LittleHurt05 Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 The Rays just intentionally walked MCab for the 3rd straight game with runners on 1st & 2nd. And for the 3rd straight game the move worked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalapse Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jul 29, 2010 -> 01:14 PM) The Rays just intentionally walked MCab for the 3rd straight game with runners on 1st & 2nd. And for the 3rd straight game the move worked. This is the same manager that intentionally walked Josh Hamilton with the bases loaded, 2 outs and a 4 run lead in Arlington during one of Hamilton's torrid hot streaks in 2008. I love the way Joe Maddon's mind works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chw42 Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 We can put the Tigers way back in the rearview mirror with a win today. Â Once you start falling 6-7 games out by the trade deadline, you're probably not going to win the division. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greg775 Posted August 1, 2010 Share Posted August 1, 2010 Royals still want to deal Jose Guillen after he clears waivers or gets claimed by a team on waivers, it was said before the game tonight. Â I would not have been against acquiring Ankiel. Was he the lefthanded bat we should have acquired? Â Yost, by the way, loves Getz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted August 1, 2010 Share Posted August 1, 2010 Minnesota Twins. Not only did the Twins give up one of their biggest trade chips in Ramos, they got a pitcher in Matt Capps whose cost will be prohibitive with Joe Nathan(notes) returning at $11.25 million next year. A non-tender is almost certain, with Capps due upward of $6 million, which means they gave up six years of a potential power-hitting catcher for a reliever who will throw 35 innings max.  It doesn’t matter if you’re getting Mariano Rivera(notes) in his prime: Unless a relief pitcher pulls off some remarkable escapes from trouble and his team wins the World Series, he simply will not be worth six years of a prospect, the first three of which cost only $400,000 a season.  Surely Ramos could have fetched a starting pitcher, a far greater position of need than bullpen for the Twins. They’ve got Francisco Liriano(notes), Carl Pavano(notes) and … well, there’s plenty of room on the Kevin Slowey(notes)/Scott Baker/Brian Duensing(notes) bandwagon. passan/yahoosports   Jose Guillen is a player there's at least a 33% chance he gets to us...

Managers tend to fall in love with some players for odd reasons. Often those reasons seem to extend beyond being any good at baseball.

TheChrisSamsa Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 3, 2010 -> 08:41 AM) Carlos Santana was carted off last night after an impact at home. Â I watched this live last night and my girlfriend and I both had the type of reaction that most have at brutal scenes of a horror movie. It looked extremely painful. Initial reports are that it's not as bad as it looks, which is good because looked like his knee bent backwards, but I'd imagine Santana will atleast see the 15 day DL, which is a shame because he's a hell of a ball player (and my fantasy baseball catcher).
