placidcasual Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 Yeah, he'll kind of be remembered for that but in my opinion he's one of the best 1B in baseball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k-ton Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 Jay Bruce away to the Indians. Slightly surprising trade, must be a reason though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd read an article that was about the low likelihood of it happening due to the benefits of the Mets being able to make a qualifying offer. I thought it was still to their benefit to pay him, make an offer and if rejected get a fairly high draft pick as compo from the team that signed him.

I guess they were never going to offer him that qualifying offer. You'd basically be signing him to a one year $20m contract. Now that money is freed up and they can play a rookie. Once the post season is gone, you see what you have on the farm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamuraiJock Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 Cracking fight shaping up in the NL Central this year. 4 teams within 3 games of the top. Cubs (59-54) remain maddeningly inconsistent, but on top. Hot-hitting Contreras now out for a month as well. Not looking much like last year's team. Cardinals (59-56) now in 2nd on a hot streak having won the last 6 games Brewers (59-58) slumping and lost the last 5 Pirates (57-58) and trending upwards the last few weeks Wouldn't bet on any of them doing much damage in the postseason, but should make for some exciting games during the run-in!

I particularly enjoyed that they felt they had to come up with a new rule in response to the misuse of a potato. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely every team doesn't use the same hand signals to communicate between pitcher and catcher? If each team devised their own code this wouldn't be an issue.

I'm guessing once you've watched a video of a pitcher and catcher you can figure out the signals quite easily - and verify they're still using the same ones in your match with them once you've seen the first dozen pitches.
