Around the Majors, 7/24/14

Oakland is leading Houston 4-1 after four innings. It could have been more, but Brandon Moss grounded out with the bases loaded to end the fourth.

 

Philadelphia avoided a four-game sweep by the Giants with a 2-1 win.

Storman had a no-no broken up on a bloop single in the 7th

Beat Sherzer or fall 3 back

9-1 A's

[WallyWorld]

Houston took 1 out of 3 against Oakland.  That's about all that could realistically be expected.

Beat Sherzer or fall 3 back

9-1 A's

 

It's actually called "Beat Richards or who gives a **** we play in the Central"

[Hollyw00d]

Philly is trying unload Ryan Howard and is willing to pay most of his salary. Maybe Seattle?

[fan_since79]

Brandon Moss today with the bases loaded is 1-2. A ground out and a grand slam.

 

Now 13-1 Oakland.

The A's must lead the league in grand slams

MLB Network said Brandon Moss had 3 this season which is more that 21 entire teams.

Jim Johnson gets the boot out of Oakland. Billy is getting serious

I'm a little surprised he didn't try to get something for him

I'm sure he did. The dude gave up a hit the Bartolo Colon. That should tell you where his trade value was at. Edited July 25, 2014 by HaloMagic

I'm guessing the A'ths BA with the bases juiced in 2014 is >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> the Halos'.

Seattle just traded for Morales today.  Kind of the same thing, though Morales can be shitty from both sides of the plate.

[Season Over]

Wait, so you're telling me Oakland won??

 

Get out of town.

We acquired him for a broken reliever. Relievers are things the M's do not need, especially ones who lost 6 mph on their fastball.

 

Not a huge risk. Kendrys had no Spring Training really ... I guess the M's used the Twins as Spring Training. Kendrys has been hitting as of late.

Cleveland and Kansas City have a double perfect game going. No baserunners for either team through four innings.

 

edit: and a minute after I posted this, Cleveland gets a hit.

@Ken_Rosenthal: Sources: #Angels unlikely to add SP pre-7/31. Wilson expected back early Aug. Team has some $$$; would prefer not to trade more prospects.

SMOKESCREEN!

C'mon down Pricey!

Indians' Corey Kluber perfect through five innings in Kansas City.

Talks of out-right releasing him. Might as well wait and get him for league minimum without giving up a player.
