer fans.

 

[Mr. Radpants]

Marlins > Dodgers

 

[bruin]

the Dodgers are irrelevant? That's a new one.

 

[Orlando]

Exactly

 

[silverwheels]

Yeah, I've been to a Rangers game and had soccer tournaments in DFW in August and it's brutal. Sucks that their current stadium is only 20-ish years old, but Arlington in the middle of summer is too damned hot.

Easy solution: Contract Twins and Rangers into one team. April-June games in Arlington. July-September games in Minneapolis. All playoff games in Arlington.

 

[Yankee151]

Awesome:

 

[GatorTD]

I want one.

 

[Mr. Radpants]

Might EBay that.

 

[worst2first]

In a shocking development, the Rangers' bullpen has looked decent the last few games. On the other hand, they are finishing a series with the lAstros.
