I swear whenever I see your avatar I see Brian Ilten and think it's him posting.

Eppler when he ships something out only to return something better...

What is it about Boston teams cheating? First the Patriots, now the BoSux?

According to Michael Schmidt of the New York Times, the Red Sox have been caught stealing catcher signs from the Yankees and other opponents using an Apple Watch. Schmidt says the inquiry from Major League Baseball investigators began two weeks ago when Yankees general manager Brian Cashman filed a complaint that included video footage of a member of the Red Sox training staff looking at his Apple Watch in the dugout and then relaying messages to players on the field. It is unclear at this time what kind of penalties the Red Sox might be facing. Schmidt notes that the Red Sox have filed a counter-complaint against the Yankees claiming that the team uses a camera from the YES Network to steal signs during games. This is a developing story, with much more to come. Source: New York Times

4.31 ERA against southpaws this year. Pass....

https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2017/09/angels-claim-dayan-diaz-designate-daniel-wright.html The 28-year-old Diaz made his Major League debut with the Reds last season but was cut loose at season’s end, at which point he signed a minor league deal with the Astros. In a combined 19 2/3 MLB innings, Diaz has an unsightly 9.15 ERA. While he’s picked up an impressive 23 strikeouts in that short time and averaged 94 mph on his fastball, he’s also walked 11 batters and thrown four wild pitches. In 161 career innings at the Triple-A level, Diaz has a much more appealing 2.96 earned run average with 8.2 K/9 against 3.5 BB/9.

Like hell it doesn't. Breaking your bat and hitting a ball 315 feet is pretty damn impressive. Yankee Stadium or not.

He's been terrible this season, so yeah... He can be. 6.16 ERA and 1.70 WHIP over 26 starts and three relief appearances.

Yeah we have helpers that can do that. They clean the place up before new vacation renters come in. It's an older retired couple and he's a handyman.

Dang...

Dipoto came to Arte on both deals... Arte approved, but it was Dipoto who had interest and made the initial contact.

What's worse? Dipoto signing Pujols and Hamilton or signing Balodquin over Vlad Jr. ?

Does anyone know if this is going to make it up to the gulf side, like in the Clearwater, FL area? Just concerned about our rental house there. Maybe I should ask Mike Trout?

Missed this yesterday, but as usual a good read @Glen. You're off to a good start in our predictions and I hope you're right about them going 2-1 against the M's. Just hope the two wins are Friday and Saturday since I will be there.

What a terrible trade. M's fans up here in Seattle have lost patience with Dipoto, but are hopeful they'll make the playoffs. If they don't, they're ready to riot.

Damn!

When something happens on a baseball field that even Vin Scully has never seen, there's a good chance that it's something nobody has ever seen. That's why Jack Howell's broken-bat home run on Sept. 5, 1987, seemed like one of the rarest feats in baseball history. Now, before you argue the point, consider that by the late '80s, Scully had already been just about everywhere and seen just about everything related to baseball during three-plus decades as a broadcaster. All those Dodgers games. All those World Series. All those All-Star Games. All those Games of the Week. But he'd never seen this.

Acquired from the Mariners in the Mallex Smith deal, the 21-year-old Gohara has compiled a 2.62 ERA and 147/44 K/BB ratio over 123 2/3 innings this season between three different levels in the minors this year.

Doubt it. His worst two games as a pro are against the A's. Both coming in the past week.

Angels offense got me like.....

@ukyah & @UndertheHalo I sent you emails with invites.

Yes, come on down. I'll send you an invite to the email you used to join here. PM me another email address if you want me to send to another one.
