I'm going to try to grab Pete Alonso off waivers in my fantasy baseball league. I have a claim on him right now, but it doesn't process til Thursday. Wish me luck.
in the long run they'd probably draw even less people in montreal than they do in miami. the preseason series the jays play there is always well attended but i suspect that's because it's only 3 games and not 81.
Oh there’s no doubt our fan showing is pathetic when the team is decent, but make no mistake, what you’re seeing now is the fans like me who did go to the games (when I lived there) fed up with being used.
Exactly. Plus, the stadium situation was an issue almost the entire time the Expos were in Montreal. At least the Marlins have that.
The Marlins can only hope to improve like the Astros did in the mid-2010's. They've already gutted the team. Now, they've just gotta hope their young players pan out.
The Mariners are two bullpen meltdowns away from 10-0. I know it’s not real and that they’ll end the season within 5 games of .500, but it’s sure fun while it’s lasting.
Also, Tim Beckham made it to 1 fWAR today and is being paid $1.75m this year. Suck it Californian Los Angeles Angels Of The Mike Trout District Of Albert Pujols’ Buttered Ass Hair In Anaheim Orange County California.
Unfortunately their pitching is #1 in the league in runs allowed, which is why they're at 2-6 right now.
But if they get their relievers issues sorted out, they're going to be very dangerous. Because Bryant hasn't even been performing up to potential and he's another formidable weapon.
Bullpens all over the league are faltering badly. Front offices are trying to frame that as an area to cut corners and repair with trade deadline moves if necessary. This is a logical check after that market bloat we saw a few years ago, but it seems to be backfiring for major contenders like the Red Sox, Cubs and Nats.
Their bullpen ERA is solidly in the bottom half of the league too, which makes sense considering how much work they're putting in. I know they're already starting AAA call ups because there aren't enough arms for how many innings they need to fill.
After all the shit the media talked about Kimbrel's failed search for a top tier contract, he may get one after all. I can think of half a dozen good teams that need him right now.
