Was looking for Sano's latest homer, found this instead: Paul Goldschmidt hustles in to field a bunt down the first-base line and nearly scoops up a bird in his glove that was resting on the field http://mediadownloads.mlb.com/mlbam/mp4/2017/06/07/1472395283/1496816966099/asset_1800K.mp4

Went to the Yankees game tonight, my friend's girlfriend gets really good seats in the 200 through work. After some shittalking of Chris Carter, I'm sitting there telling my friend about how Ice Fist is coming to town for the Brewers series. Guy in the row in front of me who was ribbing Carter with me asks if I already got tickets, so I tell him no, I was just gonna get them seek of on StubHub. Dude offers to just sell me his season tickets for the seats he's in, face value. Then gives me his e-mail and says with a week's notice he's willing to sell 'em whenever. So I think I've got "a guy" now? Either way, it was cool.

The Astros officially can't win the Royals series, so they've won every series this season except the two against the Indians and the two against the Royals gently caress both those teams

http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/umpires-are-having-some-trouble-with-aaron-judge/quote:This season, 41% of pitches on the lower edge and just below the strike zone are being called as strikes against Judge (75 called strikes of 183 pitches in examined location). For MLB hitters as a whole, it’s a 24.3% rate (9,300 called strikes of 38,193 pitches in examined location). Imagine how much better he would be with a regular strike zone.

 If the domestic violence allegations about Russell turn out to be true and the Cubs don't immediately get rid of him in response, I will take applications for a new team to root for. I'm not rooting for another wife beater. I'd rather root for Ryan loving Braun.

quote:KANSAS CITY -- The Astros have called up right-handed pitcher Francis Martes, ranked as their No. 1 prospect according MLBPipeline.com, a source confirmed for MLB.com. Martes is expected to help the Houston's beleaguered bullpen in a long-relief role. That doesn't really sound like a guy who will be much help (2.10 WHIP jesus)

Has any team ever immediately released a player in a situation like this? Or, if/when a player has admitted it? The Mariners suspended Julio Mateo and then optioned him to AAA when he was charged with domestic assault, but that's the closest I can remember. He never pitched in the majors again, but he wasn't exactly released either.

They didn't release him immediately, but they did very quickly start looking for trade partners and, when they couldn't find any, got rid of him even though they had to eat his $30m+ contract. I guess I should amend to say they should at least immediately start putting the wheels in motion to dump him. John Wilkes Booth posted:root for the south siders I'd actually probably be okay with this since the current iteration of the ChiSox looks young and fun, except for the fact that my immediate family would probably disown me on the spot.  Hopefully at least the abuse part of the allegations turn out to be not true.

that's a lot of faith in what is, at its core, a business that would hurt its bottom line by dropping a player who could help them win like, not following teams because they have lovely people on them is certainly noble, but you'd be left with no team to root for. the same goes for watching movies or listening to music

Obviously every team has it's shitters, it's just hard in general to assemble a group of 25 people who are all shining beacons of human virtue. I can put up with lovely people, see Exhibit A John Lackey. I can for the most part disassociate players on the field from who they are personally, but for me domestic abuse crosses a line where I can no longer do that.

If there's one thing I appreciate about the Mariners it's they get rid of toxic players pretty quickly, sans Josh Lueke because Jack Z had to save face on that terrible trade.

Even then, a lot of it had to do with the fact that Trevor Story was playing better than Reyes had been, so the Rockies had no on-field reason to hold on to him.
