And from MLBTR they also traded a AA reliever for more international bonus pool money. Hmmm . . .

2 seamus   ~  Jul 31, 2017 3:08 pm

[1] yeah they seem to be seriously accumulating bonus money. They have plans...

3 rbj   ~  Jul 31, 2017 3:46 pm

Maybe to shove more money at Otani?

4 cult of basebaal   ~  Jul 31, 2017 4:48 pm

It's not all that much money when you consider what Otani would have been worth under the old system.

I really doubt he's coming over this winter, which is a shame.

Do you guys like the deal or do you think they gave up too much?

6 rbj   ~  Jul 31, 2017 6:11 pm

I like it. I remember when Brien Taylor injured his shoulder and never made it to the bigs. Medicine has gotten better, but you never know. To get something good you have to give up something good

7 Ara Just Fair   ~  Jul 31, 2017 6:15 pm

I like the trade. Gleyber was the big name who who may have been given a shot this year if not for his injury. Good luck, kid. But now we've got a decent pitcher in Sonny for nearly 2 1/2 years.

8 seamus   ~  Jul 31, 2017 6:18 pm

yep agreed. Good deal though plenty of unknown with all of the players involved.

9 seamus   ~  Jul 31, 2017 6:18 pm

Sevy throwing a lot of pitches.

10 rbj   ~  Jul 31, 2017 6:19 pm

Ruh roh

11 seamus   ~  Jul 31, 2017 6:20 pm

Headley never made it to first base regardless.

12 Ara Just Fair   ~  Jul 31, 2017 6:20 pm

Where the fuck were you going, Headley? Oi!

13 rbj   ~  Jul 31, 2017 6:23 pm

Phew.

14 Ara Just Fair   ~  Jul 31, 2017 6:23 pm

Phew. Go get em, offense.

15 seamus   ~  Jul 31, 2017 6:23 pm

there is our first phew.

16 seamus   ~  Jul 31, 2017 6:28 pm

how was that a strike?

17 Ara Just Fair   ~  Jul 31, 2017 6:29 pm

Never mind me. I'm mixing up Jorge Mateo with Gleyber Torres. My bad.

18 rbj   ~  Jul 31, 2017 6:37 pm

I'm stuck with the Tigers feed, what are Kay and whoever else is in the booth thoughts

19 seamus   ~  Jul 31, 2017 6:39 pm

[18] about the deal? I think it's Cone and Paulie. They seem to like it though I wasn't paying enough attention to quote or summarize.

20 seamus   ~  Jul 31, 2017 6:41 pm

alright not bad.

21 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Jul 31, 2017 6:43 pm

Sssup all youse? Been offline while on vacation, seems a big haul they gave up for Gray, even if Fowler and Kaprelian are on the DL..

22 rbj   ~  Jul 31, 2017 6:46 pm

[19] Thanks

23 seamus   ~  Jul 31, 2017 6:59 pm

There we go Wade!

24 seamus   ~  Jul 31, 2017 7:01 pm

Clint has hit the ball 108 and 109 mph and nothing to show for it.

25 cult of basebaal   ~  Jul 31, 2017 7:07 pm

[21] Not just the DL though, out for at least this season with serious injuries ... Kap is out with TJ surgery and Fowler had that horrific knee injury. For a guy who projects in part because of his speed a knee injury like that is a BIG if.

26 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Jul 31, 2017 7:10 pm

(25) Hmmm..so what are the A's doing then, just banking on full recovery? Gray has 2.5 years left on his contract

27 seamus   ~  Jul 31, 2017 7:12 pm

bummer

28 rbj   ~  Jul 31, 2017 7:15 pm

Oh come on. A second error?

29 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Jul 31, 2017 7:16 pm

ugly inning. Sevi has maybe 1 more.

30 cult of basebaal   ~  Jul 31, 2017 7:17 pm

[26] Big risk, potentially big reward.

Sloppy D there, boys ...

80+ pitches for Sev through 4 ... looks like another long night for the bullpen.

31 rbj   ~  Jul 31, 2017 7:20 pm

Error filled inning

32 cult of basebaal   ~  Jul 31, 2017 7:21 pm

Turn about is fair play!

33 rbj   ~  Jul 31, 2017 7:26 pm

And it's Headley!

34 cult of basebaal   ~  Jul 31, 2017 7:27 pm

HEADLEY!

35 rbj   ~  Jul 31, 2017 7:29 pm

Frazier joins the party

36 seamus   ~  Jul 31, 2017 7:29 pm

The God Frazier.

37 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Jul 31, 2017 7:29 pm

Can't give extra outs!

38 cult of basebaal   ~  Jul 31, 2017 7:30 pm

FRAZIER!

After yesterday's RLISP fiasco, cleaning the bases here feels very, very good.

39 seamus   ~  Jul 31, 2017 7:35 pm

big strike zone tonight.

40 rbj   ~  Jul 31, 2017 7:47 pm

One more out, Sevvy.

41 cult of basebaal   ~  Jul 31, 2017 7:47 pm

Get someone up ... NOW.

Last inning for Sev.

Stop. Walking. People.

42 rbj   ~  Jul 31, 2017 7:49 pm

Kahnle is up. Last batter for Luis. Definitely tired

43 cult of basebaal   ~  Jul 31, 2017 7:50 pm

Joe should have already had someone getting loose.

44 rbj   ~  Jul 31, 2017 7:53 pm

Oh come on blue. Even Detroit shows it a strike

45 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Jul 31, 2017 7:53 pm

115 through 4&2/3??

46 seamus   ~  Jul 31, 2017 7:53 pm

phew. glad for sevy to get through 5 there. Now let the ultra pen do its job.

47 cult of basebaal   ~  Jul 31, 2017 7:54 pm

Just great 116 pitches ... in the 4th ... glad we're burning out Sev to get a fucking pitcher W.

48 cult of basebaal   ~  Jul 31, 2017 7:55 pm

Sorry, 5th

49 Ara Just Fair   ~  Jul 31, 2017 7:55 pm

I leave at 1-0 and come back to 4-1. I like it.

50 rbj   ~  Jul 31, 2017 7:59 pm

Judge!

51 Ara Just Fair   ~  Jul 31, 2017 7:59 pm

Love the pitcher's reaction.

52 cult of basebaal   ~  Jul 31, 2017 7:59 pm

ALL RISE!

53 Ara Just Fair   ~  Jul 31, 2017 8:06 pm

Yikes. Watch your lips.

54 rbj   ~  Jul 31, 2017 8:07 pm

Ouch, right in the head. Expect a Yankee to get hit

55 Ara Just Fair   ~  Jul 31, 2017 8:09 pm

This is not starting well.

56 cult of basebaal   ~  Jul 31, 2017 8:10 pm

Jebus, that was scary from Kahnle.

I completely understand Mahtook's reaction.

57 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Jul 31, 2017 8:10 pm

How'd he get straight up after that?

58 Ara Just Fair   ~  Jul 31, 2017 8:17 pm

Lead off single in 9th. No no-no.

59 Ara Just Fair   ~  Jul 31, 2017 8:22 pm

Fucking Bollocks. He had it all the way.

60 seamus   ~  Jul 31, 2017 8:29 pm

I find it annoying that Nunez is raking for Boston. His primary skill is supposed to be throwing the ball to random destinations.

61 Ara Just Fair   ~  Jul 31, 2017 8:32 pm

Ha. Siddown, Cabrera.

62 rbj   ~  Jul 31, 2017 8:33 pm

Betances in the 7th? Put an APB out on the Binder

63 cult of basebaal   ~  Jul 31, 2017 8:40 pm

Binder ain't changed, just got more pages

64 cult of basebaal   ~  Jul 31, 2017 8:47 pm

Message sent.

And done right.

65 Ara Just Fair   ~  Jul 31, 2017 8:48 pm

Frazier MASHES!

66 cult of basebaal   ~  Jul 31, 2017 8:48 pm

C'mon Syndrome!

67 seamus   ~  Jul 31, 2017 8:48 pm

Frazier has hit the ball over 100 mph every time tonight. Finally a hit for it.

68 Ara Just Fair   ~  Jul 31, 2017 8:50 pm

Watching this team compared to the last 3 years or so is freaking unbelievable.

69 cult of basebaal   ~  Jul 31, 2017 8:50 pm

Yup. That's the perfect payback for the HBP.

70 seamus   ~  Jul 31, 2017 8:53 pm

Obviously Clint needs to stay with the big leaguers. But what do you do with Ellsbury when Hicks returns? It is a tricky question.

71 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Jul 31, 2017 8:54 pm

[67] Right? It's amazing. Got to give props to Cashman.

72 seamus   ~  Jul 31, 2017 8:55 pm

Sanchez at least got a sac fly out of that.

73 Ara Just Fair   ~  Jul 31, 2017 8:56 pm

An outfield rotation where Ellsbury gets the least abs. Hicks has got to get back to hitting well again. Nice problem to have. It'll probably sort itself out.

74 seamus   ~  Jul 31, 2017 8:57 pm

I really hope Holliday figures it out by September.

75 rbj   ~  Jul 31, 2017 8:57 pm

Had to let the dogs in and out. Looks like I missed some baseball

76 cult of basebaal   ~  Jul 31, 2017 9:03 pm

Obviously Clint needs to stay with the big leaguers. But what do you do with Ellsbury when Hicks returns? It is a tricky question.

Take the gun, leave the canoli ...

77 rbj   ~  Jul 31, 2017 9:10 pm

For me, send me upstate, hiking in the Adirondacks, leave me a bread crumb trail.

Or trade and eat salary

78 rbj   ~  Jul 31, 2017 9:21 pm

One down

79 rbj   ~  Jul 31, 2017 9:24 pm

Ugh

80 thelarmis   ~  Jul 31, 2017 9:25 pm

Why the fuck does Chapman have to be up? Seriously. So if they score two, dude can get a save? Bollocks.

81 rbj   ~  Jul 31, 2017 9:26 pm

Yikes

82 rbj   ~  Jul 31, 2017 9:27 pm

CC needs to go deep to orrow

83 cult of basebaal   ~  Jul 31, 2017 9:27 pm

Oh, joy ... save situation

84 rbj   ~  Jul 31, 2017 9:30 pm

I'll trade the run for the out

85 rbj   ~  Jul 31, 2017 9:32 pm

Three down! Night all.

86 Ara Just Fair   ~  Jul 31, 2017 9:33 pm

Cheers, y'all. Good W.

87 thelarmis   ~  Jul 31, 2017 9:33 pm

Yay! 103 mph
