  1. Oh! Thanks for the reminder to buy my tickets for tonight.
  2. Marlins got boned last night on an overturned blocking-the-plate call: http://deadspin.com/blocking-the-plate-rule-screws-marlins-mike-redmond-st-1614363370 Side note: That run was unearned, thanks to an error on 2B Jordany Valdespin (HA!) that allowed the runner to reach base.
  3. That shark was high, too. Tough pitch to hit.
  4. The Top 10 Citi Field HR leaders, 4/13/09 - 7/30/14: Wright 46 Duda 31 Davis 30 Murphy 18 Pagan 15 Beltran 14 Hairston 13 Reyes 13 Bay 10 Francoeur 9 Jeff Francoeur presumably paying off somebody to keep Kirk Nieuwenhuis (8) down on the farm. Actually, Chase Utley is tied with Frenchy for 10th place with 9; Ryan Howard has 8. Richard Kind 1 https://vine.co/v/MErDLK7UgE1
  5. Vic Sage wrote: Sure Lester would be willing to go back, if the BoSox will pay him what the FA market values him at this off-season. But Lester has already had substantial discussions with BoSox about an extension, so if the Sox and Lester agreed on his value, they would've extended him instead of trading him. And his price will not go down when he hits the open market. But IF there was a wink-wink agreement ("we'll pay you what you want, but let us go get Yoenis Cespedes to play left field for you too and you can spend a two-month vacation playing for a playoff spot") between Lester and the Sox... unenforceable, I know, but certainly not impossible.

Frayed Knot wrote: Probably against the rules, but it would be nice if there was a conversation like this: "Okay Jon, go win World Series with the A's and then resign with us in it the offseason. Deal?" Lester has already said that he'd be willing to talk to the Sawx in the winter even if they dealt him away so a return to Beantown is certainly possible. Which isn't to say that there's a formal or even informal deal because they could have all the wink-wink conversations they want but neither side would ever be able to enforce such a thing. If you're happy where you are -- family, whatnot -- and your team sucks, then I don't see why you wouldn't do that. Go to your GM, say "hey, go get some useful pieces for me, and I'll be back in November."
  7. Jon Lester to A's, Yoenis Cespedes (!!!) to Red Sox.

  12. It's very easy to decide what to do. Nothing. Let them play the fucking game.
  13. Cerrone's got a hairbrained double-start idea where deGrom and Syndergaard go four innings each on a designated day. Why not just go to a six-man rotation?
  14. Stupid idea. You want to play a shift? Go ahead, but you deal with the consequences if the other team beats it.

  16. WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE
  17. I took de#2 also, although #1 is really the same to me.
  18. Headley arrives at YS3 midgame, enters in the 8th, gets the walk-off GWRBI in the 14th. That's actually pretty cool.
  19. I clicked it because I knew there would be a picture of Katy Perry, and pictures of Katy Perry are always worth a click.
  20. For Yangervis Solarte, who hit .299 in April and May and .133 in June and July, and a minor leaguer.

  22. It's really incredible how he completely fell off the table. 2010: .287/.369/.508 with 33 home runs, 131 OPS+, finished 17th in the MVP voting --signs contract with Atlanta-- 2011: .233/.311/.453 with 36 home runs in 161 games, 107 OPS+ 2012: .220/.348/.384 with 19 home runs, led the NL in walks with 94, made the all-star team, 98 OPS+ 2013: .179/.309/.362 with 22 home runs in 136 games, 84 OPS+ 2014: .162/.241/.231 in 130 AB. 2 for 25 in May, 1 for 14 in June, 0 for 2 with 2 Ks (both against the Mets) in July.
