I had almost forgot about this thread, one of the greats and Enjoy Terror made it into internet lore with this thread. http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/complacent-reynolds Edit: Anyone remember if Reynolds himself knew of this (had too right?) and commented on it?

Fantastic. Really impressive year for Hays. As others have said, I haven't been this excited for a position player since Machado.
-
Ah sorry, I was curious who the other finalists were (was wondering if a certain Austin Hays would be included) and that came up as the first result from my googling....whoops.

Acuna was named the player of the year. https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/mlb/2017/09/06/minor-league-player-year-braves-prospect-ronald-acuna-improves-every-level/633376001/

Arrieta says cramps, but guess we will see if he makes his next start: http://www.csnchicago.com/chicago-cubs/now-least-cubs-and-jake-arrieta-breathing-sigh-relief-after-hamstring-injury

Chris Archer left Saturday's game with the dreaded forearm tightness, but no structural damage found. I do think I remember reading someone on here who said they anticipated strongly that Archer may have arm issues because of his mechanics....but could be remembering wrong. http://www.tampabay.com/sports/baseball/rays/rays-journal-no-structural-damage-for-chris-archer/2336255

Castro is a fun pitcher to watch when he is on, especially when his fastball is on and moving like it was tonight. And that slider was nice too!
-
I for one have never understood the disdain with bumped threads. If it really does bother you, maybe just look at the date of the OP? As Art said the lack of strikeouts is concerning, but I am glad to see he keeps getting the job done.

Really a laugher when Caleb plays 3B (think I saw that in the box score). Something interesting to note, Caleb has been worth 1.6 War and Beef 0.6. https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/j/josepca01.shtml https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/c/castiwe01.shtml

After going 2 for 4 last night Nick is slashing .308/.392/.406, not bad, not bad at all.

Gallardo is the only healthy starting pitcher for the Mariners from their original rotation this year. http://www.cbssports.com/mlb/news/somehow-things-just-got-even-worse-for-the-mariners-rotation-with-iwakuma-injured/

SSS but his splits don't look bad either. .891OPS on the road.
-
And Danny Hudson finally got paid, but he is struggling so far in Pittsburgh. And it was interesting to read the O's watched a Todd Coffey showcase, would have been fun to watch him run out of the bullpen in Baltimore.

http://www.foxsports.com/mlb/story/noah-syndergaard-injury-time-grame-new-york-mets-tommy-john-surgery-rosenthal-043017 The Arm really is a great read. Well I think so, still working my way through the last quarter of the book. Give your self some time.

Zack Greinke topped out at 89.5 mph with his fastball Wednesday in his start against Team Mexico. And the high-priced right-hander was mostly sitting around 88 mph in that start, per beat writer Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic. Greinke wound up yielding two runs on six hits over 2 2/3 innings. "It’s still early," he said after the game. "It is what it is. It’s still early and it’s not like some crazy, crazy thing. But it’s not ideal, either." Greinke, who's still owed $172.5 million from the Diamondbacks, was hitting 93 mph with his fastball at this point last year. http://www.rotoworld.com/player/mlb/3796/zack-greinke Edit: I see I am about 20 hours behind Weams with this information, whoops. Still, wow would that be bad for Arizona.

That would be fantastic and it sounds like the durability might be a bit better than Bedard.

Ummmm....may I present you with the Baseball reference player of the day: <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">With 103 HRs allowed at Camden Yards, today's PotD is Sidney Ponson <a href="https://t.co/WWy9icqgii">https://t.co/WWy9icqgii</a> <a href="https://t.co/s8mtIXqDqn">pic.twitter.com/s8mtIXqDqn</a></p>— Baseball Reference (@baseball_ref) <a href=" ">September 15, 2016</a></blockquote><script async src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

And his slash line is now: .308/.308/.308. That has to pretty tough to do. http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/a/andinro01.shtml

Who is that? Guy on the left looks like Brian Denney. Edit: With a mustache
-
So the players we trade away are human, well that is nice. And kinda makes Bundy's last outing, not look so bad.
-
I guess 30 pitches is his cap? I wanted out for one more, but guess that would have been pushing him too far...
-
If true, the physician definitely has some responsibility in this.
-
Giving some benefit of the doubt, which is exactly what I think you are advocating?
-
Not have the illegal substances in my system. I abide by the guidelines set forth as we all have too. The debate is interesting. Stop with the childlish personal attacks. It's useless.
