Around The Majors 2019

[Carp]

So Austin Riley and Bryse Wilson could have gotten the deal done....?

There is no reason he is not a Brave is that was the case

I think that's pure speculation. We also don't know of anything else they might have been talking about. Be more upset we didn't upgrade an actual need like LF, rather than catcher.

[Carp]

I do think his offense will be better due to getting out of Miami but I wouldn't be shocked if the Phillies catchers only have a 1 WAR advantage over the Braves at the end of the year now that framing has been put into the mix.

I actually think we will outpace Philly in catcher WAR since framing has been added.

ERA of infinity.

[Nerfherders]

And beyond!

Anyone see Ron Kulpa during the Astros game last night? Dude should be suspended at least.

That doesn’t even explain the half of it. He actually blocked Gerritt Cole from throwing warm up pitches and got in his face a couple of times. Child.

WUT

He should be fired. Immediately.

I need to google this guy. I didn’t see any of it.

He apparently has had several instances over the years of showing up players, but this one was even more over the top even those. MLB has to make a statement and suspend him. Pretty egregious behavior from an umpire.

Whatever happened to Kulpa-bility?
The batter, the pitcher, a very low strike-three?
How did I get to living here?
Somebody tell me please!
This ump’s calls are confusing me.
With umpires as mean as you’ve ever seen
Knowing the robots will replace them soon.
Then a loud voice from your bench bellows,
“Are you effing blind, you goon?”
Everywhere you look, everywhere you go
It’s a strike, it’s a ball, “I can do anything, I want to.”
Everywhere you look, everywhere you go
Ball’s high, ball’s low, “I can do anything, I want to.”
Everywhere you look.
When you’re lost out there, with no sense of the zone,
An asshole is standing, calling*whatever at home.
Everywhere you look.
Everywhere you look.

Sounds like its time for misbehaving umpires to give a Mea Kulpa.

[percival]

Anybody think AA may just be crafty enough to have deals with Kimbrel and/or Keuchel which won't be signed until post-draft???

[CyYoung31]

Mike Trout is too good.

[thewupk]

Mike Trout is too good.

His WRC+ the last 3 years are 170, 181, and 191. Does he get up 200 this year? I never though I'd see a player better than Bonds but Trout is it.

Just hit his second hr of the night. Just incredible how talented he is.

[msstate7]

Mike Trout is too good.

he hAs had a niCe rUN but there's A new alpha in mlb

[AerchAngel]

If A-bomb get within 25 of those numbers and consistently, he will be the Rainbow Fish of the National League.
Incredible numbers, my goodness of Mike Rainbow Fish.

[UNCBlue012]

I'm kind of surprised the Red Sox haven't just signed Kimbrel with how horrible their entire pitching staff has been.
