    A's acquired Adam Dunn

    I want to like this move, but this smells of desperation.

    It's basically an admission that trading away Cespedes hurt the offense way more than the As would care to admit.

    Also hahaha eat shit As.

    Yeah isn't Dunn like the complete antithesis of a Beane guy?

    The Yankees are back to nine games behind the Orioles. they will now proceed to win the next four games to troll the shit out of Goose.

  • Goose!Goose! That's me, honey Show me the way home, honeyRegistered User regular
    No trolling at all. Just awaiting for the AL East to be done by the end of the divisional playoff round.

    Also, Dunn walks, hits home runs, and strikes out. Isn't that what moneyball started as, the 3 true outcomes?

    honestly, Dunn fell off my radar after his god awful season from a couple years ago. I didn't realize his OBP had climbed back up as it did. Also, you may very well be right about the Orioles in the division round - but they will be there.

    Orioles acquire Alejandro De Aza.

    Meh

    Orioles acquire Alejandro De Aza.

    Meh

    Yeah, they got Kelly Johnson too, basically he is third string at this point.

    Thanks to someone going on a giant binge of posting stolen nude celebrity pics, including a bunch of Kate Upton, I have now seen naked Verlander ass.

    Well, after looking at what the Cubs did while I was asleep... yeah, it's pretty close

    I hear there's a lot more, including chicks that aren't Kate. If so, he just blew it big time.

    Dear Zen,

    Look at it this way, at least this matchup happened the way it did this week, and not 2 weeks from now (as the current standings tonight had us in line to go 1 on 1 in the Quarterfinals).

    at least the Cubs' prospects are getting to play in the majors right now

    Buxton and Sano's injuries stopped any chances of that happening this season, they've just been snake bit in that regard

    Vargas has been fun to watch though, he hits the ball pretty hard

    I dread having to see a 2015 lame duck season by Gardy, but that's what its pretty much been the last 2 years

    Yeah, it's nice to have something to get excited about this year. I mean, I knew they'd eventually start moving forward, but it's really cool to see it actually start to happen. It's been a rough...god, six years, since they last made the playoffs

    So are we feeling 2016 is the big step forward year for the Twins?

  • HjorvarthrHjorvarthr Registered User regular
    it depends on Gardy's future replacement


    I think a wholesale change is needed, or else it'll be the same shit

    There was reports that the coaching staff and the GM were at odds on different things with the team. That's probably why the bench coach is also gone.

    Combined no-hitter in Philly today.

  • FortyTwoFortyTwo strongest man in the world The Land of Pleasant Living Registered User regular
    Came up short this year, but considering I was picked to be the worst team in the league by far - I will take it.

    Yeah, my team just fell apart. A down year from Cabrera wounded me then the injury to Goldschmidt is what finished me off.

    What the fuck? Ben Revere had 5 rbis today?

    What the fuck? Ben Revere had 5 rbis today?

    Yahoo's been acting up all day. It said Panda had an RBI 5 hours before his game even started, and my benched pitcher who started yesterday throwing 3 strikeouts 8 hours before his game even started.

    The Giants/Rockies game from before actually started back in May. They just played the last three innings today.

  • Goose!Goose! That's me, honey Show me the way home, honeyRegistered User regular
    I think it said they'll appear for today, then go back to the week they were supposed to be.

  • SchideSchide Yeoh! Registered User regular
    The same thing happened last week or so when they played that suspended Cubs game. All the stats were tacked on again for the next day then there was a big batch of stat corrections a few days later.

  • Raijin QuickfootRaijin Quickfoot I'm your Huckleberry YOU'RE NO DAISYRegistered User, ClubPA regular
    No, Ben Revere actually had 5 rbis

    My team has put up better offensive numbers today then I have the last couple of weeks.

    From last place to a playoff spot.

    Not liking my chances of holding to 4th but whatever. This season was a success despite all that went wrong from the midway point on.
