Well Miami is screwed.

Sprained elbow ligament -- what Marlins say Jose Fernandez has -- means it is stretched or torn. TJ almost inevitable, either now or later.

Man oh man

was only a matter of time.

Wonder if we'll sign Alex Liddi for AAA now that he's been released. We need some depth at the corner infield spots.

 

[Heyward]

That's a non sustainable fluke run.

Most likely is, they'll go on a 35-15/40-10 type run eventually, too much talent.

It really is almost to the point where teams should consider a preemptive tj surgery when the pitcher is still in the minors so they don't lose a year of service time on the DL.

Source says that #Marlins' Fernandez just had second MRI and adds, "This isn't promising."

 

[NinersSBChamps]

Anyone believe in the Rockies? Their offense is insane right now. It's not all Coors Field either.

 

[NinersSBChamps]

Just noticed the Rockies have twice as many runs scored than the Braves.

 

[NinersSBChamps]

Texas has some kid named "Odor."

Torii Hunter telling Bud Norris (after HBP) that he was going to 'whup' his ass is one of the more entertaining episodes I've seen occur so far this season.

That must be a rough name to grow up with.

That must be a rough name to grow up with.

Well it is pronounced o door. Point taken though.

 

[bravesnumberone]

FWIW, Fernandez could still shut out our sorry offense with a hurt arm.

Really hate that for the kid. He's an incredible talent.

Tulo probably has accounted for more than any 6 of our guys not named Freeman or Justin Upton.

 

[thethe]

Brian McCann has an OPS of .586.

El Juan Chubbard

Brian McCann has an OPS of .586.

He'll probably come around after a period of adjustment. But I don't think he'll age well.

Exactly. That contract is going to look horrid in two years.

Yeah he has been on a tear all season long. If they can continue to win games he will be a serious MVP contender. Until he gets hurt that is.

Well it is pronounced ho-door. Point taken though.
