Around Baseball 2015 Edition

This has to be worst possible circumstance for a call-up if you are a minor-league pitcher. "Hey Ian, we're bringing you up . . . to be the 26th man for a double-header at Coors Field."

@Dodgers 2h2 hours ago

Today, the #Dodgers recalled LHP Ian Thomas from Triple-A Oklahoma City to be the 26th man for today’s doubleheader at Colorado.

Coincidental that David Hale is getting the call up to be the 26th man for the Rockies in the same game.

The Dodgers let Ian Thomas wear one this afternoon in mop up duty. Takes the loss with 3 IP, 4R, 5H, 2 BB, 1 HR.

Hale did very well his first call-up for the Rockies, I saw that spot start.

Yep, him and O'Dowd.

Gattis just hit his 12th homer. Man this guy is going to have some monster seasons in that park. Great trade for both sides.

 

[CrimsonCowboy]

So, Joey Gallo had a decent M.L. debut.

 

[NinersSBChamps]

Rockies picking up some traction. Tulo and Arenado are on some kind of fire right now. Going for the day-night sweep of the Dodgers.

 

[NinersSBChamps]

Crazy Coors Field game. Alex Guerrero just hit a go ahead grand slam on 1-2 count with 2 outs in the 9th.

Outside of the power it's been very ugly for Gattis this season.

He's like Dave Kingman right now

And the Astros have the best record in the American League

And the Royals are leading the Wild Card. Yay for small market teams!

To be fair, most the suckitude came in his first ike 6 games. Since April 15th, he been practically the exact same player he was with us. .260/.288/.558 .847 OPS. Lots of power, bad on base skills, so-so average

Yanks DFA David Carpenter. If he clears waivers, we need to be all over this. #FlipForTop50

Yeah we should be safe now that Uribe is on our side, at least for now.

 

[zitothebrave]

I'm all for bringing Carpenter back. He hasn't even sucked that hard for New York, better than some guys who've gotten playing time herer.

 

[Garmel]

Why isn't Carpenter striking people out? That's hard to figure.

 

[UNCBlue012]

Please get Carp back. I never loved him, but for what we have now, I'd be ecstatic.

 

[Julio3000]

Why isn't Carpenter striking people out? That's hard to figure out.

He's doing his level best, but he doesn't have the tools anymore, it seems. Any team that adze him is going to watch him get hammered.

Also, screw the Yankees.

 

[Carp]

He certainly is a toolsy guy.
