Inanimate Carbon Rod Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 I was at The Tacoma Rainiers v Salt Lake Bees in the Triple-A Pacific Coast League today. It was a near sell out crowd on a gorgeous day and wevsawvsome great baseball played. My wife's friend brought her dad who wanted to sit next to me so he could fill me in on the details of the game since it was my first time. He was an absolute delight and enhanced my experience greatly. Despite the result, I had a great time and when we come to visit the in-laws in the future I'm sure we'll be back. We got our tickets today as part of a promotion and paid just $11 which included a stadium meal, a cap and a voucher for a Chick-fil-a meal. Absolutely outstanding value. If my father-in-law's contact comes through, we'll be at the Seattle Mariners game on Tuesday night as well, which I'm really looking forward to. https://piesontheterraces.wordpress.com/2018/07/23/tacoma-v-salt-lake/Really glad you enjoyed the MiLB, im a huge fan of going to minor league games, so far been to Round Rock Express in Texas and Nashville sounds in Tenn and then to the florida single A league, fire frogs and Tampa yankees, its good eh? I wish there was a bit less of the forced atmosphere and there was a bit of singing like at a football match but thats not the american way!lol. Hope you get to the mariners game, should be fun! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This season, I remain optimistic we're capable of topping this. I'm thinking Robert Gsellman transitions his way to ineligibility or Brandon Nimmo spontaneously combusts rounding third base (minimum 60 day DL). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cespedes out for 2 months, returns and plays one game and then announces he needs season ending surgery. Aye. That about tops Syndergaard. f**k and, indeed, sake. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Signed till end of 2020 I believe. I read that he’d played in less than half the Mets games since signing his last contract at the end of 2016 season. Excellent bit of business. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at Hunter Pence - 35 and can barely hit the ball out of the infield. But he also got two world series rings. So you take it. It's arguable if the Mets ever got value for money from that Cespedes deal though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Mets have been chasing the player they got when they first traded for him in 2015 and they came oh so close to the big prize. When he opted out of his contract at the end of 2016 you could understand that they were reluctant to let him go, so he gets a new 4 year deal at megabucks. It's been one injury after another ever since and his salary becomes a massive obstacle to building for the future. It's fucked. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David W Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 Phillies continue to astound and amaze. 7 homers last night, with three players each getting two. They'll get shutout tonight. In other news, I got to see Kershaw pitching to Trout the other week. Which was cool. Also saw a game at AT&T Park, which is nicer than Dodgers stadium but absolutely freezing even in the middle of July. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even when he’s meh, he’s good. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig fae the Vale Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 I did end up getting to the Mariners hosting the Giants last week. A couple of absolute booming home runs, abut it was a throwing error from Dee Gordon that allowed the Giants to win 4-3 in the ninth. Safeco is a fantastic stadium, it went right up the top of my favourite list! https://piesontheterraces.wordpress.com/2018/07/28/seattle-v-san-francisco/ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torpar Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 Jays trade Roberto Osuna to the Astros for Ken Giles and two minor leaguers, from a moral and business stance I can understand why they did but from a baseball stance it's another poor trade by Toronto. Hopefully Osuna can get his shit together and be a decent player in Houston 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s Syndergaard back today so we’re post-season bound. Either that or he’ll be on the 60 day DL tomorrow. ETA - or this! The hilarity continues apace.

lichtie23 Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 Already 3 down. To be fair......that Nationals team isn’t as bad as their record suggests. There much better than a .500 team 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
