And lots of outfield adventures.

Not sure how many people around here still subscribe to BP but Sam Miller's leaving to join ESPN in October which also leaves the fate of Effectively Wild up in the air since I'm guessing ESPN and The Ringer don't play well together. In related news, are there any other daily baseball podcasts that aren't ESPN sponsored that are worth listening to?

Do we think that ESPN would forbid Sam Miller from doing something with an employee of The Ringer even if that something is
1) unaffiliated with The Ringer (Lindbergh does a Ringer MLB podcast on it's own now)
2) self-funded via patreon supporters

Hi have you heard of a place called Coors Field?

Also it's worth noting that if you claim someone on those waivers, the waiving team can be like "okay he's yours" and put you on the hook for the rest of the player's deal and there's nothing you can do about it. Hence a player clearing waivers in August means nobody was willing to risk having that player dumped on them

And of course Puig was claimed quickly because his contract is still quite cheap.

These same people actively sought out and acquired already-injured and oft-injured pitchers then wonder why their pitchers are always hurt though, so

And the pitchers they did this with, collectively have been quite effective. So effective that the Dodgers are in first place!

N: Toles is not in the lineup tonight for the Dodgers.

V: Why.

Sydin posted:

Meanwhile in the majors he's 3-for-3 with two singles and a HR against lefties.

I guess I get it, but he's been on fire and outperforming his minors numbers, plus he hit the game winning grand slam in their last game. Let the kid have a shot.

realtalk: Toles has a .455 BABIP and 25% HR/FB% right now. Platooning him against lefty starters is not unreasonable.

V: Jose de Leon is pretty great and has been on fire in AAA recently. His last four starts have all been 7 or more IP, 2 or fewer ER (0 in the last two games). He's struck out 7, 10, 10, & 13 batters in those games, and walked only 1 (in the first game). He will be making his debut at home against the Padres, should be fun!

Kershaw pitching Friday against the Marlins

If he hits the ground running he'll end up with 5 more starts before the season ends. I believe he'd need more than 8 IP on average to qualify for the ERA title. Guessing he won't be allowed to throw 8+ innings on Friday, but if he does manage to qualify I'd bet he wins the Cy Young. He won't get there because they won't let him, but he could get pretty close.

I suppose he could win it (CYA) on narrative if he gets 5 starts, is dominant in all 5, and two of them are against the Giants which help secure the divisional win.

Still super unlikely though

I mean there's an argument beyond narrative considering he'd be at or near the WAR lead in that scenario. That certainly would suggest his quality has been sufficient to make up for his lack of quantity.

Edwin Jackson of all people struck out 11 Red Sox in his start today.

Fucker.

I was there, it was awesome. Crowd was probably 75% Red Sox fans. I don't own any Padres stuff so I wore a Toronto cap. Jackson also had two excellent PAs where he saw a lot of pitches and drew walks.

Greinke gave up 8 runs and 5 dingers in his return to Dodger Stadium today. I'm becoming more and more convinced he's a brilliant Dodgers double agent. He fleeced a division rival for money, and is now tanking his value and in particular giving up runs to the Dodgers. Before long he will return to the LA, with Arizona eating a bunch of his contract. Then he will miraculously find his groove again.

win this weekend first, then you can get back to losing

also Kershaw v Fernandez is the free game of the day on MLB.tv today so you should go ahead and watch that starting in 10 minutes

also also, to reinstate Kershaw, the Dodgers placed Carlos Frias on the 60-day DL, officially setting a new record for most players sent to the DL in a season with 28.

Rich Hill has had a lot of trouble with blisters so the Dodgers are being conservative with him. It'll all be ok when he throws a perfecto in October instead

There were over 1000 Dodgers fans in the left field corner at Yankee stadium tonight, and apparently they did a roll call in the bottom of the first, so that's kinda cool. The only video I can find of it now though is a weak clip with YES commentators talking over it.

Apparently the Yankee brass is pissed at the ticket office for allowing the Dodger supporter group to buy that block of tickets last night lol

Pantone 294 has done the same thing at probably a dozen stadiums over the past couple years. I think last night was the largest group yet, but they've had 500+ quite a few times in the past.

I think the Royals are pretty much done for the year wrt to playoffs so the universe appears to have once again found its sense of balance. It is basically next year or bust and then we're looking at a long dark hole of mediocrity again, probably.

On the plus side I get to choose my bandwagon playoff team for this year. I'm leaning towards the Rangers. They're my girlfriend's team, they seem fun, they hit baseballs far, Cole Hamels and Lucroy are cool, I've watched them quite a bit because they're on local TV here, and Beltre deserves a world series.

I am however open to other suggestions.

Dodgers are your obvious NL choice if you aren't interested in joining the overloaded Cubs bandwagon. It would be the best revenge for even year bullshit. The only other non-icky NL choice would be Washington, but really don't we all want to see Kershaw finally have the October he's supposed to have, killing that dumb narrative once and for all?

I genuinely like the AFL format and I think it could work really well for sports that don't want to have half their league make the playoffs while still giving the top teams a marked advantage

I'd be all about it in baseball if not for the fact that a week off could actually be a detriment to teams instead of a benefit. The NHL should adopt it immediately though.
