    He truly is the neverending story

    The Pirates also included Reese McGuire in the Liriano theft deal abject salary dump.

    This hurts.

  • SchideSchide Yeoh! Registered User regular
    Seriously if the Pirates' financials are so dire that they needed to give away two decent prospects for limited salary relief, then that says a lot more negative about the Pirates’ future than the actual trading of the prospects.

    They still got glasnow, along with a young outfield thats arguably the best outfield out there. It doesn't help that the NL Central is always super competitive, but they'll work their way back up

  • SchideSchide Yeoh! Registered User regular
    Well yes, they didn't trade any of their top...6 or so prospects, so it's not like total gloom and doom. It's just concerning, is all.

    yasiel puig has abandoned the dodgers after learning he'd either be traded or optioned to minors soon

    it may be mutual but either way he is not flying with the team to colorado

    yeah it looks like he stormed off when told but was also told don't bother coming to colorado

    was misreported at first
    Puig’s agent, Adam Katz, and Dodgers officials said that my initial report — that Puig stormed off after arriving at Dodger Stadium and being given the news — was inaccurate.

    Looks like I'll only have Aaron Sanchez for 1 or 2 more starts before he's sent to the bullpen.

  • y2jake215y2jake215 certified Flat Birther theorist the Last Good Boy onlineRegistered User regular
    also danny duffy has a no-no and 9 k's through 4 innings on a manageable pitch count

    Even if it isn't doom and gloom, it's still a horrible sign to show fans considering the Liriano contract was the first really pick one they signed in the FA market (might be highest ever).

    Just makes no sense why the hell you would make that trade, especially including McGuire when he was your catcher of the future.

    I was fine with all the other moves, and then this one reaks.

    going into this season I can't say that I expected my best starting pitcher to be...kyle hendricks

  • Goose!Goose! That's me, honey Show me the way home, honeyRegistered User regular
    Great first day of the week for me: Danny Duffy goes 8 innings with just 1 hit, and 16 Ks and Max Kepler mashes 3 taters.

  • SchideSchide Yeoh! Registered User regular
    This sums up my feelings on the Liriano trade quite succinctly: http://www.bucsdugout.com/2016/8/2/12348320/on-the-pirates-disastrous-francisco-liriano-trade?_ga=1.64801071.1284038422.1469767702

    Who wants a young outfielder? I got plenty to spare.

    EDIT: I now own the entire Red Sox outfield.

    duffy got thirty-five swinging strikes tonight. jesus

    swings and misses, specifically. doesn't even include fouls.
    The numbers bear out the dominance and the quality of his stuff. From ESPN Stats & Info, the most swings and misses in a game in the past 15 years:

    1. Danny Duffy, Monday night: 35

    1. Clayton Kershaw, Sept. 2, 2015: 35

    3. Max Scherzer, May 11, 2016: 33

    3. Jeremy Bonderman, Aug. 23, 2004: 33

    5. Johan Santana, Aug. 19, 2007: 32

    how the hell is jeremy bonderman on that list

    Kinda disappointed the Tigers didn't get anyone at the trade deadline. Another starter would have helped immensely. Wouldn't have had to be someone amazing, just a 4th/5th starter.

    Pizzle gets Max Kepler and Jackie Bradley along with my 2017 20th round pick

    I get Lucas Giolito and Jurickson Profar

    I'm not sure what's sadder... That I lost the best player on my team or that the best player on my team was Trevor Story.

  • Goose!Goose! That's me, honey Show me the way home, honeyRegistered User regular
    Surgery on his thumb. Still, 27 home runs in 372 ABs is an impressive start. Definitely good enough for 2nd/3rd in the NL ROTY, depending on how Matz and Seager finish the year.

    With my best offensive player dead and my best pitcher being sent to the bullpen I'm basically fucked the rest of the year.

    red sox give up 5 runs in the 8th and lose 5-4, benintendi strikes out looking on 3 pitches to end game, then hanley ramirez injures his wrist slipping down the fucking steps to the clubhouse postgame

    not a great night

    Always liked Conforto, but I'm really worried with how the Mets are handling him.

    They also got intro'd to Edwin Diaz in his new closer role. And Diaz is inhuman right now.

    50 Ks in just over 25 innings - fastest to that number of any debut in the league since 1893.

    On one hand, GO MARINERS! I watched Diaz' first relief appearance and the whole time, just, holy FUCK.

    On the other hand, screw these god damned 4 and 2 game series.

    @Goose!

    Nola just got put on the DL and might be shut down for the year so if you want to cancel that trade I understand.

    Wow, my timing is impeccable.

    EDIT: If you wouldn't mind it, I think I would like to cancel it.
