Now when you can get into the pen in the third inning, it can pay dividends for a whole series.
-
Even if Lough has underperformed.
-
I'll be happy when the standings have that little mark by Baltimore signaling the race is over.
-
Rich Hill is back in the majors.
-
You know I am skeptical by nature. I think it is certainly possible that the Braves/Pirates version of Nate showed up this year and the Nats are hiding him on the DL. Just seems suspicious that he has been hurt all season and only now goes on the DL.
-
That is odd, the piece I quoted yesterday said "McLouth has played through inflammation in his right shoulder for much of the season,". I wonder if he is hurt at all or if this is just a cover story.
-
He's won them one game. Of course it isn't like the O's could use a hot bat right around now.
-
Hurt all season eh?
-
He is very popular in Africa.
-
So will all the moves yesterday the team that most improved it's chances to make the playoffs were the Blue Jays, who didn't make a move.
-
You think?
-
He did, I just was not online for it.

All that talk about Appel getting promoted? <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"><p>Mark Appel throws five scoreless innings, allowing two hits and four walks in his first Double-A start.</p>— Brian McTaggart (@brianmctaggart) <a href=" ">July 31, 2014</a></blockquote><script async src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

Hammel?

And that friends is why no matter how much you like them, you don't give long term extensions to relief pitchers. Remember this when you want to start that thread about locking Britton up this next offseason.
-
Just keep running out the clock.
-
Right the leak, I didn't think it through that it would bother the PA, I figured more other teams. Bud bad mouthed them earlier.
-
Low payroll during rebuild, Springer service time and Singleton contract. Am I leaving anything off?
-
About time they stepped up.
-
Very unlikely that the NCAA would do that. If it did Aiken would possibly be made a FA.
-
Even worse possibility, Nix has evidently filed a grievance. <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"><p>Scary Astros possibility: If Nix wins grievance to pay agreed-upon $1.5M, Houston 17% over bonus pool, would forfeit next two 1st-rd picks.</p>— Jeff Passan (@JeffPassan) <a href=" ">July 18, 2014</a></blockquote><script async src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script> I would rather throw 5 million down a hole in the ground then give up 2 first round picks.
-
That hurts but not anything close to the meltdown the Astros had. Their plan with the #1's has been to agree to an underslot deal then pick up more talent down the line. They forfeited the whole first slot when they didn't sign Aiken. Throw in Appel's struggles...
-
In not signing Aiken the Astros also failed to sign Nix and Marshall. If they had signed Nix they would have been over cap to the extent that they would have forfeited TWO first round picks. Safe to say this draft was a disaster for the Astros.
