Colon is just unbelievable on roids.

Fixed........

Fixed........

Yeah. Most likely. It is kind of funny. He is like an old fat dude who said, "**** it." Have to admire that.

 

[yeezus]

Eric Bedard has a no hitter going into the 7th inning and asked to be taken out of the game at 109 pitches. Now it was tied 2-2 when he came out of the game

"I've had three shoulder surgeries," Bedard said. "I'm not going over 110 (pitches). I'd rather pitch a couple more years than face another batter."

I really have no problem with the guy asking to come out. I hope his team doesn't either.

If he threw 125-130 pitches it could pretty much end his career. He had allowed 1 ER while walking five to that point. It wasn't a special game and might have prevented him from pitching later on.

The Mets are playing well now.

The Mets are playing well now.

If they get a big bat somehow in the next two years they are going to be tough. Harvey could very well be the best pitcher in baseball.

Mets are only 10 games back as well. With the way we are playing, I wouldnt be surprised if they made a run at us.

Kershaw but yeah Harvey is amazing.

As a UNC baseball fan i didn't think he'd be THIS good.

Nobody thought he'd be this good, in fact he wasn't even this good in the minors. He suddenly gained extra velocity and pinpoint control when he reached the majors. Prospect experts had labeled his ceiling as a number 2 starter.

According to Ken Rosenthal, Matt Garza will not pitch tonight for the Cubs. A deal with the Rangers is near

The Nats have fired their hitting coach, Rick Eckstein.

Source: #Cubs will acquire Triple A IF Mike Olt, Single A RHP C.J. Edwards and a third player from #Rangers for Garza.

 

[Gary82]

That ends the Braves/Olt rumors.....I guess.

Dumb, they need hitting not pitching.

 

[Bdawg2309]

how did the phillies react to the hitting coach change mid season a few years ago??

 

[Heyward]

Looks like Grimm, Olt, Edwards and a PTBNL for Garza.

Pretty nice haul for 2 months of Garza.

Where is skidlee saying we could trade for Garza?

The price for pitching is sooo expensive.

Yeah its a rental...but that package means nothing.

Rangers win that deal

 

[The Tariff King]

lol remember when everyone wanted us to get Olt and sell the entire farm for him?

 

[CrimsonCowboy]

Jason Grilli had to leave the Pirates game against the Nats with right forearm discomfort

outside of Olt we have some comparable players to what they got.

Um, how so? They have like 4-5 starters on the DL right now. Their rotation is being held together with duct tape. Their hitting is doing ok. Not great, but ok.
