We have FUBO and it's great.

No issues watching games

Speaking of Yainer Diaz:

Dropping minimum PA to 80 to include him, he ranks (among catchers):

xwOBA - 5th
Slugging - 6th
wRC+ - 14th

I brought this up a few pages ago with the Trade Simulator -- I think Pederson is a guy to target and he may not cost us much.

Also, Chas and a lower-level player or two for Wheeler could be good. Chas would be back in his hometown.

Wheeler would be awesome. I wanted him really badly when he was a FA but lol'd when Philly broke the bank for such an unproven guy. They were right tho.

Yep, but MLB.tv with VPN wasn't working, so this was my option.

I don't know why they say OF prospect. Zach is an infielder. He can play third and second and he's played a couple games at first as well.

Monday night's offensive explosion claims its 3rd victim… Bass gave up 2 runs in an inning to end the game…

Previous 2 victims are Alex Manoah and Tuesday night's offense

Is that a valid reason for a team to cut a guy? Wouldn't he have a free speech complaint?

He's also at about a 5.00 ERA, 1.40 whip and is probably their worst reliever.

So they can claim that. I guess it's fans on social media saying it's b/c of his social media posts, not the team?

Darn, he was supposed to continue his reeducation tour by throwing the Pride Night first pitch to some androgynous weirdo.

Yeah the team hasn't come out and said anything. I'd imagine the reasoning was a little bit of both. If it was a guy with a sub 3.00 ERA then I'd imagine they'd overlook it

What a wild world we live in. I didn't follow the story too closely. I can't even find what he originally shared. Just one story sharing a quote from what was shared.

Quote:
In the clip shared by Bass, the original poster of the video states, "Here's the reason biblically why I believe Christians have gotta be boycotting Target, Bud Light, and any other corporation that's pushing the things they're pushing. I think a lot of people make this into a political issue, or they say 'Oh what's the big deal?'"


On what planet is that controversial, requires an apology, or contributes to being DFA'd?

If I'm him I file a complaint and ask for documentation discussing why I was fired and if anything comes up with that sue for religious grounds. Its going to take stuff like that to kill this movement in addition to Target and BL type stances

This makes it worse. He apologized and kissed the rainbow ring, only to be kicked to the curb anyway.

The line-up will be interesting tonight without Yordan. Need as as much pop in the line-up as possible. Given that Abreu is gonna play, who would you go with?

I'd say:
Altuve-DH
Pena-SS
Tucker-RF
Bregman-3rd
Diaz-C
Abreu-1st
Dubon-2nd
Meyers-CF
McCormick-LF
Just to add, this is a combination of the line-up I'd have and how Dusty would place them in the line-up. I also think Dubon hits better lower in the batting order IMO.....What y'all got?

Sometimes it's just not your year. Injuries just derail it. Bad play. Bad luck.

It sucks.
