That's great, Bryce Harper is great, and I hope a bunch of Braves fans are really angry about this.

oh it's gonna happen. can't have a ~veteran~ on this team without Colletti giving him a start... Or three.

speaking of Correia, I spent a few minutes looking at his peripherals and boy howdy he is even worse than I loving thought

Pitching is the art of instilling fear.
The Dodgers have a proud tradition of having questionable #5 starters for the past couple of seasons now, in 2012 it was aaron harang, ted lilly, and nathan eovaldi, in 2013 it was chris capuano, josh beckett, and ricky nolasco, this season it's dan haren and roberto hernandez and paul maholm and kevin correia

Reminder that last year the Dodgers traded an actual baseball player for Drew Butera.

Clearly Terry Ryan knows the dark secrets of someone in the organization.

If Oakland finally wins the Series this year, the marketing campaign for that opossum is going to be out of control.

Quick, someone sketch up the A's "elephant on the ball" logo, but with an opossum.

Because they horribly mismanage everything, resulting in all the prospects eventually being busts. Let's call up this high-ceiling prospect to make his MLB debut for a spot start against the best team in baseball. Yeah, good plan guys, sure worked out well! :downsbravo:

He's not going to get better by wrecking AAA anymore. Even if he gets shelled in every start this year then you learn that he's probably a bullpen guy anyway, which was already an expected probability.

He has a lot of trouble repeating his delivery which is something you can cover up in the bullpen.

I don't think he was being mishandled at all, unless you want to argue that he should have been up a month ago (which I think is true, but he was also hurt for a month or so, so it doesn't bother me that much). Who cares what team he was facing.

People keep vandalizing my ID photo; I've lodged a complaint with HR
So why is Greinke giving up four runs a game in his last four starts? :iiam:

had Colletti had more confidence in Puig in centerfield he might have dealt Pederson for Price, but Puig had just started the position at that point.

Unless they changed it this month they still do the monkey thing pretty much every game (including when they're winning, i'm not sure what they're rallying from there). The monkey is Down With The Sickness.

With how over Rocket Raccoon is right now, a photoshop of a possum in galactic bounty hunter gear named something retarded like Awesome Opossum would probably sell, like, 10,000,000 shirts if you set up a stall outside O.co

Don't do that, though, because then you're outside O.co when the walls burst and you drown in a river of sluice water and human feces.

I think it's more that a very large amount of prospects simply can't hack it at the ML level. I really doubt they've been significantly worst than most organizations. Also the farm was barren until recently so you didn't really have any guys that could be mismanaged. I think you're just projecting the Hicks thing.
