  I agree.

  Wow Craig Counsell just gave the wrong lineup card to Dusty and the umps and then batted Braun instead of Lucroy. Wow.

  Taillon on the DL due to shoulder fatigue. Not good. We barely knew you.

  He's gone 90 innings after not pitching for two years. Something was bound to happen, whether legit or not, to limit his IP this year. I won't be concerned about this until I have reason to be. Shoulder hasn't been his problem so far. Looks like another of the team's AAA guys will get a chance, so it'll be interesting to see if Brault can keep the solid efforts going that Taillion and Kuhl have provided.

  Although not being a Pirates fan but a dynasty owner of his, I wasn't happy to see it. Then again, I built this team with Snell, Taillon, Reed, Velasquez, Giolito, Manaea, Pomeranz and Tyler Duffey. I was hoping to get a huge boost post-AS break as they are all rolling now.

  Local kid from Marion Local/Ohio state then to San Diego and most recently Pirates is supposedly could be signing with the Marlins pending his physical. Likely would start at AAA.
  
  Saw a little of the pregame for the Ft Bragg game. Pretty cool. Guess some fuss over that marlins guy who shows up at all the big games getting to the game?

  Not him. I believe he didn't attend out of respect. The guy who the fuss is about is some douche whose life revolves around going to tons of games to get baseballs. He somehow got a ticket and was posting on Twitter a pic of him holding one of the special balls they had for that game.

  Must be in the 82nd airborne then....
  
  
  
  My bad..I thought it was the same guy. I only watched the pregame and first couple of pitches.

  Huh, Jung Ho Kang accused of sexually assaulting a woman in Chicago. That's not really the sort of thing I was hoping to hear.
• Azubuike24

  

  Given the Reyes and Olivera case, he's probably done for the year.
• Ironman92

  

  Forgot about this. Yikes
  
  
• Azubuike24

  

  Didn't really matter. Nobody saw Donaldson being very good and he would've never stayed on Chicago through their purge in the early 2010's anyway. Rich Harden was pretty dominant at the time.

  Oh ok thanks.

  Kershaw on DL
  Arrieta struggling last few starts
  Sale just gave up 8 to Braves
  Syndergaard left in 5th with injury
  
  Johnny Cueto might be best pitcher in baseball right now. Strasburg and Fernandez not too shabby

  No love for Fulmer? He's 9-2 with a 2.11 ERA

  He's 113th in innings pitched...Cueto is 1st and has killer numbers. If Fullmer can keep doing what he's doing then we'll talk. Odds are strong teams figure out his stuff and adapt. Everyone knows Cueto.
• Ironman92

  

  Syndergaard replaced by Pomeranz
  
  Cespedes replaced by Marte
  
  Fowler replaced by Bruce
• thavoice

  Marlins going with a 4 man rotation until the 19th. Local kid, Marion Local/Ohio State just signed with them last week so maybe if he can show em something the next few days he may get the call up!
  
  
  Havent watched as much ball this summer with the reds being as bad as they are. HR derby keeps me engaged for about 10 minutes and after that.....nah.
  
  Talking this AM about a pitcher being in the derby (baumbartner) and how that wont happen..but maybe a relay...3 pitchers, 1 per round in a pitchers revenge type of thing. That could be interesting.
  and pitchers doing a control thing like in hockey knockin gdown targets

  for godsakes, it's Bumgarner...I mean, Baumbartner?!?

  I'm taking Frazier over Cano in the finals.
  
  Pumped though about the potential display by Stanton
• Mulva

  

  I'd vote Frazier or Myers as most likely to disappoint.

  I could see CarGo hitting a lot of doubles. Won't be surprised if Trumbo fails

  At first the Padres retro jerseys looked bad but I'm really starting to like the look for the ASG festivities

  Giancarlo...damn I wish he wouldn't have gotten hurt right before the break last year.
