He's played in every game since Aug 3 including both games yesterday.  May just be a day off.

And he's 1 for his last 12.

Per Kaplan:

Jake Marisnick tweaked his right groin in the first game yesterday. More of a day to day thing.

Was Musgrove considered the centerpiece of the Happ trade? Obviously a kot of guys changed hands.

Probably although Luhnow was very high on Wojo, too. He had scouted Wojo at The Citadel and liked him. The catcher Perez was also in that deal and was considered a good prospect. Rollins, a LF pitcher made a ML team this season.Then there were a couple of guys coming this way that were fodder for the roster until the cavalry arrived.

Not wanting to be outdone by the US women's soccer team, the US men's basketball team is playing some of the fugliest basketball you've ever seen. Serbia has the ball with 9 seconds left down by 3.
Title: Re: Astros @ Blue Jays August 12, 2016
Post by: austro on August 12, 2016, 07:02:17 pm
And they give Serbia's best shooter a wide open 3 that he somehow misses. US survives, barely.

No shit. That was brutal. And this is the real danger of using your other catcher as the DH.

Especially when you only carry 12 position players.

Is anyone watching mlb.tv on an iPad? Today out of the blue for some reason the app crashes just when the video is about to load. I've restarted the iPad and reinstalled the app but the issue persists.

He could conceivably get his 200th hit in August.

Since it opened in 1989, there have been at least three incidents at the hotel where couples were having sex in plain view of tens of thousands of fans, as well as one incident when a man was thrown out of the hotel for masturbating at the window, believing it was one-way glass.

You must have missed that Teoscar got stuck in customs and missed BP. Wait till the coach has a chance to fuck him up.

MLB Trade Rumors now saying that with both the Mets and Cards interested in Gomez, a trade is more likely than releasing him.

He just needs to trust his stuff and not tip his pitches.
