Curt Schilling no longer has an outlet.

I really wish someone would ask Schilling "Are you going to pay back the state of Rhode Island?" 500 times a day every day for the rest of his life.

In a relation story to the "Papa Slam" debacle, MLB At-Bat still sucks.

A reminder that Bryce Harper is a very dumb person and a huge cheater.

and what is with the undershirt under the t-shirt (look at Bryce's right sleeve). He may be making Baseball Fun Again, but demonstrates why baseball players does not set fashion trends.

Yeah, that was the problem, they'll be fine now.

Braves fire Fredi Gonzalez as manager

...likely just nipping Ausmus at the wire for first manager of the year fired.

He was a bad manager, but that was obvious a couple of years ago, when a non-bad manager might have made a difference.

That looked horrible, I feared he'd lacerate his liver or do some other internal damage. I hope he is ok.

He said his bottom rib slammed into his hip bone. Which... ow.

I am not sure that is possible. W/o serious internal damage/death. That got me thinking, I'll look it up, ask around. (Maybe just not possible for fat fucks like me.)

I had to go re-watch the replay after I saw the quote. And I could see how it happened given the way that his body torqued -- but you're right. I believe the tweet said he was also saying he was lucky he didn't break any bones and as far as I'm concerned, that would refer to the spine vs. the rib/hip.

Not much better for an overworked bullpen than Kershaw getting a start against the Reds.

I'm so furious at Maddon for taking Kyle Hendricks out of the game with two outs in the seventh. He retires 10 in a row, then a guy bunts for a single. Hendricks has only thrown 100 pitches at that point. So Maddon pulls him to put in Strop, who quickly gives up hits and runs and runs.

SOB should be fired.

Is this what being a Yankees fan was like?

Serves me right for being cocky. 4-8 since then, including that doubleheader. They've scored 3 or less in 7 of their last 8 games. Argh.

If the Red Sox failed to reach base in any of their next 65 plate appearances and the Mariners reached base in all of their next 65 plate appearances, we'd have a new AL leader in OBP

Post by **Sabo** » Wed May 25, 2016 7:44 am

The Reds have used 23 pitchers this year. The most they've ever used in one season is 30.

A_B · Post by **A_B** » Wed May 25, 2016 7:49 am

They are only using one guy out of the bullpen rest of season, I hear

tennbengal · Post by **tennbengal** » Wed May 25, 2016 8:18 am

That would be a HUGE improvement. Would cut down on the walks.

Wish Ichiro had played his entire career in the U.S. so he could be breaking Rose's hits record right about now.

Arrieta is falling apart today. He has given up 4 runs in 4 innings.

The last time he gave up 4 runs was last June.

I'm convinced that the Cubs have hit the skids because one of my former law school roommates has decided to move to Chicago. He announced on May 8 that he and his wife are moving there. Cubs are 7-8 since then. He was Mr. Raysfan prior to the move, and showed up to a recent going away party decked out in Cubs gear. I'd be happy to kick him in the nuts for you, as he deserves it for many additional reasons.

Please do. Early and often. Especially if they blow this one.

Sorta hoping they blow it just for the extra incentive to kick him square in the nards.
