N: I had a dream last night that there was someone going around shooting up a hotel I was staying at because they were annoyed at the amount of media coverage Aaron Judge was getting for participating in the HR Derby.

V: I probably spend too much time on baseball Twitter. :ohdear:

This article is about a lot of things, including/especially the prospect of using Noah Syndergaard as a reliever while he gets back in pitching shape, but

quote:

Only after Harvey went on the disabled list did doctors discover that the muscles behind his right shoulder were roughly half the size of those on his left, Warthen said.

What the gently caress is this? How is it even possible to not notice something like this semi-immediately?

That was great.


Does anybody have a Facebook friendly clip of that announcer going "That ball is long gone like an ex girrrrllllfffrrriiiiend?"

Is YouTube Facebook-friendly enough?

Re: rivalry-chat, I have always found it much easier to LIKE teams in the NL East than to hate them...except for the Braves. I will always hate the Braves.

It's weird, because I like individual players on the team and I rooted for Folty to get that no-hitter, but I still hate the team as a whole. I understand that I'm supposed to hate the Nats now too, but I refuse to hate a team with Bryce Harper and Max Scherzer on it (edit: unless one or both of them gets traded to the Braves).

I feel some kind of way about Zack Cozart naming his donkey Donald. He says he named it after the duck, but who knows?

EDIT2: Ok the saga is complete. A-Rod needs to come back so that helmets are safely corralled on all walk-offs.

SASwiki needs to come back so this can be under the comical injury section.

Also, poor guy. :ohdear:

How does the rest of the league feel about Yu Darvish. In Texas it's like there is an island of ranger fans who see how incredible he is, surrounded by a sea of idiot mouth breather who post poo poo like "Ace stuff not Ace tuff!" on their Facebook.

I just hope he goes somewhere that he is more appreciated.

Yu Darvish is fantastic. The only problems I have with him are as follows:

-he plays outside my time zone, so I rarely have the opportunity to watch his games
-I don't understand his Instagram posts' captions
-he is married to someone other than me

He'd be even lower stress in the Astros rotation as the fifth starter behind Keuchel, McCullers, Peacock and Mike "no hit the Dodgers" Fiers :getin:

Has something happened to Charlie Morton? :ohdear:

Matheny said of his players that talked ahead of him at Christian Day, “For them to share something that isn’t politically correct anymore, something that isn’t publicly acceptable, for them to stand up here and to share … takes a great amount of courage.”

Every time I hear about Christian Day, I keep thinking that the Cards have called up some prospect named Christian Day. Then I remember the ugly truth.
