I hope Francouer gets traded and Dominic Brown bats lead off for the rest of the season.

Meanwhile in Texas, the Jays are kicking the shit out of the Rangers 10-2. Encarnacion with a grand slam.
Fuuuuuuuuck I love the Jays offence! |

Remember when the Mets traded for Eric O'Flaherty and I said "I don't care about his 5.91 ERA, the reason they're getting him is that he carves up lefties who are only hitting .186 against him"
In the 3 weeks since coming to the Mets, lefties are now hitting him at a .444 clip with a 2.70 WHIP He has a 15.88 ERA through 9 games with the Mets. Total season ERA up to an even 8.00. And in 2 of those games he came in with a huge lead and single-handedly allowed the other team to get back into the game. It's a small sample size, but I've seen enough. I'd rather not have a lefty specialist at all than try desperately to get something out of him. He's just totally shot. |

Hell I'd rather they call up this kid from Double A who got signed out of independent ball this year. Josh Smoker. Excellent name for a pitcher.

Twins have activated their peak factor and took control of the second wildcard spot last night. Hope they didn't play their hand too early. Peak factor timing is everything these days.

While glancing at the standings earlier this morning on mlb.com I looked at the Wild Card list... they show the division leaders on top and then the WC race below. For whatever reason I never noticed this before but it's shown like this:
E - Toronto C - Kansas City W - Houston E C DUB E C DUB E C DUB I wanna see Donaldson put Yordano Ventura through a flaming table |

Well, Jays have peaked. They lost to Texas. Probably will get passed by the Red Sox at this pace.

Mets recover from an early 5-0 deficit, pull off the play of the year in the 10th inning, and win 9-5 in the 13th. They've hit a franchise record 43 home runs this month, and have scored a franchise record 73 runs in the past week.
This must be how Gertner feels watching the Jays. http://m.mlb.com/video/topic/8879118...ild-deflection |

It's okay. I've come to terms with that lousy decision. I'm hoping they indeed do not resign Upton to gain a draft pick, trade Kimbrel, Norris and Ross in the off season to try and reload the organization, and finish in the bottom ten do they can splurge on free agents without giving up draft picks this time.
These daft owners aren't going to mail it like they should've done this year with the all-star game coming. Wouldn't be shocked to see them be aggressive in adding cheap talent via trades and going for broke in the free agent market. |

Supposedly he faked being a sabermetrics guy to get the job and just paid lip service to it after.

MLB might consider a stronger push for extended the netting to protect fans from nailed by foul balls in the offseason now that a lawsuit got filed because of it. Current lawsuit targets the Red Sox and an incident from last season where a fan got injured by a foul ball.

jesus...even when the Mets lose they keep it interesting. Down 6-3 with 2 outs and the bases empty and they wind up losing 6-4 with the bases loaded.
sucks to lose a game where Harvey tossed 6 scoreless, but oh well. things had to even out at some point given the way the past week has gone. at least the Nats lost. |
