2016 MLB thread. THE CUBS HAVE BROKEN THE CURSE! Chicago Cubs are your 2016 World Series champions

Hate that Buxton got hurt. I hope doesn't turn out like Matt Kemp once he starts showing out. Always this or that, injury-wise.

Beltre might be one the most underrated players of all time

He's an "elite" defender and well above average with the bat. Id take him on my team any day.

Probably true. I don't think he's underrated around here, but overall, yeah.

 

[nick.]

Beltre's as consistent as they come with the glove & bat

easily a HoFer

 

[johnnyredstorm]

Beltre's had such a quiet career. Knew he was always consistently solid, but not 3000 hits/HOF solid so easy to look over him when considering some of the other players of his generation.

Get Oberholtzer outta here with these meatballs.

He's getting mashed out there.

He's not a major league pitcher.
We have to trade for some pitchers or we aren't going to make the playoffs.

I can't believe that Obie got tossed though

That ball didn't even hit A-Rod

 

[madj55]

at the double play the Marlins just turned.

My guy Hunter hit 2 homers today.

@MiLB: In his Triple-A debut, the @astros' Mark Appel gave up seven runs over three innings for the @FresnoGrizzlies. http://t.co/KdaJ2KeReA

@AstrosFuture: Mark Appel went 3 IP, 7 H, 7 R, 7 ER, 2 BB, 1 K in AAA debut #Astros

This guy

Man, I definitely thought he was signed for his swan song since the team wasn't expected to compete (probably was), but I'd say him along with Dozier have been the clear catalysts for their offense.

"Gallardo's 0.54 ERA will also be best JUNE ERA by any AL pitcher since at least 1972. Previous: Wilson Alvarez (0.83) in June, 1997

Gallardo's 0.54 ERA in June will be #RANGERS record for any month (minimum 30 IPs). Previous: Kenny Rogers at 0.65 in May, 1995."

Bartolo Colon and Jon Niese for a PTBNL

If the Astros traded for Colon, it would be a crime against humanity taking him out of the NL 

 

[jewbacca2]

Astros down 6-0

Correa and Altuve go back to back to tie it

 

[awwsome]

HR derby in Houston right now, Tanaka getting rocked.

Going to be hard for Tanaka to keep cooking only throwing his fastball 35% of the time 

 

 

[johnnyredstorm]

the rain today is really screwing with my dfs lineups

 

[jewbacca2]

Tanaka, CC, A-Rod, Tex, and Ellsbury  all making over 20 mil this year 

McCann 17 mil

Beltran 15 mil

Headley 13 mil 

Gardner 12 mil 

Miller 9 mil 

 

Astros under 70 mil for the entire team 

 

[nick.]

i hate this team

 

[awwsome]

Yankees printing money.


Good Christ @ paying CC 20 mill though, dude is beyond washed.

printing money or not, just the wasting of money though 

 

[johnnyredstorm]

How is the Yankees best hitter earning the least

 

[nick.]

Gardner is well worth the money imo

plays a great LF, always hovering around a .300 avg, & can steal bases with the best of em
