In reference to more his prospect and his grades on his power, so "fell" is not the proper word, but he certainly didn't live up to what the Rangers had in mind originally.

Also I'm not sure how I feel about the Astros yet. It looks like they're at least in the market for additional SP help after McHugh's bad stretch, and word has it that they are potentially in on Clippard as well. Know they had extreme interest in Clippard prior to the beginning of the season.

Being from DFW this could be slight homer-ish, although the Rangers aren't my team, but they are starting to play more like I expected. Well enough to put them in a position to start actively thinking about coughing up the prospects for a Hamels.

They got SP on the way, they need to trade for some relievers.

This just sounds salty.

Log In - The New York Times

Michael S. Schmidt of the New York Times reports that the F.B.I. and Justice Department prosecutors are investigating front-office officials for the Cardinals for hacking into the internal networks of the Astros.

Investigators have uncovered evidence that Cardinals officials broke into an internal network for the Astros which contained internal discussions about trades, proprietary statistics, and scouting reports. Officials believe the hacking was executed by "vengeful front-office employees" trying to do damage to Astros general manager Jeff Luhnow, who formerly worked for the Cardinals. The Cardinals officials under investigation have not been put on leave, suspended or fired, but this obviously has potentially serious legal ramifications. MLB commissioner Rob Manfred said in a statement Tuesday that MLB "has been aware of and has fully cooperated with the federal investigation" and will act once it has been completed.

Man, what a weird day. Two teams lost by 12+ runs, both of which brought in a position player to pitch (2 in Tampa's case) who all gave up homeruns.

Lots of position players used to pitch at some point- some of them not even that long ago. The main reason you see them every now and then is sometimes the bullpen is just getting hazed, and position players that pitch always go 'hey, let me have a shot at it.' I'll never forget the game where I was at where a position player got hauled out to pitch. Crowd loved it. Made a game that was otherwise a total stomp against us a once in a lifetime experience.

It wasn't that a posistion player pitched. It's because they said fuck it when they were down by that much and took the phone off the hook in the bullpen.

You would think if you're down by that much and they stick a posistion player in you might want to check the phone to see if someone should be warming up lol. Maybe a new call up or something.

Sandberg is probably moments of away from getting fired. He has lost that clubhouse.

It wasn't so much the position players pitching that was weird, just that it happened 3 times, twice in one game, and they all gave up homeruns (with the aforementioned two in one game both giving up a homerun to the same hitter). That, coupled with the whole Cardinals/Astros thing, Washington pinch hitting for their DH with a pitcher, Baltimore hitting 8 homeruns...just an odd day all around.

Look out, rest of MLB. Chris Carter is starting to heat up. His average is all the way up to .212.
