Fuck Brandon Phillips. If the dude had accepted the trade to the Nats last offseason, he'd have been on a winning team AND my Mets wouldn't have spent the whole season getting ass fucked by Daniel Murphy.

Update to the potential Marlins sale as it turns out Jeffrey Loria might be Trump's pick for Ambassador of France.
If that happens, the Kushners will not make a bid so there won't be any controversy. |

Amusing the biggest news the Cubs have so far is the bullpens are moving off the field at Wrigley

Padres sign Jered Weaver to one year, $3 million deal. If they were gonna sign a washed up ace with declining velocity, I'd have preferred Jake Peavy.

It rarely works out to the two best teams record wise actually getting into the World Series due to the overall randomness of the playoffs - but the Cubs and Red Sox really do seem to be in a tier of their own ahead of some other really good teams.

Shut up Droford. You have zero objective method to even insinuate the Red Sox aren't the best team in the division. The only player on your team better the anybody on the Red Sox is future Yankee Manny Machado

Boston wins because Chris Davis hits .221 and is better than Mitch Mooreland. Never mind the influx of Cy Young calibre pitchers in Boston's starting rotation and tremendous hitting starting line up.

Orioles traded for Vidal Nuno from the Dodgers .
He's a former starter he started 28 games a couple years ago.. |

Apples to oranges considering he's going to be a lefty long reliever
I suppose I should just mention as well the Orioles bullpen is superior to the Red Sox bullpen. Enjoy your awesome starters pitching only to have Francisco Abad who was so bad after they got him he wasn't on their playoff roster come in and give up the game. |

Intentional walks are a thing of the past.
Now you just hit a button in the dugout and the runner automatically trots to first. |

I feel dirty agreeing with STD (filthy Sox fan) but I hate this change too. But life goes on and ultimately it doesn't really affect anything dramatically.

Like the decision since outside of rare occasions, the end result is always the same. Might as well let pitchers save those 4 pitches for later or more important situations. MLB doesn't really save that much time overall but pitchers get to save a bit of their arm for games.
Think it might have been Busty Olney recently who said the amount of times that play gets contested every season is tiny. Like around 4 times or so where it gets botched or doesn't result in an auto-walk. |

I always saw those 4 pitches as part of the "exchange"...... you want to intentionally walk the guy, fine, but you will be "using up" 4 pitches that you could have used "later" or "more important situations"........

I know major leaguers don't just "lob them in" on the intentional, but is it really wasting pitches
