STAC Goat posted:Judge is hitting like poo poo right now, swinging and missing like crazy, and basically doing everything wrong he was doing right in the first half. The fact that he hit an outside pitch out to opposite field is good though, means he isn't pulling off nearly as much as he has been.

Steven Souza Jr. hit the Rays’ first walk-off dinger since 2014  Unfortunately the offense has scored 2 runs in 27 innings.

Carlosologist posted:so the Dodgers are gonna be 79-32 after they finish off the Mets, which made start thinking about their chance to set the win record. The current mark is 116, so they need to go 38-13 the rest of the way to get to 117. that's a winning percentage of .745, which is actually lower than their current win percentage over the last 51 (.862). As of now, they're on pace for 115 wins. if they went 26-25 the rest of the season they'd still win 105 games, which is absurd! After 111 games, the 2001 Mariners were 80-31, and the Dodgers are 79-32. We've seen more unlikely things than a team gaining two games in the standings in the final two months. The modern (post-deadball) record for wins in the NL is 108, set by the 75 Reds and 86 Mets. That one seems close to a lock to be topped by this team.

Tom Gorman posted:Boog Powell is apparently 75 years old, has osteoporosis and the physique of Dusty "The American Dream" Rhodes, this is a bad trade for the A's imo Well the A's didnt really lose anything for him so w/e, good trade for Beane Kind of odd for the M's tho, sure he's a batting upgrade over our current 1b but not by a ton, and he's just a 2 month rental

got any sevens posted:Well the A's didnt really lose anything for him so w/e, good trade for Beane you have the 2nd-lowest OPS by first basemen in MLB and your prime 1B can't hit righties, and you added a guy who is hitting righties at .286/.391/.557. whether you platoon or just start alonso it's a significant upgrade and all it cost was a PED junkie with an A+ baseball name whose ceiling, from what I've read, is "guy bad teams have to pretend can play center field" Yonder's probably not as good as he was in May or something but it's not like some crazy BABIP thing. He makes way less contact and strikes out way more but hits for more power, because that's what he's trying to do now. Anyway some young A's are doing cool stuff this year but since the entire roster turns over every three years it's hard to get too attached. Matt Chapman will make a fine Yankee in 2020.

N:(from rotoworld.com) Jon Morosi of MLB.com reports that the Tigers and Astros have been in touch this month regarding a possible Justin Verlander trade. Morosi cautioned that he's "unsure if there is momentum in talks." The 34-year-old Verlander has already cleared revocable waivers this month, so the Tigers are free to negotiate with all 29 teams. Trading him remains difficult, as he's owed $60 million through 2019. It's unclear if the Tigers are willing to cover any of his remaining salary. Verlander owns a mediocre 4.20 ERA over 21 starts this season, though he has pitched much better in his recent outings. V: Liriano sucks and all the local shaming by the fans & media (and even Keuchel) is causing Ludnow to make it right?? MrMidnight fucked around with this message at 14:09 on Aug 7, 2017 |

The Red Sox have been playing good and entertaining baseball recently and that makes me very happy. Adding Nunez and Devers has surpassed my wildest expectations.

MrMidnight posted:N:(from rotoworld.com) Not that I expect Verlander will actually get moved but if he did I think it would just be a mistake. There's no way we wouldn't end up eating half his salary and we'd lose one of the few pieces of good homegrown talent that Detroit has had lately. Detroit won't be relevant again for another 5 years at least, let's hold onto something that the fans can enjoy.

I feel like a failure of a fan for turning off yesterday's game when Beltran came up in the 9th with one out and the bases loaded. I just assumed a GIDP Granted, he did ground out, but it was just a FC and then the rally happened. Oh my god Bregman smoked that ball

chilihead posted:Seriously? Baseball is weird man. Baseball is the best sport simply for the weirdness of it. A hitter can do everything right at the plate, put one over the fence, but the OF could leap and pull it back in resulting in an out, but the next guy could have an excuse me swing, hit the ball 30 feet, and end up on first base.

If you don't want the CF to make a leaping catch at the wall to rob you of a home run, just hit the ball harder. Duh

bawfuls posted:Probably not. But they will win more than any previous Dodgers team and I'm pretty stoked about that. They need to go 38-13 the rest of the way to break the record, which is actually better than their current winning percentage but considering the start they got off to and how they've been playing the last couple of months... e: What I mean is they got off to a slow start and have actually been playing better than their ridiculous .712 winning percentage
