GDT: 2019 MLB Regular Season Thread (Part III)

[JWK]

Dahl left the game on a cart, and don't look for a replay because it's bad. I feel awful for him.

BREAKING: A Yankees starting pitcher had a good start (ie under 5 runs) and was NOT TRASH.

 

[rangerssharks414]

18 straight starts for Lance Lynn of at least six innings... he's had three starts that he hasn't gone six, and they were all in April. He's thrown at least 100 pitches in all but two starts this year.

170/35 K/BB, 16 QS in 23 starts

He's been a really good find coming off a below average (at best) season.

Edit: Sorry, one of those starts was March 31st.

 

[JWK]

Vince Velasquez threw out a guy at home from left field to save a run for Roman Quinn who’s pitching and I can’t stop laughing

The Twins missed on getting Will Smith from the Giants for their bullpen (yea, yea, I know, SF thinks they can still get in the playoffs), so they settled for Sam Dyson from the Giants instead....and man, has Dyson looked awful so far in two outings since the trade.
He blew the game the Twins basically had in the bag against the Marlins (MN 4-1 lead in the 9th), and tonight, against the Royals, didn't look too sharp either.

Fortunately, the other Twins acquisition, Sergio "Ageless" Romo, they got from the Marlins HAS looked good...and the man looks excited, to say the least, playing for a contender!

Rays option Nate Lowe back to Triple-A Durham. 131 OPS+. LOL.

I didn't really like the Aguilar trade, and I don't understand the Jesus Sanchez move either, but I don't question the Rays management at all anymore, they are one of the best run teams in the league.

 

[rangerssharks414]

Hey, guys... guess what Sunday night baseball is tomorrow?

Agreed.
I sometimes scratch my head at some of the things they do, but generally speaking, and in the long run, they usually are making the correct moves....INCLUDING, knowing when to unload certain players, as evidenced when the wheels "fall off" elsewhere after doing fine in TB.

Makes me wonder what this management could REALLY do if they had a larger budget to work with.

This Domingo German of the Yankees.....underrated talent on the team?

We hear all about Paxton, Happ, CC's final year, Tanaka, and Severino and when he will return...but not much about German, yet when I see him pitch, he looks incredibly poised, confident...and effective out there.

 

[TropicalFruitGirl2]

Yankees treating Chris "Scissors" Sale quite rudely..... jumped on him for 3 runs so far in the 4th giving NY a 4-1 lead and looking for more with runners on 2nd and 3rd

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

Sale is broken.

 

[TropicalFruitGirl2]

Sale is broken.

He not only was removed by the manager, but booted by the umps for barking at them as he left.

Yankees certainly getting their revenge on the Red Sox for last weekend where Boston blasted NY's pitching.
NY putting the hurtin on the Sox this game after beating them yesterday. 9-2 NY now heading into the 7th.

 

[TropicalFruitGirl2]

Meanwhile, over at Wrigley, the Cubbies hold a 1-0 lead over a Brewers team that could be in danger of not only falling out of the Central race, but out of the playoffs entirely.

Brew have not played well lately and a once three team race (St.L, ChiC, Mil) has for the moment, come down to the Cards and Cubs.
The wild card in the NL is as crazy as ever, but current favorites to stay on those would be whomever loses out in the NL Central and the Nats.

Milwaukee needs to pick up some wins against the Cubs...badly.

 

[AdmiralsFan24]

Brewers should've sold at the deadline.

and now Boston has lost 6 in a row.

39 runs the first 3 games vs NYY last week, 4 in the first 2 games this series.....

 

[c9777666]

The Yankees remain NOT TRASH

 

[Know Your Enemy]

Not the start Stroman wanted.
He might throw 60 pitches in the first inning...ok 35

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

Aaron Sanchez has 6 no-hit innings though!

92 pitches though so I doubt this lasts much longer.

 

[TootooTrain]

Aaron Sanchez has 6 no-hit innings though!

He keeps looking at this finger. So there might be another blister coming. Which makes sense because all his fastballs have been at a pedestrian 91-93mph. Either way...he's been pitching a hell of a game. Proud of him.

 

[Taro Tsujimoto]

Houston, we have a (combined) no-no!

 

[c9777666]

What a difference a year makes for the Mariners

 

[Quid Pro Clowe]

What a difference a year makes for the Mariners

They sucked last year. If it wasn't for Edwin Diaz they never even sniff the postseason race.

Ump in Oakland not making many friends on either side.
