**2015 MLB Season Thread: This is how the chapter ends (1 Viewer)

[Eephus]

Hamilton trade to the Rangers official. Nice move by Bogie's boys. Hope Josh can have success there again. Angels did not do right by him.

I hated this when it first came out Friday. After some time, and seeing that it's for low money, no players in return and easy for Texas to get out from under it, I hope Josh finds his security blanket here in Texas and makes LAAAAAA regret the move.

Pretty much a "no lose" situation for the Rangers. A relatively small gamble that he finds his groove back.

the only potential downside is if he ends up blocking somebody else but based on their COF production this year, that's not an immediate threat.

 

[RnR]

Shin-Soo Choo might be the bigger threat to that already on the roster. WTF happened to that guy?

He stinks worse than Kimchi right now

 

[Notorious T.R.E.]

Any chance in hell Correa gets called up if Lowrie is down for a while?

Thats what im curious about but AA to MLB seems tough? he's mashing in AA but striking out a bunch.

Would think you'd just see Marwin in the lineup.

Edit: With Dominguez or Villar called up. Probably Villar I guess.

Boo- when do you think we see Correa?

September maybe?

 

[shadyridr]

So Rafael Montero tonight or nah?

Marlins still mostly a hot mess without their best lefty bat (Yelich), fly ball pitcher in that big park... tentative yes

Yelich with back issues (bulging disc)...

isnt he like 12

 

[Swing 51]

Orioles-White Sox game will be played tomorrow afternoon ... but will be closed to the public. Wow. Can't remember the last time that's happened, or if it ever has.

Sportscenter says this will be the first time

Rays get 3 extra home games this weekend too.

With just slightly higher attendance than tomorrow's Orioles-Sox game.

I'm impressed that anybody goes to baseball games

I guess. I really enjoy watching teh Rays on tv but don't care much to go to their games or watch any other team on TV.

I would rather be stabbed than watch a Red Sox - Yankees game on ESPN.

 

[Raider Nation]

Tanaka's MRI showed a small forearm strain so he will be placed on the 15-day DL.

 

[Dickie Dunn]

What's the deal with 6:15 starts in Boston?

Just trying to start the games an hour earlier in April when the weather tends to be colder. Since the game probably still will last 4+ hours even with the new rules.

 

[Doctor Detroit]

Braun out of lineup again wtf?

yea something called "gerardo parra" is listed as batting third tonight. really weird.

Yeah I've had about enough of Braun already. Some "minor injury" has him out tonight, guy is terrible and needs to go on the DL. And when I say DL, I mean teh juise.

Made an appearance as a PH last night and promptly struck out. Thanks for contributing Braun!

Hit a homer tonight. I'm thinking about ordering a marching band and confetti to his residence tonight.

Just cut the arm off now and get it over with IMHO.

No way. Baseball in person is ####in drip torture.

 

[Raider Nation]

NHL is the best sport to watch in person by a mile.

College football then NHL IMO. But those two are close.

Well, if we're counting the entire experience... i.e., tailgating amongst beautiful coeds at The Grove, yeah.

Do we really need a corner in the ####### park that turns a 200 ft flyout into a home run.

No use bitching over Fenway's cute little amusement park. Nothing you can do about it.

Fortunately, the Jays are Tazawa's kryptonite.

Archie Bradley seems done

 

[Raider Nation]

Four Tim Mazzetti FGs.

 

[Raider Nation]

UGGGGGGGLA!!!

He'd be the ace in Boston

Nice 0-2 pitch, guy.

 

[Limp Ditka]

Over the last 5 years, teams with an 8 run lead have gone 1,031-5.

That's defying the odds.

I bet that's not true.

 

[Frostillicus]

Also, and it pains me to do this, but I agree with Dr. D. I love going to MLB games.

Dr. D = Dr. Dicklover, fyi.

 

[Raider Nation]

Associated PressSAN DIEGO - The Chargers came into this one with high hopes. Earl Campbell and the Oilers had other ideas. Bum Phillips unleashed his bruising back on the beleaguered San Diego defense, coming away with a convincing 14-3 road win. Campbell rushed for touchdowns of 4 and 21 yards, while Houston's improved defense surrendered only a Rolf Benirschke field goal.

 

[Frostillicus]

Danny Santana still looking for that elusive first walk of the year.

 

[Encyclopedia Brown]

Tom Tupa to Ricky Proehl.

I love hockey games as a live sporting event, college football can't be beat...but a baseball game is relaxing and just awesome. I'd probably choose it over most sporting events, but definitely over a ####### Buccaneers game.

The fact that Rolf Benirschke once briefly was the host of Wheel of Fortune is one of the great random things ever.

 

[Raider Nation]

He was pretty good at it too.

I support my hometown teams. The Bucs are terrible recently but you get to see other teams and smoking hot broads and come October the weather is nice. They won a super bowl since I've been buying tickets so I can't complain too much. Better than most teams.

 

[Long Ball Larry]

Sidenote: whenever I see Wheel of Fortune on, I marvel at Sajak's career. Been able to hold that gig for over 30 years doing nothing. Kind of incomprehensible. What a sweet life. Maybe second to the movie trailer announcer.

Who does less: Sajak or Vanna White?

He makes $12 million a year, she makes $8 million a year. Both pretty sweet gigs.

Is there an updated top prospects list? I am in a league with one minor league spot. I currently have Sano, but someone has dropped Buxton.

Small sample size but Sano and Buxton are batting .158 and .215 in AA this year. The Twins' affiliate in Chattanooga has three top 40 MiLB prospects on the roster with Jose Berrios.

This site compiled a bunch of different lists for a consensus ranking.

Schwarber already rostered? I mean c'mon.
