OT: MLB Thread - Part XVI: Come On. Do Something.

[surf]

So at this point I assume no Rosario or Smith til the September roster expansion for the Mets since they couldn't move out any position players

Rosario up tomorrow!!

 

[BlueshirtBlitz]

Sad that the Mets deadline ended up like it did. Not the worst, but definitely not optimal. On the bright side, Amed debuting tomorrow !!

I don't think I've sat down to actually watch a full Mets game since like April. Tomorrow I will.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

I like this decision. Drag it out, we got nothing to look forward to besides these two call ups and Noah returning. Wait one series, and then call Dom up for the series after this one, lets not waste all the excitement for one game.

 

[Blueblood9]

love love love this deal for both the yanks and oakland. Yanks just officially opened their window a yr or 2 early (i thought it would be open in 2019 personally) with Gray. Out of Mateo/Florial Mateo was the biggest risk. And with the injuries that fowler/kap sustained (major career altering in some cases) they have major ? attached to them. They managed to hold on to the top 5 organizational prospects for one of the biggest gets at teh deadline.

Noah
Jake
Conforto

This, "if you're not the overwhelming favorites, you shan't bother" meme is even dumber in baseball than it is in hockey

I agree 100%.

Incoming 0-3, 2K performance

I only follow baseball very casually. Anyone got a hockey comparable for me?

 

[SA16]

Ror.

 

[LaffyTaffyNYR]

The biggest difference I've noticed from Severino this season (at least most games), He could not have his best stuff and instead of like last year he would get blown up and give up run after run, this year he competes and at least gives you a quality start. 5 innings pitched 1 ER isn't great, but what he had tonight and the defense letting him down some as well I'll take it.

All we know is he´s electric so hopefully McDavid....

Dellin Betances Last 10 Games
ERA 0.93 (1/9.2)

Betances is still all messed up mechanically. The numbers may look better but he hasn't.

Chapman on the other hand, looks like hes back to form.

Its hard to find a comparable for hockey because prospects are judged so differently, the positions are just very different.

I guess you could say he's comparable to a defenseman due the defensive side of the game has been there for years, the offensive improvements have come a little later to be more of a potential five tool player in his prime and he has 4 and a half tools already, so its getting there, but the earliest tools were his athleticism, hit tool and feel for the game defensively.

Maybe like Jones or Parayko, something like that.

Yankees back to Yankeeing

Chapman looks like his normal self right now.

Betances is still a bit off, but he's definitely looked better than he did the past month and a half or so.

 

[Cassano]

Cashman said we can expect Bird back in late August.

 

[Thirty One]

Cashman said we can expect Bird back in late August.

I heard he didn't want to come back from Randy L. R. Levine

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

I think thats a tad bit optimistic.

I hope he can pull a Schwarber and help them in the postseason though.

 

[LeetchisGod]

Cashman said we can expect Bird back in late August.

I'm not expecting much from him. The next injury is probably just around the corner.

 

[Machinehead]

Another homerun for Julius

 

[darko]

The Yankees getting out of the AL isn't the problem so much IMO as it is beating the Nats or dodgers in the World Series. I'd give them a shot vs LA and next to none vs the Nats

Nats last postseason series win was?
