MLB 2018 Season: Slugging Contenders and a bunch of Also-Rans

Man the Jays are gonna be tough to watch now. At least tickets will be cheap again.

Doesn't help you're going against essentially the hottest team in MLB since early to mid June.

[Melena]

Add Sony Gray to the list of people who deleted Twitter due to shit posting a few years ago.

[Melena]

Cueto having Tommy John Thursday. Probably won't be back until 2020.

Definitely doesn't help, but we took a mediocre pitching staff and gutted it so I'm just expecting every game to kind of look like this series against the Braves from here on out. Maybe Vlad Jr will get a call up some time this season.

I watched the highlights from Dodgers Brewers last night. I liked Moose and Schoop before the trades. I like the big guy that hits DONGS. I'm not supposed to like Braun because he's a bad bad cheater. I'm so conflicted right now.

[archibaldcrane]

I was at that game. Sucks that Hader was unavailable, Albers really has fallen apart after a promising start to the season.

But yeah be a Brewers fan it rules, the team is fun and the fans like beer but not in a depressing way

[archibaldcrane]

I thought I was going to get to do Schoop da Whoop memes but apparently it's pronounced "scope" so I guess 420 no-scope memes it is

[Kalmado]

Yeah I was kinda surprised at the way it's pronounced too. I'm a Tigers fan first and foremost, but I enjoy watching other fun teams when the Tigers are off or play early games. Atlanta and Pittsburgh are on my current list. Might as well add the Brewers.

[Melena]

I'm really happy Sonny Gray waited until after the trade deadline before giving up 7 and getting taken out in the 3rd inning.

Moved to the bullpen. Lynn is taking his place.

[Melena]

Sandoval out for the year, hamstring surgery.

[Xno Kappa]

Yankees bullpen falling the fuck apart in this game.

[Xno Kappa]

Conflicting reports of whether Mike Sciosa will or won’t step down. Surprised he hasn’t been outright fired yet.

[Outlaw]

Did I miss something? What did he do wrong?

Mediocre manager for a long time

Single A ball game ended where the winning team had no hits or walks. Game went to extras and the new rule of starting a runner on second, an error then a ground out scored the only winning run.

[Melena]

Probably won't get it, but Dereck Rodriguez is quietly making a case for rookie of the year. 13 appearances, 11 starts 5-1 in 73 innings pitched so far, 61 strikeouts, 1.05 whip, 2.34 ERA. And that's including a June 9th start against the Nats where he gave up 5 earned runs in 2.2 innings.

[Cail]

Jacoby Ellsbury had surgery on his left hip to repair a torn labrum. Expected to be out 6 months.

Bryce Harper saying (with his play) 'what post-derby slump '

[archibaldcrane]

Padres rookie starter Brett Kennedy becomes the first player in MLB history to give up back to back to back homers (Aguilar, Shaw, Thames) in the first inning of his major league debut.
