Something seems wrong about that picture.

The toilets and floor look too clean to be a public sporting event and there is ads on the wall.

Jays deal Brett Wallace to the Astros for Anthony Gose.

Was kinda shocked to see this at first. Thinking about it though, I imagine the Jays are gonna move Lind to first once Overbay leaves, and have an outfield of Snider, Wells and Bautista with Lewis off the bench. Wallace has a lot of pop but is slow as fuck and terrible defensivley. Gose has a ton of speed which we lack outside of Mastronianni on the farm and is awesome with the glove. I can see what AA was doing there. Definitley a ballsy move that JP would never have done.

The Rangers still owe a couple of former/current Orioles players some money.

Quote:
• Mickey Tettleton, $1.4 million (right): Using that memorable narcoleptic stance, Tettleton hit 59 homers for the Rangers over two-plus seasons from 1995-97. Thirteen years later, the bill for his services rendered still hasn't come off the books.


• Mark McLemore, $970,051.97 (and not a penny less!): The old utility man has been retired since 2004 and hasn't put on a Ranger uniform since playing for the franchise's division winner in 1999. But he's still due a nice sum that's just a bit bigger than the Social Security check he won't be seeing for awhile.



• Kevin Millwood, $12.9 million: The pitcher was traded to the Baltimore Orioles in the offseason. But let's presume he left behind a forwarding address just in case anyone found an extra $13 million lying around.
They also still owe A-Rod about 25 million.

Hey I got a question...

...I remember that back in the day, in the 90's-early 2000's, nobody in the Home Run Derby hit alot of home runs in a single round...I think the record for a while was 13 by McGwire in '99...the Home Run Derby winner would win with just 8-10 homers in each round...but nowadays, we have guys hitting 10, 15, 20 homers in a single round...and to ME, that's weird, because the 90's is a big part of what is called "The Steroid Era", and the guys everyone associates with steroids (McGwire, Sosa, Canseco, Bonds) were active...yet none of them hit as many home runs in the HR Derby as some guys do today, when supposedly the Steroid issue is being taken care of...

...why do u think this is?

They changed the rules a few years ago that switched from only taking top 2-4 hitters per individual round to accumulated HRs over the entire contest. It ended up changing how batters played the derby since now if you have a dominating 1st round, you would need less in the 2nd round regardless if 2 other players hit more in the 2nd round than you.

In 1999 those derby hitters were not just hitting home runs but demolishing distances and the Green Monster since it was assumed leading to the contest the Green Monster might cut down on the total number of home runs. Once one guy managed to get it over the Monster it became a game of who could launch it over the farthest and into the next street.

Yeah, but in '08 Josh Hamilton had 28 in ONE ROUND at Yankee Stadium...

...it's just weird to me that in ONE ROUND we have guys now hitting so many HR's, when in the 90's, the most one guy hit was 13 in one round, and it was McGwire at Fenway (a right handed hitter vs the Green Monster...short distance). It's just weird that during the steroid era no one was hitting 15, 20, 28 HR's, yet now they ARE, when the steroid issue is being taken care of, and when we have seen 5 no hitters this season.

I've seen Girardi do it a couple times since he's been here. But he micromanages to the extreme sometimes so its not really that surprising. Been far too many games I've seen where the Yankees will be up by 10 runs and Girardi will still be playing detailed matchups and using lefties for one batter and stuff like that.

Has he ever done it when the score was close? I would love to see what would happen if he did it and the Yanks blew the lead and the game went into extras. People would flip.

This is because back then the players were juiced, but not the baseballs. I think they started making the baseballs a bit smaller and tailored for pop to appeal to the fans.
That's pretty obvious considering McGwire held the record with 13 homers in a home run friendly Fenway park, and then guys with far less prolific power started hitting 25 regularly.
It was at it's worse in the early 2000s. That's probably because the balls and players were both juiced.
Now it's mainly just the baseballs.

Occasionally I suppose, but not often at all. It's pretty rare that you'd want all your outfielders in the lineup over the designated hitter. I don't think I've seen it happen any time recently elsewhere.
The Yankees are probably one of the only teams you would see that happen with currently, because of what their outfield and DH situation is. Their outfield is pretty strong, and they don't really have a lot riding on the DH spot like lots of teams do in the AL.

Has he ever done it when the score was close? I would love to see what would happen if he did it and the Yanks blew the lead and the game went into extras. People would flip.
It's probably because the majority of the Yankees offensive threats are in the infield, and taking the DH out of the equation for a defensive replacement wouldn't take a huge component out of the lineup.
Texiera and A Rod are still in there. With other teams you'd probably be taking a middle of the lineup guy out, so you'd get second guessed way more.

Nah I meant the possibility of having to pinch hit for the pitcher in an AL ballpark.

Maybe I'm a little fickle, but the 2 deals the D'Backs have done so far I would say have netted them fair value. Daniel Hudson plus other pieces was what I was expecting for Haren. and they got that plus Joe Saunders and cleared Edwin Jackson off the books.

I've always liked Jackson, but he was way too inconsistent for me this year. I think the Sux will use him to get the Donkey.

Yeah, I remember a couple times where Mariano was in the lineup because of moves like that. Usually never came down to him getting up to bat, and if it did he's pinch hit for him.

So Adam Dunn is too hot of a target. What does Cashman do? Go after Lance Berkman. Word is we ain't giving up too much.

Yankees close to acquiring Berkman. Hasn't been amazing this year but still better than what we've had going through the DH spot. Hopefully he can get hot these last couple months.

Apparently its no big prospects and basically salary relief and some minor guys so seems like a good deal.

Jeter
Swisher
Tex
A-Rod
Cano
Berkman
Posada
Granderson
Gardner

Pretty stacked lineup, especially if Granderson can keep up his solid hitting as of late.

Sort of surprised Yankees were able to get him for almost nothing for this season since Astros are paying $4 million out of the $7 million deal and don't get anyone of "quality" to replace his bat (even if he's having a down year). ESPN is reporting Astros might even be paying for part of his option salary next year as well but not confirmed.

Berkman is being traded on the condition that the Yankees dont pick up his option for next year.

This Reds vs Braves game is pretty intense. Braves up early. Then Reds take over. Then Braves go up. Then Joey Votto hits a solo shot to tie it up going in to the ninth.


THIS is the kind of game I love and the reason I love the sport.


it makes it better that they are both division leaders ~!

So the deal is Mark Melancon and Jimmy Parades for Berkman. Parades wasn't in their top 30 prospects and Melancon was around #15. I think Melancon's gonna be a solid bullpen arm, but for some reason he's struggled this year. Also 25 years old, so not a huge loss. Yankees kind of killed his confidence the past couple years in the way they handled him. Never really got much of a shot in the bigs so a change of scenery should do him good.

Still, pretty absurd that the Astros traded their two best players and really haven't gotten anything significant in return. I guess they turned one of those players around and got Wallace but that seems like it. Not to mention the fact they're paying more than half of Berkman's salary and some of Oswalt's.

Seems like the Astros just waited too long to trade these guys and rebuild. It should have happened two years ago.

And don't forget about Tommy Hunter. The dude is like 8-0 with a 2 ERA. The guy is young but that's pretty damn good with a rotation with Lee/Johnson/Hunter. You might as well not even have a World Series. Just wrap up the World Series trophy and send it to Texas now.
