2018 MLB Regular Season Thread II

[Marc the Habs Fan]

Poncedeleon pulled after 7. Tough!

And the no no bid is now done. Ervin singles.

What a catch back up the middle. Dbacks up 6-0 on the Cubs, Corbin looks like he's been dealing this game. DBacks are going to have to play some good baseball the 2nd half.

They played great 2nd half baseball last year, but their offense is not what it was last year and Boxberger has not been a huge upgrade at closer over the Arrow Man.

Terrible night for several aces. deGrom for his standards had a tough night but ultimately he gets the usual screw job by his terrible offence.

Kluber with another shaky outing as the Pirates continue to destroy everything.

If I was CLE, I shut him down (even if he is healthy) and give him 3-4 weeks of rest. Game 1 of the ALDS is what matters, they'll be the 3rd seed in the AL playoffs anyway.

Clint Hurdle is Rasputin.

Just when you think the Pirates are going nowhere and he’s about to be on the hot seat, BOOM they always seem to go on a run to cool that seat off

He signed a 4 year extension at the end of last year, the winning streak is nice but he's not going anywhere for a while pretty much no matter what

 

[JWK]

Eugenio Suarez is really good

 

[c9777666]

Cardinals have wasted some big performances recently.

Matt Carpenter basically won NL Player of the week in a 5 game series at Wrigley- still lost the series.

Poncedeleon pitches a gem, but they couldn’t even get a win, let alone a no-hitter

 

[Taro Tsujimoto]

And the Mets blow yet another deGrom start.

And the Mets blow yet another deGrom start.

So much for catching a break with the rain last night. You’d think Padres at home would be more likely a win than the Yankees on the road

Aaron Boone needs to be fired

The Red Sox will not win the AL East.

A's clown pounding the Rags.

Nothing has gone right for Texas since that ALDS sweep 2 years ago. That was their last chance to salvage something before their window of contention closed.

I gotta admit, I admire how both of you are digging in with these positions/predictions.

Gary Sanchez is going to get destroyed in the NY media for a lack of hustle. Can't wait for the Francesa rant.

lol Rizzo about to pitch in Chicago.

And he gets Pollock to fly out!

 

[Vamos Rafa]

Why do position players on the mound never get lit up?

You didn't see the Diamondbacks at Coors Field a week and a half ago?

You know whos supposed to get players to play hard? Manager and that is Aaron Boone.

They need to blame Boone too.

Which is something that I wonder if we've yet to see from Cora. He's had it too easy. The Red Sox have coasted to such a degree that they've yet to face adversity.

Cora has basically had so little pressure this year and not had to do as much/overcome they might as well have kept Farrell.

 

[EpochLink]

Oakland is surging in the AL Wild Card hunt.
Now Pittsburgh is right in the thick of things in the NL.

uh, AJ Hinch is what.

...

Lol. Sanchez is a joke.

Aaron Boone is a useless piece of shit.

 

[Del Preston]

Aaron Boone is a useless piece of ****.

I don't like him either. He comes across as very arrogant to me.

 

[Vamos Rafa]

Please don't fire Aaron Boone. Do we really want him back in the booth delivering nothing but clichés?
