Scary stuff. Still in critical condition, but stable is the latest.

:(

Danny Farquhar will stay in the hospital for at least the next three weeks after having surgery to remove the swelling in his brain.

Farquhar suffered a hemorrhage in the sixth inning of Friday's game, and was rushed to the hospital after passing out in the dugout. He's currently listed as being in critical but stable condition, and reports indicate that more information isn't being released at the request of Farquhar's family.

Gotta believe the Astros are the heavy favorite with Cole dealing...huge acquisition.

And the way Keuchel, Morton, Verlander and Cole all re-energized their careers with the venue change, I can see a lot more FA SPs trying to get on board in the future

Are you saying free agents will choose Houston because a handful of other pitchers have been good there?  Come on.  Free agents don't choose their destination based on the pitching coach's spit ball philosophy.

Really hope he makes a quick recovery.  Scary stuff.

 
ESPN was using video game sound effects on every pitch Kenley Jansen threw Sunday night.  You've got to be kidding me.

Please, for the love of Vin Scully, do not let this stick.

 
Dave Roberts continues to be infuriating. Maeda through 6 at just 82 pitches, given up 1 run on 4 hits, Marlins 6-7-8 due up in top of 7th, his spot due up 3rd in the bottom half of the frame and he pulls him.

There is nothing here that makes baseball sense.

Looking over some of my rosters, I'm setting myself up for plenty of frustration as I actually have a team where I have every Dodgers pitcher besides of Kershaw.

He’s playing a AAA team today but it was nice to finally put him in the starting lineup, after sitting on him 2+ years in Dynasty: :wub:

Along these lines, I cannot for the life of me see MLB expanding by two teams.  There aren't enough good players right now to fill 30 teams.  Can you imagine the 5 man rotations for some teams if they go to 32?  

Portland As are going to be fun to watch in a few years.  New stadium is going to take a page out of AT&T park where balls will sail into the mighty Willamette River.  I cannot wait for MLB to Portland.

 
I think tanking is a bigger problem then not enough talent to go around. Even if there were 20 extra SPs dropped out of the sky the bottom 5 teams would be content to ignore them, pay nothing, win 60 games, and draft top 5. 

 
We are definitely seeing a shift in impact youth will have on a roster. Those draft picks are coming up much sooner, so the urge to tank is stronger. It's starting to look more like the other big sports. Next step is to allow untethered draft pick trades, that will really open the flood gates.

It's not a given that tanking works.  Seattle has been tanking for 15 years and look where they are.  You have to know what you're doing in the draft if want to tank.  Drafting is an inexact science in all sports but augmented in MLB.  

 
The Mariners have just been losing in spite of their best efforts and slightly above average payrolls over that period.  Losing and tanking are two different things.  It's much tougher to tank in baseball than basketball because of larger rosters, fewer can't miss prospects and longer development cycles.

Tanking for draft order seems kind of pointless but minimizing expenses during build cycles makes sense, particularly for low revenue teams like Tampa and Oakland.

I don't see the M's as tanking. Over the last 4-5 years, they've signed the likes of Cruz and Cano to long term, pricey contracts. That was done to compete now. Before that it was acquiring Cliff Lee and signing the likes of Chone  Figgins.

Agreed. Seattle never tanked
