Im bummed I liked Span and I was not ready to be hurt again so soon.

Otoh all the Rays writers on twitter seem to think it will be more fun when they promote even more prospects to replace Colome and Span so okay.

They have some good pitchers in AAA and I *guess* they just slot Gomez back into the outfield when he comes off the DL. Gomez/Mallex/Field seems... okay. Colome was pretty trash, I’m going to miss Span.

Apparently Alex Cora has a deal with Devers in which he gets a $50 every time he draws a walk. I like this dumb sort of gimmick and hope it works.

When it comes to pitchers, trade them when you can. Odds of them either getting hurt or in the case of a reliever, seeing their performance dip is too great. Cubs learned that lesson when they hung on to Garza for too long.

Tigers should have traded Michael Fulmer at the deadline but they were really dumb :(

I realize you're kidding but they lost to the red Sox who are probably the best team in baseball and dropped a series to the phillies which is probably an outlier considering the Braves have kicked their rear end all season.

I'm not worried yet until they start dropping to the Mets next week

All true, really should be grateful they scored three runs in the Philly series and still took a game. Last night I just found myself thinking this looks like a team that could use a day off before remembering they actually were off the day before.

Greg Holland was put on the DL with "having a BB/9 above 10"-itis

he turned down almost the same offer the Rockies gave to Wade Davis, it didn't have that 4th year attached to it.

Travis Shaw?

Sean Casey is the only Mayor of baseball. Shaw barely even plays first base how can he be the Mayor? And only 73 career ding dongs at that.

That is a cool bobblehead though.

I think it's odd that so many of the players like ketchup on their hot dogs, but then again they're from all over so it's not that surprising. Furthermore...

Intruder posted:

This: it doesn't matter what other people put on their own food because they're the ones who have to eat it, not you. By all means, put all the mayo & ketchup you want on your hot dog.
