Every night before I go to sleep I recite the list of pitchers who failed me: Jose Quintana, Kevin Gausman, Kenta Maeda.

Yeah, wtf is wrong with Maeda?

And add Hendricks to that list too.

I have no clue. His K/99 and BB/9 are almost identical, I guess he's just getting shelled.

I had a dream last night that Kevin Gausman got sent down to AAA, and then I checked the box score this morning and he already gave up 4ER.

Bryce Harper getting the day off at Coors, nooooo.

Also Christian Arroyo is getting called up for the Giants, he's been hitting .446/.478/.692 at AAA.

Christian Arroyo is decent average no pop and just some speed, making his debut at 21.

So uh, have fun.


Edit: in a garbage lineup in a pitchers' ball park

So what you're saying is he's going to lead the Giants to the postseason.

There's some Mariners homer with Taylor Motter and Mitch Haniger and he's probably winning every week.

Edit: and Mitch Haniger just pulled his oblique :(

Justin Wilson is likely to take over for Detroit, because K-Rod isn't doing it anymore. I think Detroit gives him a long leash but he's doomed.

rest of season in an obp league: avila or wieters?

avila's hard hit rate and plate discipline have both improved dramatically. has something really changed with him? wieters looks pretty good too and will probably get more pa, though seems more likely to be injured.

Avila isn't concussed anymore and isn't playing catcher as often. The problem is once Cabrera's back Avila won't be manning first base. Then again Victor Martinez might be officially done (or injured) which would mean Avila is back in the lineup.

Avila was once a really good bat, but he was overused like crazy and never recovered from concussions/bad knees. He might actually be a decent DH.

Great day.

In the past 24 hours I've had 4 DTDs and 1 DL. Trout and Harper sting the worst of the bunch. I have Paxton on every single team and I've been thrilled with him, sigh.

I play in a fantasy league with a bunch of old guys (seriously 50s-70s) and it's so fun. They've been doing the league for more than two decades (they had to literally phone in transactions and each monday the weekly results went out in snail mail. The draft is always fun because it's just old dudes talking poo poo to each other.

Anyway, I won the league last year but Jose Fernandez loving died so that sucked.

This year I'm in first again, except 3/5ths (we start five SP, rosters lock weekly) of my rotation (Thor, Kluber, Paxton) are down for the count.

I'm trying to decide what's worse. I mean at least they're all still alive?

I did a fantasy league with my brother and my dad in the mid 90s and it involved me going to the convenience store every Monday to pick up a Baseball Weekly and tabulate the prior week's winners. It was hilarious how much work it required.

There are like 3-4 players who go through massive slumps and then will singlehandedly win you weeks all by themselves. Stanton, Carlos Gonzalez, Justin Upton.

Just don't draft more than one and you're completely fine. CarGo will go off as soon as some pundit writes about how he's finished as a player and the front office should have traded him for pitching at last year's deadline.

Out of curiosity. What are the odds k rod returns as a closer? I had him before, already picked up replacement and kinda want the extra slot to stream/find another closer (maybe dbacks? Bradley?)

His demise reminds me of Jose Valverde's. The Tigers don't have a good bullpen and them doing this is because they've exhausted all other options/attempts to retain him.

I knew Kenta Maeda could do some unreal things, but this is a new one

code:

He is so weird this year. He's missing bats and striking out a ton of dudes and then giving up fluke dingers. His cutter is nice.

Anybody needing a Catcher should consider James McCann. He seems to be figuring out the whole hitting thing.

Him and Avila are taking turns raking.

Who the gently caress is Ian Happ? I can't keep up with you kids and your flashy new prospects like Amed Rosario and Cody Bellinger.

Going to just sit back here and enjoy Matt Kemp being good until he gets hurt again because he should be DH'ing instead of playing in the National League.

Have you heard about this Aaron Sanchez fellow? He's rivaling Rich Hill in the blister and fingernail department.

Also at this rate Kevin Gausman is going to win the Cy Young with a 6.50 ERA because he's simply healthy.
